• [RUMOUR] Show runner quit / fired from "Doctor Who"??

    From Your Name@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, June 07, 2026 20:12:18

    The latest rumour is that Russell T Davies is no longer involved in
    "Doctor Who", and it sounds like he has gone even loonier. He also says
    a press release about the show is coming in the next week or two.


    Is Russell T Davies Out Of Doctor Who?
    BBC Clash Fuels Exit Speculation
    --------------------------------------
    Russell T Davies has sparked fresh questions about whether he has
    already left Doctor Who after interviews linked his BBC dispute
    over X directly to the sci-fi series.

    Davies, who returned as Doctor Who showrunner in 2021, previously
    revealed that he had recently run into "very big problems" at the
    BBC.

    Speaking to HuffPost UK, Davies said he had "refused to be part
    of any press release that went on Twitter".

    "I said, I'm taking my name off anything [that goes on Twitter/X],"
    he said, arguing that "there is no way a publicly-funded
    corporation should be posting on a hate site".

    At the time, Davies did not specifically say the dispute related
    to Doctor Who. But a new interview with The i Paper now appears to
    make that connection explicit.

    The publication reported that Davies "hates the way the online
    conversation has spun out of control so much that when he worked
    with the BBC on Doctor Who, he demanded that they stop publicising
    the show on X".

    That wording is potentially notable for two reasons. First, it
    appears to connect his "very big problems" at the BBC to Doctor
    Who's publicity strategy. Second, it refers to his time on the
    programme in the past tense.

    The phrasing comes at a time when the future of the show, and
    Davies' place in it, remains unclear.

    Davies told The i Paper: "It's a public service broadcaster
    posting on a hate platform."

    He added: "It's not the town square it pretends to be. It's a
    privately owned hate platform, owned by a megalomaniac [Elon Musk]
    who is pushing ill on many of us."

    Speculation has also been fuelled by Davies' recent comments on
    the Full Disclosure podcast with James O'Brien. Asked what he was
    doing next, he replied: "I don't actually know..."

    He mentioned a 2027 stage version of It's A Sin, then added: "I'm
    kind of not rushing to write the next thing... I won't be back
    filming anything until next year, really."

    That comment is striking because Doctor Who's previously
    announced Christmas special would need to film this year if it
    were to air in December 2026.

    A recent report claimed the festive special is in doubt, with the
    show reportedly struggling to lock down an actor to play the
    Doctor.

    Davies has, however, insisted that an announcement is coming.
    Speaking on The Radio 2 Breakfast Show, he said there was "a press
    release lumbering through the BBC" and promised "some sort of press
    release" in "about a week or two weeks".

    That suggests Davies remains close enough to the process to know
    an announcement is being prepared. But it does not confirm whether
    he will continue as showrunner beyond a Christmas special that may
    or may not be happening...

    So is this the one where the prejudiced racist and sexist bigot refused
    to agree to publicise the show on X because he despises free speech and everything that Elon Musk stands for, like space exploration,
    colonisation of Mars, artificial intelligence, bettering ones self,
    merit, basically everything that science fiction is supposed to be based on?

    Lets see...


    ÿÿ Is Russell T Davies Out Of Doctor Who?
    ÿÿ BBC Clash Fuels Exit Speculation
    ÿÿ --------------------------------------
    ÿÿ Russell T Davies has sparked fresh questions about whether he has
    ÿÿ already left Doctor Who after interviews linked his BBC dispute
    ÿÿ over X directly to the sci-fi series.


    Seems it's true then.

    ÿÿ Davies, who returned as Doctor Who showrunner in 2021, previously
    ÿÿ revealed that he had recently run into "very big problems" at the
    ÿÿ BBC.

    ÿÿ Speaking to HuffPost UK, Davies said he had "refused to be part
    ÿÿ of any press release that went on Twitter".

    ÿÿ "I said, I'm taking my name off anything [that goes on Twitter/X],"
    ÿÿ he said, arguing that "there is no way a publicly-funded
    ÿÿ corporation should be posting on a hate site".


    Oh really? Then why did he turn Doctor Who into a vehicle of hate
    against straight white men? Why did the bigot race swap Isaac Newton
    into an Indian which fomented racial hatred? Why did he made the Doctor
    gay and effeminate? Why did he have him making racist remarks against
    white people? Why did he dedicate a whole episode to lable Doctor Who
    fans including children incels, ie. insurmountably celibate. The
    disgusting woke child grooming pervert should have been sacked on the spot!

    People are still waiting for The War Between the Land and the Sea to be
    shown on Disney+, but Disney will probably never show it because it
    promotes bestiality.

    ÿÿ At the time, Davies did not specifically say the dispute related
    ÿÿ to Doctor Who. But a new interview with The i Paper now appears to
    ÿÿ make that connection explicit.

    ÿÿ The publication reported that Davies "hates the way the online
    ÿÿ conversation has spun out of control so much that when he worked
    ÿÿ with the BBC on Doctor Who, he demanded that they stop publicising
    ÿÿ the show on X".

    The disgusting degenerate piece of shit doesn't like that fact that fans utterly despise what he and Chibnall did to Doctor Who and called out
    his hatred for all most all of humanity and everyone that he perceives
    as being different to him and not agreeing with his perverted ideology
    which is the complete opposite of everything that Doctor Who used to
    stand for.


    ÿÿ That wording is potentially notable for two reasons. First, it
    ÿÿ appears to connect his "very big problems" at the BBC to Doctor
    ÿÿ Who's publicity strategy. Second, it refers to his time on the
    ÿÿ programme in the past tense.

    ÿÿ The phrasing comes at a time when the future of the show, and
    ÿÿ Davies' place in it, remains unclear.

    ÿÿ Davies told The i Paper: "It's a public service broadcaster
    ÿÿ posting on a hate platform."

    I think what Davies meant to say was that the BBC "is a public service broadcaster that have been turned into a hate platform," by sick and degenerate far-left ideologies like himself.


    ÿÿ He added: "It's not the town square it pretends to be. It's a
    ÿÿ privately owned hate platform, owned by a megalomaniac [Elon Musk]
    ÿÿ who is pushing ill on many of us."


    Elon Musk condemned racist and sexist hate on X along with those
    fomenting it. Elon Musk stood up to hypocritical left-wing extremist
    bigots like Christopher Nolan and called them out as the racists and
    bigots that they are hiding behind hypocritical virtue signalling
    because Musk is fighting for real diversity, inclusion, and
    representation, for everyone, and not at other people's expense. That's
    why degenerates like Russel T Davies can't stand him.

    Where is the Greek representation in The Odyssey Christopher Nolan? Why
    didn't you cast a single Greek, Greek American, or Greek British actor
    in it at all? Don't you think Greeks are good enough to represent their
    own literature, history, and culture? Elon Musk called you out as an anti-white racist, but you are not just anti-white, you are a complete
    racist because black people don't feel represented by being forced to
    watch themselves being race swapped to play white Europeans either
    instead of people from their own literature, history, and culture who
    were actually black.

    ÿÿ Speculation has also been fuelled by Davies' recent comments on
    ÿÿ the Full Disclosure podcast with James O'Brien. Asked what he was
    ÿÿ doing next, he replied: "I don't actually know..."

    ÿÿ He mentioned a 2027 stage version of It's A Sin, then added: "I'm
    ÿÿ kind of not rushing to write the next thing... I won't be back
    ÿÿ filming anything until next year, really."


    So no Christmas special either, unless it's already been filmed in
    secret, which seems unlikely.

    ÿÿ That comment is striking because Doctor Who's previously
    ÿÿ announced Christmas special would need to film this year if it
    ÿÿ were to air in December 2026.

    ÿÿ A recent report claimed the festive special is in doubt, with the
    ÿÿ show reportedly struggling to lock down an actor to play the
    ÿÿ Doctor.


    How about it trying to lock down an audience first instead of attacking
    and insulting it and driving everyone as far away from it as possible, a
    sick and depraved woke ideology also being practised by the clueless degenerates running Amazon which have just cancelled the revival of
    Stargate because it was written to appeal to its actual fans, but Amazon doesn't believe that Stargate's actual fans should be allowed to enjoy
    it. Instead it wants to lecture them on decisive race, gender, and
    identity politics and start a Civil War as Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has predicted if this disgusting bigoted ideology keeps being pandered to
    for votes and woke points.
    ÿÿ Davies has, however, insisted that an announcement is coming.
    ÿÿ Speaking on The Radio 2 Breakfast Show, he said there was "a press
    ÿÿ release lumbering through the BBC" and promised "some sort of press
    ÿÿ release" in "about a week or two weeks".

    ÿÿ That suggests Davies remains close enough to the process to know
    ÿÿ an announcement is being prepared. But it does not confirm whether

    Probably one announcing that he's been sacked if the BBC really wants to
    bring Doctor Who back to out screens.

    ÿÿ he will continue as showrunner beyond a Christmas special that may
    ÿÿ or may not be happening...


    If he continues as showrunner Doctor Who will stay dead and no one will
    either watch or fund his degenerate perversion of it.

    Sounds like he hates Elon Musk.

    Perhaps RTD still believes he's the golden boy who can demand anything
    he wants, including that the BBC repudiate Musk and all Musk's works. If
    so, I think he's wrong. He's much less valuable now than when they
    wanted him back, and the BBC ditching X is unlikely to happen.


    Davies told The i Paper: "It's a public service broadcaster

    who is pushing ill on many of us."

    This tells me that he's gotten a little out of touch.

    There are people who hate Musk, but RTD's going much too hard for a
    public figure. "Megalomaniac with a hate platform" is what we expect to
    see in the crannies of Reddit, not quoted in the press.

    established.

    Yeah, and Facebook is the love platform.

    All "social media" is the crap platform. They should all be banned. :-)
