Ncuti quits Doctor Who? Series 2 finale details? | Joe Fragilé

[@andrewgillon2763]

I have a friend who works at Bad Wolf Studios and they have told me the negotiations with Disney have broken down on series 3 over budget. The BBC are now looking at other potential investment partners. Apple TV and Amazon are currently in talks with the BBC. Series 3 will not make its shooting or release dates so there will be another gap year with other content to fill that void. Gatwa’s contract is done and negotiations have not taken place to renew it. A regeneration scene has not been shot. Nobody has been cast as the next Doctor as it’s uncertain Doctor Who will continue in this format. There are rumours that an animated Doctor Who film is Bad Wolfs next targeted project.

This all sounds more plausible than Rose Who, I must say...

[@MrWayneJP]

I'm not buying any of this. You've either been seriously duped or you're rabble-rousing. Sort it out, Joe - either way, this is embarrassing...

[@JoeFragilé]

The rabble are quite capable of rousing themselves. The third alternative is that this is a satirical channel and isn't supposed to be taken seriously. Nevertheless, thanks for your feedback.

[@flaxmanlow9012]

So they're replacing the worst Dr ever with a guy pretending to be a girl? The folks in charge need to pass this once-amazing series on to someone who will care and do this series credit. Please!

[@JoeFragilé]

I wonder why a guy would pretend to be a girl if she weren't, in fact, actually a girl. It's an odd thing to invite such vitriol and hate for something you're just pretending to do. Something to think about.

Keep dreaming, mate. Hatred, even subtle, does a great disservice to the fandom, and society at large. I grew up in the 90s with Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, et al. I have the ability to love the classics I grew up with and embrace and enjoy the reboots! Maybe it's a generational thing. I don't know. Just let a little love in your life, please. I loved your little sermon. Not sure you should mix church and state with a Sci-fi show, though! I really do hope most of this was sarcastic. If not, I weep for yours, the generation we'll have to look after and wipe your arses. 😅 Just chill 😎 what happened to love?

[@JoeFragilé]

Worry not, my friend. Giving the perennial determined-to-be-haters a good reason to stop watching now leaves the rest of us to enjoy this wonderful show in peace :)

Why is every one deemed racist or sexist because they don't like an actor or that interpretation of the role, GROW UP BIGOT, the Dr for half a century was never interested in cocks or snatch. That ain't what DrWho is about

What? It's not even written as far as I know and also not confirmed that anyone wants it, therefore nobody will be shooting anything. Get some proof of this if you can.

@ Been Covering Doctor Who for 13 years on youtube with 14,000 vids. Russel had a coffee with one of the members of my group. Season 3 is a go and fine. Even Ncuti Gatwa was announcing it on Graham Norton before they cut it. An actor knows when he has to film. I wantbit and millions of Whovians want it. Thanks

I love to watch Doctor Who. But...Yes, there's a but. I hate all the new stuff! Give me Tennant, Capaldi,Eccleston but not the 3 new ones! It's to woke, too boom in your face, too i'm different and you just have to accept it level. Disney has ruined the show.

If these rumours are correct, what on earth are they doing to the show? I barely watched the Jodi era onwards.

[@JoeFragilé]

Bob here, Joe's editor. Don't worry, they're not true.

[@mattphoenix4702]

I… I can’t really watch Doctor Who anymore. I do want to say I have to part ways with you on Whittaker. I feel REALLY sorry for Jodi, if she had been a regeneration sooner I think she could have been brilliant. The absolute desecration of everything logical in the Doctor Who universe that Chibnall has wrought (for NO reason other than having a “shocking” twist to keep the audience guessing. We are facepalming, not guessing) coinciding with her first season as The Doctor was something NO ONE could have salvaged. The 60th Anniversary specials actually went a good way towards reviving my interest in the show. Nothing is perfect, and they had their flaws, but especially “Wild Blue Yonder” had that spark that had been missing from the show in years. It almost entirely recaptured the “magic” of the 4th season, and Tennant and Tate STILL have fantastic chemistry on screen. I can even accept the bigeneration thing. I don’t think about it too hard because it’s an absolutely ridiculous concept, but in the spirit of wanting to like Who again, I was willing to just accept it. Neil Patrick Harris was also a scenery chewing delight. Even though we knew Tennant was regenerating in this episode, it came as a shock for how … well, brutal and sudden it was. No speech, no monologue, no making sad faces at the camera. I wish other villains had the foresight to do what The Toymaker did. He took his goal of killing The Doctor seriously, and he succeeded. Then all my hopes were dashed in the first episode of the season. Davies seems to have lost the magic he had used in the past to craft some remarkable stories. Goblins. They’re a thing now. Just accept it. And they have a flying ship. Why? Because The Doctor invoked a superstition at the very edge of Universe. The show has more fantasy aspects to it now because salt and reasons. Wtf was he thinking? Lamest version of “a wizard did it” I’ve even seen. Haha the show is at such a low point that when asked if he would ever want to do a cameo return, Capaldi said no. He took his role seriously, and he recognised that in the current state, the show likely wouldn’t have been faithful in presenting his Doctor well enough to convince him to return. Capaldi will always be my favorite Doctor. I’ll accept his judgment call on this one and not risk a return. It’s just sad, too.

[@JoeFragilé]

I am 100% with you on Jodie. She is a an amazing actor, but her era was a mess. I'm sorry you're not a fan of the latest series. I would only say, Doctor Who changes all the time, and if you wait for just a little while it could well be what you're looking for again. I see the new RTD area as flawed, but so much more alive than the Chibnall era that I am enjoying it despite the problems. I don't mind the fantasy elements, but I see where you're coming from. And yes, Capaldi is the best Doctor, no arguments there :)

[@christopherhowarth9801]

What was the point of all that nonsense?

[@khatdubell]

I believe its called "pulling your leg"

[@peterd788]

If this ridiculous idea is true and I'm certain it isn't the shark it would be jumping is the biggest shark ever seen.

[@ConstableHandsy]

This show is definitely heading for the cliff edge. If it isn’t cancelled by 2026 I will eat my small collection of Quark figurines. Gatwa should never have been allowed anywhere near the programme.

[@JoeFragilé]

Let me find you a good recipe as Quarks tend to Dominate dishes if not used in the correct amount...

[@Benno288]

Yeah no, I'd rather not & I'm hearing that Disney are dropping Doctor Who as well. Toymaker can't come back either, that was the whole deal of the ball game.

[@JoeFragilé]

If NPH says he wants to come back they'll find a way to make it happen. Luckily, you don't have to really deal with Doctor Rose...

Doctor Who ended in 1989. RIP Doctor Who.

[@JoeFragilé]

Once again, no love for Paul McGann and the '96 TV movie! It's shocking!

[@TheTimeProphet]

@@JoeFragilé I have that movie on DVD, but it isn't great. The eye of harmony is NOT inside the TARDIS, it is on Gallifrey under the panopticon. Also why only a human can open it, that is so stupid. This is where the Doctor started kissing people, and the half human crap. Need I go on. Ok I will. The TARDIS winding time back like in Superman II was beyond the pale. McGan himself played the part ok, but it is an awful movie. Also the movie was too Americanised, the biggest crime.

[@JoeFragilé]

It's not a great movie, I agree. I was just amused that you could be so specific as to when Doctor Who died...

[@TheTimeProphet]

@@JoeFragilé It's specific because proper Doctor Who ended in 1989. Anything after that is fan fiction. I watched up to the end of Capaldi, and it isn't something I ever want to re-watch, but I have seen the Pyramids of Mars about 500 times and I can still re-watch it. New Who has no re-watch value at all.
