MOAR
SPOILERS! This time for next year's new era of Doctor Who because
there have been more casting announcements and they're...
interesting. Not good or bad as yet but interesting. More under the
photo.
Actually its
been thirty-five years now I think about it. The last time there were
four in the TARDIS was the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adric. So
basically I'm looking forward to seeing what can be done with a crew
that size under a vaguely competent writing team.
For
reference since we don't know who aside from Chibnall is writing this
series: any modern writing
team, compared to rambling incompetence of Season Nineteen, would be
seen as competent. The Master was wearing the corpse of one of the
companions as a skinsuit and somehow this failed to come up in the
season finale when the two characters met multiple times. They killed
a companion and consciously chose the one nobody liked and still gave
the episode silent credits.
And
that was probably the best written of Davison's three seasons.
But,
yes, four regulars. Potentially a bit crowded given the length of
modern episodes but seeing how it didn't work too badly in any River
episode from Matt Smith's first two and a bit seasons there's more
than enough reason to hope. Also, Bradley Walsh will be the oldest
companion ever (actor-wise, because obviously Romana...) and I am
interested in what that's going to bring to the role.
