Gareth thinks there should only be female assistants of the Doctor… guess K-9 is woke or something, or maybe should’ve been a female computer dog?🙄 What utter reductive nonsense
The BBC has binned its planned Doctor Who Christmas special and put the show 'out to tender'. This is a face-saving TV industry term for saying you've kicked an ailing show into the longest of grass, but don't want to enrage its most rabid fans.
Good luck with that, chaps. Essentially it translates as 'Somebody please, please take this nightmare off our hands'. It’s like one of those Facebook ads you see for a dog that needs rehousing because it barks all night, gnaws on toddlers, and has no control of its bowels, but is a total sweetie, honestly.
If by some bizarre quirk of circumstance I found myself the unwilling owner of the tender, I'd put Doctor Who on ice for at least a decade. Much has been written in the past few days about what happened to poor old Doctor Who, how the thing was revived in glory and then retoxified in shame.
As a former writer on Doctor Who, I was actually in the room when some of the mistakes were made. I offer the following suggestions – in a reflective but constructive spirit – for anybody barmy enough to take the thing on. (And yes, I broke many of these 'rules' myself, but I know better now.)

You think the 8th Doctor is a Geese fan and was misquoting Taxes here?

Saw some people discussing the best regeneration lines and yeah, I'd have to go with "Physician, heal thyself." in Night of the Doctor.

A nazi becoming the first trillionaire off taxpayer subsidies mergers and apartheid mine inheritance isn't an anomaly. It's showing you what the system rewards.

We are very sad to report the passing of Anthony Head, who appeared as Mr Finch in 'School Reunion' in 2006. He was also known by fans for his commentary in #DoctorWho Confidential and the voice of Baltazar in 'The Infinite Quest' ❤️❤️ bbc.in/4uboeIB

Here's a really obscure #DoctorWho thing that will likely be of interest to 12, maybe 13 people. So just like my usual tweets then.
Here are cleaned and restored versions of the photos used for the CSO inlays of the view outside of Dr Who's garage doors in 'Inferno'. (Also a version of the second one with an orange sky in case somebody out there is yearning to remake Episode 6.)
Um... that's it. I told you it was obscure!

I see the covers for "Circuit Breaker" are to be seen online already, so I can finally share my very first (and hopefully not last) cover for the "Doctor Who" comics line! It was such a pleasure to work on. Huge thanks to @jdog_wilkins for the opportunity! VVORP VVORP!
Pre-orders for upcoming comics dropped, so I guess the cat is out of the Tardis. I did a variant cover for the "Doctor Who" comic from Titan! It's part of the latest multi-platform event "Circuit Breaker" and will be out in July! Permission to squee?
