I mean, if the BBC get enough backlash about it that isn't "hur dur dacter hoo bad cus essjaydoubleus and der lefty stuff", it could get kicked out early.

I thought Mark Gatiss was going to take over after Moffat left, but maybe he'll replace Chibnall instead.

My only issue with Gatiss running the show is that whenever he's in charge the end result tends to look too much like Sherlock.

Is that still a better alternative to the current state of the show?
Yugoslavia's back baby...

How the hell did this happen?
Well...we don't actually know. Just sort of happened one day.
Is it a reunited Yugoslavia in the 21st century? Is a rebel colony world in the far future? Is it a race of cyborg neo-life at war with any assimilating organisms they come across in the far far future? Who knows, who cares?

My Dad thought it might be too dark for the "family drama"/"general audiences" appeal Doctor Who usually goes for. But we've had times where the show is darker in tone and Lighter in tone. It can even vary from story to story or just in different aspects of the show. Heck, just seeing Whittaker's Doctor in a story under Gatiss' pen would be interesting.

Noooo Children of Earth's the best bit. The Sarah Jane Adventures is pretty good considering it was squarely aimed at children and made on an obviously limited budget.

That Reminds me that I want to watch TW Series 1-3 One Day. I got partway through Series 1 but things kept distracting me and I forgot about it for a while.

Big Finish's Torchwood Audios are A+ and well worth a listen. They've had Jack, Tosh, Owen, Ianto, Suzie, Yvonne, Andy, Gwen, Rhys, Martha, Margaret the Slitheen, Billis Manger, Even throwing in Jo Jones, the 10th Doctor, Captain John Hart, The Fendahl, the Autons, the Giant Maggots, The War Machines. I honestly think the only major torchwood person they haven't got back is Raj from Torchwood one.

I just watched School Reunion again today, and was reminded of how good it was. The drama, the character interactions, the villains and the reintroduction of Sarah Jane and K9 make it a classic episode of NuWho.

Also, Bob from Prehistoric Park (Rod Arthur) has a small role as the history teacher in the episode.

So apparently John Barrowman has been cancelled. Apparently he liked to wave his dangle at people on the set of Torchwood to "Keep their spirits up". Turns out people aren't thrilled about that.

Yeah dont do that. And from ive gathered online he also did it on a BBC radio show and also during a musical performance with a piano

edit: Seems he may have also done something similar on one of those arrowverse shows.
