If they brought Tennant back, the logical end-point of his return would be to ensure that he stays in the role for as long as conceivably possible.

He could die in the role...

How's that for poetic justice...?

...And you know how long that c*nt takes to regenerate...

Why not just keep Jodie then since she's essentially playing the Doctor like Tennant anyway.

I'm pretty sure it's utter bollocks dreamed up by some delusional Tennant nuts.

True, but then again, I was utterly baffled when they announced RTD's return, so anything could bloody happen at this rate.

Actually, amidst writing this post, I seem to have abruptly transformed into a Distinguished Third Reich Raleigh Pacifist Death Cult Member, so my weirdo musings are probably best dismissed...

Maybe he could come back as a different Doctor that isn't a mockney twat?

New interview with Russel

Then, of course, there is Doctor Who – in September 2021, it was announced that Davies would return to the BBC sci-fi series he'd previously revamped and relaunched to enormous success 16 years prior. To mark the show's 60th anniversary, he'll once again take up the showrunner post in what is a rare return to previously-trodden ground. "The truth of it is that everyone lies when they leave Doctor Who and says they've moved on," he suggests. "I mean, I've been thinking about it since I was three, so there's no way you stop thinking about it."

Though he's reluctant to discuss his plans too much while his friend, current series boss Chris Chibnall, remains in post, Davies does hint that fans should expect the series to regenerate dramatically in 2023.

"The reason I've worked on 34 programmes in my life is because I don't normally like continuing series. That's why It's A Sin came to an end and I just moved on. I like looking at a new set of challenges every time and a blank page – but Doctor Who is always a blank page.

"There are things coming up that are brand new ways of telling the stories that have never been done before, so it just feels new. I wouldn't go back if it wasn't feeling new. But that's the thing about Doctor Who – every episode is new. Every single episode. I'm sitting here now, 10 pages away from a climax thinking, 'God, I've never written in this territory before – this is strange and new' – so it's always new. It's a self-renewing show."

As per usual. Looks like we were right about The End of Time...

I'm two minutes away from a climax myself. It's going to be explosive, I can promise you that...

Maxil is now reading my thoughts.

Bit slow tonight, chaps. Wakey wakey...
