Last time I did one of these, it was nearly two months. Some stuff has happened since then in the world of Doctor Who. Some interesting rumours and some actual developments.
Buckle in folks.
Back in July, the BBC not only released images of the new sonic screwdriver for the anniversary specials but we got some lovely character posters for the 14th Doctor (David Tennant), 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa), Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson). All bright and colourful and generally awesome.
Cool promo pics to one side, Series 14 completed filming in July and if rumours are true, it seems that filming for Christmas 2024 and Series 15 will start from October.
Also in the world's worst kept secret, the BBC finally confirmed that Heartstopper star Yasmin Finney will be playing Rose Noble, the daughter of Donna and Shaun (Karl Collins) in the 60th anniversary specials. I mean it was obvious when we saw her filming last year but it's confirmed now.
It also seems that Rose Noble might not just be around for the anniversary specials but could be appearing in the next series. Yasmin Finney has confirmed she's filmed scenes with Ncuti Gatwa as well as David Tennant and Catherine Tate.
Meanwhile Jemma Redgrave has also been talking to the press recently. She confirmed in an interview that she will be at least one episode of Series 14 and that Kate Stewart has scenes with Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday but not Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor. She also seemed to indicate there wasn't a UNIT spin off in the works in spite of many scoopers this year claiming there was. We'll have to see how that ultimately pans out.
Keeping with scoopers, many of them have been saying that Steven Moffat will be writing for Series 14 but the latter himself isn't giving anything away. I do find it interesting that so far, aside from Russell T. Davies himself, no other writers have been confirmed for the upcoming series.
Other bits have included rumours of a certain Hollywood actor possibly appearing in the show (hope it's true but doubt it), a new behind the scenes feature will premiere the same time as the anniversary specials and that Doom's Day multimedia thing with Sooz Kempner is still a thing.
Anyways with the autumn now in and the return of Strictly Come Dancing imminent, expect the marketing for Doctor Who to go into overdrive in the next few weeks.
Doctor Who returns to BBC1 and Disney+ this November.
