It’s from Joe, so take it with a pinch of salt, but will be a shame if it’s true. It’s been refreshing to have a happy, more emotional Doctor for a change. Although yes some of the writing has been… Yeah… Still a big improvement on Chibnall’s era, but that’s a pretty low bar.

It should be the showrunners who need to go. Ncuti is not the issue; it’s the infantile, lowest-common-denominator storytelling that is the issue. It needs it’s budget halved, stop making design decisions based on merchandise and a fiery young upstart team to play punk SF with the show. AND in the name of Rassilon, get rid of the sonic screwdriver, somic guitar, somic sumglasses and all that trite nonsense. AND if they need a new Doctor, hire Matt Berry.
Matt Berry - the cocksmith doctor
I agree with all of this, aside from the sonic sunglasses, Capaldi rocked them! Matt Berry would be amazing. Richard Ayoade would be my vote.
Oh, I seriously dislike the smarminess of Matt Berry. Screw you, you’re right, he’d be great.
He doesn’t have the range. He’d be entertaining for an episode or two but it would wear thin very quickly.
He just says TARDIS! and vwoorps on out.
Please BBC, for the love of god… just get some good writers and have Gatwa sit in on the brainstorming sessions.
I get that for the 13th doctor, but Gatwa’s episodes were written by Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat. Why they wrote the second worst doctor is beyond me though.
Last season showed just how hack RTD and Moffat have got (and I say that as a fan of prior work)
I mean come on, Harriet Arbinger?
“The source claimed the series had become poorly managed with longstanding staff feeling ‘cast aside due to poor leadership’.”
Show-runner had issues, left, came back, SURPRISE! Still has issues.
I will be so damn disappointed if they end his run without revisiting the Rogue storyline. The doctor has never given up on someone like that - never. Let alone someone he cared about.
Yes! Rogue should have been the new companion for the next season.
Every year for I don’t know how long there have been the mass assortment of “Jodi is leaving!” “Peter is leaving” along with the “Ratings are horrible, show being cancelled!” and “Show is ending because ______” along with the “Worst season ever” and “Horrible writing, it’s the actor’s fault!” crap ----
He’s not going anywhere for a while.
