    I think it would cause some more divide in the fanbase if it did happen as well. I like 10 and RTD but they're not my favourite. To me, it screams: "they're the best and the only time the show was good." Which isn't the case. It's favouritising one Doctor over others. Personally, my best case scenario would be a couple of 12 specials, written by Moffat with Bill as the companion leading into the 14th/15th Docor, depending on whether this reboot incarnation counts as their own Doctor.

      Thats a very interesting perspective truly. Because whilst I really enjoyed 12 and bill, the show going back to that for a few episodes would be very backwards in my book. So for the good of the show and the fanbase, maybe tennant shouldnt come back

    I hope not it should be a new actor each time. I liked David Tennant for his time but his time is over and I personally don't want him back I'm fine if he comes back as one of the old Doctors for the 60th but I don't want him back as the next Doctor. He should let someone else have a go personally I think the next Doctor should be another female so people can get use to the idea. I hope what ever RTD has planned is something Classic and something New.

    David Tennant is the best Doctor, but I would like to see a different representative e.g. African or Asian background doctor whether it’s female or male this would be able to bring a different cohort to the series, I think that they will change Jodie into Grace as we still don’t know which era she is from as yet

    RTD has evolved. DT is older and so talented and versatile, he's capable of creating a completely different doctor. I wouldn't mind him getting a proper 3 series run either. A few specials would feel gimmicky, and I'd return for his episodes, sure, but the damage Jodie has done won't go away fast and at the moment, I don't trust that there won't be identity gimmicking with women and POC etc that will continue to dominate the show rather than stories. DT's return would frankly, be reassuring.
    I agree that the show needs to move forward, but Jodie was such a giant step into the abyss, the return of any real doctor would feel reassuring at this point. DT, to me, is only a movement forward when he comes after Jodie. Only thing better would be if they made up with Christopher Eccleston and gave the man who revived the show a proper run at it.
    I just don't trust them to bring in new faces putting the story first. The whole "white male" thing has become such a bizarre issue. And honestly, I disliked what they did with Jodie so much that even if an extremely talented woman did a good job, I'd be looking for the other shoe to drop rather than enjoying her run. I am a woman, I am not white. I loved the Fugitive Doctor. This isn't about misogyny. It is about disliking a show I used to like and what it would take to get me to trust it enough to invest attention again.

      @@TheNerdyBrit Before Jodie, I would have unhesitatingly said yes. Though I'd love more of DT anyway - heck even metacrisis Doctor who has also conveniently aged as companion to someone like say... Suranne Jones - and she's a woman. But her performance as Idris/TARDIS speaks for itself in a Doctor Who setting. The emotional nature of it explains why the Doctor may want that form at some point... or some freaking reason why he suddenly wants to be a woman and then be GOOD at it.
      Post Jodie... I'm not so sure women can carry off the nature of the character. I used to think of her as a good actress till this. Now, I'm not sure what the priorities will be when casting and writing if there are plans to moralize. RTD can't walk the show back from where it has reached altogether, or he'll create a Jodie rerun - he'll have to weave all the bizarre stuff in somehow. I just think an actor who has played the Doctor before all this mess started will keep the show's feel on track better than someone new inventing a Doctor as well as having to toe these new lines.

    • @Vidyut_Gore
      @Vidyut_Gore 2 года назад

      I guess what I am saying is that in spite of the return of RTD and the alleged creative freedom he will get, the Jodie run has already set in motion many things that are now part of the show. They will have to be dealt with and ANY new casting will be controversial and will have to juggle a lot of things under a lot of pressure and scrutiny. A time tested Doctor will be a blessing to ensure that the basics happen reliably while the rest sorts out.
      A controversy of "why repeat a doctor" doesn't break the show, particularly if the Doctor is literally the best one of the new show. It will bring back fans of the show by the hordes and the countless David Tennant fans as well (Broadchurch, Cassanova, Jessica Jones, Around the world, Hamlet, Good Omens, Staged... He's got a separate Wikipedia page for awards in addition to one for performances, remember?). He's an extremely talented character actor and extremely reliable with giving good performances. No such thing as "didn't like David Tennant's acting in XYZ"
      The show is a chaotic mess. In my view, DT brings extremely reliable near-guarantee of success in a core area, giving the show some room to fix other problems.
      On the other hand: why white male again, pandering to ratings? Seriously, another woman, don't you care about your show and ratings at all? First women, now person of color - why bother with Supergirl if a woman could be Superman? Why not have a male wonderwoman? etc is an ongoing mess.
      This can't be left behind with anything but an already successful Doctor who is indisputably the Doctor.

      @@TheNerdyBrit Maybe they can. I had thought Jodie would do it. Let's just say I enjoy the Doctor being a man for a while at least.
      Specifically, I don't think women and a social justice agenda of moralizing can both happen without killing enjoyment in today's political climate. And honestly, as a non-white woman who is a badass in my own life, I find the idea a little insulting that women need to be handed roles created for white men to feel represented. Lots of excellent characters that are women. Create a parallel show in a parallel universe with a female Time Lord who is say... "Architect". You don't need a woman to play Superman and then create garbage debates about whether muscles are masculinity etc to have a fantastic superhero who is a woman. That is the bloody character. The Doctor is an alien who changes appearance but generally looks like a white British man - who travels with female British companions. Why a man? Because that is the blood character, like Superman is a white man and muscular.
      As a woman who has routinely answered to do you want equality with men with "why in the world would I want that? Most men never do half the things I've done. Why would I limit myself?" I don't get this kind of an attitude where equality is more about taking something another has rather than exploring opportunities and breaking limits.

    if this is true then it is brilliant news. Perhaps Jodie Whittaker was badly directed, perhaps the writer was out of his depth, but the 13th doctor hardly sparkled, I did wonder if the BBC were deliberately destroying Doctor Who. By bringing David Tenant back, they must really be trying to save it. I only hope Russell T Davies' comes up with some decent scripts and doesn't follow the canon destroying plots shown so far.

    I don't understand why you seem to think both RTD and DT evolving will not result in a new and stunning Doctor. Someone else should get a chance is okay, but you seem to think that DT would mean that RTD would regress and DT would be the same. I see no evidence to support that in the quality of his acting. Jodie and DT were both in Broadchurch. Alec Hardy is nothing like the Doctor (or in Good Omens or in Staged Cassanova, Des, Jessica Jones...) while Jodie looks similar in both. Why wouldn't DT as the 14th Doctor be as good as a new actor for that role?

      But the question is why even cast him again? Just because he could play a different version doesn’t mean he should. There would be no reason to do it other than nostalgia, which isn’t bad, but it would feel forced. Tennant is my favorite Doctor, but that doesn’t mean they should milk his popularity. If he’d be playing a different version, why not just cast a different actor??

    • @Vidyut_Gore
      @Vidyut_Gore 2 года назад

      @@kobeangelesdamelio For the survival of the show. Right now, everything is up in the air. Peter Capaldi (much as I adore him) was an older, grumpier Doctor, then you had the insane Chibnall era. That's almost a decade without a "charming" doctor. Fans are fleeing. The few left watching are in a state of civil war. No matter who is chosen to be next Doctor, someone will be pissed over "why white male" or "don't tell me you're doing this PC shit again", stretching out a divide through another Doctor - in the middle of which will be the historic centenary and 60th anniversary. More landmarks tainted.
      Tennant can create a new character, but isn't going to have any issues with BEING the Doctor. He already is. It allows fans to set aside conflicts around casting and lets the show get on with its main business of storytelling. Plus, the Chibnall mess will inevitably result in some retcon, some fumbling, some magic wands as a sane storyline is reasserted. Tennant has the charisma to read a phone book and have it trend. It will create much needed distraction from any continuity issues, etc as things get smoothed over into something workable.
      RUMORS of his return got more attention than the current Doctor. Plus he has hordes of fans from all kinds of iconic roles he can draw to the show, in addition to attracting existing fans back. Jessica Jones, Broadchurch, Hamlet, Richard II, Staged, Good Omens... there is no shortage of iconic performances that have got entire new hordes following his work that the show could benefit from as viewership is at an all time low.
      Casting a different actor, who has to create his/her own space in this climate will simply not work the same way and one or the other half of the highly polarized fanbase will be left behind.

      @@kobeangelesdamelio I don't know where this whole "forced" comes from. I mean, they couldn't have hinted more or harder that he was always going to come back. It has been set up since before his run as 10 ended.
      - 10 regenerated into 10 - so that can be done.
      - 10-2 was created and is alive and well in an alternate universe, ageing naturally too, in case he needs to return.
      - "I don't want to go"
      - BBC wanted to freaking cancel the show once he was out. Does that sound like they imagined "anyone" playing the role just like him?
      - David Tennant himself has never ruled out a return.
      - David Tennant has the most episodes, audiobooks, etc too.
      - Tom Baker's Curator Doctor showed that old faces can be revisited and pretty much told Matt Smith's Doctor that he would do it. Tennant is literally the Doctor before Matt Smiths.
      I also don't see where "show should move forward, not back" comes from. They've pretty much written it in, and in what universe is David Tennant of the iconic performances, 100% ratings and giant followings not a step forward from pretty much any situation the show has been in without him? Let alone the Jodie Chibnall era. Anything is a step forward from that. If it gives a good actor who plays the role convincingly and makes the show enjoyable, how is it anything but a step forward? Or is "forward" just about dumping new faces on the show? Then where was the problem with Jodie?
      In fact, the show never envisaged more than 13 faces for the Doctor. So any further regenerations recycling faces too makes sense from a pre-Timeless Children perspective. Not necessarily, but definitely not forced. It slides into the explanation smoothly, even if not mandatory.
      I really don't see where it would be forced. They have been driving toward this all through. If anything would be forced, it might be David Tennant's availability to commit time again, given that he is a much, much bigger star now and very prolific. Around the world in 80 days as well as Good Omens have second seasons planned - in addition to other new projects and Doctor Who is a failing show.
      A new face is always a gamble. Do you really think the show is in any position to gamble?

      @@Vidyut_Gore You typed a lot but pretty much just spoke very strongly bias in favor of David Tennant. Understand that Tennant is by far my favorite Doctor, but you’re speaking as if the BBC all collectively thought “Yup, we like this guy a lot. Let’s make sure to bring him back officially just because fans liked him.” And then asking if the BBC is in any position to gamble? Literally every decision is a gamble. Especially bringing back Tennant just because he had the charm that you enjoyed. Yes, it would be forced because it would be done purely for views. Bringing back an old doctor just because he’s popular means the BBC ran out of ideas. They’d only be trying to cash in on nostalgia. And even if the new stories are better and more well written, why not cast a new actor to take on the role and show what they can do? Your excuse for that is just not wanting to see a new person okay they Doctor, but this has been a thing since 1963. The show keeps moving forward and evolving, and having the Doctor go back to a face would be a step backwards because it wouldn’t be any different. It would just be the same thing we’ve seen before. Also, pointing out that something has been said in the show doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. The Curator very well could be the Doctor, but I don’t think he was intended to be any Doctor in the near future. As for 10 regenerating and keeping his face, that was done so that there could be a 10th Doctor that could come back without having to regenerate into that face again. But he wouldn’t be the Doctor full time. And if the actual 10th Doctor would return, it would be him from the past, just like day of the Doctor. Even with all of that, both Russell T Davies would not return to the show just to do the same thing he’s done before. He’s grown as a writer and creative director and is better than just redoing the same thing. As for Tennant, he left the role because he believed his time was done. He knew that he had to move on and do other things. Of course he could change his mind, but he himself would never just fully become the Doctor again

    On a side note, what does "moving on" mean. Is it like serial monogamy where you get a three series itch and then divorce? And if you marry the same person again, then you're not hot enough to hook someone new? Or is it about the show evolving? Because given the situation is in, casting a new actor will remain embroiled in politics. No matter who is cast, you'll have a hundred RUclips videos a day complaining about toxic masculinity or SJW agendas and so on.
    If the acceptability of a highly popular Doctor allows the show to get the fans focusing on the content rather than the divisions again, for me, it is moving on and evolving in a very healthy way.
    The expectations seem to be that it should walk a tightrope with eyes blindfolded and one hand tied behind the back and other pointed toward the sky while singing opera. The history is a mess. The casting is painted into a controversial corner. The ratings are dull. The viewers have fled. The insistence seems to be that the show do everything perfectly. Fix the timeline while also casting someone politically acceptable AND talented AND popular enough to bring back fans AND.... no one is interested in getting good storytelling happening as a priority and fixing everything else as they go along? It is literally the last consideration - ironically often from those opposed to Jodie/Chris for the same reason - storytelling not being a priority.
