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

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.

Nope. They're more controlled by their own egoes and Political
Correctness stupidity ... just like most of the entertainment industry
these days. :-(

Which is more or less what Disney tried to do and made most of the
awful mess that the franchise is now in. They did the same with Star
Wars too. :-(

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.

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

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.

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.

I was referring to the totally degenerate characters that they played.

I think it's safe to say now that this was all a pack of lies. Knowing
all the facts why would Sony and AMC fall for the same scam that Disney
fell for?

This franchise became totally unsellable the moment a bunch of sick,
depraved, child grooming perverts were allowed to turn the Doctor gay
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.
