    If the new Rose character is Donna's daughter and then becomes 14's companion I will be so happy! I think that would be a great way to tie a bow on Donna's story. She might not be able to remember her time with The Doctor, but her daughter would get to experience the same happiness she did during her time in the TARDIS.

    I really think the play for RTD here is to do a 60th anniversary with Tennant and Tate to bring back old audiences, deal with all the nostalgia for his first era, before taking the show in a brand new direction with Series 14 and Gatwa. I know you seem dead-set against Whittaker regening into Tennant (and I agree, it's weird to think about), but it makes more sense to me than having Gatwa debut in a multi-Doctor story.

    • @JJungleJapeson
      @JJungleJapeson Před 2 lety +11

    Posted somewhere else on your channel too but RTD is really great at getting free promotion - all he's done is make a couple of posts on Instagram and made sure him & Ncuti turned up to an award ceremony they were both already going to at the same time so he could introduce him on the red carpet as the next Doctor.
    Now he's blown casting details but said it isn't spoilers because they're filming in London nect week so everything would have leaked anyway.
    Now you can pretty much guarantee that next week the British tabloids will have paparazzi shots from the location shooting competing to get the best money shots -
    Ncuti's Doctor's costume
    Doctor (Tennant) & Donna together
    The two Doctors together
    New Doctor & Companion together
    The villain
    Other returning characters (Matt Lucas / Wilf)
    So be prepared for more news to react to soon.
    And it was confirmed the other day that he was the one leaking false casting rumours over the last few months (basically he knew what name's to drop & who to speak to for Doctor Who to get in the news and start a bit of chatter online) - again cost him nothing but Hugh Grant even being rumoured for the job raised the profile of Doctor Who massively.
    Such a different approach compared to Chibnall.

    Another reason that popped into my head unbidden for why they're shooting this now: Bernard Cribbins is 93 years old. Perhaps the showrunners want to have these scenes in the bag in case something untoward happens. EDIT: Holy heck, I just remembered that something like this is the reason we even have Wilf in the first place. It was originally supposed to be Donna's father, not her grandfather, in the return episode, but the actor who played Geoff Noble (Howard Attfield, thanks, IMDb) had passed away in the meantime.

    This is shaping up to be a big anniversary. Hope it’s more a celebration of the whole show than the 50th which is more a modern who celebration. Really hoping he gets McGann, probably more than Matt Smith. Man deserves to be in a more than a meh movie and a extra.

    I really love that Bernard's presence and the general evidence from on-set pictures makes it look like we're seeing a later timeline Donna. RTD's tenure had its ups and downs generally, but Donna's ending always stuck out to me as being unnecessarily and gratuitously bleak. I'm starting to think that RTD is going to use this special as an excuse to give Donna the happier and more satisfying ending (with all her memories intact) that I think she and her fans deserved, and I'm very much here for it.

That you mentioned that here, just gives me added hope that we're both not wrong and Gatwa's 14 will get at least a special or something prior to the 60th Anniversary so that 14 is allowed at least a little bit of room to breathe before 10 and Donna reappear on our screens.

    Heartstopper is maybe something you could watch with your kid. Although it is a teen HS story, its very british, and has a wholesomeness to it you don't get on American series.

And your theory about shooting schedules make perfect sense.

    A point about Bernard Cribbins: my husband has done a lot of extras work (in crowd scenes, in banghra dances, as an exceptionally tall elf, yadda yadda) and has encountered Cribbins twice in the last four years. While Cribbins would be standing or as we've seen before, once a director would cut the scene, assistants would rush up with a chair for Cribbins. Take that for what it's worth. As an extra side, Cribbins would make a point of talking to everyone on set and was very friendly. Super nice guy.

    I haven't seen this theory before, and I'm not sure if it makes sense anymore, but there is a simple way to fix the problem of having previous Doctor(s) in the 60th without having the 13th Doctor regenerating into the 10th or the 10th overshadowing the 14th. We could follow the story from the new companion perspective instead of the Doctor's. This "new companion" could have a one off adventure with the 10th in one special, the 11th or 12th in another, and maybe with Unit and classic companions in another. All of them interconnected culminating with a story with the 14th Doctor. The new companion being Donna's daughter might complicate things a bit, but I can imagine a 10th Doctor / story set in the near future where they meet her.

    This has got me exceedingly interested in the 60th. Here’s my no hold-barred theory:
    Whatever happens to 13 is traumatic, and soul-crushing. The regeneration triggered does not lead to Ncuti Gatwa, but a series of re-regenerations the Curator teased in the 50th. Might even have Tom Baker cameo again in the role. The first re-regeneration is to Tennant as the ultimate regression into grief and self-loathing. Just a snippet from the set and Tennant’s Doctor doesn’t just look older but looks decidedly weary and haggard. The 60th anniversary is Tennant’s re-regeneration rediscovering the love of adventure/heroism and it eventually triggers a regeneration proper into Ncuti Gatwa, with Rose Temple-Noble as a companion!!

    • @Elwaves2925
      @Elwaves2925 Před 2 lety

      Sorry but I think having Tennant in a re-regeneration is a horrible idea. For one, it would still make him the 14th and undo the way the show has always worked. Second, Ten shouldn't look older (even if Tennant does), as he can't be playing any older than when regenerated because he has to be from within his timeline. Unless he's not the actual Doctor of course, as the meta-crisis Doctor would age. Thirdly, the line from the Curator implies that they returned to those 'old faces' when they were really, really old and effectively in retirement. Bear in mind that it wasn't the Curator as a younger Tom Baker, he was an old Tom Baker (for obvious reasons), hence the double meaning of him using 'old' in that line.
      However, 13 having a traumatic regeneration does fit with a theory of mine. It all goes wrong, worse than ever before and the Doctors have to get together to save themselves. This could work by 'sidelining' Ncuti until the 60th (whether we get one or multiple episodes), which then leads into Ncuti's full series with their companion, which may or may not be Yasmin. Although, I really don't like the idea of RTD starting again with another Doctor and Rose double. He's done that, time to move on and it's why I don't think the next companion will be called Rose.

With like his wife making a comment that he was supposed to have been off picking up kids or something at the time?
    I don't pay enough attention to like know what the timing was on that, but that was going to be my first comment on your previous video, the possibility that he had been already filming some material or working on some material for something like this ahead of time, either you know as it impacted what the material was going to be or yeah like you say just cuz he's very much in demand in a way that Not all actors and recurring who actors will be.

    @SomniRespiratoryFlux Před 2 lety +1

    While I agree that Tennant and Tate being busy and only having now to fit this into their schedule makes sense, I also have to wonder if they're also doing this for Cribbins too. Because, while I hate to be a downer, he is 93, and while a quick search about his health brought up that as of 2018 he was fine aside from back problems (which may account for the wheelchair, though whether it would also be Wilf's in-show I wouldn't know)... When you get to that age especially, it can be really hard to predict long-term availability. Maybe Tennant and/or Tate had other openings later, but the three elected to film now while they know all of them are ready rather than wait and see. Or perhaps it just was the only opening they had and it just works out nicely that Cribbins is able to be there too. Either way, I'm just really glad to see him returning with Ten and Donna, Wilf is just the purest soul and even if his role on the show was brief compared to other companions, it's a joy to see him again.

I'm really excited for the new RTD era but am trying to not speculate too much because he has that track record of messing with fans. As to the 60th being the first outing for the new doctor I would sincerely doubt that's the case but I totally agree that it's probably a scheduling thing. They almost never shoot these things in order. Everything has to be put together in the editing suite later, anyway.

    And even though it's wild speculation, it would be super cool for Donna's daughter (if she is) to become the new companion - I'm a big fan of that theory. It would just be really cool and a nice little thread to bring through some of RTD's original run into the new stuff.

    @PaulAndroid Před 2 lety +1

    Whether you think it's stupid or not, the "Tennant playing the 14th Doctor theory" has a lot of weight to it now. I didn't take it seriously until today, but there was a leak posted to reddit 2 weeks ago claiming that that would be the plot and that Donna would have a daughter named Rose, and sure enough, that latter bit of information was at least half confirmed with the announcement of a teenage character named Rose. So, it's looking very likely that the former is true as well. I personally hated the idea at first, but I think it could work as long as whatever sci-fi nonsense allows this to happen also allows other Doctors like Smith and Capaldi also get to be in it as well. That way, no one era is held above all the others. Unlike the typical multi-Doctor stories, this could allow the actors to play older versions of their characters that have more knowledge and experiences than they did before which is interesting to me.

  • @GEORGEGEORGEIII

    Since Tennant is apparently using Jodie’s Tardis, I think it’s likely Jodie is regenerating into Tennant (14th). The 14th then meets Donna Noble and Wilf again. Donna has kids and one of them is Rose. Rose becomes Tennant’s new companion. Tennant regenerates into Gatwa, and off we go. Whether this just happens in the 60th Anniversary or in a series of Specials, I’m not sure.

    The running theory I have heard which I doubt will be the case but you never know, is the whole reason for Tennent coming back is something to do with the Timeless Child and the Fob Watch going crazy inside the Tardis. This is mostly because the Tardis box seems to be close to Whittakers one. I doubt it is since I cannot see RTD wrapping up the story but since Chibnall has said he is not going to, RTD might want to get rid of this loose plot thread we are all pulling on for answers, it would also help to have it wrapped up and complete for S14 to make writing easier than having to almost dance around the whole thing.
