So, Russell T Davies is coming back to run Doctor Who. A very pleasant surprise, I would say. The show has frankly lost its way under Chris Chibnall; this is no slur on Jodie Whittaker in the slightest, who has done a good job with the material she was given.
The show is now going to have to up its game considerably to survive. We have Disney churning out Marvel and Star Wars series - and good ones to boot - on a year-round basis. There are no less than three live-action Star Trek series ongoing. Netflix is grabbing high-quality fantasy content the world over.
Frankly, a handful of actors in an old factory in South Wales isn't really going to cut the proverbial mustard for a modern audience.
But I confident RTD can do it. Just no farting aliens, please.
