>Kate Phillips, chief content officer at the BBC, has spoken candidly on Doctor Who's future, saying the series will remain on the BBC "with or without Disney".
>"Any Whovians out there, rest assured – Doctor Who is going nowhere," she asserted.
>"Disney has been a great partnership and it continues with The War Between The Land And The Sea next year but, going forward, with or without Disney, Doctor Who will still be on the BBC."
>She went on to assure fans: "The TARDIS is going nowhere."
Whosisters are you reassured?

The phrasing is vague enough that it could be technically referring to any part of the franchise (eg a spin off show, old episodes being available on iplayer etc). The show is clearly dead for the foreseeable (and thats a good thing)

>>213886324 (OP)
>confirmed to continue on BBC
continue what on BBC

>>213886324 (OP)
Billie is going to be 50 by the time they make new episodes.

I hope the next Doctor is a trans faggot MAP. We need to go all in on woke.

We need a three episode arc for the wheelchair UNIT lady. She's the fucking best.

Basically
>Female Doctor Who completely tanks the viewership
>Show is gonna get cancelled by the BBC
>The showrunner of the 2005 reboot (Russel T Davies) comes back to the show to avoid it getting cancelled
>Does a co-production deal with Disney for a few 60th anniversary episodes, two seasons of 8 episodes and a spin off
>RTD brings back David Tennant for the 3 anniversary episodes. But they super gay and one literally revolves around a magical tranny
>RTD casts a black homosexual in the role of Doctor Who
>Unsurprisingly the viewership tanks even more (multiple "lowest ratings ever")
>Disney don't say if they want to renew the show for more episodes
>The spin off is still to air but the gay black guy has already left the show and RTD is basically saying its over

>>213886693
the last two seasons were backed by disney money and they had distribution on disney+ outside the uk, before that happened it was rumoured the BBC were getting ready to put it on hiatus or severely cut it's budget.

>>213886875
>>The spin off is still to air but the gay black guy has already left the show and RTD is basically saying its over
Thought I would add to your post:
>The companion leaves abruptly after the first series of black gay doctor, meaning the next series with him has to be changed on the fly despite all being written with her in mind.
>Black gay doctor quits and claims being the Doctor is hard on his knees, all the running and stuff but just the other week was pictured doing a massive jump for a stage production.
>The finale where he regenerated was massively edited and changed last minute.
>That second season companion basically got made a single mother by the Doctor as her "happy ending" whilst incel man villain got given a happy ending.

>>213886875
>Show is gonna get cancelled by the BBC
show was cancelled by the BBC with power of the doctor intended to serve as the series finale
the stars aligned to get rusty and tennant back, the show was uncancelled and the final minute of the episode was changed to include tennant
the rest is history and ncuti's doctor was better than whatever jodie was doing

holy shit i stopped watching before the female doctor like a nonretard but i didnt know it had gotten this bad. you don't hear about the show much anymore at least i don't. they should just get a brit with a good track record like moffat and cast a white male brit lead since the doctor is basically a wizard slash colonial administrator a gay black makes zero sense, but according to you guys it sounds like that's what they're doing with davies/tennant

>doctor who is going nowhere
Kek, you can say that again.

BUT WHAT IF TRANSGENDERISM SAVED THE WORLD.....AND DAVID TENNENT WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im so sick of david tennant popping up all the time they need a ratings boost and i hope his recent appearance finally gave people tennant fatigue

>>213887715
Tranny rose and wheelchair lady will boost ratings.

The writing won't improve. Stop kicking this can down the road. Quit while you're ahead. Just retreat from Dr. Who. This is happening across all major IPs. It is a clear warning sign and wake up call.

>>213886324 (OP)
Yeah no shit.
The BBC is funded by tv loicences so it doesn't matter how many people watch Doctor Who

>>213887472
It just gets worse. RTD decided that Davros being in a wheelchair was offensive to disabled people. So in a Children in Need Doctor Who special featured Davros walking about. Then he inserted a wheelchair user into Unit. The woman irl has a degenerative condition so can walk just not very far. Because this was never mentioned, some fans were confused if she could walk why did she need the chair etc. As a direct response to some fans asking this they had a scene when they were being manipulated where Kate Lethbridge-Stewart shouts at wheelchair user how she has seen her walking. Later in the two part finale, disabled people live in homeless camps because incel mans wish has taken over the world and he doesn't really think about disabled people so they are forgotten.

>The BBC is funded by tv loicences so it doesn't matter how many people watch Doctor Who
This isn't true anymore. You only need the license fee for specific things such as live TV. Increasingly now people aren't paying for the license fee because they only watch streaming and non payment was decriminalised many years ago. The BBC manages to piss off both sides of the political spectrum and there have been a lot of calls to scrap the fee altogether.

>>213887984
RTD has this bizarre wheelchair fetish now because his husband died of AIDS or something and was in a wheelchair for his last few years

>>213887984
>he doesn't really think about disabled people so they are forgotten.

Unfathomably based.

>>213888036
I hope RTD gets turbo AIDS from sucking 15s cock.

>>213888033
It used to be an actual criminal offense to not pay a tv license? It’s just an empty tax, why don’t they just go the full pbs route and get their funding through donations?

>>213888033
>there have been a lot of calls to scrap the fee altogether.
If it does get scraped I imagine all what will happen is it will just become a tax you automatically pay. They do that in various countries in Europe.

>>213888033
Millions of boomers are still paying for it so the BBC and its shitty program isn't going anywhere.

>>213888036
RTD kind of reminds me of how JK Rowling was. JK Rowling was in that desperate liberal place of pandering so declared Dumbledore was gay despite none of that being in the text so she could win brownie points with fans. Only she eventually fell afoul on the trans issue and when she couldn't win points anymore all she could do is double and triple down with animosity. RTD is pandering in a similar more desperate way because he wants to keep his position and is SUPER desperate to do so.
>>213888210
Not true, older people tend to get a free or discounted license.
>>213888158
I mean it basically already is a tax. Political pressure against it would seek a commercial model and have it fund itself.
>>213888138
>It used to be an actual criminal offense to not pay a tv license?
Technically it still can be an offense but it is never truly prosecuted upon criminally, usually just via fines.
> It’s just an empty tax, why don’t they just go the full pbs route and get their funding through donations?
It isn't an empty tax but it is currently on the downward spiral. Both sides of politics attack the BBC for its political coveragee.g. the left attack it over stuff like the Israel coverage, the right see it as woke. There have been many recent scandals (allegations on Strictly Come Dancing, Master Chef etc) as well as older scandals like Saville. A lot of big shows like Doctor Who are going down the drain. But people still think it plays an important part. The charter is coming up for renewal in 2027 so that is when we will probably see more discussion over this.

>>213887836
Based retard.

>>213888532
>I mean it basically already is a tax
It isn't. You can choose not to pay it and there are zero consequences.

Change out a few of the names/examples and this describes the history of the BBC going back to the 1930s.
Asa Briggs wrote a great series of books about the Beeb if you're interested in that kind of thing.

>It isn't. You can choose not to pay it and there are zero consequences.
Most people do still pay it even though there are little consequences. So it is practically still one, out of habit.

Next doctor should be Rosie Jones
Perfect for the role

>>213888036
>men can have husbands now
The Day of Judgement cannot come too soon.

>>213887472
if they were serious they would do a reset back to the space spores dream episode and have that doctor wake up to the real world (for real this time, everything prior was just a bad dream), rory and pond have long been dead and he aged out of his body and regenerated. I know I would watch it again if they took a step back and fired all the writers from the last 8 years.
