hopefully this will be more like revival series 1 & 2. when he'd had a long time to think of what he wanted to do. and not like the later series drop-off when I think the pressure of deadlines to get enough episodes out weighed on him.

CommonShore posted:Rtd returning will be bad if he tries just to go back to his earlier work. It will be good if he has moved forward and brings new ideas. I feel like he's definitely grown in the time since leaving; Children of Earth was done while leaving Who, It's A Sin was great, and I've heard the other stuff was alright. But yeah, like Confusedslight said, kinda sucks that we definitely won't be getting Eccleston back anytime soon after the quasi-détente (at least from recent reports, which kinda boil down to "he ended up hating everyone on the production side and also Barrowman") 99 CENTS AMIGO fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Sep 24, 2021 |

Again, looking at It's A Sin, Years and Years, A British Scandal... they're all so different from one another, it's exciting to think what he could be doing that feels different from his previous Who work.

Time really does feel a bit ( I'm sorry!) Wibbly wobbly. Listening to 9 on big finish last year was one of the only good things to come of 2020. Felt like I was 10 again again and all was well. And now the same show runner coming back is kinda breaking my brain. Will it be good? Who knows. Going to have to get there the long way around. Hope we all make it to then!

This would be a very safe choice i.e. 'give the job to the bloke who did it most successfully in the last 20 years' If it weren't for the fact we now know as showrunner he was unaware/turned a blind eye to bullying and sex pesting . There's also an element of trying to capture lighting in the bottle.

Ehhhh reading between the lines it seems like Eccleston had trouble with the general atmosphere and vibe of the production, and RTD was definitely a part of that. And, like, that's fair, because RTD really shouldn't have been turning a blind eye to Barrowman sexually harrassing/assaulting people.

I want to be thrilled about RTD coming back, but I've seen to many instances of creators returning to franchises that turn out badly to get too excited. I'm positive it'll be better than Chibnall, though.

For me, RTD hit 4/4 out of his series, while Moff was 2/6, and Chibs was ... well. So I'm stoked at RTD coming back.

The report makes it sound like the first ep of RTD2 is going to be the 60th anniversary story. So hopefully that's at least one Jodie appearance.

I feel like the highs weren't as high under RTD and the lows were on the same level as Moffat. But RTD era was more consistent which isn't necessarily a bad thing if it's consistently enjoyable. The weakness of RTD is he wasn't great at going big with the show. OTOH, I wouldn't might a bit more goofiness and camp in Doctor Who than we've been getting since he left. In conclusion, RTD is a land of contrasts.

I always felt that RTD's stories were really lacking, but holy poo poo, he could knock it out of the park when it came to character interactions and character dynamics. That's why the best of RTD's tenure were the Moffat episodes. Moffat could write some drat good stories when he was properly restrained. RTD's character direction and Moffat's stories gave us "The Empty Child", "Blink", and "The Girl in the Fireplace". I'm excited to see a return to RTD directing. I just hopes he gets a good stable of writers.

Has RTD learned to control the desire to make everything a soap opera? The past few showrunners, hit or miss, have put a lot of focus on making things feel alien or like something normal that aliens have inhabited. RTD's old run was watching an The Doctor integrate into Earth to get away from his sad, and most societies were either Earth-like or being actively hosed up by spacefaring humans. Like honestly I don't know why Ten still liked humans after seeing them gently caress up the future as much as they did. His run is full of idiot power-hungry humans who seem just as evil as Rassilon.

I wonder how long it is before Rusty talks Moff into writing something. They’re constantly on each other’s Instagram comments, so clearly still good mates. Hopefully there’s not too much expectation of a new golden age now that ding dong the chib is dead. The_Doctor fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Sep 24, 2021 |

Hahaha, you gotta be loving kidding me. The Beeb must be loving desperate. Big nope from me, if they were going to bring back a person who'd run the show previously it should've been Philip Hinchcliffe. Not interested in seeing NuWho with RTD2, because he's just going to trot out his greatest hits again. Thanks but no thanks.

Eccleston said that his relationship with RTD completely broke down during the making of his sole series as the Doctor, and that the rift he has with the BBC still hasn't healed. Given that RTD will once again be running the series for the BBC, I think it's safe to assume he's not going to do anything DW outside of Big Finish.

RTD coming back really does open up a lot of questions that I don't think will be answered any time soon. Are the BBC that desperate for a safe pair of hands (regardless of recent critical reactions, have the viewing figures/revenue generated wordlwide significantly dropped over the course of the last two series?) or was there a dearth of willing candidates to take up the role? That being said, I still quite like RTD and am looking forward to seeing what he comes up with.

RTD's run got really stale by the end so hopefully he'll be able to take a fresh look at the show when he comes back. Basically I want the guy who wrote It's a Sin to be in charge, not the guy who wrote The End of Time.

If Moffat was returning as showrunner, I'd go, "Hell, no!" before sighing and agreeing that it had to be better than Chibnall. But if he came back to write a stand alone episode a season or two in, I'd be pretty interested in that.

And thanks to Moffat introducing "The Curator", RTD has a ready-made excuse to just hire Tennant again for the Doctor's next regeneration; just revisiting the favorite old faces again. *sigh*

Davies COULD bring back Tennant for a miniseries or something special, it would be extremely popular, which is something you want, especially relaunching a show. BUT I don't think he'd pass up launching a new version of the Doctor with a new actor.
