Doctor Who update

I think this is actually good news. The last few years under Russell T Davies have been worthless.

Earlier this week, the Doctor Who shoe finally dropped. The BBC announced that not only was the planned Christmas 2026 special canceled, but the show’s architect across multiple eras—Russell T Davies, who shepherded Doctor Who from 2005 to 2010 and again from 2023 to 2025—would also be exiting, along with his production company, Bad Wolf.

Of course, I ditched TV years ago and haven’t been able to stay current. Never really moved on after Tom Baker, TBH.

Well we liked many of the David Tennant and Matt Smith shows. Some of the Peter Capaldi ones were worth watching. Sadly most of Jodie Whittaker and Ncuti Gatwa episodes were a struggle to watch even once.

We've never really gotten into watching the classic Doctor Who's (before 2005 / Eccleston). But some of the Tennant & Smith episodes we've rewatched a dozen times
