How Behind-the Scenes Issues Affected the Writing of Doctor Who (Both Good and Bad)

Doctor Who is such a fascinating show to look at from a Watsonian v. Doylist perspective. Like, entirely just from an episode writing point of view:

Twice Upon A Time feels so slow and meandering and even boring in places because Chris Chibnall didn't want to start his run as showrunner and Steven Moffat didn't want the show to lose the coveted Christmas timeslot (ironic, I know) so he bumped the Twelfth Doctor's regeneration from the end of The Doctor Falls (where it makes sense) to the end of the Christmas special

Boom Town (my beloved) only exists because originally there was going to be an episode in its spot explaining that Rose had been molded to be the Doctor's perfect companion (by the Doctor, gross) and the writer didn't have the time to commit to the show

The ending of Last Christmas feels like one inside-a-dream too many because originally Jenna Coleman was questioning whether she was going to leave the show or not and the ending was rewritten after the first readthrough when she decided she wanted to stay for another season

The first five episodes of Season 7 feel like each one takes place in a different genre because that's literally how Steven Moffat pitched it to the writers; for example, A Town Called Mercy was literally pitched as "Doctor Who does a Western"

Not so much a weird one but one I find cool: Eleven's first words and Thirteen's first words were literally written by Moffat and Chibnall respectively, as they were brought in to write the first words of the first Doctors of their runs so as to make it cohesive

The reason why Fourteen isn't wearing Thirteen's clothes when he regenerates is because Jodie Whittaker is much shorter than David Tennant and Russell T. Davies didn't want it to look like he was making fun of the genderfluidity of the Doctor (still think he made the wrong decision, but eh)

Wilfred Mott isn't in the Runaway Bride and Donna's father isn't in Partners in Crime because the actor who played Donna's father, Howard Attfield, died after filming several scenes for Partners In Crime, leading to the character of "Stan Mott" from Voyage of the Damned being written into Partners In Crime as Donna's grandfather

Astrid Peth doesn't die in the original drafts of Voyage of the Damned, but Russell T. Davies wrote what is generally considered one of the most emotional deaths in Doctor Who just because he wanted Kylie Minogue to be able to focus on her music career

Originally Oxygen was written as a prequel to Mummy on the Orient Express, where a corporate representative appeared on a monitor. Said representative was fired for his fumbling of the station and would later live on as the company computer, Gus

During Season 11, Chris Chibnall had to do some major rewrites for many of the one-off episodes, therefore The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos ended up being a first draft that made it to screen. He later admitted it was his least favorite episode of the series

And this is only a fraction of what I found in terms of major behind-the-scenes writing reasons. Though I am still totally willing to critique the product that made it to our screens, finding out the reasons behind some of the more badly written episodes of the show really made me feel sympathy for every showrunner of the show as well as appreciate a lot of the good episodes that ended up here despite the short production schedule/unexpected problems (once again, Boom Town my beloved AND everyone's favorite companion Wilfred Mott only exist because of unforseen problems). Absolutely bonkers, isn't it?

(For context, Discord recently added the polls feature, and upon getting it yesterday, I tested it out by asking the above question in the server. Soon, I realized I never used Tumblr's poll feature and decided to bring that question here for all of Duckblr to answer. Happy voting!)

"Twice Upon A Time" is really the reverse "The End of Time" and I kinda love that?

10 has a meltdown about sacrificing himself, sees regeneration as death, literally holding off regeneration as long as possible. It's sad, but it made sense for the character I suppose?

Then we have 12, who doesn't want to live any longer and still holding off regeneration as long as possible because of that. And then his breakthrough is that he sees regeneration as life and that's where we leave him.

I remember reading about the WW1 Xmas truce of 1914 as a kid.

Amazing, baffling stuff.

An incident which was beautifully recreated in the 2017 Doctor Who Xmas special, Twice Upon a Time.

One of a few moments in the series that moved me to tears.

(Not my clip, all rights belong to the BBC. Credit to the uploader on YouTube)

With the First and Twelfth Doctors both witnessing it.

Beautifully poignant stuff.

Being a true galaxy-brained Doctor Who fan is hitting the epiphany that every showrunner had their strengths and their weaknesses and their own interpretations of the Doctor and you can like or dislike any aspect of any showrunner and acknowledge their genuine mistakes/bad choices/yikes decisions (such as racism, sexism, homophobia, questionable undertones, lack of agency for female characters, etc.) and it is COMPLETELY VALID to have that turn you off of a Doctor/showrunner but also acknowledge that some of the things that people have considered bad writing over the years are often personal preference (valid opinion, not always valid fact) and that just as there are clunkers in every season, there's something to appreciate about every showrunner and every Doctor.

After all, "The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't always spoil the good things and make them unimportant."

#listen i am in my doctor who renaissance and i love every doctor in their own ways and dislike/like every writer for at least one thing #not a fan of how steven moffat stripped amy & river of agency but loved the fairytale vibes & heaven sent & a Christmas Carol and Bill #adored the character writing for nine and ten and their companions but you cannot ignore a lot of the antiblack writing for RTD #love the stripped back/intimate storytelling of Season 11 & the Graham&Ryan arc & the writing of 13 as a character but Thasmin is underdone #& boy is that Nazi moment with the Master all kinds of screwed up #every actor to play a companion or a doctor is amazing #I'm a big fan of some of the “worst” episodes #love & monsters end of the world tsuranga conundrum resolution curse of the black spot my beloved #and really don't like some of the more popular episodes #wedding of river song time of the doctor twice upon a time girl in the fireplace etc.#but it's all personal preference #every doctor has some of the best episodes television has ever produced #it takes you away midnight heaven sent last of the time lords 3 parter boom town parting of the ways god complex vincent & the doctor #this is a show designed to be amazing and terrible and campy and episodic and constantly renewing itself and constantly trying new things #and I LIKE THAT #I LOVE THAT #ninth doctor #tenth doctor #eleventh doctor #twelfth doctor #thirteenth doctor #russell t davies #steven moffat #chris chibnall #meta

rewatching hbomberguy's video essay ripping apart twice upon a time with his bare hands . he was cooking and he burnt m*ffat alive

#i do think he misunderstands rusty the dalek's impact on twelve #bc it does retread a lot of ground but it's important bc it happens very early in twelve's life #he's straight up told there's not enough love in him anymore there's just hatred #and twelve.. kind of deeply incorporates that into his self perception #so that's a criticism i don't particularly agree with (along w christmas invasion. hbomb that's a camp masterpiece b quiet)#but he's pretty right about twice upon a time and how the episode falls flat #along with some pretty key criticisms about the era. i think this is why twelve and clara didn't #DEEPLY hit me like i thought they would have #dr who #12 era
