BBC adventures with the wife edition
/who/ - Doctor Who General
This is sad.
I mean, Moffat's female characters are Mary Sues to begin with.
Which Doctor has the biggest penis?
Then how can anyone claim he's sexist?
You ask them. I guess because Amy was sexy, while being highly competent, charismatic, and in charge.
Tom Baker's is small. his autobiography was grim.
You can actually freeze-frame the towel scene in 'The Lodger' and Matt Smith looks like he MIGHT have a big penis? Could have been a modesty sock.
Not sure which of them have appeared nude in anything.
can't post that outside of Anon Babble, buddy
Matt Smith already has photographic evidence.
IE ugly bitches seething that pretty women exist.
Moffat's problem with writing women is that he reveres them. it's the opposite of sexism. He has big simp energy, as a writer.
Davison: YA soap opera with edgy nihilism
Can't be YA soap opera if no one's fucking. That and it ain't edgy unless the only shit you watch is kid stuff.
Colin: Edgy nihilism
Same as above.
Capaldi: Morality Character Study, the show's answer to Breaking Bad, House MD, The Sopranos, etc.
Horse shit.
All I can describe Davison as is the bland era, desu.
The vanilla ice cream, colour beige, plain pizza era.
I think the angle they were going for is he was supposed to be more active, and more of an action hero, but he wasn't.
Also Colin Baker is the "everyone is just doing coke now" era.
Listening to Big Finish made me realize how lame and simpy everything was. It fucking feels like it's written by nerds for nerds.
There are some weird sexy episodes from early on that fans HATE, because Doctor Who fans hate having fun.
This one?
I was thinking Minuet in Hell.
Rape scene where its unclear if it's successful or not
5th head is ripped off and his body eaten by witches
Imagine being so fucking gross with your work that all of the Big Finish staff goes "never write for us again" IN 2003
Minuet in Hell
None of that stuff sounds bad. Are the crew just that fucking soft? In the 00s when EDGE was in? They had successful rape in mainstream 80s movies. The fuck are they crying about?
Well the bbc kept calling doctor who a 'kids show', which basically means they could cherry pick what is and isnt allowed to be discussed in stories. Theres a bunch of fucked up stuff in the Virgin books, especially in 7th's stories. He's erased two timelines from existence, meaning he genocided everyone that existed from that diverging path, including companions.
My guess is either BBC were clamping down hard on Big Finish or the company just fucking hated the author guy. Apparently he was later hired as the director for the two animated episodes of The Reign of Terror.

Good for him.
The Giggle is a masterpiece.
If you're a gay tranny.
So, how does the Doctor recover from that?

Announced 1 hour ago - Doctor Who will return on BBC1 for further series regardless of whether Disney renews the deal.
RTD expected to stick around for an additional two series.
As I said a few threads back, the BBC will continue beating the dead horse.
It does occur to me that people at BF had to read and approve the story, so it's pretty rich they put all the blame on him.
didn't he do something like that in BF as well, it's been years since I listened to the story but I think he did something like that in a story involving alien Sharks and I think Klein was in it as well.
Tomorrow's cliffhanger has been leaked on GB (Mrs Flood reveal)
"Floods are messy, loud, theatrical. But rain... rain is insidious. It seeps into the cracks, drowns you slow. Hides the tears in the storm. Thought by thought, soul by soul. That's always been my way, Doctor. And you missed it, even when the name was staring you in the face. Mrs Flood, ever so quaint isn't it? Same letters. Just a little... rearrangement. Like this world. Like your mind. Like Ruby. Like Belinda. Like little Poppy. Like me. I've always loved a good anagram. Turns out, we're not so different after all. Did you miss me?"
She also apparently has a TARDIS that is disguised as a giant skeleton of a dinosaur
And in the 2 part finale there are 2 versions of the Rani and they are trying to bring back Omega from the underverse, who now looks like a giant metal hand with an eye in its palm.
Omega is a Mario boss now?
They do a "his soul is in limbo and they can revive him with witchcraft"
Omega is a Mario boss now?
Mrs Flood, ever so quaint isn't it? Same letters. Just a little... rearrangement.
I'm too stupid to get that
you left out that people would have to wait two fucking years before we get the next season. doctor who will be dead from such a long gap of time. RTD being showrunner is just furthering the nail into the coffin
Idk if there was rape in it, but there's a 4th Doctor story where he and Sarah Jane Smith genocide a race of anthropomorphic sharks known as the Pescatons and they had no remorse while doing it.
After months of rumours and speculation, it has been revealed that Doctor Who will continue on BBC One for further series beyond this year, but fans may have to wait until 2027.
The Mirror reports that the series will return to BBC One for future series, with Russell T Davies already working on scripts for an additional two series, irrespective of whether Disney decide to continue in their partnership with the BBC beyond this series
A source said to The Mirror: "Whether or not Disney stays, the expectation is that the show will continue. Yes, there will be a gap while the scripts are finalised, the episodes are filmed and the editing process takes place. But we’ll be back..."
A source added to the newspaper: "When Doctor Who began its partnership with Disney+, there was additional funding put in place. Doctor Who is an expensive show to make, with its effects budget taking up a significant part of the overall spend, so if Disney were to withdraw its funding, then there wouldn't be as significant an impact on production as some fans may think. The TARDIS set is still standing in Cardiff, all ready to go on new adventures."
Fuck
The Giggle > The Parting of the Ways
Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa has been replaced as the Eurovision 2025 spokesperson due to "unforeseen circumstances".
bbc.co.uk
He can't get away from the BBC fast enough
I would give the series a chance if they fucking sacked RTD, they sacked the other retards Christopher Eccleston brough up, and then just brought in entirely new people. I'd rather have people who don't know anything about Doctor Who over 'fans' at this point. Both are equally terrible options but I can't stand ReTarD's writing anymore.

Embarrassing
due to "unforeseen circumstances".
Who'd he rape?
It's because Israel qualified for the Finale and Nucti Gatwa's family escaped Rwanda during the genocide.
Even funnier that Disney wanted them to be called Season 1 and 2. If they quit it’s actually gonna be
Series 13 (2021)
Season 1 (2024)
Season 2 (2025)
Series 16 (2027)
More like he told them to fuck off
Why doesn't he like Israel?
The thing about Doctor Who fans is there's fans and there's fans, and fans are terrible.
What the series needs pretty much is someone who at least has a broad understanding of Doctor Who, but is not a mega-fan. And also someone who has an appreciation for sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and pulp adventure in general.
I would suggest Alan Moore, but there's no way he's taking on a job like that.
J. Michael Straczynski wouldn't necessarily be a bad shot(since he has expressed an interest).
Mommy Doctor would save Doctor Who
This is like my version of hell.
Ecclestone. He has that big dick energy.
Would she make a good Doctor?
Announced 1 hour ago
"the expectation is"
Nothing has been announced. The Mirror's "sources" say so, and the sources are probably Bad Wolf employees desperately trying to save their jobs. Not even RTD expects the show to continue.
The World War Z writer? Eh fuck it, I'll take an American making the series too action packed at this point. Could be another 3rd Doctor run.
This show desperately needs another break.
it has been revealed
Nothing has been revealed. The article is just speculation.
Is he still gonna outlive Nu Who bros...?
That's your point of reference and not Babylon 5?
RIP
Never heard of it, sorry
Quite possibly the best science fiction TV series ever.
She's American, not British.
I hope so. It will be symbolic.
Ncuti isn't really British either.
shouldn't have Scottish/Irish Dr Whos
Bit late to be splitting hairs about that, eh?
Reality War description
In 2025, the dream of perfection hides a nightmare waiting to be unleashed. As rain falls like silent judgment, the Doctor confronts ancient powers resurrected through faith and deception. Two architects weave a tapestry of lies, summoning a god lost to time, whose gaze unravels worlds. As reality fractures and sacrifices are made, hope clings to the last living memory - a tree planted long ago, standing as the final guardian against oblivion. This is the final journey through darkness, where the Doctor’s story bends and breaks…But at what cost?
"I'm going to write a story about all this misinformation"
"It'll be subtle though Russell.....right?"
but the best Doctors are Scottish and so is Tennant.
the more anons joke about giving the IP to Americans the more I like the idea.
Find some small indie studio with a small budget so they are forced to get creative.
Since they aren't from bongland they would have no qualms about not playing it safe with british televisions golden cow now that the shark has alredy been jumped and prompty shittified they could easily try doing some expirimental and uncouth stuff with the IP.
If the writing team is filled with enough fresh production nerds and they aren't under the boot of a big contract I'm sure they would make something at least more interesting than what we currently have.
desu, this insistence that the production staff remain "British" is kind of bizarre, considering half of them aren't really now, and Sydney Newman was Canadian.
Ncuti been replaced as UK eurovision rep due to anti Israel posts
He got taken by the GMan
Doctor Who confirmed cancelled by reliable leaker.
DanielRPK doesn't know shit about any series he leaks
with work underway on scripts for future series
Yeah, we know that. They aren't waiting for the show to be renewed to write scripts. Shit, ages back ReTarD talked about plotting out Season 4, doesn't mean its happening. I bet all this "they're totes still doing Season 3 just without Disney" is a misunderstanding based on that.
"Floods are messy, loud, theatrical. But rain... rain is insidious"
rain
rani
WHOAH HPOLY SHIT HWAHHTH AH T H
But the Rani was all about dissecting aliens for fun. Universal domination wasn't her thing.
Is RTD genuinely expecting normies to mark out at the Rani? Even Dr Who fans don't care about the Rani.
This reeks of ChatGPT's purple prose nonsense writing
I demand a cute nerdy companion who isn't massive haughty bitch.
How comes no companion ever wore glasses anyway (Audio only and one-off sign of aging doesn't count)
here's my response in the form of another question: was RTD genuinely expecting the average modern viewer to know who the fuck Sutekh was
He brought back Sutek when he only had 1 story in classic who, at least the Rani had 2.
how many bongs?
9.5
He was just following the Disney formula: fans see Glub Shitto reference and make noise on social media
There's 2 Rani's in this as well. The reason why it's meant to be shocking to casual audiences is because she is bigenerated. The other Rani is played by Archie Panjabi.
Doctor Who hasn't been cancelled but has been put on pause. Season 3 will launch in 2027. "The War Between the Land and the Sea" will serve as a stop gap in 2026. Russel T. Davis is obligated for at least 2 more seasons and has written several scripts already.
[Spoiler]Ncuti Gatwa is regenerating this season and the next Doctor is a woman.[/spoiler]
Doctor Who hasn't been cancelled but has been put on pause.
next Doctor is a woman
There is no next Doctor. They haven't shot footage for it and the finale is weeks away.
RTD is making the cancellation part of the show lol.
You'll see.
Yeah. I'll see the cancellation announcement. Your source is Bad Wolf and they're full of shit.
Nope.
Disney is bailing and taking the sets with them.
who is getting shuttered because of zesty black man
I don't even like Ncutiwho very much but jesus that's going to be a PR / culture war foreverfire. I'll be hearing about that for at least another decade. Hate that a lot and it's not even happened yet.
anyway have belinda chandra in my bedroom in your next AI slop post anon thanks.
Tabloids have their finger on the pulse when it comes to leaking DW.
Anon you say this as if I'd give a shit if it's true or not. The truth is nothing cam save Doctor Who if RTD is still the showrunner.
The Mirror article is just regurgitating what we've known for months. Their source is just guessing that they'll get picked up. As it is, Disney is bailing and taking the Volume, sets, and cameras with them. BBC is facing major financing hurdles.
It won't be officially cancelled but it'll go away for a long, long time. They'd have to rebuild the production pipeline from scratch.
Ncuti isn't the reason.
that's irrelevant to those types.
Ncuti brought us the lowest ratings this franchise has ever seen.
Gay protags don't work.
told you
Even if the show continues, what kind of ratings do they expect? How till we see start seeing numbers below one million? This time, Disney's marketing won't be there to save it.
They don’t care about the ratings. The BBC is funded by the licence fee and run like an old boys club. The pressure to produce quality television isn’t the same.
find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk
tl;dr: turning a hefty profit. Plenty of funding besides Disney. Doctor Who is a cash cow.
No more money left in the piggy bank for gay commie shows.
The Volume going away would do very little, as they only used it for Boom in Season 1. Disney also only got the streaming rights from their deal. If they loaned out any cameras, they'd be getting them back (but they were probably just using Bad Wolf Productions' own cameras) but they wouldn't be taking any sets back.
Picking another woman for the lead will be suicide
The reality is a late 20's to 30's male white lead is when the show does best regardless of the script quality
nobody will watch a woman especially a poc woman
I'm telling you watch the ratings go up if the show is revived and a 30's white man is back in the role
Look, it's all damage control. Ncuti bailed somewhat recently. Even if BBC wants to continue the show, it will effectively be another reboot and ~5 years away.
I mean Pyramids of Mars is at least a well regarded and remembered story, but yes.
If the BBC wants to continue the show it'd be 2028 at the latest, but probably 2027.
This source also says there was a "festive special" in 2022 and 2023 when we know there wasn't
It's bollocks
You can pretend it's not true, but it is. The last two Doctors have completely failed to resonate with the majority of the audience.
And yes, it's the casting, not the writing.
This source
"Whether or not Disney stays, the expectation is that the show will continue."
They're basically just hoping that they'll go to keep working.
male white lead is when the show does best
It won't help if he's a faggot and the writing is done by faggots.
turning a hefty profit
No shit. Disney is paying for your commie slop. But not for much longer.
can't imagine the kind of sados that would buy this book
Pyramids of Mars is at least a well regarded and remembered story
By fans of Old Who. Not fans of New Who.
Am I supposed to know who that guy is?
Special episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed celebrating 20 years of revival announced
Joining Steffan for the ride are some of the show’s most recognisable faces, including past Doctors, ex-companions and former showrunners
As season two comes to a climax, a special edition of Doctor Who: Unleashed is set to air on BBC Three, BBC iPlayer and BBC Wales.
Steffan Powell is once again set to take a trip through the time vortex as he invites viewers on a journey celebrating the last twenty years since Doctor Who returned, and he will be joined by a host of cast and creatives that have played a part in bringing the show back into the Whoniverse.
Joining Steffan for the ride are some of the show’s most recognisable faces, including past Doctors David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker, former companions Billie Piper, Pearl Mackie, and Mandip Gill, ex-showrunners Steven Moffat and Chris Chibnall, the current Doctor Ncuti Gatwa alongside his newest companion Varada Sethu, as well as the current showrunner and the man who brought the show back in 2005, Russell T Davies.
bbc.co.uk
They might as well just confirm billie piper now
Show to commemorate the man who revived Doctor Who
Airing after he killed it.
Pottery.
Pearl Mackie.
I like Bill, but it's really telling despite everyone that worked in Moffat's era. Pearl's the only one coming back.
Also feel like they should've thrown Jemma Redgrave a bone given she's been in the show for over a decade now
David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker,
Ah yes, the only two Doctors.
Because Smith and Gillan are working in America now?
I was gonna say that outside of Arthur Darvill, most of the actors from Moffat's era are probably too expensive for a anniversary special
Should've asked James Corden.
I wouldn't be surprised if Gomez shows up.
Smith is openly desperate to come back
Is he not on House of the Dragon anymore?
House of the Dragon had one successful season and then like all of Smith's projects became a dumpster fire.
Still amuses me that Karen Gillan is probably the most successful Nu-Who actor
Matt is more successful.
andrew garfield was spiderman
stars in a D tier Marvel property no one cared about, and a Jumanji sequel
somehow both of these movies are really successful
cray
Sack RTD
Have a new show runner who replicates the JNT episode
12 episodes in the season
3 Historicals: 1 British, 1 American, and 1 that's filmed on location
Don't have the Doctor romantically interested in anyone with his companions
New 8th or 9th regeneration. Say time wars never happened yet in this timeline in case retards really want it back.
Remember he's an alien first and foremost. Have them act like 3rd/4th/7th/House
Find an Aussie or an Irish person willing to do this shit because when they scream, it'll feel threatening
No season long arc. No mystery boxes. If you 'need' one, have it be about the Doctor trying to figure out who's manipulating Earth's history and 'present' for the companion(s)
There. I saved Doctor Who
They should have the Doctor show up with a scrambled memory and say "last thing I remember, I think I was Scottish..." and leave it at that.
Im stealing this idea because it's genius. It'a vague enough to make people think it's one of several different regenerations. And him not knowing how many regenerations he has left makes the show have actual stakes.
Don't have the Doctor romantically interested in anyone with his companions
Gay
Where's the Doctor Who season for us xenophiles?
If I wanted to sleep with Indians, or chav girls, I'd go into town. I want some monsters to ogle. When are you committing to making this show for the dads Russel?
So we're starting post-Waters of Mars?
Why did RTD have to tease us like this?
The retarded argument they usually make is "It's too expensive"
It would be a bit harder to explain the alien in historicals or on modern earth unless they offered a piece of technology that would let em disguise themselves as human.
The appeal of the Rani was that it would be a female Time Lord antagonist, nobody actually remembers who the Rani is or anything she actually did.
The appeal of Omega was that he was an insane Time Lord, not a god. Having him fall into the antimatter universe could have been neat, but him becoming a hand with an eye on it is just going to piss people off.
Also, confirms the leaks:
Doctor 'dies'
Visions of Susan telling him about a tree they planted on gallifrey
Doctor brought back by the fans from Lux
'Onwards' being the final word (As in the show continues onwards)
Show is over though and it dies in distorted fanwank of the Rani and Omega and the TV Show theory.
for me it's tomato girl
My idea is older male doctor, older female companion, teenage-equivalent alien who takes DNA from both of them to concoct a human disguise and is hence usually mistaken for their daughter.
Based Power of Three and Based Eccleston saying no to this shit.
It's like all the other alumni of Doctor Who know something gross about RTD that we don't
NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST AIR SOMETHING ABOUT A TV WRITER WHO DRUGS AND RAPES OTHER MEN
Why? No particular reason...
im mister ring a ding
Doctor Who's geekshit for losers.
your mums a slutbucket for men
:(
4 hour video about Capaldi's era
the guy's voice immediately annoys me
shame
