Members Vee Posted December 9, 2023 Members Share Posted December 9, 2023 What I mean is I think that Catherine Tate and Donna have a bigger profile and following among DW fandom in the last decade - time marches on and Rose was surpassed a bit in audience appreciation. It doesn't mean I don't like Rose, and it has nothing to do with toxic fandom or misogynists that hate Jodie Whittaker. An opinion isn't automatically toxic just because you disagree with it.

Members Faulkner Posted December 9, 2023 Members Share Posted December 9, 2023 BBCA ran a poll for a 50th anniversary fan special, and Donna was overwhelmingly voted as the favorite companion. Apparently, that result didn’t sit well with the brand managers in the UK, especially since Billie Piper was returning as a “companion” for the 50th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 9, 2023 Members Share Posted December 9, 2023 Some interesting stuff here from RTD: He's suggested that the bi-generation/Toymaker's magic or whatever may have caused all the past Doctors bi-generate across their timelines and go on from their 'deaths' in future adventures, possibly in other splinter timelines (like the Tales of the TARDIS shorts). I think he's just riffing, but who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 I was a Jodie supporter but ok lol The Ratings spoke for themselves with Jodie and how the fandom felt! anyway… Mel’s return was quite a letdown. Tegan and Ace could’ve brought back instead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 The ratings were also higher for these specials than any DW since 2018. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lye-C Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) I was really hoping that Billie Piper would finally return as Rose so I was a tad disappointed. I thought RTD loved Rose? I love Rose even more than The Doctor. Could we at least finally get that Rose Tyler: Earth Defender spinoff please??? I stopped watching DW a few episodes into Matt Smith’s run but I did watch The Day of the Doctor. I watched these specials for RTD and Tennant. Not a Donna fan. I have mixed feelings on them so the Xmas special will really determine for me if I will watch the upcoming season or not.

Members Vee Posted December 10, 2023 Members Share Posted December 10, 2023 This one's for @DRW50 This is an evil prank, but a funny one: Please register in order to view this content I suspect that Shirley, Kate, Mel and whatever the Vlinx is are being set up for a UNIT spinoff in future, but I'm fairly sure all appear next series (we know Kate and Mel do). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 11, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 11, 2023 Thanks for all the photos and trailers. I'd heard the Disney+ numbers aren't great, but I'm not that surprised as I don't think the show is that popular in the US these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 11, 2023 Members Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) It''s largely because they haven't actively pushed the specials. As RTD has said, the major Disney push begins with Gatwa now, the specials were a prologue for them.
