and now he is back with Ace in a new 60th special coming this year.

not quite the final time. He is coming back very soon....

@@purefoldnz3070 I know. I'm excited, just wondering how I can watch it if I'm not living in the UK.

@@timrob12 yeah its really short sighted putting on iplayer only, Dr Who has a global fanbase.

@@purefoldnz3070 Guess I'm going to need a very good VPN.

@@timrob12 yup me too.

I met him and Sophie about a year ago and they were an absolute delight. He was genuinely sweet and very funny. He was everything I hoped for.

Ghost Light is my Favourite 7th Doctor Serial.

We there was books, comics, audios, video games, pinball games, board games, toy lines, albums, a charity special, 4 webcast miniseries, etc. But yeah I guess if you shut everything out except the 2 main shows and one movie none of which are directly linked to each other anyway, guess if you shut all that out there was "nothing for 15 years".

@@dommoore6180 Yes, but nothing in the traditional sense, those are all very different mediums. Dimensions in time wasn't going to attempt to bring back the show unlike the movie. (I did forget about scream of the shalka though)

@5SSS and death comes to time was meant to be a mainline ending to the series. Which just goes to illsutrate how the tv movie and subsequently new who are not the only official sequels (since they were willing to replace the tvm) to classic and that the idea that without tvm and new who there was nothing is massively reductive. There was more doctor who media released in the 90s than there was in the 70s or 80s. We weren't starved for visual/tv-like content either, be it the movie, or the webcasts, or the specials like dimensions in time. Sure it isn't a whole new season, but what of it? By the time we got tv seasons back they were called "series" and had next to nothing in common with the original show anyway! So what about it being on tv as a series makes it more legit than anything else released?

​@@dommoore6180 Not "reductive", but an honest appraisal. The Wilderness Years are referred to as such for a reason. Much like Doctor Who as a whole was widely perceived as "dormant" without a companion, on-air TV show. The general perception still being that Doctor Who *is* the show. Not the expanded media.

@pious83 except there's two entirely separate shows and another totally separate movie that are only vaguely linked by continuity, so no doctor who isn't "the" show. And on top of that there was 2 separate webcasts which fans now refer to as "expanded media" both of which were considered mainline doctor who on release, one of which was intended to replace the tvm making that non canon! The implication is that if new who doesn't count it then it's "expanded media" but that's not a reality that's just being selective and only focusing on what is currently canon. It isn't even a case of only focusing on live action media because we all ignore the Cushing movies and nobody counts Fatal Death or Dimensions in Time. And on top of all that we had the New Adventures which were *also* "the" official sequel to classic who at the time. Doctor who isn't 1 show and what is currently canon isn't all of what was released as mainline doctor who. And given all the media that did come out it is ridiculous to act as if it was some tragic disappearance in the 90s.

Weird opinion. Why do you think that?

…RTD isn’t letting Disney having control, only financial support… you knob head!

@@Futures_Enddon’t worry, the guy thinks he is clairvoyant

@@Futures_End A large portion of the fandom thinks they know how the new era will be before a single episode has aired lol. I'd ignore them
