New Writers

[zarius]

The new series of Doctor Who will feature an episode co-written by writing duo Kate Herron and Briony Redman, which will air once Ncuti Gatwa takes control of the TARDIS as the Fifteenth Doctor.

Both writers have made their mark as creatives, Kate as the Executive Producer and director of the entirety of series one of the popular Marvel Studio’s series LOKI, as well as directing on the critically acclaimed series SEX EDUCATION.

Briony is an actor, comedian and BAFTA Rocliffe winning writer, whose work includes the Welsh crime-comedy PONT BREC with Damian Evans, and the award-winning short film FORGET-ME-NOT, which screened across film festivals internationally.
The pair have collaborated on a range of work together including their comic, THE STORKENING, as well as TV and film projects including the sci-fi MISS UNIVERSE and the acclaimed short film SMEAR.

Now they have teamed up once more to take viewers on an unforgettable adventure in the new series of Doctor Who.

Kate Herron said:

“Clearly I can’t get enough of time travel. It is an absolute honour to write for Russell and Ncuti. We had so much fun and can’t wait for you all to see it.”
“As a big fan of Doctor Who and Russell T Davies, it’s been a dream to write on this show.”

Doctor Who Showrunner, Russell T Davies said:

“This is when I absolutely love my job. Working with the stellar talents of Kate and Briony makes my whole world bigger and brighter, and a lot more fun. I was a huge fan of Loki and reached out to Kate to say so - she then introduced me to Briony, and it was all systems go! They've written a wonderful script which created unique challenges for cast and crew alike. The end result is gorgeous and thrilling and scary, and not like any other episode of Doctor Who.”

Didn't Russell slag off Loki for not having proper representation? I'm not trying to rain on these people's parade I'm just surprised. Whatever the case I think this shows Russell trying to capture the Marvel feel, which may work for him or may not. His first era went for that. As far as I'm concerned, RTD era Doctor Who is the step series of John Sempers 90s Spider-Man show.

You reckon Rose ever met with Mary Jane somewhere in multiverse limbo off-screen during series four when she was hopping from world to world?

And what if they are? You're gay, aren't you..?

[iank]

Never heard of them. Working on Marvel projects is not exactly a recommendation, esp these days.

[RobFilth]

Dunno why they can't just employ some decent writers like some of those who work on 2000AD instead.

Screw Marvel, it's shit.

Russel confirmed their story is the sixth episode in Ncuti's first year. It's set in the regency era

LOL I hope not as it's a depressing idea that Mary Jane was trapped in there for 10 years. I'd like to think that Madame Web rescued her like she said she would. 

It is funny to think though that as the DW multiverse is linked to the Marvel one (if you go by the old comics which had a crossover.) Then Spider-Man saved the Tenth Doctor in 1998 by stopping Spider-Carnage and the Tenth Doctor saved Spider-Man in 2008 from the reality bomb LOL. 

Those dastardly Daleks and Symbiotes. It's amazing we have a multiverse with them around. To be fair Venom may have bumped into the Daleks and Cybermen still floating around in the void.

Symbiotes operating Dalek casings instead of mutated Kaled embryos!

Or imagine the Carnage Symbiote bonded to Davros! The ultimate in crazy.
