The Billie Paul's Scrapböka

came back and was hyped by everyone and then wrote crap episodes

completely screwed over Ncuti Gatwa

brought back Billie Piper, an interesting choice considering he doesn’t and probably never knew where the show was going and obviously had little to no plans at all for when she was actually back to justify it

confirmed a Christmas special everyone was waiting and watching for and then cancelled it without ever even bothering to try actually writing a script

only ever confirmed a Christmas special in the first place to let fans know there would be more Doctor Who coming despite it “going on tender” and probably wouldn’t be back for years, giving fans false hope (“welcome back wilderness era,” we all say completely dejected and monotone because WHO THE HELL WANTS THE WILDERNESS ERA BACK)

leaves the show in an even bigger mess than how he found it.

Welp, it's official, the Wilderness Years are back! 😭😭😭 RTD IS GONE!

(First discussion, about Monica and Tony's relationship, is here)

This is I think the worst take of them all. And something I kept encountering... so let's address it!

The writers are actually trying to accomplish the complete opposite

Monica represent's Tony's only tether to any kind of morality. She reigns him in, she keeps him in check. Without Monica Tony is even more of a monster. Removing her hurts him, yes, but this pain is no path to redemption, it's a path to more violence, more lashing out, more evil.

He will gets way worse.

In a way he's even more powerful without her because there's no limits now. She was also keeping him grounded so now he's going to be unhinged without her... because his sanity also took refuge in that stable home life with Monica.

Removing Monica allows for Tony to completely gets off the charts with the evilness - it also probably allows for a tallest fall at the end too. Which we will all applaud by then I'm sure.

Billie and Her Younger Years, Exploitation and Encouragement | Parkinson

Twenty years ago, in March 2005, Billie Piper appeared as a guest in Parkinson to talk about her role in the new Doctor Who, but what makes this one a bit more special is the fact that the other guest was Jamie Oliver, whose outfit inspired David’s Doctor Who costume.

So while David was obviously tuning in for Billie and Doctor Who… 

He was also imagining his future look next to Billie.
