The Hour of the Wolf

[parrot_knight]

So, Bad Wolf Productions will be taking over Doctor Who once Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker leave... and not only does this mean the return of Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter in some executive capacity, but the beadline news is that Russell T Davies is returning as Doctor Who showrunner. This part of the news was completely unexpected to me,

Not so much "I've been persuaded to stay" as "persuaded to return"!

I was hoping for someone like Toby Whithouse. I've never really connected with Davies' work (something driven home to me by re-watching new Who with my girlfriend - we just finished Evolution of the Daleks), but then I've didn't really connected with Chibnall's last season either (I preferred his first one). Possibly I would be happier if I stopped watching, but I can't see myself doing that somehow. There's a monogram to be written on fandom as a form of addiction or masochism...

Definitely on the latter point!

I'd expected someone new, too, but have very high hopes of Russell..! A danger in itself, of course.
