One thing I find interesting: Billie isn’t credited as “the Doctor”. Usually the credit for a new doctor goes “And introducing Actor as the doctor”.
And I can’t figure out why? She is as far as we can tell the next doctor (unless thy throw a curveball and she actually is the Valeyard or something) so why not credit her as such?
This article on the official site does absolutely nothing to clarify the situation.
Speaking of her return, Billie said: “It’s no secret how much I love this show, and I have always said I would love to return to the Whoniverse as I have some of my best memories there, so to be given the opportunity to step back on that TARDIS one more time was just something I couldn’t refuse, but who, how, why and when, you’ll just have to wait and see.”

@Vittelius @ValueSubtracted Maybe they’re being vague because the show’s future is up in the air right now
The Disney deal may be up in the air, but I’m genuinely not concerned about the show’s future.
@ValueSubtracted I’m well aware that the show will live beyond Disney. But they also haven’t started the next era yet so that is a bit concerning.
A gap is inevitable, for sure.
But RTD has been talking about actively writing season three scripts for quite some time, so maybe it won’t be too bad.
