Tired argument. Tired responses.

There you have it, folks. These contemptible pieces of shit are now openly admitting that they were "excited" by the knowledge that they were driving away lifelong fans. What a bunch of absolutely worthless fucking cunts.

That's the stupidest shit I've ever read.

“There has been so much gained as well, for the better.” Such as?

Honestly, what the fuck are they alluding to? What has been ‘gained’ from this utterly moronic approach? What a meaningless platitude that says absolutely nothing. And openly admitting excitement to the prospect of alienating a key proportion of the series’ prior audience is, as alluded to above, bafflingly idiotic.

This is what happens when society closes its mental homes and puts the patients in charge of media outlets.

i don't expect bit part actors to understand the show enough so as to give an intelligent opinion considering that the main star and showrunner don't

BAFTA Cymru Self-Congratlator Awards on now, Jodie and Mandip in attendence

And of course the first two responses are by weirdos who 'ship Yaz and Doc...only, worse, they seem to be indicating Jodie is turned on by Mandip in real life.

And DW didn't walk away with awards there either last night...I imagine if it did, there'd have been some news on the 13th like some on twitter had been predicting, at least we've been denied some smug bragging from the usual suspects.

I thought she was married with kids. Bit of a pisser for them i would have thought.

New Who apparently confirmed for series 13 and 14.

Where did you hear this?

It's on Twitter, HBO Max (?) I think it's called is the US streaming service that now airs it over there.

It hasn't done anything to deserve another series. Any other show would have been taken off the air by now.

The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Law & Order etc are all renewed annually despite their best years being long behind them, it's not something that's unique to DW unfortunately.

If they keep to the scheduling, series 14 should air around 2022/2023, which is the 60th anniversary. We've been hearing stories about the BBC's intention to end the original continuity at that point and "hard reboot" the franchise via movies or something else.

But it is quite rare for British TV to do that. Unlike the yanks, we have a tendency to actually end a show well before it even reaches its prime. I can't think of many examples of a TV show in the UK that outlived its welcome quite as much as New Who has done.

I wonder if NuWho is now being judged on a policital / ideological level rather than its entertainment value. Meaning a collapse in ratings and audience appreciation aren't as vital as you would expect and that the show's life will be prolonged as long as it is feeding viewers the "right" message. ChibberBalls may possibly be getting the boot but i would guess the new production team will continue the female doctor, woke agenda thing.

I don't know, I think that Sherlock would have been better if it ended by Season 2, and future Series's dragged the show out to an immensely annoying degree. Also, don't kid yourself, Japanese anime overstays it's welcome just as much if not much more than American shows. I won't ever watch One Piece because of it having over 900 episodes, or Pokemon constantly staying stagnant despite going on for fucking eons.

Actually, the recent Pokemon Sun and Moon anime ended with Ash finally winning a Pokemon league. Even the BBC covered it online.

kid anime, sure. But stuff made for older folks is great. And it always has some deep meaning unlike American drivel. Heck, even the kids stuff in Japan has to be mutilated for the yanks to understand it. T

Sorry, but when it comes to poor quality, you are never going to convince me that anyone makes anything half as bad as the yanks. I'd even go as far to argue that the reason why so much of our own culture's TV is bad is because of American influence.

The story with David tennant sounds really bad Jodie lecturing David tennant doctor about the doctor being a sexist that's the rumour.

I kind of hope so. This trainwreck is just hysterical.

Given that they’d already done the same thing to Hartnell’s Doctor in Twice Upon a Time, I can easily see them doing this, although whether this rumour has any validity to it is anyone’s guess. I doubt it myself.

Though most of us here aren’t fans of his (myself included), Tennant’s Doctor is exceptionally popular amongst the mainstream fan community, and I don’t see why they’d do this so overtly- the backlash by mainstream fandom would be ridiculous, and even the likes of the Turd Team have an allegiance to RTD’s era, so would they support this? Probably, but doing this does seem like a step too far- given that Tennant’s Doctor has many female fans, they would vehemently oppose this, thus completely shattering the media narrative that those in fandom opposing NuWho, Chibnall and Jodie are mere misogynists. A narrative the likes of them seem desperate to uphold.

It may be true. They're desperate for viewers, and what better way to get them back than with the return of Tennant. Added to that Tennant is great friends with Jodie and Chibnall too.

Still there have been these kinds of rumours before remember. Tennant and Smith and McGann were all apparently going to appear in the season 9 finale.

Believe it or not Claudia Boleyn was very unhappy with Hartnell being smeared as a sexist. She said it violated the canon, was Moff rewriting the show for his own ends, was an insult to Hartnell and made no sense as the First Doctor didn't actually come from the 60s.

It just goes to show you how cucked Moff was. He went too far even for Claudia!
