Interesting rumours I just saw on a youtube channel.. Grain of salt time equally with everything else been discussed the last 2 weeks: RTD is supposedly doing a "Kevin Feige" and setting up a "multiverse" of all shows Who related.. "Rose" (Billie Piper) will be coming back for her own tv spin off show based on a novel RTD released back in the day. (Not sure what book this is). A spin off of Torchwood as well featuring Mr John Barrowman MBE returning. An animated series (?) with Mr McCoy and Mr McGann tentatively signed up? A show with K-9 and Ace solving mysteries supernatural related. So 5 grains of salt. We shall see come next year around the 60th for any announcements. Don't shoot the messenger. Well, I think we can rule out all but the first and maybe, maybe the fifth. Can't see them happening realistically: 3's a PR nightmare waiting to happen.

I’m pretty skeptical of the animated show rumor since that’s been a rumor ever since the fiftieth. It’s not an out of this world possibility I guess given how other franchises are being handled these days, but still… I would actually love the last idea though. Give me another show of the same quality and tone of the Sarah Jane Adventures and I’ll be very happy.

Don't shoot the messenger. 1) I doubt Billie Piper would really want to return to the role of Rose outside perhaps Big Finish. The only book I could think that RTD wrote back in the day is Damaged Goods 2) Torchwood revival/ reboot hmm a possibility though I think John Barrowman is still blacklisted by the BBC so I doubt he will be back 3) animated series for McCoy and McGann extremely unlikely sadly, McCoy is relatively known in the public eye as the doctor but McGann only had one TV movie and is practically forgotten in the public eye as the doctor so it would be a hard sell to have animations made with his Doctor Tom baker however I can see having animations 4) an Ace/K9 spin off could work actually as a spiritual successor to Sarah Jane adventures and ace is being reintroduced in October might be a real possibility

Another rumour is that everything filmed with Tennant is actually for the 2022 Christmas special which leads into the 2023 special so David might be the doctor in two specials

In general a multiverse with different shows is inevitable & RTD tried it before with Sarah Jane & Torchwood but who is paying for all this? If it happens will it impact on Big Finish?

By having our leads more active online, as well as bringing over their respective fanbases (who would've seen SexEd fans becoming our reinforcements?), it may be the first push to take the attention away from reactionaries and back onto the show in ways that, without directly attacking, do pop the bubble of grifters. Look at right-wing blowhard Darren Grimes having to pull anti-woke/diversity tweets about Gatwa due to the fandom's passion - you never saw anything like that when nasty things were said about Jodie's casting after Wimbledon. So I wanted to touch on this again, as I had something more to say: I think a major problem with Chibnall's era (viewed through this particular lens, to be clear) was its poor use of the online component and not engaging with that younger more progressive audience who were more likely to embrace a female casting over older, more traditional fans. You can pin some of it on the secrecy, but I'd say it was also the BBC's slow response to dealing with rumours/misinformation (how long did it take them to deal with 'chaos in Cardiff', like a week or more? Look how fast, by comparison, RTD shut down 'Gatwa is a diversity hire'), as well as what seemed like a lot of trying to sell 13 to the older crowd (even while the show itself seemed to skew younger). Look at the guest stars and 'name' companions - Bishop, Walsh, Cumming, McNally, Lenny Henry. Popular, iconic even, but not really super 'hip' names like Gatwa or Finney were, and not really people with hugely online audiences or interactions (Bishop certainly has some, but it's not the same thing compared to Gatwa's audience). To be clear, I'm not at all saying 'cast based on instagram' - I'm saying that a lot of the internet nastiness that's been a running feature of the last few years was harder to combat because of a confused approach that meant the show didn't appeal to the audience that would've been more onboard with this take than the hodge-podge of different groups it has been, and in turn, created an environment where bad faith actors could stoke division and not get meaningful pushback. Look say at Netflix She-Ra as a counter-example of a connected audience that was basically able to weaken reactionary attacks on the show after the whole 'she has no boobs' nonsense happened - because the show's audience and its makers were more in tune. Like it or not, this is the social media age - whoever controls the narrative around a franchise wins the day.

They really need to issue an official denial of the Toby Stephens rumour PDQ. If it's not true, then it's just baiting a certain portion of the audience/fandom; if it's true, then some people in the production process have behaved poorly. I suppose, conceivably, it might be a misunderstanding.

Especially from RTD2! It feels like a safe choice from a very different type of showrunner not someone who has already had a go & is coming back.

So far, doesn't look like it's picked up any kind of steam, so possibly could be just ignored by the team. (I don't take any sort of stock in this. Aside from Stephens being the last actor who could remotely need Who from a career angle, I don't, at all, buy the BBC themselves choosing Gatwa over him. There is no planet I see the current management of the company, one that has been either indifferent or deferential to more right-leaning forces that would favour a conventionally masculine white Doctor, saying that.)
Either dc is lying (because hes' another Youtube grifter looking for clicks) or he was fed fake intel (ala the Last Jedi remake nonsense).

I'm not sure what to think about the other elements of the rumor such as the animated series and the return of Captain Jack, but the Ace/K-9 series idea certainly has a RTD vibe to it. I would 100% watch it if it did get made as I'm always interested in how various companions continue their lives after their time with the Doctor and Ace and K-9 are both fun characters that might recapture the Sarah Jane Adventures audience.

As much as I'm not a fan of the idea, I hope it's a degeneration to Ten rather than a whole new distinct incarnation. Three different Tennant incarnations seems a bit much...
Anyone else think that Ncuti is going to have some sort of involvement in the 60th (at least outside of a regeneration)? If Fourteen isn't involved in some way it's a bit weird to be casting him so far in advance, or announcing him if he's not going to be filming for ages...

A genuine multi-doc episode seems better than a degeneration. If nothing more than it's frankly a slap in the face to Jodie. Seeing 13 and 10 together is better than wiping 13 out with a degeneration.

Okay, a whole day and nope, the Stephens nonsense doesn't seem to have caught on at all. Well, least that's that.
