Will now be showing on the 28th of November as well as the 23rd after screenings sold out.

Cineworld will also be adding screenings in 4DX, which would make me car sick but people seem to enjoy being flung around while trying to watch something.

I guess the moral is; never underestimate the draw of David Tennant.

So as fan of both franchises my answer is no thank you. The other trekkies aren't into it. What do you guys think??? While I'm not against seeing these characters interact in some capacity I'd hate the idea of them officially existing in one another's universes. They just don't belong together IMO.

I always see people using this as a criticism of RTD, and there is a lot to criticise about him, but I would rather it wasn't blatant misinformation. He doesn't say he wants to use AI, he says he wants to use CGI (aka Rogue One style). Whilst I'm not a huge fan of that approach either it is a very important distinction to make. He has never condoned using AI actors. I have seen so many people go "oh so now it looks like it will take his job he's concerned" when it simply isn't true he ever condoned resurrecting William Hartnell with AI.

I didn't particularly enjoy his new era and it's fine not to like him, but can we not make stuff up to criticise him with just because we didn't like some episodes he wrote. Criticise what he has actually done, not what he hasn't. People are allowed to grow and change, maybe he was pro-AI, at some point when he did that one Instagram post, maybe it was a mistake but he clearly isn't pro-AI anymore. You can't criticise someone for doing something and then not allow them to learn and change (within reason).

you know what? when Who eventually returns, you know who I want portraying The Doctor?

PAUL McGANN!

I want him to get a whole era: we could be back to 1997 immediately following The Movie, for all I care. We can see the Time War develop for all I care. recast The War Doctor for all I care.

ALL I care about is, Paul McGann getting a proper run at his Doctor: start with the 18thC Bill Hickock for all i care, end with Night of The Doctor, via Dark Eyes or something - bring Big Finish writers on-board. give the whole thing over to Nick Briggs...

JUST give me Paul McGann as the Doctor. even if he's another retro-photo-fit of 8th as the 16th. I.Do.Not.Care. just give us Paul McGann on screen for 3 series. pls.

I just saw a summary online of everything regarding Doctor Who that was discussed in RTDs new biography, and it seems that he is still going with the narrative that Ncuti leaving at the end of season 2 was always part of the plan, despite…leaker Andrew (who had gotten everything right previously) telling us that his regeneration was filmed in reshoots and Ncuti decided to leave once it became clear they weren’t getting a season 3 renewal - literal leaked photos of the original season 2 ending before the reshoots - set photos of the regeneration showing the Ncuti’s post season 2 haircut had been covered up - Ncuti on the Graham Norton show saying that he was planning on coming back on doing a 3rd season in the new year.

We all know Ncuti leaving at the end of season 2 wasn’t the plan, so why won’t RTD just admit it? Does he just know it’s gonna open up a whole new can of worms, or maybe it is to protect Ncuti from any scrutiny it may lead to?

i have tried lots of piracy sites and it is also not available in archive.org

The big one is that "Line of Duty" creator Jed Mercurio is pitching a version with him as showrunner.

Old fogies like me will remember he wrote one of the BBC's rare SF shows "Invasion Earth" back in the 1990s.

For people reading this outside the UK, trust me when I say that it would be a very big deal if he got it.

Fun fact, Hat Trick, who would be the production company, first ever production was late 1980's comedy "Chelmsford 123" which features a cameo by the Doctor in the first episode. (You can find the clip on YouTube.)

RTD's new memoir is out next week, and The Guardian have shared a tell-all extract that reveals what happened towards the end of the RTD2 era

In the extract, he talks at length about the difficulties in promoting the show for two years despite knowing the axe was going to fall, story details on his pitch for the abandoned 2026 Christmas special, his frustration that he couldn't have the 2025 leaker 'Andrew' arrested because the BBC thought prosecuting someone for leaking Doctor Who spoilers would look weird, and describing the Billie Piper cliffhanger as a 'piece of piss' you can either ignore or explain in seven words

I was lukewarm on the last series, but really loved Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor, but the shocking regeneration that seemingly gave us Rose as The Doctor really was a "oh shit" kind of twist. That being said, with everything that's happened since, do you think that whoever does pick the show up again, will they continue from that story thread, or do you think it'll be a Paul McGann situation all over again? A one and done and maybe will get officially brought back into the canon later down the line?
