BBC Responds To Doctor Who Disney Rumours, MULTIPLE Spinoffs Coming?

The Doctor Who Disney drama continues, and is the Whoniverse expanding quicker than we thought?

What spinoffs are you hoping to see in the Whoniverse? 👀

[MistakenWhatnot]

Omg, an anagram of “War Between The Land And The Sea”
Is “A Bareheaded Welsh Wet Tennant” HE’S BACK….AND SOGGY!

[foolonthehill]

why are we getting two spinoffs when the main show only has 8 episodes in season 1? surely the main show should be the priority

[michaeltortorice]

Spinoff idea: David Tennant returns as 14 with Nicola Bryant as Peri, his therapist (because NB is now a fully qualified hypnotherapist). And it's just his sessions with her.
No, but really, Paul McGann series.

[MistakenWhatnot]

I predict WhoCulture turns out to have been a stealth, in-universe spin off all this time. Ellie and Sean are River and Nardole. I’ll let yous twos fight which is which.

I'd expect a UNIT spinoff that explains where the weird robot came from.
There were a lot of characters in UNIT this season and Kate is a strong character to center a show around.
Edit: Plus more chances to see Colonel Sexy in action.

Forget everything and just make the freaking time war spinoff already before McGann gets too old. Please. We’re begging you. Season 1 could be with McGann as we see the politics behind the time war before it begins, slowly engulfing all the universe despite the Doctor trying to ignore it. Season 2 could be with a new actor playing a younger War Doctor during the early days of the time war. It’d be a political thriller more in line with Andor.

If war between the land and the sea is about UNIT I really hope they bring back Osgood. I really miss her

[jeremyb]

Fully agree they're going to have to announce details of “War Between The Land And The Sea” very soon. Otherwise (presumably) people are going to start noticing cast members filming on beaches in south Wales in September!

About the disney+ viewing figures, as someone who watched this on disney+ as an international audience, the poster for doctor who on disney+ (the one that is recommended to people and is the thing that will be the show's first impression) was just...bad. The poster had airbrushed ncuti gatwa randomly placed next to floating colorful space or something. It was childish and honestly very unaesthetic. I feel like this dragged many new viewers away from the show because of how "unappetizing" the poster looked, and probably made the viewers think that it was not a very good show to consume. I am sure only people who know the show actually watched it and they failed to bring in new audiences. Marketing rlly needs to step up their game. Making the posters minimalistic, intriguing, while still retaining the magical feel of the show would probably increase viewing figures. Modern shows in Streaming know how important it is to make the streaming posters bold and inticing, DW just sticked onto the posters they used for promo for TV viewings. When I saw the poster, I knew that no one else other than people who are already fans of Doctor who would watch the show because it is just that bad of a poster.




SO SORRY FOR THE RANT I GOT CARRIED AWAY 😭😭😭

You've become my favourite, trustworthy DW source of information. Thank you for your work!

[lipgallagher]

Could I mention how much this season didn't make sense... We used to have scenes of Tennant and Piper having fun in the TARDIS and everything going crazy all of a sudden, and them ending up on a random planet. Now it seems like we've already missed half the story when we start the episode.

The War Between The Land And The Sea could be acronymised to TWBLS which is close enough to "tribbles" to be a play on words. :)

It was through Disney plus that I’m now a fan of doctor who. Here’s hoping all parties are on board

[SteveMND]

Not gonna lie; I am *very* worried that Disney [see edit below] is planning spinoffs already -- especially when the very first season they helmed here just finished so recently, and one which they are still getting their footing on. We all are aware of the fact that Disney tends to be... excessive when they get control of a franchise. A zillion MCU movies and spinoff shows, a zillion Star Wars movies and spinoff shows... and sadly, when you focus on quantity, you often start sacrificing quality.

[edit: yes, I know Disney obviously doesn't OWN Who now, but Disney, BBC, and Bad Wolf have all commented on their involvement. It's not *just* some generic distribution deal, so Disney's influence can not be simply dismissed.]

“EVERY EASTER EGG IN Doctor Who: The War Between the Land and the Sea | Series 1 - Episode 1 (How The War Started)”

[jakjak]

Personally I’d love the cast for the war between the land and the sea to be those characters we saw in the Welsh pub at the beginning of 73 yards, something about their dynamic seemed new-age Scooby Doo gang lol, genuinely that whole regular pub goers group—hidden society/club in plain sight— dynamic would be such a great jumping off point, not as integral/important as torchwood or unit (though the later could make an appearance), something that gently expands and pulls the whoniverse away from world ending cataclysms and into the realm of the creepy and weird happenings of some isolated little coastal village in wales where it’s the individuals that are in danger not the entire planet, something a little more stranger things and a little less marvel thanos snap

[BassandoForte]

"The War On The Shore" would have been a much better title...

[SimonPayne-jehi]

Could The War Between the Land and the Sea be A Major Episode introduction to a Unit/New Torchwood Series.

[mathieuleader]

A spin-off about the Kaled-Thal war would be great
