At least according to the latest rumours. Apparently Toby Stephens was, but the Beeb who still have control forced RTD to go with Ncutti. I have trouble believing this as Toby is a white man LOL. Still these are apparently RTD's ground breaking ideas for a DW shared universe. Torchwood, again, with John Barrowman back in the lead, but this is a spin off of Torchwood. A show with Ace and K9 fighting monsters in modern day earth (basically just the SJA but with Ace.) A Rose Tyler spin off. And an animated DW aimed at kids with McCoy or McGann. I am slightly interested in the bottom one, but not if it's just the same Big Finish hacks who'll try and link it with the new one in every possible way, but having a Master that wants to shag the Doctor with drums in his head, gender bending time lords, the time war and all that shit. Still that other stuff sounds painfully unoriginal and sadly believable. To quote Supernatural "You're an old dog and that's your old trick." DW rumours |

Whether the Toby Stephens thing is true or not, the same myopic identity politics obsessives who bullied Moffat into doing what he did and hired Chibnall for his compliance are still in charge at the BBC. On top of that, Davies is enough of a true believer that I can't imagine him putting up any resistance to identitarian BBC casting directives even if it meant he were forced to change some of his plans.
Fundamentally, it's a question of trust, and I have zero faith in any of the people working on this show to treat it as anything but a propaganda vehicle to force their unhinged dogma down the throats of an unwilling public.

It's somewhat believable given RTD's past casting choices.
He first approached Hugh Grant for the Ninth, then cast Christopher Eccleston.
David Tennant was definitely an RTD choice.
So, if anything, I think RTD's history shows he prefers to cast ladies-men for the role of The Doctor.

All true, but nobody call it left-wing. This cancer lies entirely at the doorstep of liberalism. |

I'm not sure I trust Doomcock anymore than Davies and company. Most of the stuff he comes out with is bs.

Remember how many videos that Doomcock has made claiming that Kathleen Kennedy was apparently fired, retrenched, retired, and transferred to another role dozens of times over given his repeat reports of the Disney-Lucasarts regime?
I trust nothing he says.

I don't even know who he is to be fair LOL. Looking back on it I'm not sure that the beeb would approve an Ace spin off show given their hatred of the McCoy era.

Bit miffed if that's true. Toby Stephens would've been a really good choice.

I don't think it is. I think RTD got exactly the young yes man boy toy he was after.

Apparently the prospect of 40 years of Thatcherism ending and some mild social democracy in its place was too much for them. See every blue tick celeb, The Guardian, The New Statesman, the f*cking BBC, every famous comedian, every Lib Dem, most Labour MP's .
Liberals are nothing but fascists that want everyone to think they're nice.

Absolutely. Complete fascist enablers, I've currently come to hate Liberals/Moderates/Centrists etc more than I hate the Tories(whom I have a lifetime worth of contempt for), which is some achievement. At least the Tories don't pretend to be anything other than contemptible corrupt bastards. There's little to distinguish Liberals from Neoliberalism considering they are prepared to go all out in order to defend the Neoliberal consensus brought in via Thatcherism. I currently lump the supine spineless Labour Party into that Liberals/Moderates/Centrist bracket and see them as little more than scum too. |
