Doctor Who is coming to CBeebies!

>The BBC is set to expand the Whoniverse as it launches plans for a brand new pre-school animation series which will see the Doctor’s adventures come to CBeebies for the first time ever.

>The BBC is looking for a passionate production company to create and produce the series, which will run independently from the main show, that will see the Doctor travelling through time and space for the pre-school audience, solving mysteries and problems alongside their companions and other friends.

RTD is doing this purely out of spite because of those at the BBC who say Doctor Who should be targeted to an older teenager audience
He really is a vile person, he needs anger management and therapy
This is not healthy, Russell!

We'll still get a formal physical version of the Other

>>211374800 (OP)
Here's the showrunner btw

>>211374800 (OP)
Which incarnation would be the best fit for a CBeebies cartoon?

https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Planet_Bedtime_Stories

>>211374898
You know it's going to be David Tennant

>>211374800 (OP)
Show started to go down hill after the network made Jon pertwee star in ‘Doctor Who:The Detective’ been trash ever since

>>211374800 (OP)
Dugga Doo

>>211374500
The BBC is still keen to have Ace and Frobisher involved in the cartoon, but is open to other ideas and will be including the Doctor more than initially planned to introduce a greater variety of subjects. It is a simple educational show for preschoolers, probably involving songs too.

The original concept was them trying out various sports to beat villains like the Sontarans and the Slitheen in a sporting cup, with Ace being the player and Frobisher as talking sports equipment. I read the pitch and it seemed fun for kids. The new company taking on production on behalf of the BBC and Disney will be welcome to use that or a variation of it or submit their own.

Oh, and you might have guessed from the air date of 2027, Piper is contracted as the Doctor for a three year period (minimum).

There will be 2 series 26 episode long each and each episode will last just under 5 minutes.

>>211374982
>Commission 52 episodes of a Doctor Who animation for kids, staring Billie Piper as the Doctor
>Reveal in the main show that Billie isn't the proper Doctor
This does seem like a very RTD2 thing to do

>>211374860
Yeah, the Doctor.

A fucking waste of those two.

>>211375238

Wtf did the Cbeebies poster meme this into reality?

>>211374898
Jodie felt like a CBeebies presenter, so maybe her?

>>211375259
>A fucking waste of those two.

Not so much when you realise this means that the BBC will have to introduce Frobisher to TV audiences in the main show.

>>211375061
Could work
I've proposed Charles Dance and Sean Pertwee before as potential picks
They should really play around with the idea that a Timelord's mind deteriorating from old age can potentially cause "multigeneration" (splitting into numerous different entities) upon attempting regeneration, even if said decline is comparatively much slower than a human's

>>211374118
Only works if you make the Master a deepfake of Christopher Lee

Ironic how?

using a time machine to save a show about a time machine

All at the same time. We are dealing with a madman.

>>211375486
Why are all Doctor Who video games so rubbish? All of time and space to play with and they are so meh.

>>211375904
RTD answered this previously. Other games let you shoot and fight enemies but they don't want the Doctor killing anyone. The Last Dalek was the best game they ever did.

>>211375936
>but they don't want the Doctor killing anyone
Then have the player character be Leela or Ace.

>>211376059
Dreadful.

>>211376059
>cuts off before Whittaker appears
based

>>211374800 (OP)
Good to see RTD is finally writing Who for a more mature audience.

>>211376099
Cbeebies is for children, so less mature overall.

>>211374898
Make it Tom Baker's last role

>>211375936
It's a matter of imagination, look at Outer Wilds. Very intriguing time-related game with no shooting. I'm sure there must be someone who could come up with something interesting that isn't a Doom clone.

>>211374800 (OP)
This is just beyond retarded. Preschoolers have no concept of time travel and RTD has fucked the character of the Doctor beyond recognition that kids won't even recognize what it is they are watching.

>>211376129
There could be but no one has and no one involved in the TV side will do it.

>>211375904
>>211375936
They should make a sidescrolling beat 'em up game starring the 3rd Doctor

>>211376130
as the other anon mentioned he's just doing it to spite the ones saying it needs to be more mature
>There's a leak/rumour on some Doctor Discord/Reddit that RTD is at odds with the "potential new partner" about the direction of the show
>The new partner wants a more serious tone like Stranger things and a shift to target an older teenager audience
>Russell is said to strongly believe that the show's fun, campy, child/family tone is the key to success
>At this stage both the BBC and Bad Wold are backing RTDs vision

When will Jamie Mathieson save us?

>>211376184
It’s 8 years too late

>>211376166
>child/family tone is the key to success
Yet there's no merchandise.
I would have never gotten into Doctor Who if not for the massive merchandise sales I saw in Asda as a child back in 2007, like pic rel.
Now it's been well over a decade since I've seen Doctor Who plastics in person. They don't even make Doctor Who Adventures magazines anymore.

>>211374821
desu, this wont work, unless they make something as benign as Peppa Pig. Kids TV that kids watch is whatever their parents put on for them (while they use their tablets). And most parents (except very middle class ones) aren't about to show their kids gay DW.
That's just science. No use being upset at me for saying it.

>>211373377
I had an idea, but it's 13 feeling bad she said the wrong thing to Graham at the end of Can You Hear Me and trying to find a way to make up for it which I imagine will probably be the most common idea given the rules against using just about anything else so I doubt I'll bother.

>>211376239
>WAHHH I'M NO LONGER A KID WAHHH
Yet you refuse to grow up.

>>211374982
>what do the kids of today want?
>increasingly obscure characters from the 1980's
>a teen anarchist from the Thatcher era, with anger issues stemming from an abusive childhood
Um, sure.

>>211376275
Oh, nevermind, I didn't realise the deadline was today. Guess I'm not bothering.

>>211376291
Why break the habit of a lifetime, ey?

>>211376283
I'm saying kids won't get invested if there's no merchandise.
I've never bought Doctor Who merchandise since I was 12.

>>211376130
Preschoolers will be able to understand stuff like
>Doccy Who and friends meets pirates!!!
>Doccy Who and friends meets cowboys!!!

>>211376130
>Preschoolers have no concept of time travel
It's just Mr Peabody and Sherman.

>>211376356
who?

>>211376059
Nothing beats Shepherd's Boy

>>211376166
If that's true, then RTD has always been the wrong man for the job, and has fundementally misunderstood DW, and what people (including children like about it).
At it's core, it's not bogeys and farts and Jar Jar Binks tier children's entertainment. It's a slightly hokey approximation of topical horror movies, that they managed to slip past the censors. It's always been that. Cybermen are kind of like zombies, for example. Daleks are Mars Attacks coded alien invaders. The whole middle Tom Baker era is basically a pastiche of Hammer Horror.
It's so strange that a man who presumes to be a fan just doesn't get it. You have to wonder what he liked about classic DW, and if it began and ended with K9 and Bonnie Langford.

>>211376130
Maybe not. But sometimes if their hearts are in the right place and the stars are too, preschoolers can hear his name.

>>211376401
It's especially bizarre considering he wrote one of the most edgiest VNA novels

>>211376166
Jesus Christ - they're literally burnt the entire fandom to the ground and any money they have to keep this IP alive is going into toddlers television.

>>211376275
Type it up dead fast. It's only a page synopsis and a page except. 1000 words maximum, but you don't have to use that much.

To be honest they get a lot of entries so it's a bit of a lottery. I think "Yaz the Spaz" is in with a good shot as it hits all the buttons that people are talking about these days, like incels and the disabled, as well as being a bit racey, but no more graphic than one is RTDs something for the dads moments (there was a roman shower in Lucky Day).

>>211376401
He's a lying narcissist - he only pretended to like Doctor Who so he'd get the job.

>>211374982
This is an exceedingly dumb proposal in the age of kids being raised on Skibidi Toilet

The absolute state of this franchise.
>BBC asking for pitches for a cartoon version
>big finish asking for story ideas (competition)

torchwood... but for kids

>>211376401
The same RTD that puts a "something for the dads" in every episode, despite being gay, and wrote 73 yards and the Well in the last 2 series? He gets it, he just has to satisfy a lot of potential audiences.

Is the franchise even salvageable or is the only solution a hard reboot?

>>211376401
It is a fundamentally family show. Stranger Things is the complete wrong tone for Doctor Who. It's meant to be a mix of silly and serious.

>>211375238
The moment he left i lost all interest in the show.
I guess this is how Tennant fangirls used to feel back in the day

>>211376583
They already did that with the Series 2 edits. I wonder if those have been archived.

From the pitch document:

We are keen to retain the following attributes. The Doctor:-

• is hugely intelligent, especially with scientific knowledge
• is aspirational for our audience
• travels through time and space saving individuals, civilisations, and planets
• is an alien with two hearts from the planet Gallifrey
• has a strong moral compass
• avoids physical combat, relying on intelligence, humour, and diplomacy to resolve conflicts
• has a TARDIS and a Sonic Screwdriver which should feature in the series

The Doctor will attract a range of friendly and relatable companions who join in on the adventures and provide additional points of view as they collectively solve problems.

It also wouldn’t be Doctor Who without villains and monsters, but these should be more mischievous or bumbling, rather than menacing, and provide the Doctor with challenges that can be overcome in a non-threatening way.

>A list of existing villains and foes for you to choose from will be provided to suppliers who register to pitch.

I wonder what villains and foes they have deemed suitable for under 6yr olds?

>>211376589
Kill it for a few decades, then bring it back again with only a few references to old stories and lore, like they did in 2005.
Then they can easier get away with retconning all the stupid shit that's been inserted over the past decade

>>211376589
>Is the franchise even salvageable or is the only solution a hard reboot?

It's not salvageable, so this is the hard re-boot, but in cartoon form for preschoolers. Maybe in 30yrs from now they may consider a live action adaption of the cartoons.

>>211376642
I can only think of Sontarans and the Master, maybe the Rani as well if she's open now. Daleks are definitely out of the question, and you could maybe do bumbling Cybermen if you just make them want world domination instead of converting people.

>>211376339
>look how mature i am for not buying toys!!!!
Ok bud.

>>211376536
Idiot.

>>211376716
You're never too old to wave a sonic screwdriver around and point it in random directions, but that's about it.

>>211376642
THE GRASKE IS COMING BACK HOLY SHIT

RETURN OF THE SLITHEEN OH MY GAWDDDDD

>>211376589
If they take a break and give to someone far outside the Fitzroy/Bad Wolf clique, I think it could be saved.
If RTD2 Season 3 and the other shitty spin-offs go ahead, it'll probably forced into Wilderness Years 2. Show's already in cancellation territory.

>>211376591
Stranger Things *is* a family show.
>oh but it's scary for the kids!
Kids like that stuff.

>>211376740
Go to bed Russell - no one likes you.

>>211376800
u

>>211374800 (OP)
what the fuck

>>211376799
It's a dull show. It's not about it being scary for kids, but that it does a bad job at being interesting for them. It's hardly interesting for adults now either.

>>211376591
Have you ever seen a show called Doctor Who?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5zkjCLv3EE

>>211376902
what was the point of this anyway

>>211376902
It's not about being scary, Stranger Things just isn't a good show for young kids.

>>211376561
Those Big Finish competitions get a surprising number of entries (usually 1000+). I wonder how many of them are genuinely good (and if they ever read them).

>>211374800 (OP)
>The episode where toddlers learn about the horrors of nazism/fascism via the Daleks being wacky
>The episode where toddlers learn about the horrors of transhumanism via the Cybermen being wacky
>The episode where they accidentally imply the Timeless Child is non-canon
>The episode where the bootstraps paradox is explained in 5 mins
>The episode which features talking babies in space and a farting space ship
Will the CBeebies show be any different from the main show?

>>211376959
Cbeebies Who > Chibbers.

>>211376959
>>The episode where they accidentally imply the Timeless Child is non-canon
They've already said that they wanted the Doctor to be a two hearted alien from Gallifrey, it'll probably end up doing this.

>it was real

>>211376902

THIS is how Dr Who should be. Not the Kissy Kissy Soap Opera bilge the New crap is.
If this was done on the New Series, they'd use CGI for the Explosion, & have a Long Drawn out Over Emotional Scene where the Girl cries with Murray's Bland 2nd rate Jerry Goldsmith PUMPED up to MAX Droning out all hope of any sort of subtlety. And knowing Steven Muppet, He'l Probably reffer to his Checklist of Clichés, & make the two Kiss aswel. Thank Fuck he wasn't in Charge of DW back then.

This

Toddler TV's audience is controlled by their parents, this idea MIGHT have worked a long time ago when the fan base was not as toxic as it is now. Parent's that had fond memories of Doctor Who would have heard that theme music and put their kids in front of the TV to learn about celery and cricket bats. But today, there is so much anger and disappointment about the state of this show that no parent is going to associate a dumbed down cartoon version with a good experience for their child.

Okay so...I was convinced to watch

Series 1 is kino, excellent performance by Christopher, great stories.

Series 2 - The Satan and Cybermen stuff was good and the finale interesting

Series 3 - Family of blood arc was great, Utopia great, but I found the last two episodes terrible. Like John Simms Master though.

Series 4 - Really great, enjoyed almost every episode.

The Specials Water of Wars was fantastic, end of time was grea too

Series 5, Angel two parter was great, really great series

Series 6, strong opening rest of the season was mediocre I found. But still enjoyable enough

Series 7 - I didn't really like any episodes in this series at all, I liked Clara, found the ponds leaving adrupt, very messy.

Day of the Doctor- Brilliant, enjoyed John Hurt and the dynamics and zygons

Matt's finale episode was a terrible rushed mess though felt it should have been at least 3 episodes maybe.


Series 8 - Really enjoyed the Tone change her, few duds in it, but really enjoyed it and the arc for the Doctor. Missy was great.

Series 9 - Love most of the two parters here, heaven sent, actually enjoyed hell bent. I can understand it being off putting but its more a characterization focus and a good commentary on how relationships can become obessive and toxic.

Series 10, really enjoyed this Nardole is Kino, liked bill well enough, enjoyed all the episodes except the terrible Scottish set one, wtf was that, kino ending for Capaldi desu.

Series 11 - Didn't like a single ep here.

Series 12 - Liked the Tesla episode and the Haunting one. Timeless child stuff and then gallifrey destroyed again what? not great, the Master over acts i feel.

Flux - Actually really enjoyed this the Sontarans were fun, the weeping angels well used, the serialized nature was fun and an interesting mix of villains, I liked Swarm and Azure.

About to now start the three specials with 14. Will report back.

Leaked test footage from the cbeebies show.

There's a depressingly high possibility that the preschool spin off will be more enjoyable than the main show (if it ever comes back). I for one look forward to the live threads where we debate each episode's canonicity.

>>211377072
The Sound of Drums is kino.

cbeebies show will be closer to classic who. i just hope they don't get the same animators that did the reconstructions of lost episodes.

>>211377072
Another confirmation that RTD > SM > CC.

>>211377090
Are we going to have to debate about how canon the Cbeebies Doctor is? It's probably going to be an incarnation made for the show.

>>211377135
that would be dumb. i'm sure most of the former cast would love to come back and do it. you can do stories with any living doctor

oh HAHA greenis i just got it !

>>211376866
It's a show about kids going on an adventure (with blood and gore and monsters). It's basically exactly what kids want to be watching. Just because the censors tell you it's an 18+ show, doesn't really mean it's aimed at the 18+ audience in an exclusionary sense.
Better Call Saul is an adult show. Kids don't give a fuck about some guy doing legal crimes, and having a falling out with his brother.

>>211377182
didnt ask

>>211377182
It stopped being about kids going on an adventure after like Season 1 and then it turned into high school drama and the like.

They should kill off the Doctor which makes the Universe implode or something and they can restart everything

>>211377197
Well I'm telling you, you're wrong about everything, and you're wrong about life.
Go forth and sin no more.

>>211376642
>I wonder what villains and foes they have deemed suitable for under 6yr olds?

Have a "no kill/harm" rule and you can use almost anything. For example:
>Slitheen puts a baseball catchers glove on that fits their massive claws to cheat at baseball, ooh how unfair and sneaky of them! Also they fart, extra fun for the kids.
>Daleks uses their elevate/hover ability to win the long jump competition, ooh how sneaky of them.
>Those weeping angels are playing What's the time Mr Wolf and are basically unbeatable, ooh how sneaky of them.

Don't mention that all those villains would probably kill everyone in the stadium before they bothered cheating at sport and you've just got a fun show for little kids seeing how the Doctor, Ace and Frobisher make sure cheats never prosper.

>>211376166
The prime audience for Doctor Who has always been 9-16 in my eyes. Yes everyone can watch the show but if you're not capturing that group there's basically no point. I teach that age group and TV wise they're all into darker edgier stuff like Stranger Things and Wednesday and Squid Game. The day-glo camp style that RTD is going for is only appealing to the most of autistic of queers over the age of 30.

>>211377090
>Watch a few episodes of CBeebies Who
>They are lighthearted fun, made for children
>Notice a repeating phrase in a few episodes
>Watch episode 26 of Season 1
>The repeating phrases were all leading to a returning Classic Who monster that's defeated in two minutes
Russel got me again bros

>>211377207
I didn't watch those ones. S1 was a complete story.

>>211377166
The problem is that you'd need a consistent Doctor. Little kids might not really understand regeneration, you'd need someone willing to commit to a cbeebies show. I feel like the only past Doctors who would be a good fit for the show and would maybe be willing to do it would be Tennant or Whittaker.

>>211377135
>It's probably going to be an incarnation made for the show.
It will be Billie Piper.
>Hullo there - today we're going to learn how to swim, with the help of my good friends the sea devils!

I said for ages that Stranger things style would be great for Doctor Who.

I can totally imagine the Doctor in that series. And Imagine kaled mutant off shoots looking like the creatures of the upside down. That's the shit that will sell. You can still have the Doctor be humourous and whacky as a character.

But RTD is literally stuck mentally in 2005-2008.

Glad Amazon (the likely company) are pushing this one time highers ups know better that a showrunner.

>>211377249
>The Master summons the exiled Rassilon and high council and the Doctor has to beat them in a game of football with his friends
Kino.

>>211377263
>you'd need someone willing to commit to a cbeebies show
If it's animated, just use one of the old ones. It's just voice acting. They can record from Skype like they do in Big Finish.

>>211377263
>Whittaker and Tennant become the two most recognisable Doctors because they are the only Doctors who want to be on the CBeebies show
Just kill the show at this point

Watch the kids show turn out be absolute kino with a lot of dark elements thrown in and actual cool new monsters and designs. This will further drive RTD into insanity.

cbeebies show can do a crossover with Mr Bean

>>211377329
>Watch the kids show turn out be absolute kino with a lot of dark elements thrown in and actual cool new monsters and designs
It's a preschool show, autist.

>>211377329
It's not a CBBC show, it's a Cbeebies show. It probably won't have the opportunity to have stories that aren't about learning to flush the toilet.

>>211377353
But still has the capacity to be darker and edgier than what the tv slop has been.

>>211377367
I repeat. It's a preschool show, autist.

>>211377263
No. Plenty of kids shows have a rotating cast of lead characters. I wouldn't be surprised if they did something like

Monday Doctor: Black Man who explodes prehistory
Tuesday Doctor: White Man who explores the last 2000 years
Wednesday Doctor: Indian Woman who explores the present day
Thursday Doctor: Chinese Woman who explores 20 minutes into the future
Friday Doctor: Blue-skinned Doctor who explores the distant future

>>211377048
Also there's a strong chance that a current Doctor Who product might be trying to turn your kid gay or trans.

CBeebies

Intro:

I'm the Doctor I am a Timelord from the planet Gallifrey. Kids picture a giant orange and now imagine that in SPACE that's my planet.

As A Time Lord or Time Lady i'm gender fluid, i'm neither a man or woman, i'm both yet neither and its okay if you kids feel this way too.

Because you're special!

>>211377351

Guaranteed to be better and more thought-provoking than RTD2.

Not to that level but kids absolutely LOVE horror. Whenever they write stories it's nearly always a horror story. Making Doctor Who "that scary show" again would go a long way to improving it's popularity. At the moment it's "that cringe show my autistic gay female uncle watches"

>>211377683
*its

From dw discord

J. Michael Straczynski is the one trying to convince RTD that a darker tone and more teenage tone is needed. In Michael's vision he wants to cast Shaun Evans as the Doctor and have him be a tonal blend of 11 and 12. He also wants to set the new series in a small 80's movie style American town as the ''base'' between adventures. But while of course still keeping the Doctor British and all that. The companions would be three teenagers and an alien teenager too. Very coming of age stuff and classic 80s movies fright night, american werewolf etc. I've heard Michael wants the Time Lords old enemies the Great Vampires to be the main antagonists with lesser vampires infesting the town and other planets and he wants Ben kingsley as Rassilon trying to redeem himself for his past sins in this town too as Rassilon was there when the Vampires first invaded so he's sort of peter vincent in fright night ironically actually played by David Tennant is a remake.


That's the pitch.

>>211377683
A particular clique basically stupided themselves into thinking Doctor Who is all about love and acceptance and being gay and going to therapy, and now they can't comprehend why kids aren't into it.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so annoying. The answer is RIGHT in front of you, you fucking drama club mongs.

>>211377746

>>211375904
God I miss that Metal Gear/Risk flash game they had on that one website where it was the Resistance vs Cybermen and if you beat a Resistance campaign you got to play as the Cybermen
I wish we got a Doctor Who XCOM game but they'd just make it so gay, especially now that UNIT is what it is

>>211377789
Kids want it to be violent, scary, and considerably less gay.
A few machine guns and fighter jets couldn't hurt either.

>>211377798
I had an idea floating around in my head for a UNIT X-Com mod, where you get the Doctor as a special unit, who regenerates and comes back with slightly different stats and appearance, if he dies.
He could also throw a tantrum if you fire on the enemies before they fire on you, and have a negotiation skill.

There's a free one, if anyone knows anything about modding.

I've heard of Barry from EastEnders, but don't think he would be a good fit with the Doctor. Nasty Nick as the master I could see, but not Barry as the Doctor.

Had to actually Google who this Michael guy was and it turns out he made some dull as ditchwater American soap opera in space. Yeah, don't think turning Doctor Who into a boring American style Space opera would ever work, straight into the bin it goes. If they really wanted a different show runner then they could probably get Cartmel and Aaronvich to do it, at least they wouldn't try to change the show into some carbon copy of Star Trek.

Shit choices.

Or turn the Lego Dimensions levels into a real standalone game and expand on it. Apparently they were great.

>>211378136
Barry has that everyman quality, which would make him an interesting, more relatable Doctor.

The Doctor just left Rogue in Hell lol

>>211374982
Is Piper going to be a proper Doctor in the main show? Or is she a temporary gimmick?

Is the Cbeebies show even commissioned or in production? Or did they literally just say, we want to make this, we need a company to make it with us so it's nothing concrete yet?

>>211378296
That's going to be based on the "content" that ending generates. If people like the idea she'll stay, if they don't it will be a comic relief special.

>>211378317
I like Rose a lot as a companion, but I don't know if she'd make a good fit for the Doctor.
I'd rather they stop with all the cameos and the returning characters and just make something completely new; no nostalgia pandering, no "'member this character?"

I'd make her younger and his daughter instead. No point in keeping her as his granddaughter if it's a 30-something Doc again.
>>211378605
Straight options only.

>>211378296
Considering she is on a three year contract with the option to extend then, yes, she is going to be the Doctor for a while.

I don't know where all this guff about getting rid of her in a comic relief special comes from, but that's never going to happen. For one the BBC have faith that even if a doctor doesn't work at first then that can be turned around (look at the backlash to the 13th Doctor when she started, compared to the acclaim of the Flux series). For two, the comic relief and children in need episodes are not considered canon to the show.

>>211377541
According to some reviews I watched, thanks to the writing Belinda is the worst ever companion.

>>211378510
It's

>>211378587
Had they allowed romance in Classic Who, which companions would've been the Doctor's girl?

>>211378680

>>211378685
She has tits, so she's better than Ryan.

>>211378431
Piper's Doctor is not Rose.

Entirely new character, but has more in common with the War Doctor than Rose according to the (few) details I have heard.

If it gets a S3 then that’s proof enough that the BBC doesn’t care about the quality of the show and that RTD’s lofty contacts are the only thing keeping it on life support. It’ll continue for as long as he’s in the top job.

>>211378853
Supposedly because most of the stories after her intro were written to have Ruby in them.

Of all the companions, excluding Ryan, Belinda must have had the worst chemistry with the Doctor, so it's ironic that she ended up being impregnated by him.

>>211378726
5 and Nyssa.

>>211378931
The first episode was rumoured to have been a heavily rewritten version of the Christmas episode he wanted to write but couldn’t find the time. Moffat’s hotel one replaced it. Clearly Belinda was a last minute addition when the other actress got her role reduced.

>>211379020
excuses

>>211378750
I know she's not literally the same character anon, but it's still Billy Piper

>>211378945
it would have been hot to see the doctor knock up ruby instead not going to lie

>>211379041
her range is not that wide

Ptings is a scrapped episode that was going to be written by Chris Chibnall. This story would have been a sequel to The Tsuranga Conundrum.

>>211374821
On the contrary, maybe being forced to write childrens' television will help reign in the worse of his bull-headness and attract competent writers like what happened to Star trek.

>>211378919
The BBC still have to invest a lot of money into it as well. The main show is a money sink for them at the moment and they surely have to put their foot down at some point. Perpetual failure is absolutely going to put off potential license partners too.

>>211378945
>so it's ironic that she ended up being impregnated by him.
Lance Parkin had an alternate Bernice impregnated by 8. Married him too. This Benny's the one from the books, not the audios. 2 separate continuities there.

.

>>211379138
Doctor Who hasn't been taken seriously outside the UK since Matt Smith. Big in the UK means nothing these days. There will be no license partners outside BBC America.

>>211376987
And thank goodness for that.

>>211379142
Imagine if he regenerated while she was still a companion, which almost happened twice. She'd never keep her hands off of him.

>>211379142
The only one 8 should be impregnating is Grace Holloway.

>>211379279
She's off limits due to rights issues.

>>211378788
>He thinks twitter and reddit's real life and not just a loud minority of nerds slurping up the assjuice that is this franchise.

No. The BBC have paid for viewer engagement surveys yougov, as all media companies do. Sorry if that doesn't fit in with your world view, but most of X-formerly-known-as-twitter is bots or people trying to troll people, it is not an accurate representation of prevailing or majority views on anything, any more than /b/ or /pol/ here.

I don't even know what Flux is. I saw like two Jodie episodes ever, and they were bad.

Looms were a mistake. The Doc being an asexual weirdo for most of Classic's lifetime was a mistake.

>>211379359

Given how easy it is for Time Lords to completely adjust their biology to assume a human form that should be trivial for them to fix if needed, but Doctor is indeed an asexual weirdo.

>the initial leading actor drops out due to struggles with schizophrenia
>several main cast members drop out

You would think the Rani would have tried that before all the weird shit with that magic baby.

How did the Master sterilize the Time Lord race anyway? He just turned them into Cybermen which isn't any less retarded.

>>211379488
Guess we're all gay.

>>211379551
The Doctor should be affected either since he's not a Time Lord. Unless (half human on the mother's side) he is a future version of Poppy, his own daughter. And the timeless child was a little black girl, so it makes sense.

>>211379678
who cares
grow up
ignore shit lore and move on

>>211379781
that's what we told rtd

>>211379611
As I understand he wanted to move on. Few showrunners or equivalent do more than about 3-4 years on any show. That stuff is above my pay grade though.

>>211375904
These were pretty fun if low budget and a bit janky. I never understood why they haven't revisited this premise again. An adventure game is a solid format for a Doctor focused game.

>>211379367
It's boring, like most American TV sci-fi. Their shows don't have the imagination of British shows. Can you imagine B5 having an episode like Lux? No way. How about Blink, The Well, 73 yards, Dot and Bubble, or having a main character killed and cyber converted? It's the sort of thing an American show doesn't allow. They are bland and bereft of soul.

>>211380325
>can you imagine Babylon 5 having really shit episodes
Yes, but it's harder to imagine.
I *have* seen Crusade, so...

>>211375904
>Star Trek got string of really good adventure games in the 90's
>Dr Who got a slightly hokey Amiga platformer, and a "CD Rom experience" that wasn't really a game, as of such.
Miffed.

There's a whole genre of video games that are about solving puzzles, having conversations, and not killing anyone.

Nothing happens in Babylon 5 until Season 3.

>>211377742
>He also wants to set the new series in a small 80's movie style American town as the ''base'' between adventures

What Doctor Who really needs to attract a new generation is reliving boomer childhood vibes from another country

>>211378672
You know Hartnell wasn't much older during his run, right? And wore a wig to appear older?

>>211380444
Disagree. You wouldn't care about the characters, if they didn't take time to build them up.

>>211380477
Americans will never choose to watch a sci-fi show from another country full of unknown British actors over their own, more well-known, bigger budget shows full of recognisable Hollywood types. DW needs to stop trying to imitate American shows.

>>211374800 (OP)
I can see the point and vision. Doctor Who's been having issues getting new audiences in for ages, especially kids. So try and get them while they're young and hope they stick around for the main show in future years and try to also throw it in as a bonus to any production company as the next possible Bluey (which it'll unlikely achieve)

That said. Doesn't help one bit with making this RTD2/Whoniverse era stop feeling so aimless.

>>211380637
>DW needs to stop trying to imitate American shows.
And because lame and gay? No chance.

I hate the "brown people react to thing" genre.

Just make your own Doctor Who. However medium you can achieve it.

If RTD were still at the top of his game he’d have cast Christopher Biggins as the Rani

>>211380398
Oh yes, I remember those Star Trek games, they had the actual cast voicing them. That might have worked well for Doctor Who, a mystery where you had to go to planets figure out what's going on, going back and forward in time to find the truth.

>>211371812
sorry but in the age of Andrew Tate instead we need to teach boys that they're just broken girls, that they're evil and that everything bad is because of them.

>>211372715
well Jodie did have the "you redecorated" line, although that's just something lifted from Three Doctors.

>>211375936
plenty of stealth games offer completely non-lethal options for taking care of enemies. i always thought a Metal Gear type experience would work for a DW game. lots of story and cutscenes, interaction with characters and a focus on avoiding confrontation. there's a ton of weird sci-fi shit too, a shame Kojima's more of an arthouse pretentious hipster these days and probably would never take the job regardless.

>>211376589
it depends on what your goal is. if you want to just keep it on television you can do that, but in order for it to be quality again you basically need to fire everyone involved in the show today, or keep their hands off of it.

>>211379138
yeah but it's public money, they don't care, they can just set it all on fire and know they'll get more next quarter regardless of how shit their programming is. and even if it wasn't public money, plenty of these companies are fine burning money in the name of Woke and Doctor Who is extremely Woke now, The Message is more important than ratings or popularity or profitability or cultural relevance.

>>211381617
>but in the age of Andrew Tate

>enjoyed all the episodes except the terrible Scottish set one
what's even funnier about that is that episode was written by the woman who wrote the final episode of the original classic run of the series. she was the first and only writer for the classic series to write for the new series at the time, and ended up writing the lowest rated run of the revival (until Jodie's era came along anyway)

>>211377742
>I've heard Michael wants the Time Lords old enemies the Great Vampires to be the main antagonists
why do people who make up these rumors have an obsession with the vampires? i remember when Chibs was announced as the next showrunner and everyone was convinced he was going to do "darker" stories with season long arcs about a battle against the vampires.

>>211380477
i could see it working just because the change in scenery would be novel for British viewers while an American setting would make British characters and their inherent British qualities stand out all the more. as long as one of the teenagers is British it could work. the Brit teen and the Doctor pop off for tea time while the Americans all look around puzzled, that sort of thing. the Smith era two-parter set in America, meeting Nixon were all neat.

i wouldn't want the show to remain in America though. maybe a season long thing, before popping off to all of space and time. in general i'd like to see the Doctor visit locales and take on companions from times other than modern day "London" (Cardiff)

>>211380961
