[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 437820, member: 40536"] [HEADING=2]"Doctor Who: BBC Admits Funding Talks for Show’s Future Beyond 2026 Haven’t Even Begun Yet"[/HEADING] Not exactly encouraging An entire new production team needs to be in place. Whoever is next to be the showrunner(s), they need to be cognizant of how badly the show has deteriorated post Moffat/Capaldi, and not repeat the same mistakes Unless there is a streaming partner, the show would seem unlikely to return. The budget that would be necessary is unlikely to be solely allocated by the BBC I don't understand how the Christmas special can introduce a new Doctor, with no plan going forward No actor is likely to agree, if there is an undetermined time for resuming production The story may be something closer to "Dimensions in Time", with only the BBC involved. This is immensely different from the wilderness years At that time, novelizations and audio adventures for the (then) eight Doctors had the opportunity to explore and expand the narrative The Doctors, companions/supporting characters, adversaries etc were written with greater depth and wider range, and it probably influenced TV writers to be more creative IE The book "Human Nature became the basis for an excellent 2 part televised adventure. Now, it is a different landscape Canon is being constantly rewritten, and it is a disaster. There is a huge difference between expanding canon and (wrongly) rewriting it The most intriguing element, however, is that the Toymaker has been interfering with the Doctor's memories (for how long?), indicating that the re-written history is inaccurate, at the very least Past adventures in which the Doctor encountered the Toymaker - "Divided Loyalties" (Book, 5th Doctor), "The Nightmare Fair" (Book/ Canceled Season 23 Story, 6th Doctor) "Magic Mousetrap" (Audio 7th Doctor) and "Solitaire" (Audio, 8th Doctor) - were not referenced in "The Giggle" Were the Doctor's memories erased with reference to those events? These may all be moot points if a new streaming partner decides to reimagine the show from the beginning, and not continue with a 16th Doctor.
