In all honesty I thought there would be no further lost episodes found in our lifetimes. Still processing this. 2 episodes as well. The fact the episodes are from Hartnell’s greatest story is even more unbelievable. Nicholas Courtney’s first appearance found. Katarina lives again

Instantly hooked by The War Between the Land and Sea. It was this tense, beautifully shot scene that was an early sign we’d be in for something special. Hooks you instantly. Incredible tension. Simply fantastic

Uses the ‘1st contact’ trope expertly, with an earthbound twist. Bringing back Austin Pierce for this, with his gravitas… masterstroke. The serendipitously real-life lightning behind the Sea Devils is the coup de gras here; effortlessly modernises their iconic first appearance

Perhaps a scenario most fans would be content with is if RTD uses this special to wrap up his last (interesting) dangling plot threads before passing the torch to a new head writer and staying on -with Bad Wolf still involved- as a producer of the next Doctor’s era

Christmas 2026 has to be Piper, Tennant and Daleks, surely? Crowd please as much as possible. Play the hits as much as possible. Make it the centrepiece odd Christmas Day on BBC One. Then end it with a regeneration, a big beautiful teaser trailer and a return date.

Doctor Who community… It’s simply so good to be talking about Doctor Who again.

It felt different thinking an experimental spin-off might be the last Doctor Who media we’d see for a generation. The main show is now officially coming back… So let’s back this spin-off with optimism and hope. The Whoniverse… returning full of life to a screen near you soon

The Doctor lives! Couldn’t be happier to seemingly exit the world of powerful ‘streaming partners’ and the like. The BBC simply confirms the show will return. We’re back.

You have to hope Billie Piper actually is the next Doctor. The possibility of a rug pull where she’s ’the bad Wolf entity’ incarnate or ‘Rose has somehow broken through’ would utterly alienate a potential new audience. I say this as the biggest Rose Tyler fan…

At a certain time Who was the coolest thing on TV These were the hottest DVDs in Britain. BUT… you don’t need to bring back the main stars to recapture this Tone, characters you care about, depth, unpretentiousness, grit, punchy dialogue, self-contained stories, good arcs…

I feel she may have been brought back as last ditch nostalgic stunt. But the production need gumption just to forget all that and let her lead something totally new. It’s possible. Let Billie lead a new era shorn of the past with top stories, it’ll be the coolest thing again

Ncuti had the power to be the next superstar Doctor, but the show ultimately got lost in the modern ‘meta’ obsession with irony and ‘clever’ self-referencing. He had some great eps but deserved better. Let’s not make this mistake again if the show has been given another chance…

Yep. I guess the exciting thing about current Doctor Who (following a disappointing season finale), is that we most likely now have RTD in specials mode. Pretty much his party piece. Hoping for positive news about the show imminently (most likely continuing via Bad Wolf)

To save Doctor Who you need to do two things: 1. Make it feel special 2. Gain the public's trust again There's one logical solution to this problem. A year or two of specials, 2009/2010 style. It will make the show feel like an event, and give RTD more time on his scripts.

The notion that the the Doctor had not yet had kids, first floated in Legend of Ruby Sunday/Empire of Death… deeply pissed me off. Not because it shortchanges Russell’s own ‘I was a Dad once’ line from Fear Her but because it arrogantly ruins Hartnell’s relationship with Susan
WilliamWho (@WilliamWho27) profile pictureWilliamWho@WilliamWho275 Jun 2025
I honestly prefer the ending they did do with Poppy. I just want Susan to come back. We don’t need all this new lore stuff. It’s really simple. Focus on the reunion between The Doctor & Susan. This era needs to stop with so much lore nonsense. Focus on the important things.

Seriously… what modern fan thinks like this? Was an obscure idea that was floated and gained utter ridicule in the 90s. It’s such an insulting thing to level against the past of the Doctor’s character. And what kind of real fan of Susan wants to reduce her to a lore Easter egg?

The Doctor and all Time Lords being ‘sterile’ again is a bit of a downer. It’s odd to tap into that lore when the novel that really explores all of that sees the Time Lords being sterile reversed at the end of the story. Reality War brought it back and reworked it so confusingly

Lungbarrow is the main novel that explores the Time Lords having looms because they were cursed by the Pythia (a forerunner to the Sisterhood of Karn). But by the end of the story the curse is lifted and Leela falls pregnant with Andred’s child

Obviously the show shouldn’t be restrained by its expanded media, but it begs the question why tap into that concept at all? As if the cool part of that was just the fact they can’t have biological children, and not the actually interesting, tragic lore behind it…
