I’m not crazy about purported leaks and rumours, but this one has a whiff of truthiness?

    it won’t be like the Eccleston-Tennant-Smith run ever again.

    While I 100% agree, I felt the same way when the Pertwee - Baker - Davidson arc ended. (Under Terrance Dicks and company).

    Colin Baker was brilliant, but the new formula wasn’t going to capture the previous magic.

    But then Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy were each something new and weird and special. And McGann was a wild one-shot and then decades of competent audio.

    And then Eccleston-Tennant-Smith happened.

    I guess my point is that if the Terrance Dicks era had never ended, I never would have gotten to experience the Davies era.

    Also shoutout to Chibnall for knowing how to do a weird pallette cleansing season between more traditional stuff.
