 "And so GOODBYE from me to Doctor Who but HELLO to a big new future for the show, as the BBC announces it’s putting the show out to tender. As a result, there won’t be a Christmas Special - we only cooked that up to guarantee a future when no one knew what would happen, but now we do know, there’s no need for it. You’ll have to wait a bit longer for new Doctor Who… but you’ll be waiting for MORE Doctor Who than a one-off. So it’s worth it! For the record: there was no script, I never wrote it, and no actor was ever approached to play the next Doctor. You may disagree; fine, sit in that chair and wait to be proved right. You’ll wait a time 🪑 Now I’m as excited as anyone to see what comes next! Will they keep the theme tune? Will they lose the blue box? Will they bring back the Drahvin?! It’s all up for grabs, which is so Doctor Who, exciting and unpredictable and new! Here comes the future, vworp vworp 🌪️@bbcdoctorwho ♥️"

I am going to begin here with; for any up-and-coming people in TV or film this is how precisely not to leave a project or/and a franchise.

Because I smell a strong whiff of ball-manure and this is just based on my opinion mixed with common sense as things stand, because if we are going to allies what this statement is actually saying on one level or another, so let me get this right you cooked something up which now by your own words you don't have the need for it; on one hand I get it, I know how roughly the TV landscape works, but on the other hand if this was a possible outcome why Oh why did you reveal the incoming Doctor? As you will see this will not be the only time I will be referring to this; so once again let me get this right; by the sound of it we were going to have another regeneration for a new Doctor [Billie Piper] for potentially a one-off Christmas Special... is that what you are trying to indicate? Because if so that would have been a steaming pile of manure, because I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but we are going through regeneration as quick as changing your socks at the moment, but then again you make reference to the fact you haven't written the script for something that wasn't going to happen... so what was the point of revealing Piper?

Can I just point out with you going on about you can sit in a chair and wait to be proven right; it makes you sound like a complete and utter fudgin' moron and I am being nice here... And this is one of those rare occasions where I am justified in this assessment, based on the very tiny detail you were the show runner, so everything that has combined in this massive slump for years as it relates to the Doctor Who franchise guess where the but stops? I will give you a couple of seconds to think about it ... I am waiting?... If you said you... you would be correct, so this childish snapback at some fans is and was pointless, unless you were talking to a person looking back at you in the mirror... then by all means please continue.

The only ones I have any empathy for is the people that work on the show and need it to make a living and obviously Piper; as is it just me or has she been thrown under the bus here; holding the bag of manure; as in based on what we saw she was going to come in, now that is all up in the air possibly with Doctor Who going in a different direction? Who knows at this point especially with it being confirmed that Davies had nothing in place or worked on anything, so as far as I am concerned Davis can really fudge off!

It has also been indicated that we won't be seeing Doctor Who until sometime in 2028, which if this is remotely true or got the smell of truth around in in any way, I would feel comfortable suggesting this timescale easily sounds right as in a nutshell they have to get their house in order and just because it's the right thing to do I would definitely do something with Piper in the future in Doctor Who, because it is the right thing to do by everyone; because it would bring everyone back home side that had maybe grown tired of this franchise and its direction.
