Makes me quite angry that one of the best things to ever happen to me is still being shat on by people on the internet.
Time Team hasn’t existed for five years and some of y’all STILL have it in for us.
All we did was say yes to a great opportunity and try to enjoy it.
I think Chibnall and Whittaker were brought in for the same reason but the way BBC Studios went about it for Series 11 was so lame. The music in the trailers, replacing the Time Team, the emoji tweets, Doctor Who Adventures returns to seemingly appeal to only girls, etc.
If we don’t celebrate new parts of Doctor Who that platform younger, more diverse people, (Time Team, Podcast, Class etc) then we’re in danger of shutting off the Whoniverse to young, diverse people that might be interested in the show.
In January, I started my dream freelance job as an editor on Puffin’s Doctor Who book range!📚
One of my first projects was FIFTEEN DOCTORS 15 STORIES - editing the novelisation of Destination: Skaro and a new, exciting adventure for the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby!
Out 19/09 ✨
People wonder why there aren’t as many diverse fans out there or working on the show. It’s not hard to figure out why people don’t stick around in the Doctor Who world - or even try to penetrate it.
Anyway. Tweeting this on my smaller account to try to avoid drama but I’m really tired. It’s tiring. It’s not fair. We need to treat younger, newer fans better.
I’ve spent 5 years saying almost nothing about how much TT destroyed me mentally (and spiritually) while having to read tweets every so often still slating us for… *checks notes* existing?
Andddd this is why I shouldn’t go on social media while I’m in a depression pit! There are far more important things going on in the world! Free Palestine! I’m going for another nap x
Hello everyone!
I’ve had to start my account again because

got locked.
Don’t know if I will get that account back but will be tweeting here instead for now. ✨🌌
@DoctorWhoPN
Hi! Thank you for clarifying but your tweet literally calls the S11 rollout, including Time Team ‘lame’ and implies that Doctor Who shouldn’t cater to younger audiences. It definitely reads like you have ‘something’ against us. You can’t separate TT from the people in it
Thank you to everyone who has re-followed me on this new account! 🌌

I don’t want to engage anymore but I hope you have a lovely rest of your day any think before tweeting about real life people who actually follow your accounts and can see what you’re saying :)
I’ve gone on private because far too many people are taking my TT tweet in bad faith without understanding the situation
Remind me to never tweet a feeling again xxx
Very happy to be ending 2023 on a positive note and working towards beautiful things. This time last year I was in such a bad way and I’ve spent so long trying to make things better for myself and I’ve really turned it all around. Who knew!!!

Hi there! Unfortunately you clearly do not understand or know about the history of what we’re talking about - isn’t as simple as just ‘criticising media’ - but thanks for your input!
I’ve written a few bits for the

I wouldn’t be here without our little blue box show and I certainly wouldn’t love/be loved by so many beautiful people if it hadn’t introduced me to them.
Beyond grateful for everything the TARDIS has brought me 🌌✨
For those wondering, the reason I lost my account was because I updated my birthday and was promptly locked out because apparently I wasn’t old enough to have Twitter when I made the account.
In 2010. 🤣🤣🤣
Now I’ve been told I need my PARENTS PERMISSION to unlock it lol

Honestly Doctor Who = Christmas to me. I’m so glad it’s back to comfort me during the festive period this year. I loved having it on New Year but I truly need the Christmas Day episode this time around 🥺❄️
He is just the most glorious creature. The most perfect kitten cat to ever grace this planet. I would die for him (no matter how much he claws the sofa)
I love this because it is proof that it doesn’t matter how annoying you were when you were a teenager / young adult, you can still come out the other side a normal, successful human being 😎🤣
If you ever worry that you're too involved in Doctor Who discourse on the internet, just remember that the people running the official Doctor Who fan club back in the '70s had to deal with so many letters from Peter Capaldi that they actively thought of him as a nuisance.
This app is wild. I’d never dream of speaking to people the way some people respond to tweets that took 1 second of brain power, certainly ones I also meant as a joke lol
Russell T Davies when asked if it's possible for the Doctor to regenerate into twins:
"Yes…"
"Keep watching and you will see over these next few episodes that absolutely anything can happen!"
I’m going to be on
@bbc5live
tomorrow morning at 7:50am to chat all things Doctor Who, Star Beast and 60th anniversary! 🌌✨
If you’re an early bird, give it a listen: 👀
They’ve sent a load of really weird tweets my way so I’ve given them a block but I read this one about 15 times because I couldn’t fathom what it was saying 🤣
@louisslegall
Who will run the show in 10 years? 20 years? All of the people running it now were young fans once. Absolutely mental to think Doctor Who shouldn’t try to pull in younger viewers

Love going on the radio at 7:50am and croaking my way through because it’s so early. I will ALWAYS be excited to croak on about Doctor Who over a morning cuppa 🤩

Susan goes mental with a pair of scissors. Doctor Who gets Hitchcock-ian. It’s not trauma, he’s just Scottish!
