It's the end of an era, but the moment hasn't quite been prepared for...
In a bonus pod, Aidan talks about his reactions to Doctor Who's cancellation and his realistic thoughts for the future... will the show ever be back?
Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series broadcast by the BBC since 1963. The series, created by Sydney Newman, C. E. Webber and Donald Wilson, follows the adventures of the Doctor, an extraterrestrial being from a humanoid species known as Time Lords. The Doctor travels through space and time using a time travelling spaceship called the TARDIS, which has an exterior that resembles a British police box. The Doctor encounters various civilisations, which he seeks to protect by outwitting foes and solving crises. The Doctor usually travels with a companion.
David Tennant returned to the role for the 60th anniversary specials, and Ncuti Gatwa played the Doctor for two seasons between 2023 and 2025. A Christmas special, to be written by Davies, but without Disney's or Gatwa's involvement, was announced for 2026, but was later cancelled before a script was written, with Davies announcing his departure at the same time. The BBC committed to the future of Doctor Who, and put the show out to competitive tender.
