“Change my dear, and not a moment too soon.” <\/p>
As is always the way when a Doctor and their showrunner leaves, there\u2019s huge change a-coming for Doctor Who<\/a> fans.<\/p>\n Earlier in the year, Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall announced they were leaving the TARDIS for pastures new, leaving plenty of speculation on who will be the 14th Doctor, and where the series will go next.<\/p>\n Speaking at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, Piers Wenger, Director for Drama at the BBC, has said that the change we will be seeing will be \u201cradical\u201d which does fit with the usual revamp that the show goes through whenever the main figures involve swap themselves out for new ones.<\/p>\n Teasing news about the future of #DoctorWho<\/a>, Piers Wenger, Director for Drama at the BBC said “As with any change of Doctor and showrunner, we’ll be radical [\u2026] Change is ahead.” #EdTVFest<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Elliot Gonzalez (@elliot_gonzalez) August 25, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> And there is even change coming before that as the show is trying something different for its upcoming 13th revived series, which will see John Bishop join the cast, as the whole season will be one continuous story.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re gonna do the biggest story we\u2019ve ever done,\u201d said departing showrunner Chris Chibnall. \u201cWe\u2019re going to go to all kinds of different places, and have all different characters and monsters, and it\u2019s all gonna be part of a bigger whole.\u201d<\/p> Fingers crossed it won\u2019t be long until we find out what is next for the show with the news of who will be taking over still not out. Although we do know that Whoopi Goldberg is very keen on being the next person in charge of flying the TARDIS\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to be Doctor Who and I still do,\u201d she said at Edinburgh TV Festival. \u201cI think it would mean an evolution into being American and I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s correct for Doctor Who. I don\u2019t know I can usurp that. As much as I love it, I love watching it still in all the iterations. There are certain things that are blatantly all English. Doctor Who is like that to me. It\u2019s like Marmite. It\u2019s very English and needs to stay that way.\u201d<\/p>\n Doctor Who will return to BBC One later this year.\u00a0 Looking for something else to watch?
