If it's anything like the last one ("Time Lord Victorious")
it'll be smaller stories connected to an overriding bigger
storyline... so you could probably read the novels, comics or
listen to the audios (etc.) without any major knowledge of the
other. But yeah, it is just a cash grab to make the
fans/collectors buy multiple formats during a quiet time for the
show.
Personally, the Fugitive Doctor is not the Doctor I would have
chosen for a project like this, as she is not an incarnation

----------------------------------------------------
New mixed-media adventure 'Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker' coming to
the Whoniverse in 2026
The Fugitive Doctor leads an exciting new series of adventures
spanning across audio dramas, novels, comics and more.
BBC Studios, in collaboration with BBC Audio, Big Finish
Productions, Doctor Who Magazine, East Side Games, Penguin Random
House and Titan Comics are excited to announce the upcoming launch
of Circuit Breaker, a groundbreaking mixed-media Doctor Who story
set to debut in 2026.
Spanning audio dramas, comics, mobile games, novels, and digital
storytelling, Circuit Breaker is a bold new chapter in the
Whoniverse offering an ambitious interconnected narrative that
will unfold across multiple formats, inviting fans to experience
the mystery from every angle. The overarching narrative is crafted
by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, best-selling author and rising star in
speculative fiction and features Jo Martin as the Fugitive Doctor.
In Circuit Breaker, strange alien artifacts begin appearing inside
UNIT's Black Archive. Each object is unmistakably linked to a
different regeneration of the Doctor, but they've been tampered
with. A corrupted energy signature of unknown origin pulses
through them, and their sudden arrival has torn tiny ruptures
across time and space.
UNIT is out of options. To repair the damage and restore the
timeline, the objects must be returned to the exact moments they
were taken from. If not, the Doctor's adventures - and the
universe itself - could unravel.
To solve the mystery, UNIT calls upon a little-known incarnation
of the Time Lord: the Fugitive Doctor, played by Jo Martin, who
returns in a central role. But how does UNIT know about her? And
is she the Doctor they expect?
Jo Martin commented: "I'm thrilled to tell more stories about the
Fugitive Doctor and cannot wait for fans to unlock all the twists
and turns across the Circuit Breaker story. This character has
always meant so much to me, and it is a joy to continue building
her legacy and dive back into the Whoniverse."
Stephen Davies, SVP Global Licensing, BBC Studios added "Circuit

I wasn't that impressed with the "Time Lord Victorious"
multi-platform Doctor Who story from a few years ago, I found
it a bit lack-lustre as an overall project... so I won't be
holding my breath in eager anticipation of "Circuit Breaker".
Plus, I don't have much interest in the Fugitive Doctor anyway.

DW, while RTD gets hit shit together.
I would have chosen a more popular Doctor for that purpose. From
what I see the 'Fugitive Doctor' is a divisive incarnation among
fandom. More so than Jodie Whittaker in some places. So it seems
to me, on the face of it, a way of pushing her down fan's
throats in an attempt to legitimise her. (I could be wrong of
course, but that's what it looks like.)
If the BBC didn't feel comfortable to go with the last Doctor
(Ncuti Gatwa) and they wanted to sell books/audios/comics (etc.)
there are other Doctors out there that are more likely to ship
units than Jo Martin's incarnation.

I like the underlying idea. I think I'll pass on this, since I don't
care for Girl Doctor and don't like the highly sexual modern era, but I
like the idea of different media showing different takes on one complex >story.
It's important for each medium to have a complete story, though. If they
sell me only part of a story to bait me into buying more, that's a
ripoff.

The previous multi-format Doctor Who projects "Doom's Day"
and "Time Lord Victorious" were only okay... the BF audios
I heard were light-weight and the novels so-so.
I should probably get around to exploring the Time Lord
Victorious material one of these days. Even if it's meh, that
was a great arc which deserved a little more attention.
I would have liked to see a multi-episode arc on the show,
maybe even a whole season, if it weren't for the child
viewers.

The underlying idea is about making money and getting fans to
buy formats they might not usually buy... and hoping they stay
hooked.
It's important for each medium to have a complete story,
though. If they sell me only part of a story to bait me into
buying more, that's a ripoff.
The previous multi-format Doctor Who projects "Doom's Day" and
"Time Lord Victorious" were only okay... the BF audios I heard
were light-weight and the novels so-so. None of the stories
would go down as classics. Some by-the-numbers random
adventures, loosely linked together. I didn't buy all of the
stories from those projects though... so I might have lost out
on the overall excitement of the bigger story!!!

I would have liked to see a multi-episode arc on the show, maybe even a

have been confused and upset to see the Doctor acting like a bad guy for
so long, and that's a valid concern.

The audios were listenable but nothing special. My favourite
was probably the Tom Baker one ("Genetics of the Daleks"). With
the exception of the Short Trip story I'd have bought all of the
Big Finish TLV stories anyway. Generally I find their one-hour
stories lack depth and that's why I use the term light-weight.

There's a pattern. The more I know about something, the less impressed I
am with AI's attempts.
Did you see the AI South Park episodes, from last year or so? They
weren't terrible. If you liked South Park, they were watchable. If you
want *good* South Park, though, then Trey and Matt remain your only
source.
That's assuming the showrunners are still sharp, though. When they
aren't, AI seems like it might be a reasonable help to fanfic writers.

That's what all those type of writers are afraid of... being

Although some are probably using AI to assist 'their' writing

AI can be a good assistant when guided, true. I'm using one that way
right now, to fill out a world background, and it's okay as long as a
human is keeping an eye on things like scope, context, and
characterization.
We're rocketing toward in era in which it'll be possible to have
completely custom media. In fact, some people are already doing that.
They don't seem to be able to tell that there's nobody inside, which is
disturbing.
The Doctor and Romana had the same discussion in City of Death.
Unfortunately these no discussion like that in Doctor Whoke so AI wins.
I just found the "Doo-wop Pop" section in https://suno.com/explore
Looks like AI understands teenagers and teenage life and aspirations
better than RTD ever could.
Trying out "Calypso Surf" now. Looks like the AI figured that out
correctly too.
Pity today's woke degenerates don't have the foresight and understanding
of Douglas Adams.

Arcs kill off the show completely after you've seen the ending. Since
you now know how it ends and you've been conned yet again by all the
false turns you can never watch the series again ever.
Story arcs are bad writing and that is why they are woke because to be
woke is to be uninformed.

Doctor Who solved the problem by making six 4 to 6 episode long stories
on average per series so you had both a serial and an anthology.
Story arcs are bad for Doctor Who. Even Tom Baker said that for the Key
to Time and E-Space arcs on The Tom Baker Years VHS tape.
Now that I'm thinking about it, Lauren Faust could teach the current DW
showrunners a few things about making a show wildly appealing to both

The way you make a show appeal to both adults and children is to not
write it for 12 year old girls of very low intelligence. You write it
for boys and men portraying the hero's journey

All you need is an AI to do all the writing and a script editor to spot

Many shows have a mix of the two, with a skew more towards one type or
the other. Often a show, especially a US show, will start off as more >episodic and then changeover to being a long arc - one example, of
many, is "The X-files", which started off as more 'monster of the week'
and in about season 2 moved more to the long-winded alien conspiracy
theory as well as would Mulder and Scully become a couple.

episode. Either you make an anthology of totally disconnected unlinked >>>> self contained stories which anyone can watch in any random order they >>>> choose, like with Star Trek TOS and TNG, or you make make an independent >>>> serial.
I don't see what's woke about arcs.
I don't mind either approach, at least not fundamentally. The purely
episodic approach is great when a show's in syndication, making it easy
to hop in and out at any point.
Arcs do add interest when I'm watching a show for the first time,
though.
You guys are going to laugh, but My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic did >>> a good job of blending the two approaches. Each episode is fully
contained unless it's explicitly a two-parter, but the show has an
overall state which chugs along underneath, and the progress of that
state has a similar effect to story arcs. There are a handful of proper
arcs, and all are set up in the background so you won't feel left out if >>> you miss the arc revelation/resolution.
Now that I'm thinking about it, Lauren Faust could teach the current DW
showrunners a few things about making a show wildly appealing to both
children and adults.
Can the BBC hire Lauren?
They better not. Female writers do not have a clue how to write for
adult male audiences, boys over the age of six, or write romance and
science fiction. Lauren Faust is a children's writer writing child porn,
what do they call it in Japanese? manga or animie, for 12 year old girls
and boys under the age of 4, both of very low intelligence.

I never got the excitement over the term Babes. When I lived
in London women behind the counters in shops called me Love ...
"alright Love", "here's your change Love" (etc.) I never took it
as anything more meaningful than it was just a term some people
used... I certainly didn't think they loved me anyway! I saw
Babes as something similar, just a term used with no sexual

River Song used to use the term Sweetie... with "Hello Sweetie"

Gatwa probably would be harrassing women ... but only to find out where
they bought their make-up and handbags, to try on their clothes, ...

The 15th Doctor didn't actually sexually harass anyone... that
is an interpretation.
You should watch some 15th Doctor episodes though. Ncuti had
some good stories... okay the season endings didn't quite
land for me but the 15th Doctor showed a lot of promise. When
Ncuti Gatwa got a chance to shine he did well. Unfortunately,
some of the scripts let him down, big time. Both of his seasons
had companions who were special, so it became about them and
their story. Whilst the last Christmas special had another
'companion' who was so special she became a star in the sky!
Plus there was a lot of modern messaging interwoven throughout
the scripts, sometimes to the detriment of the story... the
message was often prominent whilst the plot details were scarce.

Welcome to the Club Melissa.
The club of women being told what we allegedly want to see? I've been in
that one a while. :)
There's no allegedly about it. It's what women have told me in person
and said to other women around them. For some reason they seem to fancy
Pedro Pascal. I have no idea why.
Part of the Doctor's appeal is that he's largely cerebral. Except for
Three, he's not much of a fighter. He *thinks* his way out of problems,
You don't have to wield a weapon in order to fight.
which is not unmasculine but isn't especially masculine either.
IMO he's a good hero for boys who are less traditionally manly than
some. He's a geek, not a fighter (except Three).
The majority of boys and men do not go getting into Wild West
shoot-outs. Well, except for William Hartnell in The Gunfighters.
Maybe I should watch some Ncuti Gatwa just to see what you guys are
talking about. The Doctor definitely shouldn't be sexually harassing
anyone.
It's all that Gatwa ever does. Instead of proving that he has superior >intelligence and is a competent leader he bullies and sexually harasses >everyone who doesn't accept his authority and makes indecent passes at
every guy he fancies as well as teasing and sexually harassing women.
This tells everyone with intelligence that the head writer Russell T
Davies is a sick degenerate narrow-minded sex obsessed pervert.
IMO, both "The Aztecs" and the Rose arc were mistakes, though I
fanwanked it by deciding that Time Lords had a mating cycle of about a
thousand Earth years. The show can have love stories, but the Doctor
himself shouldn't star in them.
The Doctor sowed his seed and became a grandfather. There is no need for
him to get into a sexual relationship with anyone, and lest of all a
man, especially one that he's only met for 10 minutes. The writers of
the show since it came back are sick sex obsessed perverts. Why do we
have David Tennant being chased for sex by Elizabeth I and Matt Smith >claiming Marlin Monroe was also after him?

Gatwa’s Doctor does the “making silly mistakes because he
doesn’t quite get social norms” thing that Capaldi did so much
better.
Sexually harassing a man who tells him stop and then doubling down on it
and bulling him as well is not making silly mistakes. It's deliberate
and systematic abuse and misconduct.
In this case, he calls people (of any gender) he’s just met by
affectionate names such as “babes” or “sweetie”. That’s all.
Those were not used in an affectionate manner. They were deliberatly
used to demean and harass a man who questioned his authority and
demanded that he prove who he claimed he was. When he told Gatwa that
this was inappropriate behaviour Gatwa doubled down on it to harass,
bully, and demean him even further. This also cemented the fact that
Gatwa was totally incompetent as a leader and Russell T Davies was an
even more incompetent writer.
I have a lot of relatives in Yorkshire and the ones of my parents’

It's sexual harassment. The man told Gatwa to stop and Gatwa immediately >doubled down on it and continued bullying and harassing him throughout

Learn the basic rules of story writing. All good stories contain

No she should not. Don't give Gatwa and Davies any reward for their
inappropriate behaviour and degenerate writing.
Thanks for the warning snippet. Yeah, I agree that I don't need to see

subject...
I was wanting to take your 'In theory, yes.' as you telling me I should
spend more time looking at Womens arses .... but, now, it seems you
DON'T want me to!!

I'll have you know a bag of chips and a saveloy was a good
meal back in the 80's and 90's. The women of London were
lucky to be getting it... all they'd get off the poor fellas
would be a salty gherkin!

Isn't a woman's arse more or less the same as a Guys
arse?? Do I need to spend more time on comparing them??
In theory, yes. In practice, I don't think so.

Neither did I .... but I've often wondered what would have

Yeah, but in all fairness it's not like Ncuti Gatwa would

He explicitly sexually harassed his companion and her mother

In your opinion.

Well, the Doctor didn't call him Babes again, did he?
Did you actually watch the episode?
Yes, but clearly people take different things from watching
the same episode! Your 'take' is fairly unique...
Is this the kind of example you want to set as a role model
for children or anyone?
My children would tell him to go fuck himself... on a

This isn't a matter of opinion. The woke define whistling at a woman's
arse as explicit sexual harassment and want to put people in prison for
doing it.

Gay men are totally obsessed with arses. It doesn't matter whose they
are and Gatwa could be bisexual or want to stick his cock up it
regardless. (Waiting for the fascist totalitarian Marxist state of the

The reason he would sexually harass a woman is because he's a woke
pervert and he already does it to men and sexually harasses everyone he >passes bye or passes him bye.

RTD is a sick sex obsessed woke pervert. It's thanks to child groomers

It sounds like there's a story there, so let's hear it.
Why can't you access gaming Discord groups?

How did this happen? Discord spotted grooming and shut the groups down
or something?
