And there will be no Christmas special this year, but the show will return, presumably in 2027 or later.
I have mixed feelings. RTD was the man who brought the Doctor back to life more than 20 years ago. He and his team were brilliant. And that was my introduction to the Doctor; I never got into the series in the 20th Century.
But the previous two seasons, with Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor, didn’t work for me. Nor did Jodi Whittaker’s seasons, nor Peter Capaldi’s overall, though he did have some excellent episodes and arcs. The last Doctor I loved was Matt Smith, and he left the show in 2014.
I’m ready to give the show a good long rest. But I’ll give it another try when it returns.
