And it does look like the show is having a rest - certainly there's
no news from the BBC or Disney+, the former apparently waiting for
the latter to decide whether to recommission it or not. "Or not" is
reportedly the likeliest outcome, which means that the BBC might be
in search for a new streaming partner... although the BBC could fund
it itself without another company involved - it just doesn't seem
to want to.
Even showrunner, Russell T Davies, has admitted that the series is
"on pause".
That's wonderful news. With enough time to forget the embarrassing
years, the show might be revivable again. That would be great.

That is never going to happen. The Timeless Child monster rewriting the >Doctor's origin story has disenfranchised the majority of fans, and

Why would anyone want any of this woke garbage back?

That sounds about right. As well as being overly sexed up, it also
somehow manages to be childish. It's a family show at its core, but
families include teenagers and parents. It shouldn't be *just* for
people whose minds aren't fully developed.
Don't forget that this critique is coming from someone currently
marathoning My Little Pony. :\

Heh. I thought this was about the reason the current guy playing him claims >>>he quit: He was tired.
Or RTD just made an enemy!
No, he actually said that playing Doctor Who was too exhausting at his age!

Any time somebody from Doctor Who opens their mouth these days,
be it Ncuti Gatwa or RTD, I find it so cringe worthy. They spout
such bollocks.

I like Ncuti Gatwa but my eyes rolled at that one. Why say that?
Is he not clever enough to know that it sounds lame for a fit
actor of his age to say that?

Well, they do have to be consistent with the bollocks that the show
itself has become. :-p
