NEW WRITERS CONFIRMED FOR SEASON 2! Doctor Who News!

[@pty7968]

The abysmal decline over the last decade has been heartbreaking.

[@AaronSutherland-kv7os]

So...the BBC has hired Juno Dawson who has a section in one of their CHILDRENS books instructing on "How Sex App Work" complete with bullet points saying to download the app which tells them where they can find local people then chat to them then meet up with them! I can't condone an organisation who would hire such an individual. Accept this is not about Dr Who anymore.

[@hilariebz]

Juno Dawson is the only author whose Kindle book I returned to Amazon.

[@Farsight-nc1ib]

Juno Dawson? A writer who had her work banned from being reas in schools, it was so inappropriate? This person should not be writing for a show watched by kids. Very questionable judgment by Davies.

[@lorrainesheridan496]

Look at the bios on the new writers. I hope they understand the soul of Who.

[@jonylawson73]

Juno Dawson ??? 😅😅 Because she's trans ..that's it . Are you kidding me ? All those brilliant talents that have been overlooked Jesus what is wrong with RTD .....we get it mate

[@di7770]

She's written multiple pieces of Doctor Who/Torchwood stories for the Expanded Media so don't be so melodramatic.

@YouMissed2025 I disagree. The Capaldi era was pretty good. The Chibnall era was the real decline. I still think Matt Smith waa the best modern Doctor.

I just want great stories again, really doesn't matter to me what they look like. Hope you are doing better mentally now.

[@RogerOThornhill]

Only a tiny amount of episodes this season and the blow one of them on the writer of Kerblam?

[@joelmole3157]

Who knows? Now that Chibnall isn't watching over him anymore, he could be good. He did write those Collection Boxset announcement videos

[@friendlyotaku9525]

He's written a lot more than that one episode.

[@davidblyth6886]

​​@@friendlyotaku9525hes very likely being groomed to be RTDs successor as showrunner given his co exec job on the spin off

[@brewster_4]

The guy who wrote Love and Monsters also wrote Parting of the Ways. One episode is hardly demonstrative of a writer's entire ability.

[@horrorstew3577]

You all MARKS!! Its CANCELLED!! Bad Wolf Studios just dismantled the TARDIS set and started actively looking for work with other production companies 😂😂 The Woke is DONE Common sense has Won I hope this version of DrWho rots

[@ThomasCostigan]

Why are people calling Juno she? Hes clearly a bloke.

[@MrJ.Smith1234]

I mean I'm not a fan of McTighe but I think under a better showrunner, he might produce a good episode. Overall though I'm glad we're getting new writers and new ideas, they might turn out to be bad but I'd rather see something different than something rehashed.

[@robalexander8065]

@MrJ.Smith1234 A fair analysis. Agree, something fresh (that may or may not work) is at least worth a punt. "Same old, same old" RTD/Moffat needed to take a back seat. I can appreciate RTD wanted a "safe pair of hands" on board to relaunch the series but good to see a more mixed writers room overall.

[@MrJ.Smith1234]

​@robalexander8065 Don't get me wrong, I loved RTD and Moffat during Russell's first era. RTD had a clear direction for Doctor Who and Moffat contributed some classic Episodes. I honestly think that's wear the pair peaked as writers IMO. But of course that was over 15 years ago and now with Russell rehashing previous ideas and refusing to answer plot holes, I think it shows a clear tiredness in the writing. And if we see a difference in the quality of Doctor Who next season with new writers, then I guess we'll have an answer to how to revitalize Doctor Who.

[@deanc8458]

Alright, now I’m thinking the UNIT episode weve seen with Ruby is going to tie into TWBTLATS (TERRIBLE NAME!) and it will be the episode written by Pete McTighe as suggested by DWFL’s previous leaks

[@brewster_4]

Do you think Ruby will appear in the War Between the Land and the Sea?

[@DWboy14]

[@francisorielly9698]

Tharries' like the song says 'let it go.' Are you one of these people that will accept and buy any trash as long as as it has the DW logo on it. Of you thought the ratings were nad for ladt season and Christmas so-called special (no fusgong the figures can cover) then you ain't seen anything yet. How can you appreciate the classic show (deservingly so) but heap praise on this OTT 'Woke shite. The show is dead in its current form. Please return properly to rhe fold and stop embarrassing yourself. Let's hear you talk about the classic boxsets, not this rubbish.

[@jnielson1121]

Hooraaay!! Tharries is back :D

[@TIDELINERUNNERS]

Inua Ellams is probably my favourite playwright working in the UK right now. His poetry collection The Actual is top-notch too.

[@martinwood744]

As season 2 was pretty much in the can before season 2 aired, I don't know that issues with s1 can be said to be "addressed". Still-looking forward to it.

[@Faction.Paradox]

Not a fan of Peter Mctighe's Who so far but the rest have me excited. Much needed new blood & Juno finally getting her due after orbiting the show for so long

[@thekandyman.]

This might sound weird but I'm most excited for the mctighe episode, given he's writing the war between

[@mrdoctorgilmore]

Cautiously optimistic, glad to see some new younger writers to hopefully give us a fresh spin, something the show is struggling with under the same small pool of writers, like it only struck me recently that off the top of my head, I can only think of two other non-white writers, for the show at least, both of which had to share at least one script with Chibnall so it's alot more underrepresented than the rage baiters would pretend. Also nice to have some from expanded media make their way onto the show. McTighe is the one I'm most mixed on, he's not terrible, love his box set trailers and Praxeus is pretty good once I got over the lack of sea devils, Kerblam was undermined by it's messy ending a lack of a clear stance on it's subject matter, something I hope he's learned from. Would've preferred maybe Wilkinson or Patel back.

[@lant7123]

Glad to have you back, Tharries! Be well!

[@KillerMoff13]

Sounds promising. Barbershop Chronicles was awesome. With Juno I’m excited to finally see one of the non tv writers get promoted

I'm so sorry. I'm so very sorry.

I know you love Dr Who, so I thought I'd let you know so you could find out the details for yourself. I'm not trolling and I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Good luck Tharries.

[@hada__02]

Very happy to see Juno Dawson on board for the main show! But if I had to pick any Chibnall era writer to bring back, I’m not sure I’d pick McTighe. I’m still hoping for Maxine Alderton to come back at some point edit* but honestly it’s also just nice to have some more fresh writers for the show, and I’m excited to see what they do

That kilt is awful....I hate it so much why do they need to push a narrative the majority don't want. What happened to the good writting..😢

[@robalexander8065]

"Good writting"?? The irony!

[@di7770]

Your issue lies with the Wardrobe department not with the writing. Also I assume you think he's in drag, unfortunately you've ruined that point by saying Kilt, something Men having been wearing for hundreds of years. Unless Ncuti/RTD has some long term plan to make you wear a dress, I think you are being a bit of a drama queen, Ncuti was raised in Scotland and therefore likes wearing them no big deal, I doubt they care if you prefer trousers. Also remember Jamie, this costume piece ain't new.

[@_MyNameIsAJ_]

Saw Pete McTighe was writing an episode and audibly sighed we're so screwed

[@Sparx632]

Nah, got to think positive. Even if his episode is trash that doesn’t mean anything really, even Series 1 and 4 have some duds.

[@friendlyotaku9525]

not really, he wrote the fantastic collection minisodes and imo the best episode of Tales of the TARDIS. I also think Praxeus is pretty underrated and Kerblam! is enjoyable UNTIL the ending which does let it down a little.

[@TomoBakerinio]

I think he has the potential. There was a lot of things he had to do a lot for Series 11, write a female doctor, write 3 companions and introduce new people. CC helped him write Praxeus but it didn't really turn out to be a coherent story.

[@davidjbrewer3313]

Can't speak to the writers I don't know, but excited to see what Juno brings, and what McTighe can do now a few more years have passed. He's an enthusiastic fan of the show and a solid writer who is unfairly maligned in my view. His style and outlook actually reminds me a bit of Mark Gatiss, and I think some of his detractors may be pleasantly surprised.

I think Kerblam is an alright episode of not for the ending. It actually felt like Doctor Who for the first two thirds.

I'm so confused about what RTD meant when he said "it'll be sooner than you think" because although it hasn't been long, we should have a release date and / or trailer before the end of January or his statement is a bit false

[@friendlyotaku9525]

Not necessarily since it is possible the series will air in late March or early April so there's plenty of time.

[@smallpixl]

@friendlyotaku9525 if it's coming out march/April, you'd expect an announcement by now not a month before...

[@friendlyotaku9525]

@ With most series' the airdate is announced closer to transmission. There's a reason they didn't say when in 2025 the series is coming, I think the aim is for earlier than Season 1 but they can't guarantee it, they need to make sure it will be ready in time and when they know it is I'm confident they'll let us know when it's gonna be!

Like McTighe, though as Tharries says his work for the Jodie era isn't his best. The others are unproven in terms of the main show but I can appreciate they were brought in to give the main cast a "truer voice". RTD is very aware of the need to reflect the main protagonists in his drama with culturally appropriate dialogue. Is Juno Dawson likely to be writing an episode featuring the return of Donna's Rose? At least RTD is writing fewer episodes.
