DanaK January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 I figured I would create this now since there are a ton of rumors right now on various casting and some valid sources saying shooting for the 60th anniversary in the Spring. So here we go on stuff that's likely valid all the way to wild rumors Some likely valid stuff: Some industry sources and Reddit and Gallifrey Base posters have indicated that shooting on the 60th Anniversary special and possibly Series 14 will start this Spring. The Reddit poster TomeDeaf who has gotten various things right about Series 13 has indicated shooting will start in May and a Gallifrey Base poster I generally trust, lets call him RS, says shooting will start on Monday May 2 and that an announcement of the new Doctor should come at some point after the broadcast of the Legend of the Sea Devils special in April and the beginning of May. Reddit's TomeDeaf indicated they initially heard there would be an announcement in January of the new Doctor but believes now that the announcement is further off now but before May Reddit's TomeDeaf has indicated the 60th anniversary will be composed of 3 specials to play out over a short amount of time, either a 3 nights in a row thing or on the 60th Anniversary, Christmas and New Year's Day, but the timing really isn't clear at this point. The poster also said Series 14 will be composed of 8 episodes There are various reports that producer Phil Collinson has returned to help produce the show. Reddit's TomeDeaf has indicated that Scott Handcock has left Big Finish and will be Davies' assistant script editor As for wild rumors, there are all kinds of rumors (and that's even been reported on TV news programs) that David Tennant will be returning for at least the 60th Anniversary special (or specials) with some rumors saying as 10, some as a variation of 10 and some saying as the 14th Doctor for the special(s) who will then regenerate into the 15th Doctor for Series 14 and beyond. At the very least, it's quite possible and believable we'll see David in the 60th as the 10th Doctor, but beyond that, it's a crazy hash of wild rumors that is hard to parse. There are also rumors that Catherine Tate, who played Donna, will return for the 60th, though some rumors say she won't be Donna, but again, wild rumors that are hard to parse 1 4 Link to comment

JustHereForFood February 2, 2022 Share February 2, 2022 It just occurred to me: If the last episode of Chibnall's run airs in Autumn this years and RTD's run starts with the anniversary, that means there will be no Special in next Christmas season! That would be the first for New Who! I hope that's not the case, I need it for my Christmas 😢. Link to comment

I hope the BBC does something Who-related for Christmas or New Years' Day, even a non-fiction special or reunion of various people would be nice Radio Times interview with Russell Davies.

gonzosgirrl April 19, 2022 Share April 19, 2022 ETA: Now that I've typed that out, I realize I can't recall if 'we' always knew who the Doctor was going to regenerate into before the episode aired. I only started watching in the New Who era (with 9), and he had already regenerated into 10 by then (it was discovering David Tennant in something else that spurred me to watch Who). So was it ever a surprise? Link to comment
Maren April 19, 2022 Share April 19, 2022 I don't think it was ever a surprise. I can't remember exactly for Tennant but Matt, Peter, and Jodie were all announced before they aired. I am so hoping they cast someone good. I really miss being excited about Who. Haven't felt like that since Jodie and Chris took over. 5 Link to comment

He played both roles pretty similar IIRC. Link to comment

She has got an enormous finale, an epic finale, a 90-minute finale in October. So we are polite gentlemen. It is only right and fair to shut up. “2023 you will be fed up of us. We will be ready by then. Until then we bow to Jodie. We love her.” 3 Link to comment

A lot of odd and careful language, plus Davies throwing out all kinds of possibilities as to how David and Catherine return. I think they are trying to hide for now exactly what shape the 60th anniversary will take, whether it’s one or three specials (rumors have said the latter) or whether there will be minisodes as well 1 Link to comment

DanaK May 16, 2022 Author Share May 16, 2022 (edited) Yasmin Finney from the Netflix "Heartstoppers" series has posted a cryptic post that seems to be Doctor Who related, possibly suggesting she'll be playing a character named Rose for the 60th anniversary filming. Plus, Davies left a comment saying "Doctor Who's own Heartstopper". There was an earlier casting call for someone to play a young transwoman named Rose so this might be about her, as she herself is a transwoman https://www.instagram.com/p/CdoGPj6IILH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Edited May 16, 2022 by DanaK Link to comment

Sakura12 May 16, 2022 Share May 16, 2022 Another Rose. Of course I've read theories that this Rose could be Donna's daughter, since last we saw her she got married. It's a time travel show so time doesn't matter in regards to her age. I like this theory rather then it being an variant Rose (to borrow from the MCU). Or she could just be another character named Rose. 4 Link to comment

DanaK June 7, 2022 Author Share June 7, 2022 (edited) A white bunny-like alien looking figure was sighted on set during filming. There are fans who think this may be Meep the Beep, a cute looking though vicious alien from a Doctor Who comic, but this hasn’t been verified. If true though, it means Davies would be adapting a comic book story for at least part of the 60th, which would be a first for the show. There’s another bug like alien sighted on set as well that some think may be Wrath Warriors, also from the comics, also unverified Doctor Who Wiki on Meep https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Beep Edited June 7, 2022 by DanaK Link to comment
