Which is?
Not sure. Usually, the BBC denies reports like this.
This was in the article
The BBC said last night: â As we have previously stated, the decision on season 3 will be made after season 2 airs and any other claims are just pure speculation. The deal with Disney+ was for 26 episodes â and we still have an entire spin off, The War Between the Land and the Sea, to air. And as for the rest, we never comment on the Doctor and future storylines.â
So, we can probably expect an answer around June.
This yearâs season certainly felt stronger than last yearâs, it would be a shame to see that momentum come to a halt.
Also, itâs disappointing that people are pretending that the show has been suddenly âcancelledâ. Disney ordered two seasons way back, and so far weâve gotten those two seasons.
Regenerate from Peter Capaldi into a new doctor and treat everything in between as some sort of weird fever dream
Is this the moment the show jumps the shark?
I donât think he was finished regenerating.
Probably another gimmick where for 3 episodes will do something then bigenerate into what will be the doctor with âNu Roseâ going off to retire and live a life on the farm.
Three key takeaways from that final scene:
-
The regeneration was not finished when the episode ended.
-
The regeneration effect looks very different to the effect used for Flood-to-Rani only a few episodes ago, and David-to-Ncuti. The difference is intentional.
-
Billie was not listed as playing the Doctor in the credits, just âIntroducing Billie Piperâ. She also made a cryptic Instagram post holding a rose captioned âA rose is a rose is a rose!!!â
Something fishy is going onâŚ
So, if this is a curveball, could Ncuti Gatwa not be departing and will do one more season?
No I reckon heâs definitely gone but I also donât think Billie is the next doctor either.
Brave headline.
I donât think that was very clear at all.
Incredibly brave.
The BBC/RTD have left it intentionally ambiguous. She hasnât been officially announced as âThe Doctorâ, or any character yet.
Seems TVT has backtracked a little, updating the headline to read " Billie Piper returns in Doctor Who"
