    Crazy that he was back in it, given that walked away way back in '05-'10 to pursue a Hollywood career. Shame, too, because “The End of Time” was a solid capstone to a rebirth of the franchise. His return (along with the return of Tenant and Piper) just felt like he was running the Greatest Hits. Nice to see Ncuti Gatwa get a hand on the batton, but distressing to see he had the fewest episodes outside Eccleston.

    Just feels like the BBC is giving up on the show like it’s given up on so much else.

      I presume you mean of the revived series?

      It’s the 80’s all over again. The show might get cancelled again because of shitty executive decision (-_-)

    The other post just says no Christmas special. This article reaffirms this, plus stated RTD is out.

    Time to back a truck of money up to David Tenant’s house and retcon the ending of his last special.
