Supposedly ...
ÿÿ Potential new leaks/information regarding the 2026 Christmas Special
ÿÿ --------------------------------------------------------------------
ÿÿ Just thought I would share a few tidbits I came across on the Doctor
ÿÿ Who leak Discord and a certain scooper's Patreon page this week.
ÿÿ Nothing major, and it could all be total BS, but with how dry things
ÿÿ are at the moment, I thought it would still be interesting to
ÿÿ discuss, especially given how much actually leaked last year.
ÿÿ 1.ÿ The current plan is to film the 2026 Christmas Special sometime
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ in Spring 2026.
ÿÿ 2.ÿ The working title is The Lost Doctor.
ÿÿ 3.ÿ Both Billie Piper and David Tennant are expected to reprise
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ their roles - as well as Yasmin Finnley as Rose Noble (and a
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ possible cameo from Ncuti)
ÿÿ 4.ÿ The draft script is currently circulating around the BBC as
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ pre-production rapidly gets underway.
ÿÿ 5.ÿ The story is described as " a big space hopping adventure with
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ a Guardians of the Galaxy style feel, with a ww2 narrative
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ thrown in".
ÿÿ 6.ÿ The plot reportedly follows the Fourteenth Doctor, Billie
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Piper's Rose, and Rose Noble as they attempt to find the true
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Sixteenth Doctor, who has been kidnapped by the mysterious boss
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ type character. The Daleks will also be featured who in the
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ backdrop will be plotting a universe wide invasion.
ÿÿ 7.ÿ Pre production is well underway, particularly for a brand new
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Dalek design - "the daleks do some really interesting things in
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ the current script which has made me extremely curious on how
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ this new design will turn out".
ÿÿ 8.ÿ The Sixteenth Doctor will not be fully revealed (if at all
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ depending how things go) until the end of the episode and will
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ spend most of the story "locked within the regeneration process".
ÿÿ 9.ÿ This is apparently RTD's final episode, so expect loose ends from
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ seasons one and two to be tied up here.
ÿÿ 10. Going forward, the BBC reportedly wants to use this special to
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ set a new standard for the show. Instead of eight episode seasons
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ every year, they are hoping to follow a Sherlock style model with
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ three to five large scale episodes released every year or so.
ÿÿ 11. The BBC is currently searching for a new showrunner for a fresh
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ season in 2027 or 2028. Names reportedly being considered include
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Jack Thorne (who has apparently just written a Lord of the Flies
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ series for the BBC which they are incredibly pleased with), Neil
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Cross, Miguel Sapochnik (approached, but unlikely), and Sally
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Wainwright. However, I have heard that RTD and Bad Wolf are
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ strongly pushing for Pete McTighe to take over, while the BBC is
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ less enthusiastic. The new Doctor also won't be cast until the
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ next showrunner is decided.
