DOCTOR WHO Showrunner Russell T Davies Confirms Future Christmas Special Plans And Season 14 Episode Count

The more I see Ruby Sunday, the more I think she might actually be Rose Tyler's daughter.

1) Ruby Sunday sounds so much like a stage name or something. It might not be the actual name of the character. Remember that Melody Pond renamed herself River Song so the show isn't shy of hiding a character's true identity and relevance to the mythology.

2) Ruby Sunday is deliberately made to look like Rose Tyler. Millie Gibson doesn't really look like Billie Piper in real life.

3) She looks so young, she could actually BE the daughter of Rose Tyler and the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor.

Always love Dr. Who no matter which version made the Tardis their home. I just don't want another companion to fall in love with the Doctor, at least no time soon. That is why I always enjoyed Donna Noble. She was more of a sister to the Doctor and had no interest in him at all romantically.

I’m happy to finally see promising news about Doctor Who. The past few years have been so disappointing.

"Many fans hope that eventually leads to a movie"

Lolwut? Never heard of any fan wanting a Doctor Who movie after the last one.

I'm about to make a list called "Top 1,000 articles Josh started with "There's a huge amount of excitement about the ...."

Actually no, If you've looked at the ratings for the show recently, as well as the quality of the show itself, including it's incessant need to crap on the history and continuity of everything people have loved all these years, it's a terrible time to be a Doctor Who fan. And I am extremely skeptical it's going to improve.

On the surface reducing the episode count down to 8 per season might seem a bit disappointing but I'm a quality over quantity guy so if that means better storytelling with more well-rounded writing and no filler episodes then that's good news to me!!!

I'm concerned about bringing Tennant back. He's a great actor and it'll be nostalgic but you run a huge risk of angering fans and causing further abandonment of the show. The potential for them to turn it into a 'I want to go' scenario where Tennant's Doctor realizes that he has a responsibility to let change happen, when paired with the Toymaker's potential to mirror the fanbase who disliked change is very worrisome.

It may spike the viewership briefly having all this nostalgia but it's unlikely to continue into the Ncuti era unless the quality of story telling is strong - even so those who are nostalgic will then be comparing the new series to the highlights of what they were nostalgic for, raising the bar of quality needed.

Concerning story, the Timeless Child aspects needs to be erased. It angered way too many of the fanbase, is an insult to the show's IRL legacy and developed lore and it generally contributed nothing other than Jo Martin who was wasted in the role. Until that is gone a lot of people just won't pick up the show again even with Tennant returning.

Ncuti can be a great role, but whoever his PR person is needs to do a really good job because when he's left to his own devices he just rambles on about diversity, representation and inclusion which are neat buzzwords but you need to sell us on your personality, acting skills and you actually caring about the show as opposed to claiming the show was racist before you got here.

Similarly, RTD, the audience understands you'll include social commentary and political stuff like before but maybe tone it down until you've proven you can revive this show from it's utter lack of viewership. The show at the moment is in the apathy stage, even with Tennant showing up the finale of the Jodie Era did not top the lowest viewed of the RTD era. You've got a long way to go to prove you won't just break the show down as your political/social vehicle, especially given that Disney is involved in this.
