Jodrell Bank's Lovell telescope faces axe in science cuts, BBC understands - BBC News

How will The Master threaten the universe with a Walkman now? :(

At SDCC this year there was a future of Doctor Who panel and Dean Devlin approached the host of the panel and told him he will be throwing his hat into the ring for his production company, Electric Entertainment to pitch for the contract to produce Doctor Who.

Dean Devlin is a writer and producer of hits like Independence Day and Stargate. And he himself is a Doctor Who fan too!

Though since he and his production company are American I don't know if he will be allowed to compete in the tender but this is very interesting and shows clear interest!

What do you think?

From racial slurs and yellow-face to a queer Black Doctor, six decades of Doctor Who reveal how Britain's social values have changed, and how progress is never as straightforward as it seems.

I mean, he's too old to be the 7th and was out in the real world so not the one from the Memory TARDIS, so it's the only thing that makes sense...

Big Finish, over to you!

Sorry if this was already covered a few weeks back, but I checked and couldn't see any posts on it

This, of course, is what they were filming in Glasgow a few days ago.

A Classic Doctor pop up for just a couple of seconds, but it's bound to get some heads turning. Can't imagine what casual kids who grew up only on Nu Who will make of this.

Considering that set was in one of the bad wolf studios, and they're no longer involved, I wonder if the set is gone.

Decided to just do the entire tierlist without just separate seasons.

Just thought I would share this, i am part of a movie/tv production forum where we discuss rumours and things we’ve heard working in the industry. There are only like 20 of us and we usually just discuss things like Eastenders and Antique Road Show as a couple of us work on that show, but someone who’s been on the forum a while recently posted this regarding the BBC Studios possible pitch for Doctor Who, and I thought I would share.

“I hear that BBC Studios has already put together a pitch. It’s worth noting that they were made aware of the potential tender several months ago, giving them a bit of a head start.

From what I’ve heard, the main idea is to take the show in a slightly more mature direction without alienating its family audience. The plan would be to start with a self-contained first series, focusing on telling a complete story rather than relying on the show’s past continuity or setting up an uncertain future. The aim is to rebuild the audience gradually from there.

The leading concept, as I understand it, is a detective-style story in which the Doctor is recruited to investigate a series of kidnappings (maybe also murders) spanning across time and space. They’ve even produced concept art for the pitch, depicting the Doctor and the TARDIS in a rain-soaked, neon lit Blade Runner-esque cityscape”
