What does the future have in store for the BBC's Doctor Who after Showrunner Russell T Davies' upcoming Christmas Special?

Davies' Doctor Who, writer Mark Gatiss ("The Unquiet Dead," "The Idiot's Lantern," "The Crimson Horror," "Robot of Sherwood") is one of those people whose opinions on the long-running show always catch our radar Previously, Gatiss addressed the regeneration twist at the end of "The Reality War" that saw Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor regenerate into Billie Piper's[...]

If you're a Doctor Who fan, then you're probably either speculating about what Showrunner Russell T Davies has planned for the upcoming Christmas Special or finger-pointing at the most recent seasons and Disney as being the sources of the long-running series' current woes For this go-around, it's about the latter, with director Peter Hoar ("A Good[...]

There's so much fretting about the future of Doctor Who, with fans blaming showrunner Russell T Davies for his creative choices in the Disney+ era It creates a lot of clickbait as they villainize Davies for becoming the hero who brought the show back and then became the villain for staying around too long He[...]
