it’s kinda funny that to be qualified to work at one of the most top secret organisations in the world all you need to have done is simply travel with the doctor and come back alive
This is going to be so incredible for so many younger fans to see.
This is normal. This is life and love and happiness. This is their hero. This is Pride.

i just don’t understand how the bbc solely funded by themselves were able to create 9 episodes, several reaching an hour and one feature length 90 minute episode just 3 years ago, but now the bbc, bad wolf and disney are struggling to make 8 episodes with 40 minute runtimes?
russell t davies literally started his era at the beginning of power of the doctor with one of the most unprogressive things he’s ever put out as a writer under the guise of not wanting to make a mockery of ‘putting a man in women’s clothes’
its the way the twelfth doctors face didnt even need explaining but we were given a satisfying answer that tied into the twelfth doctors character arc perfectly..meanwhile we all expected a proper answer for 10 becoming 14 and im still scratching my head wondering why it happened
NEED people to understand that this IS exactly what someone who has no experience of freestyling would say when put on the spot. look at her face!!!! shes even like "what the fuck do i say now??"
“in my country we had to watch doctor who at 4am while riding a horse in 400 degree heat!! you brits can deal with midnight!!”
ok in the nicest way possible, idc 😭😭dr who is a british show that airs on british tv that’s just how it works and always has
i think it’s so funny how moffat HATES writing for rtds companions omg 😭😭
gitf- rose is ignored while 10 falls in love with reinette
blink- martha’s got 4 seconds of screentime
sil/fod- donna gets ‘saved’ and focus is on river
boom- ruby dies halfway through
DR WHO ANNIVERSARY LEAKS:
david tennant returns
john hurt (last seen name of the doctor) returns as the war doctor
possibility of zygons
the plot will be about trying to save gallifrey
i do actually think that after 2 years of waiting for an explanation on why the tenth doctors face came back, we shouldve gotten an explanation on why the tenth doctors face come back. especially when we had teasers asking "why did this face come back?"
it always sends me how the kids start cheering on kenny when they think he’s some kind of domestic terrorist and this will undoubtedly ruin his life forever

Artwork with Russell T Davies & Ncuti Gatwa!
@empiremagazine
has shared this fantastic artwork by
@JaceyDigital
! It's for their interview with Davies and Gatwa in the latest magazine issue, out now!
i dont get it when people are like "recommend the latest doctor because people dont want homework to catch up to the latest series!!" and its like... i wouldnt recommend the show to anyone who views older seasons as 'homework' bc i dont think they're actually interested
yeah people are REALLY misunderstanding why the episodes in s14 only being 45 minutes is disappointing lol
blink is a 45 minute episode in a 13 episode series.
hate the 'next of kin' bit in boom, because carla is obviously rubys next of kin. it weirdly suggests that her birth mother is more important than carla
there’s just something a bit funny about the fact that kate stewart is the only consistent character throughout 2021, 2022, 2023 AND 2024 like she will NOT leave
🚨 HAS ANYONE ELSE SEEN THIS ??? APPARENTLY ITS LEAKED FROM AN EMBARGOED INTERVIEW?????
DAVID TENNANT AND MATT SMITH ARE GETTING THEIR OWN 5 PART MINI SERIES FOR THE 60TH
ignoring how the “women’s clothes” are just… a coat, baggy trousers and a rainbow tshirt.. would it have not been more progressive to show the male doctor in these ‘feminine’ clothes? to get across the idea that the doctor is a non binary being?
🚨 DOCTOR WHO NEWS 🚨
‘THE DEVILS CHORD: The Soundtrack’ will be released on Friday April 12th, one month before the episode broadcast.
According to Russell, all proceeds from the album will go to charity!
the average 60s doctor who story is like
"the doctor and vicki accidentally get locked in a low gravity trampoline park and have a large feast!
meanwhile, ian and barbara are imprisoned in a saw trap, with crushing blades surrounding them on every side"
so it’s stated that anyone who has ‘ extensively travelled in the tardis’ is immune to the effects of the giggle (for some reason)
wilf is immune and has had travelled in the tardis once in the end of time
kate travelled in the tardis in potd, but wasn’t immune?
not enough people praising millie gibsons performance.. sorry but she’s spectacular. such a young actor being the lead of an entire episode (the first episode she filmed !!!) and doing such a phenomenal job. we’re so lucky to have her
i do not trust rtd. that man literally *admitted* to leaking fake stuff to the press to throw them off the scent of who the next doctor was going to be. if hes gonna do shit like that who knows what else that man is going to say to the press...?
i think this is my favourite sarah jane moment bc elisabeth sladen she SELLS this like nothing else. she had bills to pay, she had children to mother, she had cunt to SERVE. and she did it impeccably. what a remarkable woman
I’ve always adored the attention to continuity in this scene. Jack and Sarah Jane hear that sound and immediately start kissing their loved ones goodbye because they’re the only ones who know what it means. They’ve SEEN what it means.
Really effective stuff.
i kinda hate how rtd has to retroactively 'RTDify' classic who companions like sarah jane and mel. retconning sarah jane and the doctors relationship as romantic and giving mel a tragic orphan backstory
you know it’s really quite crazy that you have christopher eccleston himself coming out and saying that rtd, julie gardner, jane tranter and phil collinson all fostered a toxic workplace and like, dwtwt just kinda ignored it after a couple days
“you need to remember rose was only 19 she’s not gonna be a perfect person” is such a lame excuse for the fucked up things she did.
literally one of the worst companions. you can’t defend someone who stole a council axe from a council van and used it to dig up a council road 🙄
i cant get over how abysmally bad of a creative decision it was to cut 'push the button' out of space babies just to make it a running motif throughout the episode that the doctor pushes buttons and then even references it in the climax of the episodes when he closes the airlock
would it not have been more of a statement to say “fuck you” and show him proudly standing in her clothes rather than cowering and switching the outfit and not even bothering to give a story reason behind it?
guys idc that was an absolute banger of an episode and i feel like the people who don’t like it just don’t understand the fantasy elements and are trying to sci fi explain it which literally can’t be done
if yaz ever came back but was written by rtd she'd be depressed as fuck the entire episode and then by the end she'll have a dramatic monologue where she's screaming and crying saying stuff like "I LOVED THE DOCTOR! I LOVED HER!" while banging on the wall
show this photo to someone who has never seen doctor who and ask them to tell you which one is the doctors granddaughter and which one is the doctors girlfriend
are you even an english teacher if u dont get pregnant in the middle of the school year and take half the year off and then bring the baby in a few months later to show everyone
julie gardner and phil collinson being like “80s who got too silly” and are releasing an episode next week where goblins sing a pop song about eating a baby
hell it would’ve even fit thematically with the whole gender thing rtd has going on in the star beast. but instead he erases all of that in fear of some tabloid articles doing what they would’ve always done regardless of whether tennant wore 13s clothes or not. weak and pathetic
thirteenth doctor during flux: going through extreme torture, being emotionally abused by her adopted mother then seeing her die in front of her and feeling the whole universe be destroyed
yaz and dan in 1905:
like 'it was to come home to donna! he needed rest' ok..? why donna? why didnt they regenerate back into 7 and then go live with mel. why didnt he regenerate back into 11 and go live with the ponds in new york, why didnt he regenerate into 12 and go live with bill like
idk who needs to hear this but catherine tate will be broadcast to EVERY country taking part in eurovision for literally only 20 seconds at most while she gives out the points. there’s not gonna be a fucking doctor who trailer in the middle of that
not to mention that was at the HEIGHT of covid. has the state of british tv production declined THAT badly since then that even with a ‘way bigger’ budget that the disney deal apparently brings, that 8 episodes that barely reach 45 minutes is such a hard task?
"rtd promo is so much better than chibnall promo" rtd promo is literally releasing entire scenes weeks before an episode comes out that people gotta work to avoid because they dont want spoilers like
@reecelyons_
i don’t understand? he wanted to date you and be on his show, and because he mistreated his ex you were scared that he was going to mistreat you? what did he actually do except ask you on a date? not trying to discredit ur story i’m just confused on what the story *is*
and the easy answer is 'because tennant was the only one willing to come back and will get ratings' but like.. whats the in universe reason ? because i can headcanon it as the doctor still having guilt over donnas memories and going back to her subconciously.. but its a headcanon
it’s been hundreds of years for the doctor since they travelled with rose and they’ve even gotten married and had like 2 other love interests in that time. if 14 has a whole emotional moment about rose tyler in the 60th it’s gonna seem so fckn weird
i NEED doctor who fans to watch other shows that were produced in 2020 because it’s actually really impressive how you can’t tell flux was filmed during a pandemic at all considering every other show had the actors stand 4 miles away from each other at all times
chris chibnall saying that if he had stayed an extra year then the next series would’ve had 13 travelling with a different classic who companion each episode???? WTF 😭😭😭😭
series 14 writers list CONFIRMED!!
russell t davies: episodes 1,2,5,7,8
steven moffat: episode 4
mark gatiss: episode 6
what are your thoughts on this writing team?
rtd treats any episode over 50 minutes as some kind of special treat when war of the sontarans was just casually 59 minutes just because the story needed to be that long to be told
