Matt Strevens talking about Yaz all the way back in Doctor Who series 12 for Praxeus… the Doctorfication of Yazmin Khan is one of my favourite storyline’s in Doctor Who because how wonderful the payoff is in The Power of the Doctor

So we know captain jack ages at a much slower rate than non-immortal humans (wolverine rules) thanks to the flashback episodes of torchwood.

So like, the captain jack from series 12 has to be from some point quite far in his future, right?

This would explain how he knew about the lone cybermen, he could easily have lived through the whole cyber wars and then travelled back to warn the doctor that something very dangerous was sent back through time.

Also we know from the end of time that at some point jack goes off world so is it possible that at the time of revolution of the daleks there’s a captain jack out in space having all kinds of adventures for several centuries before going back in time to help thirteen.?

I love that cause it makes sense that after centuries alone jack would miss his old friends and catching up with gwen would mean so much to him, given he probably never said goodbye the first time round knowing jack.

Continuing from the Chibnall retrospective interview for Doctor Who Magazine issue 577:

Series 11 was the only one of Chris’ three seasons to operate a writers’ room, where ideas and scripts were nurtured in pre-production. “There weren’t many UK writers’ rooms at that time,” he explains. “It was a great way to work, because it gave everyone a shared language. And also, writing Doctor Who is a very lonely job. You’re sent off into the wilderness to do it and it’s very hard. We gave the writers episodic structures and supported them through the whole process. A lot of them were very involved in the production, and hopefully everyone learned from each other. It was really fantastic, and it’s how most shows are now made.

Chibnall really likes working with a writer's room as I've long suspected, especially through his interview in the Writer's Panel, and from what I've gathered from a different writer -- Jonathan Nolan, who went from a movie writer to a TV writer and adored having a writer's room because that meant he wasn't alone.

“Particularly in that first series, I spent a lot of time helping other writers. We had some problems towards the end and I had to go back and do some big rewrites. Which meant that the version of episode ten [The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos] that we filmed was a first draft. But I just didn’t have time to do a second draft. It didn’t feel enough like a season finale, and that was entirely down to time. So that’s my least favourite script of mine. But I really attacked Resolution, so hopefully I made up for it with that one.”

So my suspicions were right about the last few episodes in the pipeline but especially about the Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos -- I said I felt this episode needed another, especially as a season finale. As things shook out it seems Chibnall actually considered Resolution as the season finale of s11.

Volume 2: Series 12

According to CHRIS CHIBNALL, the middle part of the Thirteenth Doctor’s journey posed the question: “Could there be more to your life than you know?”

“The tentpoles are really clear in that second season,” says Chris Chibnall, surveying a list of the episodes that ran from 1 January 2020.

“It’s held up by the Spyfall two-parter at the beginning, Fugitive of the Judoon in the middle and the three-parter [The Haunting of Villa Diodati, Ascension of the Cybermen and The Timeless Children]. After teasing and trailing them, the Cybermen arrive in force at the end.”

He loved the cliffhangers, he adds – mentioning in particular the end of the first episode of Spyfall, in which Sacha Dhawan’s Master was first revealed. “We had a massive cliffhanger at the end of The Woman Who Fell to Earth, but I lamented not being able to do more of that in the first season; it’s difficult to make that sort of thing work when you’re trying to do more standalone stories.

This I want to give more attention to:

“We had a massive cliffhanger at the end of The Woman Who Fell to Earth, but I lamented not being able to do more of that in the first season; it’s difficult to make that sort of thing work when you’re trying to do more standalone stories.

Don't get me wrong I liked the standalone stories but I wish he did more of that ala flux, but tbh they could have gotten away with it if series 11 was at least 16 episodes long.

Their faces and the way the only time Thirteen willingly held another person's hand and it's her own hand. LOL.

NIDA MANZOOR! I loved her work in Tesla and Fugitive of the Judoon, I wish she could've returned for series 13 but alas COVID, and also she's doing great in her own show!

Was it always part of Chris’ plan to bring in another Doctor at this point?

“No, it wasn’t. We had the whole story for that episode, which had been on the shelf for a long time, and it was originally about another character – the Judoon were hunting an alien princess, or something like that.

I remember sitting down with Vinay [Patel, the co-writer] and saying, ‘We do this story, but the person they’re hunting is the Doctor.’ His face lit up and he went, ‘Oh… OK!’

“I knew we had to do something big in the middle of the three series, and this was literally halfway through – it was episode five in the second season. This is where it pivots.”

This is really interesting and the process here is very familiar with my own writing!

Chris regards the so-called Fugitive Doctor (played by Jo Martin) as a legitimate incarnation, but he’s not prepared to be definitive about exactly where she sits in the character’s now complex evolution. “That story is setting up the questions about what happened in the gaps. There could be any number of points in the timeline where the Fugitive Doctor could belong, but we deliberately haven’t said, ‘She sits here.’”

Does Chris have his own view of where the character belongs in that timeline? “I do have an opinion, but I’m not going to share it with you. As I said before, this is about expanding the mythology without breaking the mythology. 

I do like this approach because this means Jo Martin's Doctor can sit anywhere in the canon of Doctor Who and I like that while Chibnall expanded the lore, he's also not going to impose his own views on us, for example for me, Jo Martin's Doctor sits squarely in between the Second and Third Doctor's run.

thoschei moment. twin celestial bodies on a collision course, two beings as powerful as gods sowing carnage in their wake: as one incessantly searches and creates, the other desperately ruins and destroys. they orbit one another for all eternity but even the slightest touch would bring about mutual annihilation. whenever one is imprisoned the other frees them from their cage fully conscious of the damage it will cause and both have left their home planet in ashes. they can never be together the consequences would be disastrous they can never be apart it always culminates in catastrophe. the impossible magnetic force pushing them together and pulling them away is locked in place forever as they burn through the vacuum of space

These are the pinnacle of Doctor Who Magazine covers IMO. Honestly though there should have been more Yaz.

This is every issue that had either 13, the Fam, the Master or the Fugitive Doctor on the cover. Aren't they a sight to behold.

I just wanted to share them because I don't think we see them enough. If you want to know which issue is which see below.

I did a survey on my Instagram about what people wanted to see for Inktober, and it turns out a lot of Whouffaldi people still follow me because this fanbase is dedicated af, so I figured I should get some practice in.

Over the course of several days, they all have nightmares

A cover for Part 6 of The Roads That Forgot How To Speak, more commonly known as Campervan AU - which is FINALLY POSTING after over a year since I finished posting part 5! This one is based on the episode Can You Hear Me? and also happens to be the longest thing I've ever written - so if you're desperately missing Thirteen and the fam after the end of Chibnall's era, then this fic is for you. I'm going to be posting weekly on Thursdays, and the first chapter is right here on ao3!

For anyone who doesn't know - Campervan AU is a human au of s12 of Doctor Who, featuring the Doctor as an amnesiac investigative journalist whose past very violently catches up with her in the form of the best friend that she forgot existed. The whole series can be found right here. Honestly I'm so happy to be posting this story again, I'm so excited for you guys to read certain chapters!

[rapha-reads]

Gonna be totally honest, I don't get how anyone can feel actual dislike towards Thirteenth and series 11-12. Indifference, yes, hatred/dislike? Why?

Edit: aaaand this got long, like most of my DW rants. Settle in, grab a cup of tea, a... Handful of dirt.

I just rewatched Praxeus and Can You Hear Me (12x06-07) and they're so interesting? So refreshing?

Edit: I'm mostly talking about Praxeus here because that's the aspect I want to develop, but Can You Hear Me is also very interesting to discuss in regards to another aspect of the show, less meta and more narrative. We'll get back to this later. Maybe.

First, Segun Akinola's score is beautiful. I already talked about it in another one of my posts (that I'm not going to look up now otherwise I'll be up til dawn), but it's subtler than Murray Gold's, but still very present and atmospheric. It's melancholic, and metallic, and ethereal, very 2020s, which totally suits Thirteenth. She's very paradoxical, Thirteenth, she's both very present and very distant, exactly like the music that surrounds her. I feel like this gif below, from Praxeus, describes rather well the feelings Akinola's music incite. The sort of wonder and nostalgic anxiousness at the beauty, force and fragility of planet Earth.

Secondly, the storylines in general are so much more... I wanna say heavy, but not in a negative or literal way. Heavy, as in, they get you to places in your psyche that you hadn't considered before, or in a long time. Which is something that Doctor Who has always done, by the way. But the feeling I get from having watched 2 episodes of Eleventh, one of Twelfth and 2 of Thirteenth in 3 days, is that previous narratives don't want to be too explicit about what they're about.

I'll explain. Praxeus talks about pollution, of the planet and of our own health. Other DW episodes have talked about that theme (though I cant think of one right now), but always in a manner that lets the viewer be reassured/distracted by the scifi elements. Praxeus is direct, and real. And I know what the critics are, "it's so preachy, it's so paranoid, bla bla". But... It's not? It's the actual reality? And what is science-fiction if not putting in the light our reality? What is Doctor Who if not a show about humans and Earth, at its core? And yes, maybe it's much more direct than before, but I invite you to look around you, look at the 21st century, look at these first years of the 2020s. The time for subtlety and gentleness is long gone, direct action, direct call to what must be corrected is what's needed.

And that's the strength of Doctor Who, I think, its adaptability to its time.
