#Russell T Davies

[minimoefoe]

just found out rtd changed the sonic design bc he worried the old design looked too much like a gun and would encourage kids to pretend to shoot one another omg how is this man real 😭😭 I understand some changes he's made (like davros) but this is soooo over the top like what the hell are you on about man

#doctor who #rtd #dw txt #i dont like the change but ultimately its like whatever atp #byt that reasoning is ridiculous #i woulda preferred if this sonic was just a gadget the doctor has l #bc it does look interesting #but it doesnt give sonic really does it #russell t davies

the fact that ncuti gatwa and millie gibson pulled up to their first ever readthrough for one of the most iconic and long-running shows of all time only to find out that they would be performing a musical number to a group of cardboard-cutout goblins about eating a baby. their faces are fucking priceless. best bts footage to come out of unleashed so far. classic

#and they ate it up #the fact that they disnt even prerecord their parts and sang them on set that day while acting is SO WILD? #good for them. good for them #doctor who #the doctor #doctor who 60th anniversary #russell t davies #the goblin song #the church on ruby road #ruby sunday #the fifteenth doctor #fifteenth doctor #15th doctor #ncuti gatwa #millie gibson

you ever learn something you wish you didn't? I, for example, just learned that between 2008 and 2015 not a single episode of Doctor Who aired that was written by a woman. Between The Sontaran Stratagem, a story with David Tennant as the Doctor, and The Woman Who Lived, a Peter Capaldi story, not a single episode was written by a woman.

Thinking about how meetings between RTD and Disney went.

The Mouse: We’re willing to put Disney Money™️ into your show now. How do you want to use this budget? Epic battles? Marvel-level abuse of green screen technology?

RTD: I was thinking an elaborate goblin musical number

The Mouse: …

RTD: They sing about eating babies.

We do NOT give Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith their props for their character growth in the Parting of the Ways. Rose is absolutely amazing, an absolute ferocious beacon of hope and stubbornness and bravery in the finale, the absolute reason why the Doctor lives and the world is saved and an equal hero to Nine, but she has a moment of doubt. A moment of hesitancy.

And Mickey Smith and Jackie Tyler step in and help her save the day. Both Mickey and Jackie give up on their idea of Rose and their hatred of the Doctor and help her pull open the TARDIS. Even within this one episode we see them struggle with their feelings and decide to put them aside and help do this because Rose is right- this is a better way of living your life.

Doctor Who is about ordinary people making extraordinary decisions and making themselves extraordinary and this doesn't just apply to official companions (who I love with all my might)- it applies to the people they love, too. We see it over and over again in Davies' era, with Jackie and Mickey and Sylvia and Tish and Wilfred and Francine and Harriet Jones and every one-off character as well, from Lynda-with-a-Y to Jabe to Gwyneth to Novice Hame to McDonnell to Sally to Chantho to Nancy to all the rest.

Doctor Who is at its strongest when the story is focused on the strength of the bleeding, beating heart of humanity (and character in general, in its non-humans), when the characters drive the story, when at the end of the day you understand why, for all of the world's flaws, the Doctor comes back over and over again because of people like this- not just his companions, but the Jackies and Mickeys and all the rest of the world.

I really need a headcanon of Timelords having super immunity to stuff like radiation and being able to "detox" poisons but being absolutely destroyed by regular human food, like

Rose: what happened?? Are you okay??

The Doctor, lying nearly dead on the floor of the Tardis, one heart not beating, barely breathing: accidently drank appy juice :(

I would also really encourage people to read up about Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner and how they treated Eccleston while shooting season 1 of Doctor Who in 2004/5. A good place to start is Eccleston's memoir where he writes in detail about how insensitive RTD and BBC producers were to his health struggles, and the rights of the crew which Eccleston helped fight for that got him blacklisted by the BBC. There are also plenty of interviews where Eccleston talks about how hard he had to fight Russell on using his natural accent. RTD was also showrunning Doctor Who and Torchwood the whole time John Barrowman was sexually harassing cast and crew. When I say I don't like RTD Who it's not just a subjective thing of not liking his ideas, there's very tangible reasons to do with how he's treated people in the past. I hope he's changed, learned lessons, etc. But the BBC have made a huge effort to bury this stuff because it's bad publicity for them, and people really need to remember he's not the perfect showrunner the PR hype wants you to believe. Don't fall for nostalgia.
