"It will be Doctor Who's only outing in 2019, with Chibnall's delayed second series now likely to air early 2020."
Huh. Sun making stuff up again?

Jodie's confirmed for next series, so at that least puts to bed that nonsense: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/n...ctor-who-season-12-1167388?utm_source=twitter
Wasn't the rumour the other day about Chibnall maybe leaving after two series as showrunner with just speculation that Jodie might want to go at the same time as him?Jodie's confirmed for next series, so at that least puts to bed that nonsense: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/n...ctor-who-season-12-1167388?utm_source=twitter
Oh was it? I'm sure there was one saying it'd just be the one, but like, only Daily Star level rumour. I might beI don't think it was ever a rumor that she would leave after one series, but after her second.

IIRC, filming for s11 started mid to late November. Capaldi-era usually started filming early December or right after the Christmas break. Though s10 had a weirder schedule.It's almost certain we're not getting ten episodes in 2019 as they would have needed to start filming weeks ago.

Matt Smith talked about "11 day fortnights" being the schedule at the time. Different episodes need more or less time, occasionally, of course... If I'm not mistaken, Capaldi mentioned working for 3 weeks for TUAT.

"Not quite ready to hand it over yet" makes her sound like this next season might be her last.
That's the impression I got from what I saw. I never watched Lie of the Land because apparently it was such a terrible ending to that arc, Moffat wasn't able to write the ending because his mother died. I know people found Capaldi more likeable that year but he also seemed to be less interesting.That aside, so much of the series was dedicated to a the three-parter that took a nose dive after the excellent first episode and the rest were pretty run of the mill standalones. The finale was excellent but it's the only part of series 10 I think really stands up to rewatching. It's a shame because Capaldi, Nardole, and Bill are a great team. The whole series just feels like Moffat treading water waiting for Chibnall to take over.
I just rewatched Capaldi's seasons and this moment early in that episode encapsulates what and who the Doctor is to me just as much as Capaldi's incredible 'Just Be Kind' monologue.I really love Capaldi's final trilogy, I like it even more than Androzani. The characters development for 12 and Missy was wonderful. I can just quote the last 10 minutes of the Doctor Falls episode.
And I have to say, I don't get it when this point is sometimes brought up.Alright, caught up on the show. My conclusion is that there are some good bits in there, but the pacing is just generally way too slow and drains away any possible excitement from the stories. I felt like taking a nap after each episode. Plus the endings are generally flops, the worst cases being the spider episode and "Kerblam!" As for the Doctor, it feels like she has a much harder time figuring out simple stuff, like that one monster just wanting to drain energy from the ship and not being out to kill people, and just doesn't do all that much. I know people are saying this is refreshing after the God Doctor we got at times, but there's a balance to be had. Like I can't imagine this Doctor being able to stop the Daleks.
apparently.
According to BBC Writers Room, the basic rate for 1 hour TV script is about £10 000. So for the want of less than 100k to get scripts for a whole season, the showrunner has been writing the majority for most of Nu Who's run. Obviously better known writers will be paid more, but that's how it is. Wasn't there supposed to be a writer's room for this series? It appears there is one, but its just Chib's office.
Also, Doctor Who always has and probably always will have a difficult time getting scripts that work. Having the script editor in the new series being a much lower level role than in the classic series probably doesn't help.
I find the hate for Lie of the Land really overblown (similarly, I think the first part of the trilogy is way overhyped too).That's the impression I got from what I saw. I never watched Lie of the Land because apparently it was such a terrible ending to that arc, Moffat wasn't able to write the ending because his mother died. I know people found Capaldi more likeable that year but he also seemed to be less interesting.
Hopefully I like it more giving it another chance, Series 9 is my favourite.
Here's another amazing conversation between Tennant and Captain Jack from Utopia:
That wry smile from the Doctor when Jack says 'fantastic.' Ouch at getting done in by a stray javelin. I just realized that the Professors assistant must be so confused by this exchange.
Wasn't Jack supposed to be in a Matt Smith episode but couldn't because of timing or something? It's a shame that ever happened
Do we have a date for the 13th Doctor book?
Thinking of getting it for my niece's birthday.
