[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 439834, member: 40536"] There were rumors of a major announcement, but nothing has happened Only new development is a multi-platform project with Jo Martin, something no one cares about. (or at least no one who is a real fan) Now to be clear, I have nothing against Jo Martin. She was a better performer than JW (not a high bar), and probably better than NG. But the Fugitive Doctor makes no sense. In theory her "Doctor" could have been a bigeneration from Patrick Troughton post "War Games" or Paul McGann post "Night of the Doctor" (A regeneration on an all female planet with a life sustaining liquid developed on that planet) But she could not have predated William Hartnell, since it has been clearly established that WH departed Gallifrey in a Type 40 Tardis with Susan. JM's Doctor contradicts that established fact - no Susan. She could not have encountered any number of the Doctor's best known adversaries, since he was meeting them for the first time in the classic series (Except possibly for the Cybermen and the Toymaker could have been known to the Hartnell Doctor, but that is another speculative matter) "The Five Doctors" The First Doctor clearly states that there are 5 Tom Baker' 4th Doctor returns to Gallifrey and the Master is in his final body, the 12th regeneration This clearly indicates that Tom Baker is the 4th Doctor, and it supercedes events in the previous season's "The Brain of Morbius" The faces are not past Doctors (although they could be future Doctors), or incarnations of Morbius Reinforced that Clara saw all the Doctor's past selves, including the Doctor's initial flight from Gallifrey, with Susan It also makes no sense that the Doctor returned to Gallifrey numerous times, was on trial at least 4 times, and yet a Fugitive Doctor is out there for 14 incarnations? Longer than the combined lifespan of all Doctors. That is Chibnall. False origin story, identity politics, complete disregard for the show's cannon. At this point, still no news for the Christmas special casting. BBC probably needs a streaming partner, but after the fiasco with Disney, I don't know how enthused other entities are. It is likely that they would want creative control and/or the back catalogue, at least in part. Not exactly a strong bargaining position [/QUOTE]
