My point is... with all this talk about waiting until S15/S2
airs before Disney decide on whether to order more episodes
of "Doctor Who" or not... and the BBC waiting on whether
Disney will invest further in Doctor Who, or not... somebody
at the BBC or Bad Wolf Studios MUST have a contingency plan
for either scenario. It wouldn't make sense for the bods at
the BBC to just be sitting around twiddling its thumbs until
June. RTD and the Doctor Who production office couldn't work
that way.

What about the other Series that Disney was supposedly
financing ....  'The SeaDevils' or some such?? Wouldn't that
give BBC/Bad Wolf a bit of time to get a third Series in the
Can??

"The War Between the Land and the Sea".

That's the one!!

That's either done or is in the process of being done as it's
scheduled to air around November/December. Disney+ have already
mentioned that in their 2025 schedule.

It always intrigues me why things have to be made/completed so far ahead

Theatrical release before going to T.V. .... but we all know THAT's not
gunna happen!!

That spin-off is the last five episodes of the 26 episode "first
order" (RTD's terminology) from Disney as part of their
partnership with the BBC.

A Doctor Who Christmas 'special' for 2025 was not part of the
"first order"... so if there is going to be one this year, Bad
Wolf would want to be making some sort of start on it by the
summer.

Plenty of time!!

 When was the last time you saw DW featuing David Tennant?

Earlier this afternoon, Binky, my ABC replayed "The Family of Blood"
Do YOU see, Binky, how most people can actually answer questions asked of them??
