So I wonder if the whole TARDIS crew will return or maybe just Graham and Yaz? I did feel like they were signposting a departure for Ryan in Series 12, what with him regretting being away from Earth for so long, his growing concerns about the environment and also him coming to blows with the Doctor a little bit. Whereas Yaz seems to have been pushed to the forefront more and Graham was pretty much the same. I like Ryan and Graham but I was kinda hoping for Yaz and the Doctor alone. Not that they have to be I'm every episode if they do return...

Tally time!
-8 episodes long. (thank you guys for the update) -Broadcasting in late 2021-possibly early 2022 (date TBC). -Ed Hime and Maxine Alderton returning as writers. -Jaime Magnus Stone returns as director. -One of the new writers will be coming via a Skillset bursary scheme for new talent. -Filming began in November, with safety measures and a longer schedule. -Chibnall has described S13 as 'ambitious' and building on threads from S12. -Dhawan has not yet been contacted to return as the Master. -There will be an episode featuring nursing pioneer Mary Seacole.
-RUMOUR: Ryan may be leaving (Toisin having been cast in a US drama). -RUMOUR: Graham may be leaving. -RUMOUR: Jo Martin may return. -RUMOUR: There may be a Xmas/New Year's special to plug the gap if 2021 is not viable.

Huh... Strange they're doing an episode with Mary Seacole when BF released a story only earlier this year with her in it. You'd think they would have vetoed that plot when they ran it past the BBC. I can only assume that they hadn't planned that episode out when BF ran it past them for approval. (Actually, it looks like the BF story was written back in 2019 so... yeah.) This and Mary Shelley makes me wish that BF would avoid celebrity historicals from now on... I understand what you mean, but I'm glad Big Finish has a certain freedom to tell stories as they please without being seen as treading on the toes of the television show. I'm quite happy for Mary Shelley, to use her as an example, to pop up in both mediums in unrelated stories. I don't think one should negate the other.

Allegedly it’s been confirmed that S13 is only going to be eight episodes...

What’s the source for the Chibnall quotes?

I'm sure the hashtag notmydoctor brigade will make something else out of this but at least we are getting new Who relatively on schedule all things considered.

Makes sense. Just as long as they don’t make 8 episodes the norm from now on.

It went from 13 episodes a series to 12 for Capaldi's reign, and now it's down to 10 from S11. And especially since most BBC drama shows are 6-8 episodes long nowadays, so I could see them cutting DW down.

I mean... we're already three episodes down from RTD and Moffat, and the production team had a longer-than-usual gap between S11 and 12 and it didn't have an effect on the quality because S12 was still very mixed IMO.

OK, tbh there's no evidence that this would happen so it seems a bit odd to be concerned about it...

So if they were planning 11 and are now doing 8 then it'll be only seven for the series plus the 2021 Christmas-ish special.

Well tbh I just gave you recent examples of them cutting the episode count for the series in the past so acting like it's out of the realms of possibility for them to do so again is silly. I wouldn't be surprised if the BBC cut the count and use the pandemic as an excuse but then never bother to bump it back up to 10 episodes once this is all over.

I suppose the one upside is that they could still make a late 2021 transmission date now rather than being delayed until 2022.
