What Russell Tovey or whoever plays the next Doctor needs to say....

 


In a perfect world, a fan fic:

 

Russell Tovey as the next Doctor will say this:

 

“I will be the Doctor but I demand certain things. First, we have to have secure TEN episodes a season and the contract has to be for five seasons, that’s five years. That’s 50 episodes. Back to back, week to week.

 

I don’t care if you include a Christmas episode in those each year but the Christmas episode has to be the week after the episode before it and the week before the one after it. I don’t intend to have weeks and weeks and months and months between stories. I don’t care if we do or don’t do a Christmas episode because, and yes, I will be critical, those have been not good. So, if you want a Christmas episode then schedule the entire season around that to be week after week OR rerun the Christmas episode you might have shown in say June, in rerun in December. I don’t care. I don’t won’t have my episodes months apart from each other.

 

I want, thirdly, total script approval. If I say no, then it’s no. Fourth, have back up scripts in case I nix a script. That means you might have to write 15 to 20 scripts a year. I don’t care, hire more writers than just 5 or 4 or 6 even. I am not going to do stories about space babies, singing and dancing numbers, and shit driven space stations or musical camp gods. No, no, and no.

 

Most importantly, have a back up plan. Start negotiations for the next five seasons, during the end of my FOURTH season so that way if they the service we’re partnering with says they do not want more (they will want more), we know by season five and we can start looking during season five or sooner for a new partner. GIVE the new partner exclusive content. I’ll do…for free, 15 minute exclusive adventures for the new partner and maybe you can give them other content, like the season one and two Disney stuff if Disney takes it down and doesn’t want to show it anywhere and approves that (if they need to?). That will sweeten any deal. Have that partner waiting in the wings in case our original partner says no. That way the one waiting can show exclusive content, in five years they will get free an hour and 15 minutes. Let the original partner know this up front. That we will have someone waiting in the wings.

 

Similarly, have a back up show runner. Hire him or her in case the current show runner doe a …run off and leaves. I don’t care what you give him or her but make it a quality show. Possibly a spinoff that I can appear in once for free. Make it something like a gay Adric and friends or something, I don’t know. Give five to eight episodes a season and make that show runner, a new show runner apart from DOCTOR WHO’s show runner. If our show runner does  a leave, use that show’s show runner and find a new one for the spinoff.

 

I want casting approval for a gay male companion. Yes, I want a gay male companion. I don’t care what race he is and I want him gay, not bi, not trans, gay male. I want a gay male companion, non negotiable. I’d rather have just the one companion but if you really feel the need for the trad female companion, you can do that, too but I want casting approval, too. Or at least a vote in who plays her.

 

If I can’t have these things I’m out. DW is in deep trouble with talent, seriousness, and the tight execution we had on THE WAR BETWEEN THE LAND AND THE SEA, I think we can make DOCTOR WHO a strong sci fi action adventure show again instead of a laughing stock of silly garbage.”

THE WORST DOCTOR WHO ERA and hopefully the very last I DID NOT SURVIVE THE RTD DISNEY Aka the Wrap Up Destruction of DW!

  THE WORST DOCTOR WHO ERA and hopefully the very last     I DID NOT SURVIVE THE RTD DISNEY/GATWA error Aka the Wrap Up Destruction of DW!   You know how some of the McCoy stories were “throw in everything but the kitchen sink” ahead of their time and you hated them when you first saw them as incomprehensible low level garbage but they were really just a bit ahead of their time, sort of and you start to like them after reading what they were really about and what was really behind them (I don’t mean the shit like HAPPINESS PATROL and DRAGONFIRE, those suck)? I mean GHOSTLIGHT and CURSE OF FENRIC and possibly the bizarre BATTLEFIELD?   YEAH this season and the last one weren’t like that. They will never grow on me with time and will never be thought of as ahead of the time, unless a moron bomb goes all misty on us and makes us all impossibly dull and uneducated buffoons who like crap TV that’s so bad, it’s not even MST worthy to be riffed bad or n...

WHY DOCTOR WHO IS SUCH GARBAGE NOW

 WHY DOCTOR WHO IS SUCH GARBAGE NOW DW is in sad shape right now. A response to a post about the 60 anniversary "stories". What? RTD is shit now. His writer block from Journey's End stuck and never left. He's burned out of DW and sci fi, he was never that great at the sci fi but fortunately he used to make good choices for the Doctor, his personality, and the premise and plots, usually. His time from 2005 to 2008's MIDNIGHT was the best of the modern series, not perfect but entertaining, meaningful, emotionally sound, logically good, solid DW. Torchwood was a huge mistake and crap, a gutter show. Sarah Jane worked but became routine. RTD burned out on DW and wrote a few good things between his first tenure and now (ALL not sci fi and ALL usually about what he knows: gay life and they were okay, if sad). In the meantime, Moffat ran DW (the classic series he hated and always did and he never new the Doctor's personality or how to write for him) into the ground w...

DOCTOR WHO-LUCKY DAY (extreme spoilers)

  DOCTOR WHO-LUCKY DAY (extreme spoilers)   Oh fuck! Is today Saturday? Doctor Who new episode? I didn’t almost forget---I did forget. Compare to the Chris Eccleston’s and David Tennant’s stories when I did countdowns and couldn’t wait and it was the only thing foremost in my mind. Now? Could care less. As far as I’m concerned, I’m hoping the countdown is four to the end of the entire series forever.   Let’s see what shitty script we have this time…   Microsoft news asked: “What went wrong with Doctor Who?” Ha ha. Just read my blog.   Hang on, this is gonna be a rough one: that slap happy mentally deficient Ruby is back.   Combine her with irritating, irritable, selfish bint Belinda and you’ve got some really bad TV on the horizon. Read Dark Horizons: it’s a great Matt Smith Doctor novel that does his Doctor right. Unlike Moffat.   Okay…onto LUCKY DAY: stalling here because last week and the week before were almost painful in th...
