Radical: Will They Follow Through with the Promise

August 27, 2021

google.com, pub-ca-pub-6067120031842370, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0 Radical A BBC boss, according to this article, promises radical change to the iconic sci-fi television show. Outside of saying changes are coming. The boss is not too specific, but fans are hoping for radically good changes. Admittedly, Chibnall’s monster of the week isn’t great at times, or maybe not at all. The BBC’s belief that Chibnall would be a good choice backfired. He makes changes that didn’t do what the BBC hoped. The words of…

Chance This article from Stacey Henley tries to explain Jodie Whittaker did not have a chance as the Doctor. He makes valid points throughout the piece. References to both Russell Davies and Stephen Moffat give contrast to Chris Chibnall. Fans did not like it when Davies left because his time as showrunner is good. Stephen Moffat lead Doctor Who for just two more seasons than Davies. His time as showrunner is not as good, but it isn’t terrible. There are…

Exiting Exiting, the rumors of Jodie exiting are not new, but what happens blows me and others away. Doctor Who begins all-new for Season 14. The BBC announces in this article that Season 13 plus 3 specials will conclude Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall’s time with Doctor Who. The first one is not a surprise, on the other hand, the second one is. After reading the press release, fans find out about a pact. It is like, oh, so they were…

Earlier Doctors Well, well, the news is Hartnell is not the first Doctor. At least, that seems to be the case. In this article, the writer attempts to convey the idea of pre-Hartnell doctors. He is correct when saying, “Doctor Who season 12 rewrote the show’s entire show, revealing the Doctor is, in fact, the Timeless Child – a being who predates Time Lord society, and potentially originates from another universe.” Some fans like this, but some don’t. Are there…

Explode Many fans see a need for change, but what kind of change? In this article from RadioTimes, Christopher Eccleston comments that they need to “explode the canon.” What does this all mean? As fans, many of us want the producer to follow a set of guidelines. Then if it isn’t to our liking, we complain about what we see. You have to admit fans get spoiled when things are good. Is Eccleston right? Baseball players and other athletes get…

Responsible In this article from Screenrant, there is a theory the writer presents that the Doctor is partly responsible for the destruction of Gallifrey. When the Master returned in Season 12, he shows the Doctor he destroyed Gallifrey. The kicker is that he says he couldn’t do it without her help. Okay, this is a lot to digest. Do the fans believe the Doctor is capable of such a feat? Everyone knows the Master is ruthless and does not care about anything…

In the article, the author does say the rumor comes from a YouTube channel that does not contain any positive news for several programs. Is this rumor true, and have any truth or information to prove it to be real. Is Nerdrotic right or just stirring the pot for views for his…

Secret Regeneration In this article from Radio Times, Huw Fullerton makes his case the BBC will have a secret regeneration if Jodie is leaving. Honestly, in Louisiana and watching Doctor Who on Louisiana Public Broadcasting, fans did know a change occurred. One also has to realize they began airing the series in the late 1970s with Tom Baker. At that time, Tom was the Doctor. So, they introduced Doctor Who with the Doctor who is the best-known. So, where is…

From a fan standpoint, one has to look at all aspects of the role. Do fans want an American playing this iconic character? Not all fans will agree with a change from British to American. Some fans may be open to a change, but some of Doctor Who’s fans are not up for an actor…
