NEW COMPANION

Under cut. :)





Apparently she was on Corrie (= Coronation Street) and people say she is v good. Love the dungarees.

(If you are confused, then 'The New Rose' is only there for the Specials - at least as far as we know. Ruby will be Ncuti's new companion.)



ETA: NOW WITH VIDEO:

LOL! And yeah, I'm gonna do an icon this afternoon.

(Don't get me wrong, I love Ten'n'Donna, but this is the FUTURE!)

I love Ten and Donna, too, but they had their time! It's not 2008 anymore, not matter how much certain fans (and maybe people at the BBC?) wish it were. Tate and Tennant's return has taken up so much space and focus and all I want is more info about Gatwa and Gibson!

I found out the story behind the return recently, and it's rather lovely tbh. It IS eating up a lot of space & focus, but otoh it's a bit of a palate cleanser after Chibnall? Remind people how much they loved the show, get them watching Ten'n'Donna do the timewarp, and then hook them on 15 so they keep watching.

*gacks your icon*

As we're doing the 2008 time-warp. ;)

Oh, I get the strategy but that doesn't mean I have to like it...

You're welcome! :)

NEXT YEAR. Ye gods, we're being fed bread crumbs.

Apparently it's all due to the Doctor Who watch-alongs during lockdown. RTD, CT and DT were all watching along to The Runaway Bride and were chatting online, and one of them (David I think) said something about how he'd love to come back, Catherine whole-heartedly agreed and RTD was all 'Well in that case I could probably write something...' and went to the BBC wondering if maybe he would be allowed to do a little Special somewhere, and now here we are. So it's all down for fandom that we have RTD2! (This was in the latest DW Magazine, which I have not bought, but saw I reports.)

Ahh, they're the ones to blame!

That doesn't surprise me at all. A large portion of DW fandom would like to pretend the years between 2008 and 2021 never happened.

LOL! They're so pleased. :)

Ah, but it's SO FUNNY because it's the absolute perfect example of 'Be careful what you wish for'.

That part, at least, is true. So very, very true.
