| | |
| == Overview ==
| |
| === Early announcements ===
| |
| In [[May (production)|May]] [[2017 (production)|2017]], it was announced that due to the terms of a deal between [[BBC Worldwide]] and [[SMG Pictures]] in [[China]], the company has [[Right of first refusal|first right of refusal]] on the purchase for the Chinese market of past and future series and spin-offs of the programme.<ref>http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2017-06-03/the-bbc-is-already-preparing-for-at-least-five-more-series-of-doctor-who</ref><ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/worldwide/2017/doctor-who-china</ref>
| |
| | |
| In [[October (production)|October]] [[2019 (production)|2019]], it was revealed that due to the show heading to [[HBO Max]], the network had struck a deal for additional series of the programme.<ref>https://vocal.media/futurism/doctor-who-series-13-and-14-confirmed-hbo-max-reveals-but-will-whittaker-stick-around</ref>
| |
| | |
| === Return of a showrunner ===
| |
| On [[29 July (production)|29 July]] [[2021 (production)|2021]], following the announcement of [[Jodie Whittaker]] and [[Chris Chibnall]]'s departure, the [[BBC]] noted, "We will announce plans for the new generation of Doctor Who in due course – watch this space!"<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-next-doctor-showrunner-newsupdate/</ref>
| |
| | |
| The new series and Davies' return were first teased by [[Piers Wenger]] when he said an upcoming change for ''Doctor Who'' would be "radical" on [[25 August (production)|25 August]].<ref>https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tvinsider.com/1010894/doctor-who-season-13-changes-jodie-whittaker-exit/amp/</ref>
| |
| | |
| It was noted in a big reveal by the BBC on [[24 September (releases)|24 September]] 2021 that [[Russell T Davies]] would make his return in the 60th anniversary in [[2023 (releases)|2023]] and remain as [[head writer]] in "series beyond".<ref name="RTD" />
| |
| | |
| Davies first hinted at this reveal earlier that same day, telling his [[Instagram]] followers to watch for "News incoming 3.15pm", in a post which featured artwork of his forehead in front of [[Gallifrey]].<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CUNQMyssvfx/?utm_medium=copy_link</ref> Like the preceding [[Series 13 (Doctor Who)|series 13]]<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-11-21/doctor-who-series-13-happening/</ref> the series was announced as happening before the previous series had even begun broadcasting.
| |
| | |
| Commenting on his return, Davies said:
| |
| {{Quote|I'm beyond excited to be back on my favourite show. But we're time-travelling too fast, there's a whole series of [[Jodie Whittaker]]'s brilliant [[Thirteenth Doctor|Doctor]] for me to enjoy, with my friend and hero [[Chris Chibnall]] at the helm — I'm still a viewer for now.|[[Russell T Davies]]|https://cultbox.co.uk/news/russell-t-davies-back-as-doctor-who-showrunner}}
| |
| | |
| Chibnall himself added:
| |
| {{Quote|It's monumentally exciting and fitting that ''Doctor Who'''s 60th anniversary will see one of [[Britain]]'s screenwriting diamonds return home. Russell built the baton that is about to be handed back to him. ''Doctor Who'', the [[BBC]], the screen industry in [[Wales]] — and let's be honest everyone in the whole world — have so many reasons to be Very Excited Indeed about what lies ahead.|[[Chris Chibnall]]|https://cultbox.co.uk/news/russell-t-davies-back-as-doctor-who-showrunner}}
| |
| | |
| Speaking at a press event on [[11 October (production)|11 October]], Wenger said of the decision for Davies to return:<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/russell-t-davies-doctor-who-vision-newsupdate/</ref>
| |
| {{Quote|I almost think that I don't need to answer that question. I think bringing back Russell for Doctor Who was one of the least painful decisions I've ever had to make. How will he evolve that show? I mean, he is a man with a vision, for sure. But, you know, we are way off filming. We've got a new series starting at the end of the month, and a whole year of Jodie [Whittaker] to go yet. And lots of adventures ahead for her. And so I think it's just a bit early to say what his vision will be, but it was a very exciting opportunity for the BBC to bring him back.|[[Piers Wenger]]|https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/russell-t-davies-doctor-who-vision-newsupdate/}}
| |
| | |
| Speaking at a Q&A at the [[Oxford Union]] on [[10 December (releases)|10 December]], [[Steven Moffat]] said he knew about RTD's future plans for the show, saying:
| |
| {{Quote|I’m really curious to see what Russell’s second go-around is like, what he does now. Because being the restless man he is, it won’t be the same as the first time. Don’t think you know what you’re going to get. You don’t. And I know a little bit because we chatted. He wouldn’t be doing this unless he could scare the living shit out of you. So, it will be great.|[[Steven Moffat]]|https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-russell-t-davies-steven-moffat-newsupdate/}}
| |
| | |
| Speaking to [[Radio Times]] on [[14 February (production)|14 February]] [[2022 (production)|2022]], while talking about his show "''It’s A Sin''", Davies said:
| |
| {{Quote|The truth of it is that everyone lies when they leave ''Doctor Who'' and says they've moved on. I mean, I've been thinking about it since I was three, so there's no way you stop thinking about it. The reason I've worked on 34 programmes in my life is because I don't normally like continuing series. That's why ''It's A Sin'' came to an end and I just moved on. I like looking at a new set of challenges every time and a blank page – but ''Doctor Who'' is always a blank page. There are things coming up that are brand new ways of telling the stories that have never been done before, so it just feels new. I wouldn't go back if it wasn't feeling new. But that's the thing about ''Doctor Who'' – every episode is new. Every single episode. I'm sitting here now, 10 pages away from a climax thinking, 'God, I've never written in this territory before – this is strange and new' – so it's always new. It's a self-renewing show.|[[Russell T Davies]]|https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/russell-t-davies-tv-100-interview/}}
| |
| | |
| Speaking to ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 577|issue 577]] on [[28 April (production)|28 April]], [[Chris Chibnall]] revealed that he only knew about Davies’ return to the show 36 hours before the fans, having been told by [[Piers Wenger]] and [[Charlotte Moore]], but made it clear that he "''had a suspicion''".<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-russell-t-davies-returning-36-hours-newsupdate/</ref>
| |
| | |
| === Promotion ===
| |
| The very first bit of promotion for this series came on [[24 September (releases)|24 September]] [[2021 (production)|2021]] with the reveal that [[Russell T Davies]] would be leading the show from the 60th anniversary and into "series beyond".<ref name="RTD" />
| |
| | |
| On [[22 December (releases)|22 December]], Davies told [[The Guardian]] that he had already written a couple of his episodes for the new era, and confirmed that his first episode would indeed go out in [[November (releases)|November]] [[2023 (releases)|2023]], on the [[Anniversary|60th Anniversary]].<ref name="Guardian">https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/dec/22/russell-t-davies-i-genuinely-thought-who-wants-to-watch-a-show-about-aids</ref>

| |
| | |
| On [[14 March (releases)|14 March]] a group of "Year 10"'s and "Year 11"'s on a "Junior Apprenticeship" programme at "Cardiff and Vale College" got via "Screen Alliance Wales" to visit [[Wolf Studios]] to speak to crew, a sign that Series 14 preparations are well in creation.<ref>https://cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/new-crew-are-in-the-process-of-organising-doctor-who-at-wolf-studios</ref>
| |
| | |
| On [[4 April (releases)|4 April]], [[Head of Drama]] at [[Bad Wolf Productions|Bad Wolf]] [[Jane Tranter]] told ''Variety'' that production on the series would begin "later this year".<ref name="VariProd">https://cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/bad-wolfs-jane-tranter-affirms-doctor-who-will-go-into-production-later-this-year</ref>
| |
| | |
| On [[17 April (releases)|17 April]] it was revealed by [[BBC]] entertainment correspondent [[Lizo Mzimba]] in a [[BBC News]] article that the [[Jodie Whittaker]]'s successor as [[Fourteenth Doctor|the Doctor]] was "''expected to be revealed in the coming weeks''".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220418151736/https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-61111999 ''Doctor Who: Former companions to join Jodie Whittaker's farewell'' on BBC via the Wayback Machine]</ref>

| |
| Speaking on it, Ncuti said:
| |
| {{Quote|There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same. [[Russell T Davies]] is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor’s metaphorical playground. The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it’s daunting, I’m aware I’m joining a really supportive family. Unlike [[the Doctor]], I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show.|[[Ncuti Gatwa]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor}}
| |
| | |
| Showrunnner Davies added:
| |
| {{Quote|The future is here and it’s [[Ncuti Gatwa|Ncuti]]! Sometimes talent walks through the door and it’s so bright and bold and brilliant, I just stand back in awe and thank my lucky stars. Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of [[the Doctor]] and owned those [[TARDIS key]]s in seconds. It’s an honour to work with him, and a hoot, I can’t wait to get started. I’m sure you’re dying to know more, but we’re rationing ourselves for now, with the wonderful [[Jodie Whittaker|Jodie]]’s epic finale yet to come. But I promise you, [[2023 (releases)|2023]] will be spectacular!|[[Russell T Davies]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor}}
| |
| | |
| [[Chief Content Officer]] [[Charlotte Moore]] further added:
| |
| {{Quote|[[Ncuti Gatwa|Ncuti]] has an incredible dynamism, he’s a striking and fearless young actor whose talent and energy will set the world alight and take ''[[Doctor Who]]'' on extraordinary adventures under [[Russell T Davies]]’ new era.|[[Charlotte Moore]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor}}

| === Episode notes ===
| |
| * The large gap between the broadcast of the [[Centenary Special]] ([[Series 13 (Doctor Who)|Series 13]]), released in [[October (releases)|October]] [[2022 (releases)|2022]], and the broadcast of the [[Anniversary|60th Anniversary Special]], released in [[November (releases)|November]] [[2023 (releases)|2023]], marks the second time since the tradition began, that a [[Special|Winter Special]] has been omitted.
| |
| ** The first time this happened was when the [[Series 12 (Doctor Who)|Series 12]] opener ''[[Spyfall (TV story)|Spyfall: Part One]]'' was broadcast on [[New Year's Day]] [[2020 (releases)|2020]] instead.
