The style reminds me of something, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what that is. Maybe it's Paul Johnson's attempt at doing an anime version of the show with the Third Doctor. Could be; the artist said this about the style: PS: I had forgotten about that anime thingy... It was... interesting to see, to say the least The bit that always gets me is the camera focussing in on the Brigadier and a missile launcher. It's still got to be one of my favourite fanvids for novelty.

Could also be ADR. But the way they're teasing, I guess it's got to be something else. Hopefully Big Finish, but I wouldn't say no to animation. I remember back in 2013 there was a proposed animated series by Dan Norton (ThunderCats remake). I wish that would've been made. I'm not sure the BBC would want two TV Doctors, even if one was animated. Maybe they need something to fill the gtap between Christmas and Series 11? New showrunner, new way of keeping the brand in the spotlight between seasons

I'm not sure the BBC would want two TV Doctors, even if one was animated. That's exactly what happened. The BBC wanted to focus its efforts on the TV series. But I think it would've been great as a webcast; little 20min/half hour adventures with the classic Doctors, released each week (or whatever) between TNotD and TDotD. Alas, it never happened. But I liked the concept. Still, I think it would be a great way to promote the Christmas special, by releasing a few 5min or so episodes (6? Thus creating a half hour serial) in their usual advent calendar, although I'm not holding out any hope. I think in an anniversary year there would be a stronger argument for it, but the start of a new era? I'm not so sure. I think if the rumoured animated spinoff happens it'll feature new series recurring characters like the Paternoster Gang, UNIT, Clara and Me or Bill and Heather.

This is not coloured, but here's some rough concept art of the first ten Doctors. The style reminds me of something, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what that is. Maybe it's Paul Johnson's attempt at doing an anime version of the show with the Third Doctor. Oh this is my favourite piece of Doctor Who animation EVER. Really takes familiar elements and does something new with them.

Yeah, this project is from that 2012-2013 period. That's why I don't think it could be revived now, Chibnall doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd greenlight something like this, specially, as you say, at the start of his era. Are there any actual rumours of an animated spinoff?

Where are these rumours of an animated spinoff? This is all news to me. And tbh I can't see why Chibnall would greenlight a spin-off based on characters created by the previous showrunner, it's not really the new start a new era of the show should have.

One could say The Bradley First Doctor is the new War Doctor!?
Although you can count An Adventure in Space & Time which adds a whole new spin on things - if you think about it Bradley has already played a whirlwind zoom through The First Doctor series - scenes from or taking place during the filming of An Unearthly Child, The Daleks, The Edge of Destruction, Marco Polo, The Reign of Terror, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, The Web Planet, Daleks Masterplan (DVD extra) and The Massacre to The Tenth Planet.
It's great that in addition to all of these we're about to get him in a brand new adventure, and I would support the idea of him joining Big Finish in some proper full cast adventures. Question is would he take over The Early Adventures or be part of a new 'THE FIRST DOCTOR ADVENTURES' range? Waht about his companions.
Of late Big Finish have really loosened the leash on recasting.

Something in the style of the new Star Wars: Forces of Change series is the only animated spin off I would accept. Little bite size moments no more than five minutes in the Doctor's lives. One and Susan exploring Akhaten, Eight and Charley enjoying an alien beach, Five and Nyssa having a chat over tea, Ten and Donna sassing each other, and so on. No big adventures or mindbending arcs, just the little moments between adventures we really don't get to see.

Apparently somebody in the know on Gallifrey Base said the BBC want a new spinoff and it's likely to be animated. Technically a UNIT spinoff would feature a character first created in the new series by Chibnall (Kate Lethbridge-Stewart), even if she was based on the character by the same name from Downtime.

I guess he'd take over the First Doctor Early Adventures. I can't imagine they'd want three ranges covering the First Doctor - Early Adventures, Companion Chronicles box sets and The First Doctor Adventures.

I think just use him to replace the current cast who take on his role. I haven't listened to any of the First Doctor stuff but would if Bradley was in the role.

I'll probably buy an Early Adventures audio eventually, but a box set of Warly Adventures with David Bradley would definitely be an instant pre-order for me.

I'm wondering if perhaps there are some planned pre Unearthly Child full-cast stories for the First Doctor as played by David Bradley? Whilst, if I'm honest, I would love him to play 'Old Firstie' in his television timestream and alongside regular companions, I can't help but think that Big Finish would want something a bit special had they secured the very busy David Bradley for some audios. My only problem with that - and clearly, I'm speculating upon speculation - is that pre-TV stories would likely be set on Gallifrey, which I think is deeply limiting. Maybe some stories with Susan set after he left Gallifrey, but before An Unearthly Child? Yep, that's my list of preferences - I can dream, can't I?

I'd imagine he's a reasonably big fan of being employed more than anything. He's a working actor, getting 3 big prime time parts I'm sure is more of a consideration than his own likes or dislikes. Not saying he's not a fan - I have no idea - but there are plenty of actors who've been companions (and even Doctors) who don't care terribly much for the show. And fair enough - it's a job for them. He seems a very nice man from interviews and what I've heard second-hand from people. I doubt he'd do three Doctor Who-related roles if he didn't like it. I gotta ask DB, do you work and pay your bills or does someone else? Cause most of the world, including those doing doctor who, have bills to pay, and they don't like working for free. I'm certain, no one ever playing the doctor on tv or at bf ever worked for free.

I'm currently unemployed because Scarborough is a terrible place for employment. Where did I ever suggest David Bradley probably works for free? I'm just saying that three Who-related roles suggests he must have at least a passing interest in Doctor Who.

Actually, I was thinking about 'what if there was an animated sixth Doctor' recently. I had this idea that animation could make something of the patchwork quilt. Like, maybe he presses a button and all the colours become iridescent (perhaps to confuse foes, or just because it was cool). Or alternatively, if it was too much trouble, it could be like the checked suits game show hosts and the like used to wear in Looney Tunes cartoons, where the characters move around but the checks stay way they are!
