I'm no longer invested enough in NuWho to truly care, but I'm very curious to see how this plays out. RTD famously said that he'd only ever come back if the show was on the brink of collapse, making this a tacit acknowledgement from the BBC that the Chibnall era has been a disaster. This isn't just a change of head writer either, the entire show is being outsourced to RTD's private production company, which in effect means that every single person currently involved is being fired. It'll be interesting to see if he's able to recapture the wider public and the many disillusioned NuWho fans for whom retconning out the Timeless Child bullshit is a prerequisite for them returning. Beyond a sense of vindication at the tacit admission of defeat, I don't have any strong feelings about this. I'm just curious to see whether he'll be able to take the single worst show in the history of television and turn it into something that normal, sane people might actually want to watch. I don't get the arrogance of fans who think that just because they didn't like a storyline it should be 'retconned' out. Incredible sense of arrogance and pomposity.

So glad to hear that you enjoyed the half-human revelation and snogging Doctors in the TVMovie Rani. See, I always knew you were really a closet McGann fan all these years but were just too shy to nail your colours to the mast!

McGann is a great Doctor, I've always liked him, but that doesn't mean I like the half-human nonsense. However I still don't demand it is retconned so I can sleep at night. However, great to see you approve of a lothario braggart Doctor despite your earlier tantrums.

Davies previously stated:
"It'll be like coming back to a job I did 10 years ago, wouldn't it? Who would do that?"
"Really, think about it. Go back to the job you had 13 years ago. Or go back to your old school. Walk in, say hello, take your old seat. And start giving instructions! Watch everyone's faces. Shortly before they call the police. Move on! And besides. Why look back? The future is golden."
Bullshitter.

He also said he'd only ever come back if the show was on the verge of collapse. Tee hee, chuckle guffaw titter.

Not as arrogant as the guys who thought they could rewrite and smash up 60 years of canon and history to make themselves look good to a bunch of online blue haired morons?

I think RTD's champions are in for a big disappointment...

He's gone back on himself solely because the production team clearly offered him shit loads of money in response. This is hilarious!

If he does, I'll be very impressed, but who's to say at the moment? With the luck of Who fandom, he might well rise to the challenge, mind you.

LOOK WHAT THIS c*nt DID! He allowed sexual harassment on set, including a well documented flasher, turned a blind eye to bullying, forcing out the lead actor, and injected the early woke crap into the show which got us into this mess in the first place. And let's not foget, HIS STORIES ARE ALL SHIT!

He and Chibbers are great friends. Who knows maybe he is taking the fall for Chibbers. Remember the small alternate eighth Doctor regeneration story he did for the 50th? He released it in 2020 and it actually helped put me at ease with the timeless child thing....explaining away that a Dalek weapon used multiple versions and histories of Gallifrey and Earth like four-dimensional 'bullets'. If he can bring something of that description to the 60th, it would be a sufficient fix. All stories are true, but so is the multiverse...perhaps he could adjust the meaning of the narrative so that there are 'timeless' versions of classic incarnations?
