Woof. No.

I think the way that was done, and by Thayer's own choice IIRC, they left the door wide open for Jenny to turn up alive someday.

I remember folks getting real heated when I said that Aryan pack of pecs couldn't act! He's nice enough and very nice to look at, but woof.

I'm not claiming he was a saint or excusing his alleged behavior. I just think he was second to none as Edmund in the '90s, and while I like Drake a lot I can't see him doing it better.

That could've worked, but looking back at that material recently it's hard to argue John Callahan was not born for that part.

More: Jodie was apparently only told last night.

Some nice background info:

Again: Literally every white or off-white dude under 35 who joins this show gets claimed as Morgan by fans. I really don't think it's Morgan.

Yet more from RTD in the British press:

Harmony was creepy as hell and I could never have bought her as a regular character. Good riddance.

A longer BAFTA interview clip:

Per RTD, Jodie Whittaker's finale is apparently 90 minutes:

Janet Fielding (more added as possible): I think the Capaldi era was largely excellent and still underrated, but I do think by the end it was time for a change from Moffat (just not Chibnall). I also liked Bill a lot, but I don't think they needed to do another improbably happy ending for a companion where a death is inverted just like Clara's. I will agree the Chibnall companions are total ciphers. It is not a coincidence that the only actors that have managed to break out a little in the current era are established performers with their own preexisting name brands - Bradley Walsh and John Bishop.

Just now on the BAFTA red carpet with Gatwa and RTD. Seems he may go blond. He's known since February. Shades of Matt Smith - RTD says Gatwa was their last audition and 'stole it'. IIRC Smith did something similar from out of nowhere.

From Georgia Tennant (who played "The Doctor's Daughter"):

Gatwa may be presenting at the BAFTAs tonight, possibly with Jodie Whittaker. From RTD:

A recent Netflix interview for Sex Education, the show he does with Asa Butterfield and Gillian Anderson:

@DRW50 He's here. Gatwa is also queer.

She looks amazing in everything she's been in lately.

Good to know. Meanwhile, as alluded to above:

Who is this?
