War Games is the one example of a long story that doesn't drag; no idea why that is (all the different settings? The fact it's a regeneration?) but it doesn't seem nearly as long as a Pertwee 7-parter or even Genesis of the Daleks.

Would you rather have Chris Chibnall or Gareth Roberts as showrunner?

I prefer Gatiss I guess. I like some of his episodes and Invaders from Mars was surprisingly good.
>>
>>67326747
Chibnall, the Roberts era would just be endless retreads of Graham Williams stories
>>
Has anyone here read Roberts' books (e.g. The Highest Science, The English Way of Death etc.) or just generally consumed his stuff outside of NuWho.

I know he wrote Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? which is GOAT stuff.
>>
>>67326747
Gareth. Hands down.
Gareth is an incredibly witty, intelligent and sharp writer. That's Gareth.
He would no doubt intricately weave a political subtext into his stories, unlike the hack Peter Harness, who likes to be explicit - Bad writing.

The best Sci-Fi writers are subtle with the political undertones. And Gareth is - He's witty, intelligent and sharp.

That's Gareth.

well I'm thinkin' that the doctor alsways does the heroic thing instead of the pragmatic, I'm thinking of the 8th doctor audios here.

so what if the 12th doctor decided to do the same, put all of time and space in danger for one person, except it goes wrong and the Time lords have to fix it. perhaps they punish 12 and it leads into the 13th doctor being grounded or something.

Yes. It's it would be an obvious Moffat casting choice.
>>
>>67342531
no
>>
>>67342531
>It's it would be an obvious Moffat casting choice.
i think Moffat more than any other producer in the shows history is extremely obsessed with his legacy, and impact upon the show. During his reign weve had time lord gender/race change, the youngest doctor, the oldest doctor a female master, The doctor given a new regeneration cycle... I think if he had his way he would love to cast the first woman doctor, but as Chibs has dibs on the next Doc I can imagine Moffat will settle with casting the first muslim companion instead.
>>
>>67342788

EXCLUSIVE:

S10's episodic structure will be similar to Series 7's "Movie of the Week" theme.
However, instead of taking a cinematic approach, each episode will be genre based.
For example, episode 3 is an Indiana Jones style story set in Ancient Egypt featuring Sutekh, as well as a Sea Devil story set in 1930's New York featuring the Mafia, where Sea Devils reside in Central Park.

I don't want a series that just lazily tries to 'do' a bunch of clichéd settings and genres just because we recognise them. Having unique story ideas should come first.
Fuck me, if all one can think of for a Sutekh story in Egypt is 'Indiana Jones style' then just give up now

What the fuck is that picture? I don't remember any loudspeakers on poles in The War Games. And why is it in space? Why are the Time Lords there but not the story's main villains? The Time Lords are the big reveal at the end, you wouldn't put them on a poster. And the glitter TARDIS is just distracting and serves no purpose except to remind us this is Doctor Who I guess.

The War Games is great though. The longest story that isn't too long. What a great story to have as a milestone of the series.

Who the fuck does that? Does he think he's important?

An episode is only canon if a later episode references it. If an episode is never referenced again, there is no proof that it is canon.
The two-way canoning clause states that if a new episode references a past episode, the new episode is canon by default. If it does not reference a previous episode, it is not canon until a future episode references it.
Canonocity is determined on a serial by serial basis. The second part of a two parter referencing the first part therefore does not make them canon.

I guess she doesn't have a hangup about her asymmetrical eyes with that mirror selfie

I'm up to her episodes on a rewatch and boy do they give her a lot of mirrored shots even starting with Asylum. They must like the odd way it looks

Looks like you're right:


245. THE GOSSIP LIFE 03/21
There’s much speculation about who will join the cast of this long-running hit show. Much of the loyal fandom have been campaigning for their favourites and pleading for producers to consider their choices, but we here at The Gossip Life have learned that the spot has already been filled and it’s going to be controversial considering the criticism aimed at the company that airs the show. We hinted at the identity of the radio actress who made the false sexual assault claim, but unfortunately we can’t do the same this time. All we can tell you is to expect controversy and it should be revealed soon-ish, so stay tuned and grab some multicoloured, diverse popcorn for the backlash. "Doctor Who"

Mickey wasn't a physical abuser. unless you count Plastic Mickey

So what, she's not white? I could have fucking told you that last year

But Chris Brown was the asshole. Not Rhianna.
It'd be the opposite of Rose and Mickey.

I'm assuming that's an unrelated story.

They're talking about another blind item there
>>
>>67354217
Why bring it up if she's not the new companion? She was also in Sarah Jane Adventures
>>
>>67354263
>Why bring it up if she's not the new companion?
Because it's in the same magazine?
>>
>>67354263
Because they're saying that unlike the other blind item to do with her they can't reveal who the Doctor Who companion is
>We hinted at the identity of the radio actress who made the false sexual assault claim, but unfortunately we can’t do the same this time
>>
There's 0 chance of them going for an older companion anyway, not with Peter. They need to appeal to da youf somehow. Although I'll happily be proven wrong.
>>
It's Rakhee Thakrar
>>
>>67354304
The statistics I saw on GB showed that young people were still watching though. It was the old people who left.
>>
>>67354333
I'm saying it might be different if the show literally becomes about two old people.
>>
>>67354305
Nah. Too obvious imo. She wouldn't follow all those people if she was the new companion. More likely she just wants to be and helped spark the speculation,
>>
>>67354300
But they didn't reveal the other woman, either. The clue is in the name: "blind item". They don't just name drop people.

These things have to be written in a way that removes potential for legal action. The reason they mentioned the radio personality is because it's the same person.

E.g: "these two things are totally unrelated by the way *wink wink nudge nudge*"
>>
aren't all those blind item websites bullshit?
i can't remember anything from them ever becoming true

>>67354446
Pretty much every one of them has hits and misses. Sometimes right, sometimes wrong

>>
>>67354405
I know they don't use literal names m8. By 'hinting' about the radio personality in the other post they essentially revealed it. They are contrasting that in this post about Doctor Who by saying they aren't giving any hints at it because they can't reveal who the actor playing the companion will be.
>>
It's Andi Osho. Character's a black lesbian, that's why its going to be "controversial".
>>
>>67354373
>Nah. Too obvious
That's what they said about Missy = Mistress = Master
>>
>>67354652
Completely different situations m8.
>>
>>67354584
Honestly I wonder what is even supposed to be controversial about a lesbian on Doctor Who at this point, we've had lesbian recurring characters since 2011 and even Clara hinted about snogging girls.
You know what would really be pushing the boat out? Transgender companion
>>
>>67354538
So why would they hint at their race, then?

And what do you make of the whole "this is going to cause controversy based on the BBC paedo scandal" thing?

Who else is diverse race and liable to cause controversy based on the BBC paedo scandal?

The woman above fits perfectly. She's made a false rape accusation, she's diverse, and she's been on Sarah Jane Adventures. She will be a one-series companion like Donna, before the new Doctor comes in
>>
>>67354731
Hold your horses mate nothing is confirmed is a random blind item.
>>
>>67354584
>it’s going to be controversial considering the criticism aimed at the company that airs the show

The BBC aren't criticised for a lack of diversity. It has nothing to do with diversity.
>>
>>67354731
>So why would they hint at their race, then?
Er, that's not the same thing as giving away who it is. There are loads of non-white actors.

Where the hell does the BBC paedo scandal come into this? Did you forget your meds?

Missy would make a great companion, I agree.
>>
>>67354731
>So why would they hint at their race, then?
Because it will be an asian and BBC have been criticised for pushing forced diversity

Nothing to do with the other stuff
>>
>>67354843
>BBC have been criticised for pushing forced diversity

Maybe on /pol/, but not in the mainstream normie world. If anything, like everyone else these days, they're criticised for not being diverse enough
>>
>>67354798
Did you really hear nothing about Jimmy Saville, Cliff Richard, etc? (Even though based Cliff isn't a paedo)
>>
>>67354810
She was a shit Master, though. I mean, great solo character, but she's not really the Master. More like a sexualised Joker. They even changed her fucking name to Missy.
>>
>>67355154
She's closer to The Master than Simm was.
>>
>>67355203
low bar

>>67353483
That's bullshit but it'd be hilarious if true. We finally get Rani as a companion, but its the older version.

>>
>>67355290
Ok. How is she not like The Master though? I thought "I need you to know we're not so different. I need my friend back" and stuff in TWF was pretty Masterish. She doesn't seem anymore campy than Ainley imo.
>>
>>67355154
Missy is like the Master got old, crazy and perverted. Simm is a bit like if he reverted to an edgy teenager.

It's a comic, you can cut the fart jokes and you can draw them differently. Honestly the look is hardly the problem, they just look really naff when they're running about in CGI or stumbling in their bodysuits.

But they have weird baby faces. They actually looked scarier during the CGI scenes.

There can be multiple races used. That said, I wish someone remembered that Sletheens are a criminal faction on Raxicoricofalapatorious and made a story about Raxicoricofalapatorian police hunting them on Earth or something like this.

Is it weird that I think the Cliffhanger of Aliens Of London is hilarious? I rewatched the episode recently and I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath.
