    I guess we'll see on Monday if this latest rumour is true ...


    Doctor Who's Future Reportedly Revealed as Reboot Details Appear Online
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    The future of Doctor Who has been in doubt for months now, ever since
    the end of the BBC's partnership with Disney+. BBC bosses insist the
    future is bright for Doctor Who, but the main issue is financing;
    financial pressures mean the BBC likely need another partnership to
    keep the world's longest-running sci-fi TV show going. Netflix has
    expressed interest in more BBC deals, but the streaming giant is far
    from the only game in town, and the BBC has good relations with several
    other global streamers.

    A surprising new post on Reddit reveals what seems to be a press
    release, dated May 11. According to this, AMC Global Media, Sony
    Pictures Television, and BBC Studios are about to announce
    "a three-series global reboot of the iconic sci-fi franchise."
    Production is expected to begin in 2027, with the first season slated
    for global premiere in 2028. While it's true this is only a leak, the
    text does follow standard formats, and AI checkers suggest it is
    human-written.

    According to the possible leak, the three companies will jointly
    finance Doctor Who. The BBC will remain responsible for airing the show
    in the UK, AMC Global Media will oversee international premieres and
    streaming rollout across its portfolio, while Sony Pictures Television
    will lead worldwide distribution and franchise expansion.

    Are We About to Get a Doctor Who Reboot?
    At present, this is only a rumor. If the press release is genuine, then
    it is clearly in a draft format; there are typical promotional quotes,
    but they are currently unattributed. This does, however, correspond
    with recent comments from the BBC suggesting co-financing would be
    necessary for Doctor Who, and the BBC has good relations with AMC in
    particular. While the leak should be treated with caution, it is
    certainly plausible.

    One word from the supposed press release is sure to draw attention from
    the fandom: reboot. The idea of a reboot is certain to be controversial
    given Doctor Who's long heritage; regeneration means Doctor Who has
    previously been able to reinvent itself without needing reboots. That
    said, showrunners Chris Chibnall and Russell T. Davies have both
    struggled to step out of the classic show's shadow, focusing a little
    too much on fan-service and connectivity. That context means it's easy
    to see why execs may have decided a reboot was necessary.

    Doctor Who benefits from embracing "timey-wimey" plots, which means
    there are ways to actually write a reboot into the show's narrative. In
    that scenario, viewers would ideally get an effective relaunch that
    maintained an element of continuity to satisfy older fans. Skilled
    writing could make it work, but it does feel like a gamble.

    According to this press release, the Doctor Who relaunch "will introduce
    a newly imagined narrative, refreshed cast, and expanded storytelling
    scope while honoring the core mythology that has defined Doctor Who for
    decades." Additional announcements will be made over the coming months,
    including executive producers, a new showrunner, and a writing team.
    Only time will tell whether any of this is accurate; but the reports
    are certainly going to leave the fandom deeply curious.

    My first thought was NO NO NO NO NO.

    I'm still kind of leaning that way, but given what the show has become,
    a reboot might be the best way to try to preserve the good core. As with everything else, it depends on exactly what they do and how.

    Maybe the BBC should learn to work within a budget again. Their shows
    were better when they had sharp budget constraints, and constraints are
    a known spur to creativity.

    I don't think of either of those two gentlemen as exessively controlled
    by show history or fan desires.

    That would be ideal. In fact, it would be heavenly. Imagine a semi-
    rebooted Doctor Who which got rid of all the stupid crap and segued
    smoothly from either Smith or Capaldi into a new Doctor who brought a
    new spin to the classic character.

    If it were me, at first I wouldn't even reference other Doctors. After a while, there'd be either a mention of regeneration or a regeneration to
    change actors. We'd leave vague what parts of the past officially do and
    don't count, but we'd never reference anything from the stupid years.

    The show basically "reboots" every time they change the actor playing
    the Doctor, and some have been worse than others asnd some have been
    more blatant than others (such as Doctoress Who simply to push the
    "Equality" idiocy).

    In reality, the lazy news media doesn't actually know what "reboot"
    means, and they use the term to cover anything and everything that
    isn't the original - remakes, resurrections, prequels, an sequels, as
    well as proper reboots. It's anyeon'es guess what will really happen,
    but probably no different to every other change of main actor.

    The show is completely dead, reboot or no reboot. The moment they made
    the show about the Doctor's sexuality and turned him into a rampant
    homosexual it became totally unsuitable for children forever. No child
    will date to admit school or too their friends that they ever watched
    this degenerate show. No decent heterosexual parent will consider
    subjecting their children to disgusting sexual grooming by a bunch of
    sick and depraved perverts even if the next Doctor is portrayed as being straight. The Doctor's sexuality should NEVER have entered the scope of
    show let alone completely dominated it. It can never recover from that.

    The BBC should learn to stop sexually grooming children and hiring
    disgusting perverts who want to foist their degenerate and totally
    morally depraved sexual agendas on children.

    I don't think of either of those two gentlemen as exessively controlled

    These two degenerate pieces of shit didn't give a fuck about Doctor Who.
    They were only interested in making the show and it's main protagonist
    into an image of their own sick, degenerate, and disgusting selves, a
    victim of child abuse who despises his own gender, and a brutal,
    bullying, sexually harassing, racist homosexual, obsessed with satiating
    his own lusts. They didn't give a damn about anyone who was different
    from themselves and they didn't give a damn about Doctor Who lore.
    Doctor Who lore didn't represent them so they had to change it and turn
    the Doctor into a monster, the Timeless Child!


    Doctor Who benefits from embracing "timey-wimey" plots, which means
    there are ways to actually write a reboot into the show's narrative.
    In that scenario, viewers would ideally get an effective relaunch that
    maintained an element of continuity to satisfy older fans. Skilled
    writing could make it work, but it does feel like a gamble.

    That would be ideal. In fact, it would be heavenly. Imagine a semi-
    rebooted Doctor Who which got rid of all the stupid crap and segued
    smoothly from either Smith or Capaldi into a new Doctor who brought a
    new spin to the classic character.

    Doctor Who cannot be rebooted. An Unearthly Child would never work
    today. Whose going to watch a story about a pair of kidnapped teachers
    being taken back onto the stone age and encountering a tribe of savages?
    It wasn't until the Daleks appeared that people started watching.

    Are they going to remake every William Hartnell adventure, ending in The
    Tenth Planet, and then remake Power of the Daleks all the way to The War
    Games using a Patrick Troughton lookalike? They'd also have to remake
    every story where the Doctor meets a new companion and then leaves them behind, and most of those stories were not very good.

    The only way that this could work is by rebooting the show as a series
    of one off movies like the ones staring Peter Cushing portraying the
    original Doctors and possibly writing new stories that fit in-between
    the existing ones like Big Finish have done.

    But the franchise is completely dead thanks to the Doctor being turned transgender and gay and only a thorough denunciation of that and erasure
    from canon would get people to reconsider.

    No one will even bother to watch a reboot knowing that it would lead to Whittaker, Gatwa, and the Doctor being the Timeless Child monster
    instead of a Time Lord.

    If it were me, at first I wouldn't even reference other Doctors. After a while, there'd be either a mention of regeneration or a regeneration to change actors. We'd leave vague what parts of the past officially do and don't count, but we'd never reference anything from the stupid years.


    There is only one way this series could be brought back and that is as
    an adults only show with everything involving the lesbian Jodie
    Whittaker, the homosexual and transgender David Tennant, and the
    effeminate gay cry-baby Ncuti Gatwa erased from canon completely in the
    same way as the series of Dallas that never was, and none of it ever
    refereed to.

    A surprising new post on Reddit reveals what seems to be a press
    release, dated May 11. According to this, AMC Global Media, Sony
    Pictures Television, and BBC Studios are about to announce
    "a three-series global reboot of the iconic sci-fi franchise."
    Production is expected to begin in 2027, with the first season slated >>> for global premiere in 2028. While it's true this is only a leak, the >>> text does follow standard formats, and AI checkers suggest it is
    human-written.

    My first thought was NO NO NO NO NO.

    I'm still kind of leaning that way, but given what the show has become,
    a reboot might be the best way to try to preserve the good core. As with
    everything else, it depends on exactly what they do and how.

    The show is completely dead, reboot or no reboot. The moment they made
    the show about the Doctor's sexuality and turned him into a rampant >homosexual it became totally unsuitable for children forever. No child
    will date to admit school or too their friends that they ever watched
    this degenerate show. No decent heterosexual parent will consider
    subjecting their children to disgusting sexual grooming by a bunch of
    sick and depraved perverts even if the next Doctor is portrayed as being >straight. The Doctor's sexuality should NEVER have entered the scope of
    show let alone completely dominated it. It can never recover from that.


    Time for the retcon of the timeless child!



    Are We About to Get a Doctor Who Reboot?
    At present, this is only a rumor. If the press release is genuine, then
    it is clearly in a draft format; there are typical promotional quotes, >>> but they are currently unattributed. This does, however, correspond >>> with recent comments from the BBC suggesting co-financing would be
    necessary for Doctor Who, and the BBC has good relations with AMC in >>> particular. While the leak should be treated with caution, it is
    certainly plausible.

    Maybe the BBC should learn to work within a budget again. Their shows
    were better when they had sharp budget constraints, and constraints are
    a known spur to creativity.

    The BBC should learn to stop sexually grooming children and hiring >disgusting perverts who want to foist their degenerate and totally
    morally depraved sexual agendas on children.


    Like RTD and above!

    That
    said, showrunners Chris Chibnall and Russell T. Davies have both
    struggled to step out of the classic show's shadow, focusing a little
    too much on fan-service and connectivity. That context means it's easy
    to see why execs may have decided a reboot was necessary.

    I don't think of either of those two gentlemen as exessively controlled
    by show history or fan desires.

    These two degenerate pieces of s*(t didn't give a f*k about Doctor Who.
    They were only interested in making the show and it's main protagonist
    into an image of their own sick, degenerate, and disgusting selves, a
    victim of child abuse who despises his own gender, and a brutal,
    bullying, sexually harassing, racist homosexual, obsessed with satiating
    his own lusts. They didn't give a damn about anyone who was different
    from themselves and they didn't give a damn about Doctor Who lore.
    Doctor Who lore didn't represent them so they had to change it and turn
    the Doctor into a monster, the Timeless Child!


    Spot on! IT is time for that to be retconned!


    Doctor Who benefits from embracing "timey-wimey" plots, which means
    there are ways to actually write a reboot into the show's narrative.
    In that scenario, viewers would ideally get an effective relaunch that
    maintained an element of continuity to satisfy older fans. Skilled
    writing could make it work, but it does feel like a gamble.

    That would be ideal. In fact, it would be heavenly. Imagine a semi-
    rebooted Doctor Who which got rid of all the stupid crap and segued
    smoothly from either Smith or Capaldi into a new Doctor who brought a
    new spin to the classic character.

    Doctor Who cannot be rebooted. An Unearthly Child would never work
    today. Whose going to watch a story about a pair of kidnapped teachers
    being taken back onto the stone age and encountering a tribe of savages?
    It wasn't until the Daleks appeared that people started watching.

    Are they going to remake every William Hartnell adventure, ending in The >Tenth Planet, and then remake Power of the Daleks all the way to The War >Games using a Patrick Troughton lookalike? They'd also have to remake

    No one will even bother to watch a reboot knowing that it would lead to >Whittaker, Gatwa, and the Doctor being the Timeless Child monster
    instead of a Time Lord.

    Point well taken.


    If it were me, at first I wouldn't even reference other Doctors. After a

    I don't know much about Jodie Whittaker, but I'm pretty sure David
    Tennant is neither of those things.

    He did transition his child, though. That's probably why he's still
    firmly committed to transmania after many started backing away.

    and use him in order to sexually groom of children from overwhelmingly heterosexual families, since homosexuals can't have children, to be like
    him and themselves.

    There's no way back from this. Doctor Who is no longer a family show. It should have never been used to satiate the sick lusts of a bunch of
    degenerate perverts.
