Depends what you describe as the 'modern era'. I generally class 'modern Who' as starting with Eccleston in 2005. That season started at Easter, as did every season after it, for years. There was a brief experiment with an autumn airdate during Moffat's era, and the show only moved to autumn on a more ongoing basis with Chibnall, so very recently indeed. May is more like the traditional scheduling that we had for the first decade of the reboot. 5 Link to comment

At least in 2005 there had been a 16 year hiatus. Now it's just extremely arbitrary. But the trailer looks fun at least. Edit: Just noticed that there is a scene with Rose at Unit. Does that mean we'll see Donna and 10/14 again this season? Edited December 26, 2023 by PurpleTentacle Link to comment

DanaK January 19 Author Share January 19 (edited) The Mirror’s Nicola Methven is reporting that Millie Gibson is exiting as full time companion Ruby after Season 1 and will only be in a handful of episodes in Season 2. The article says the new full time companion in Season 2 will be Verada Seethu. There’s been no official comment by the BBC, Bad Wolf or Russell Davies, so consider it unconfirmed at the moment https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/doctor-who-companion-millie-gibson-31924485 Edited January 19 by DanaK 1 Link to comment
HauntedBathroom January 20 Share January 20 It's a shame if it's true, as found I Millie very likeable in her first episode, but this is nothing new. RTD always shakes the main cast up per season, and he's said it's an instant viewer grabber. 1 Link to comment
DanaK March 14 Author Share March 14 (edited) Showrunner Davies hinting something Doctor Who-related for tomorrow on his IG a few minutes ago.

DanaK March 15 Author Share March 15 https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/doctor-who-bbc-confirm-release-date-and-iplayer-premiere-in-uk New season will premiere May 11 on BBC One with 2 episodes, but will be available on iPlayer in the UK and on Disney+ at midnight UK time. So they finally pulled the trigger on streaming first for the show and U.S Disney+ viewers and UK iPlayer viewers will see it before BBC linear viewers Per the Doctor Who Twitter account, same time everywhere on streaming 1 Link to comment

I agree! Or it tends to be a bit depressing. I liked Amy and Rory fine but some of their storylines were really quite sad and depressing. RTD does more campy stuff and DW needs some camp if you ask me. He had some tragic things happened to his characters too but at least the journey to get there is more light-hearted. I wouldn't say S5 & S6 were bad but some of it was pretty gloomy. 1 Link to comment

RTD loves him some melodrama, but all of his companions left the TARDIS alive. Not a single one of Moffat's companions did. He found clever ways to cheat and undercut those deaths, but nonetheless every one of his companions died, in the end, in some way or other. Some of them more than once. I much prefer it when a companion's time on the show sees them learn and grow, and then they leave of their own volition, because that's what's right for them at that point in time. Which is where Chibnall scored points! Three out of four of his companions chose to leave the TARDIS, and the one that didn't still walked away alive and well. Fingers crossed for the new series. Looking forward to it, I hope it is good! Thanks for posting the trailer, @DanaK 3 1 Link to comment

Some of them more than once. Yes, this is precisely my point. RTD does some cheesy things like unrequited love stories like with Martha but I could still tolerate that. I disliked how all of Moffat's companions met such a sad and tragic end. And no, it doesn't make it better when they are not even human anymore because that's what they were originally. RTD is also better at making the companions flawed but still likeable. Moffat's companions were all tragic heroes. I couldn't fully get into Chibnall's to comment on his companions but glad to hear they were not tragic heroes like Moffat's companions. Edited March 25 by waving feather 1 1 Link to comment

DanaK April 13 Author Share April 13 Just an FYI with a new season coming up, I conferred with a couple of mods on how to designate episode titles (ie the S01.E01 part) since the new season is starting with Season 1. For the moment, it looks like the best choice to reduce confusion and problems sharing space with existing episode titles is to go with something like "S01.E01 (BBC/Disney+): Ep Title", so for example, S01.E01 (BBC/Disney+): Space Babies. This will especially help if we're all still around when they get to Season 8 given the board starts with Series 8 episodes, and if a future showrunner decides to start with Season 1 or Series 1 again. If anyone has thoughts or suggestions on something else you think might work better, please say so Link to comment
