The Power of the Doctor

In the latest Doctor Who Magazine, the title of Jodie Whittaker's final episode has been revealed as The Power of the Doctor.

Sacha Dhawan (the Master) features on the cover and the headline is Absolute Power.

Russell's Great Machine

Still keeping an ear to the ground for the source of speculation that David Tennant's Doctor Who might regenerate into Ncuti Gatwa's, we found a video of his appearance at Fan Expo Boston in which he says that there was closed set filming and more to his appearance than anyone realises.

Doctoral Gossip

It's not often that we bother to repeat entertainment gossip but The Hollywood Reporter have dropped a small bomb which may confirm one of our own Doctor Who theories - that Jodie Whittaker may have in fact been The Master.

Their speculation is Ncuti Gatwa may also appear with David Tennant in the 2023 anniversary special and that the latter could regenerate into the former.

BBC Gaming Prom

The latest in a very long line of signs that gaming is being taken seriously as an art form was its inclusion in this year's BBC Proms (an eight week music festival) in the UK.

That two hour concert is now available exclusively to UK users on the BBC's iPlayer for the next year.

Disney Needs a Doctor

Bloomberg reports that Disney is seeking to acquire streaming rights to the next season of Doctor Who.

Should an agreement be reached it would air in the UK on the BBC and also stream on Disney+ globally.

Flat Tardis

No, this isn't news that our next Doctor Who will be travelling to the two dimensional universe.

This is news from the UK Sun that our next Tardis will be wheelchair accessible.

Russell Teases Again

We nicknamed him Russell Tease Davies following his revelation that he planted false leads to keep secret the identity of our next Doctor Who, now known to be Ncuti Gatwa of Sex Education fame, and now he might be at it again.

Tennant & Tate to Reunite

Former Doctor Whos (excluding Eccleston) returning for the series' 60th anniversary next year wouldn't surprise anyone.

But the BBC has announced that both David Tennant and Catherine Tate will return.

Russell Tease Davies

Returning showrunner Russell T. Davies confirmed that he planted "a couple of misleading things" about the identity of the actor who will next play Doctor Who.

We now know that our next Doctor Who will be played by Ncuti Gatwa of Sex Education fame and this is being framed explicitly as not a diversity hire.

The New Who

At the very tail end of a quiet-as-a-mouse sci-fi news week, when everyone else took a break to avoid competing with juggernauts Star Wars and Marvel, the BBC have revealed our next Doctor Who.

The role will pass from Jodie Whittaker - who we feel performed brilliantly even if the show itself took a few wrong turns - to Rwandan born Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa, best known as Eric Effiong in Netflix's Sex Education.
