BBC boss responds to Doctor Who’s future “with or without Disney” after fan concern

by

The executives at the BBC have addressed fan worries about the continuation of Doctor Who, guaranteeing supporters that the series will persist, whether it’s with or independent of Disney.

In the past few months, there’s been a lot of debate about whether the science fiction series will carry on, with its creator, Russell T Davies, himself stating that he’s still unsure about its future.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about the future of our beloved series. Although Ncuti Gatwa’s era in the show has been made possible through a collaboration between BBC and Disney, it’s reassuring to know that the BBC chief content officer, Kate Phillips, has confirmed that the show will continue to thrive, even if Disney decides to step back. Here’s to hoping for many more seasons of magical adventures!

Rest easy, it seems that “Doctor Who” won’t be leaving us anytime soon. As reported by Deadline, Disney has been a fantastic collaborator, and this partnership continues with “The War Between The Land And The Sea” set for release next year. However, moving forward, whether with or without Disney, you can expect “Doctor Who” to remain on the BBC – essentially, the TARDIS isn’t going anywhere.

BBC director of scripted Lindsay Salt added that the broadcaster is “committed” to the show.

One individual asking the BBC to carry on with the series is Rylan Clark, a person who made an appearance in one of the episodes themed around Eurovision earlier this year.

Ensure that ‘Doctor Who’ returns, as it is an essential part of British culture,” he expressed during the same event. “It’s crucial for ‘Doctor Who’ to continue.

Ever since the 2005 revival of ‘Doctor Who’ featuring Christopher Eccleston, I’ve been a devoted fan, thoroughly enjoying each and every episode.

Should the series return, it appears that Billie Piper, known for portraying companion Rose Tyler in the past, may step into the role of the next Doctor, following Gatwa’s surprising transformation into her at the conclusion of his tenure.
