No season of Doctor Who in 2019

The BBC has announced there won't be a 2019 season of Doctor Who, but we will get a New Year's special on 1 Jan (instead of the more traditional Christmas Special) and the series will return in 2020.

This news, while disappointing, isn't a surprise. There had been talk the new writing team didn't feel they could do the show justice while still churning out a full season each year, and even rumors they (and Jodie Whittaker, could depart).

I think this year's season has been excellent; episode one was a little shaky for me, but since then it seems to have gone from strength to strength, and I love Whittaker in the role of Doctor. It's going to be a long wait, but I'm confident the 2020 season will be worth it.

Update: we’ve also been gifted with a trailer for the New Year’s special.

  1. Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
    I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
    The style and design look great though! Hope you get the
    problem fixed soon. Kudos

    1. Hey, thanks for the feedback on the site design and for making sure I knew about the rendering issues with Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer isn't supported by my site; I had to make the decision to deliberately not support it as it requires coding too many exceptions into the site code to accommodate Internet Explorer's quirks (even Microsoft are now begging people to stop using it). As less than 10% of my traffic is from people using the browser, I couldn't justify the extra cost of making it work properly. I'm sorry you received a less-than-stellar experience and hope you understand why I had to make the call not to support IE.
