and of course those of us eu fans joking about wilderness years 2 KNOW that we’re not gonna get wilderness years 2 - that the circumstances of the late 80s, the bbc’s sincere belief that the franchise of doctor who was basically worthless to the general public, resulted in them allowing new and unheard-of writers - in comics, novels, audio - to create some of the best sci-fi that ever resulted from doctor who. now, since dw has proved it can make money on a tv revival, along with the 21st century late capitalist landscape and its love of dragging dead horses around and being rabidly protective of its dead horses’ IP, it’s highly unlikely we will get this era of joyous, low budget creative freedom again. of COURSE we know all or this. it’s just that wilderness years 2 jokes are really funny. ok now everyone have a singalong to doctor in distress, put on big finish’s Storm Warning, throw your hair up in a messy bun and we, the doctor who fanbase, can avenge ncuti gatwa together

the lungbarrow sequel was definitely a wilderness years 2 omen

thank fucking god for big finish, that's all I'll say

russell t davies i hope u never know peace

Everybody apologize to Ncuti Gatwa

Do you reckon Christopher Eccleston payed an Etsy witch🤔

This Wilderness Years won't be like the first Wilderness Years because no company is ever letting their IP fall into the hands of fans who want to use the brand to write weird experimental books where Doctor Who characters say fuck ever again. There was a casualness about brand tie-ins where they were largely unobserved and not seen as pieces in a corporate synergy plan like they are now. Whatever Doctor Who content we get in the interim will still be looked over tightly by the BBC and might be even *more* restricted in what they can feature lest they step on any future plans

he hadn't even written a script for the special.

The BBC needs to get a whole lot less precious about their IP if they want another crop of 20-30 something weirdos to come and build them the foundation for another 20+ year run

the corollary to this is fans will also have to get less precious about ““““““canon””””” or even “good doctor who”

Now that RTD is gone I think Ncuti should get a do over season

absolute dead at rtds insta post. hes like haha there was never any script or new dr lined up. Like yh we know u were lying ur ass off mate

my feeling with regards to the billie piper cliffhanger was like 'well it's stupid but i suppose if this is what it takes to secure the show's ongoing existence it will be worth it'. consequently i now feel comfortable saying: that was simply fucking stupid wasn't it
