Watch Netflix pick it up. I can’t understand how Dr Who isn’t profitable (enough) for the BBC to pump out yearly series. The TARDIS used to print money when Eccleston, Tennant, and Smith flew the blue box. It’s been pretty bad since.
If it were up to me, I’d give the role to norespawns. British guy. YouTuber, mainly does Fallout videos. Very distinct look. But I’d probably run it into the ground. I’d get the guy who does Black Mirror to write the episodes. Maybe bring Jordan Peele in. American, I think, but I like his style.
Yeah, the thing to watch now is the BBC opportunities page where their public tenders are announced. Until production of future Doctor Who seasons show up there, interested parties can’t even pitch or submit a preliminary budget. And only then do we have a ballpark idea of the timeframe — assuming it goes like a recent tender for the hospital drama Casualty.
I believe it’s a projection from the latter that has given the guesstimate that Who could be back on screen in 2028 at the earliest? I’m not sure that production will be quite as fast considering the amount of visual effects required for Doctor Who, but I’m optimistic 🙂
