Terrifying weapon from S1? - that jukebox in the wrong hands. Also, did everybody notice the polaroid on the mantelpiece in the photoshoot RTD + Moff did for Radio Times?
Plot twist! Ellie could be one of the surprise writers. Ellie writes a charming episode about River Song that is revealed near the end of it to be a dream that the Doctor was having. It was part of the way for the Doctor to try to process having to say goodbye to yet another companion. The memories of River Song, while still bringing a sense of loss, also provide the Doctor some comfort. Because of the way that their encounters were out of order, it kind of reminded the Doctor that endings can also be beginnings.
Charlie Brooker has also been a very successful comedy series writer in the UK. So he's perfect for balancing the sci-fi, scariness, & comedy that Doctor who is known for. Peter capaldi does not have many writing and directing credits, but he did win a freaking Oscar and BAFTA for it so I'd like him to write and/or direct Doctor who
The weapon could be Satellite 5. It was used to control the people's lives, why couldn't it be used as a weapon. Also, it was a significant part of the 9th Doctor's timeline and, Adam is still out there somewhere possibly very angry at the Doctor for the way he left him.
I doubt that ANYTHING on that magazine cover will have an relevance to the xmas episode. To paraphrase Freud, "Sometimes a promotional magazine cover is just a promotional magazine cover."
Options for the mystery weapon: - Using the London Eye to transmit a delta wave - The hungry wheelie bin - Lady Casandra's sabotage spiderbots - Acetic acid - The squareness gun
Could it be the nano-tech from the Ambulance , It was kinda a weapon, maybe it got corrupted was turned to a weapon, The gas-mask face people were quite terrifying
if this really will be Moffat's final Doctor Who script, I wonder if he will use this a chance to tie up any lose ends/bug bears that were throughout his era.
The last time we saw the image of Rose as Bad Wolf was as the personification of The Moment - a superweapon unto itself. This is looking fairly plausible.
If the duck pond is a portal to the 1970s, I wonder who might step through. Could it be a couple of senior citizens who grew up in Leadworth? The fact that the Doctor can never again take the Tardis to NYC during the 1930s is no reason that Amy and Roary couldn't hop on a plane and meet the Doctor in Cardiff at some point in the 1950s. Roughly enough time has passed for Karen and Arthur to be the right age for that. However, they could also stumble across a Leadworth time portal. All it would take is a little age makeup. But I am positive that will not happen in Joy to the World. Please prove me wrong. Please prove me wrong. ;-)
Honestly, the possibility of 9 and 11 connections shouldn’t be TOO surprising if they’re starting to bring in wholly new writers who could be fans of the show itself. The more younger and recent writers you get, the higher the chance they’re more of a fan of the modern Who stuff than anything classic, so them writing in references back to 9 or the other NuWho Doctors kind of feels overdue at this point considering 9’s era is quickly approaching 20 years old. Those little kids who watched 9’s run are adults now are probably ready to reference the Doctor that started them off, as well the other Doctors. Makes me super curious what else we might see.
Also teens who watched all of new who catching up and continuing to watch during 11's run which is over 10 years old now would be adults as well. I mean, let's say someone was 9 when they started watching in 2012, caught up with it then, and continued watching since. They're 21 now. Which is young, but it's an example. Or for an older example, let's say they were born in 2000, started watching during 2011 catching up and watching all of 9,10, and getting through 11 during final years of 11's run, then continued watching until now, that's 24 year old who'd have loved the show, but only started watching during 11's run but caught up and enjoyed 9's personality and 11 would hold a place close to their heart because 11 was who they started watching because of. The more time that passes, the more chances an adult that grew up on new who could become a writer for it
The Duck Pond being a time portal could be a reference to the 1970's TV series Catweasel, about a time travelling medieval sorcerer who used small bodies of water as portals to leap between the 11th century and the 1970s Incidentally, Catweasle was played by Geoffrey Bayldon, who appeared in Doctor Who in 1979, turned down the role of the doctor in the 1960s and then Played the 1st Doctor in a Big Finish productions in 2003 and 2005
You could hire someone who'd written audio drama or comic books (which are effectively storyboards). Given the amount of DW audio and comic book material there are established DW writers who might never have had a TV script.
I reckon the duck pond was never actually a duck pond but a dormant portal waiting to open that Christmas Day for Joy To The World(s) but that’s just a theory!
It's unlikely, but with the synergy of releasing alongside coloured version of The War Games, what if the Warlords are in charge of Vilenguard. The War Lords in charge of the weapons manufacturing company makes sense as an idea.
Opinion here: pay Matt smith all the money to do a season or two with Ncuti Gatwa and have the two doctors as each other companions maybe a running joke of he my companion against the master, smith never got a master arch because frankly I thing Matt smith was my doctor and I didn’t want him to leave and I think the two’s chemistry who be amazing
There's a leak about Matt Smith playing the latest incarnation of the Master in 2025, so you may or may not get your wish if it turns out to be true since Matt is busy doing other things...
"Wild idea" totally out of the blue, without any basis in fact: Wouldn't it be great if the "first time writer" was a former Doctor? (Keep in mind when I say this I don't know if any of them actually have writing experience) What if the "new" writer is Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whitaker, or Ncuti Gatwa (or Paul McGann, Jo Martin, Richard E. Grant, or even Colin Salmon). As always thank you so very much for the videos. Of course, it could also be Alex Kingston.
Colin Baker has written several published Doctor Who stories. And Tom Baker wrote a script for a Doctor Who movie with Ian Marter (who played his companion Harry Sullivan) which was later novelized (with Jamie Goss).
1973? The Time Warrior aired at the end of that year. In it, he met Sarah Jane and was fond of Delta Particles. As Link pulled scientists through time.
What if one of the new writers had played the part of the Doctor or one of his companions either in the show or in a satire like the Comic Relief episode that started with Mr Bean playing the Doctor?
Can you imagine if the "terrifying weapon" was Bad Wolf? Billie Piper returning not as the Moment, but as Bad Wolf, when she was sending messages throughout time, killing the Daleks, and bringing Jack back to life. Maybe she presented herself to a future Doctor in the middle of all that. Rose never remembered what happened, so that leaves room for something new!
As long as the new writers are ALSO Who superfans. They need to have a relationship with the canon, if for no other reason than to know how best to violate it. But they can't come in with the mindset of tearing it all down, as it appeared the showrunners for Star Wars Acolytes had done. Chesteron's Fence. Look it up. Careful for what you tear down.
Given that the company villengard is mentioned in the Christmas special my money would be on the nanogenes from the empty child/doctor dances. My reasoning is that villengard corporation made ambulances for the episode’Boom’. They could quite easily have produced nanogenes as a medical device.
Correction: The duck pond is brought up again in the episode "Flesh and Stone". When the Doctor realizes that "time can be unwritten", he first muses about "how is a duck pond a duck pond, if there aren't any ducks?" He, also, mentions Amy not remembering the Daleks. These questions, of course, all lead up to him realizing what the cracks in time are doing to people (and the duck pond is included as part of that). Of course, that doesn't mean that the disappearing ducks weren't actually caused by something else but, the Doctor clearly assumes at the time that it's a consequence of the cracks in time.
Great weapon from 05… I wonder if it’s Adam? Thinking is he got left with that hole in his forehead, he’s had 20 years to use that to his advantage, goes a bit mad looking for revenge, becomes villain :)
For the writer who this is their first TV script, just imagine how great it would be if it's Alex Kingston writing a River Song episode. She's written a book but don't think she's ever written a TV script. After reading her book, I know she could write a great episode!
If they want a cheap callback, the weapon will be Jack's Squareness gun from the Doctor Dances. If they want to be very interesting, it will be Blon Fel-Fotch's tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator. Talk about about a big boom!
I meannnn Alex Kingston has written a doctor who book (the ruby's curse - and it's absolutely brilliant) so imagine if she was coming in as a writer... That would be awesome

Great idea re The Watcher. And with modern technology it would be simple to achieve. “Up-grade” The Watcher footage (possibly built in to digitally restored footage from Logopolis). And then when ‘it’ first appears at the passing of the 15th, you digitally matte DT’s Doctor’s face on to The Watcher. It his faded as the “new” Watcher steps forward. Simples! It's obvious really ( if you are a graphic artist of 30 plus experience)... 🎉
One thing about the 15th doctor I'm curious about is the color of his sonic. In doctor who unleashed that released with 72 yards there was a preview of the sonic in multiple colors like yellow green blue and magenta, but the red color we see in this Christmas Special has said to be seperate from the magenta in the art work or from the ones shown in epidoes like Rouge. So will this sonic screwdriver change color show where he is in time, or by emotion, or what ever the directors decided.
Now I have the Atraxi's warning stuck in my head from The Eleventh Hour "Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated!"
Would love to see Ricky Gervais write an episode, think his style could lend itself well to a comedic outing (Partners in Crime, The Lodger, Robot of Sherwood etc.) for the doctor!
Hey Ellie there is no beef between Christopher Eccleston and Russell T Davies anymore the 9th Doctor said in an interview last year and at Doctor Who con he loves what Russell T is doing and has done it was his team Bad Wolf that he had beef with and the fact he was ill during his tenure as the Doctor
I'm surprised you think Toby Whithouse might return! Gatiss also feels unlikely. And didn't Charlie Brooker outright say he'd not be writing for Doctor Who?
I'm watching the part about a weapon returning, nodding my head about the possibility that it's Captain Jack's blaster, planning my great joke that it's actually the banana, and then you go and mention it! I don't know if I should be mad that you stole my thunder or happy because great minds and all that. Other than that, and for the record, I have not cracked the code. But I do have emojis. 🎅🎄☃️🕯️❄️☕🧚🦌❄️🧑🎄🖖☺️🎄❄️🤟👍
"First TV script" does not mean "first script". The most obvious jump I can see of, for example, a comic book writer. There's a ton of comics writers wit more than enough Who knowledge and creativity to get a chance. I'm going to take a very small amount of hope and connect it to the name Dan Slott.
I hope Herron and Redman come back, maybe even in season 2. Two others i could see writing for this season are Pete McTighe and Phil Ford, as they are still activity involved in DW, having penned scripts for Tales of the Tardis last year.
Someone who never wrote a script before might be a novelist that wrote some good Sci-Fi novels, but never wrote a TV script. I don't think it is someone without any storytelling background. Could also be one of the Big Finish writers.
Are we finally going to get the answer? To the question that was never answered? How do you know it's a duck pond if there's never been any ducks in it?
Who-mas continues! 🎄 Make sure you catch our Joy To The World trailer breakdown if you haven't already: ua-cam.com/video/J6dCjKHmrwg/v-deo.html
Happy Whomas to you and everyone involved with WhoCulture, I do love Ellie's thoughts on all things Who.
One might not read this, but:
I guess hell will freeze over, rather than Eccleston returning to play the Ninth Doctor again.
Terrifying weapon from S1? - that jukebox in the wrong hands. Also, did everybody notice the polaroid on the mantelpiece in the photoshoot RTD + Moff did for Radio Times?
What? A video with no mention of River Song!
Who are you and what have you done to our Ellie?
Having only read the title before watching this, like clearly they're connected. They're the same guy.
Right that's the only connection I can see, eccleston would mever come back under rtds showrunning
Calling it now, Rogue comes back and uses a Sonic Blaster, further cementing the Captain Jack connection.
Disappointingly, yes, I agree.
wouldn’t be surprised
Timeless Child >>>>>>>>>>>>> this idea
I reallllllllly hope this is not how things play out but it’s totali possible
Plz no
Dear God no. Rogue was the worst episode to date.

At the very end, the entire show was just a collection of snow globes owned by the autistic boy at the end of ST. ELSEWHERE.
It was all a boy's fantasy. The end.
I want Charlie Brooker and Peter Capaldi to write for the show, and I want Charlie Brooker to become the next showrunner

Options for the mystery weapon:

- The hungry wheelie bin

- Acetic acid
- The squareness gun
Lady Casandra's time traveled to the 21st century disguised as fleshy knickers that Ruby puts on and is transformed!
Ooooh the London eye from the first episode, AND the delta wave from the finale?!?!
That would be cool
We also know from interviews that Ncuti is a fan of the 11th Doctor era so it might not all be Moffat rooting his own horn
Hear me out, Alex Hirsch writing for doctor who would be amazing
That would be... In a good way...weird
@@danyaelle1753 Only the best weirdness for doctor who
couldn't agree more
If you’re dipping into Disney TV animation add Joshua Pruett to the list. Guy is a massive Whovian & even did some Big Finish stuff I believe.
I don’t think this is his type of talent area unfortunately
Could it be the nano-tech from the Ambulance , It was kinda a weapon, maybe it got corrupted was turned to a weapon, The gas-mask face people were quite terrifying
"A terrifying return" sounds to me like the weapon is in the hands of a villain, not the Doctor.
But maybe that's just me?
Rouge is probably a Valeyard equivalent for river song.
Rogue*
He's pretty like captain Jack then river
@@lilpils2081 He is more! People think he is like River, he is way more like Jack!
if this really will be Moffat's final Doctor Who script, I wonder if he will use this a chance to tie up any lose ends/bug bears that were throughout his era.
Matt Smith's returns as the newest incarnation of the Master, the Master plans to slander the Doctor's good name.
Hell, the Master has already done that with these fake Doctors (anyone after Capaldi)
Peter Jackson once said he'd like to direct an episode. I wonder if that's still on the cards.
Let's hope
The biggest weapon in Series One is surely Bad Wolf. Not that I expect Billie in it.
Who knows! Billie has said she'd like to come back. That said, as much as I love to clown, I don't really think Bad Wolf would be coming back.
The last time we saw the image of Rose as Bad Wolf was as the personification of The Moment - a superweapon unto itself. This is looking fairly plausible.
The banana that Nine swaps for Jack’s blaster.

Technically 🤓, the first creature that the *11th Doctor* encounters in *The Eleventh Hour* is Amelia Pond.
Amelia Pond, truly the most baffling of creatures.
The first face his face ever saw
If they want a cheap callback, the weapon will be Jack's Squareness gun from the Doctor Dances. If they want to be very interesting, it will be Blon Fel-Fotch's tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator. Talk about about a big boom!

Great idea re The Watcher. And with modern technology it would be simple to achieve.
“Up-grade” The Watcher footage (possibly built in to digitally restored footage from Logopolis). And then when ‘it’ first appears at the passing of the 15th, you digitally matte DT’s Doctor’s face on to The Watcher. It his faded as the “new” Watcher steps forward.

Him and Steven moffet are the best.
Maybe Capt Jack's sonic blaster
My first thought was the extrapolator, not sure if it counts as a weapon, but was certainly Ninth Doctor era!

How about a Big Finish writer, who not written for TV, like John Dorney or Matt Hancock?
Robot Santa’s. Still 2005! I hope to god they won’t look back at loose plot threads for the full episode.
I mean the sonic blaster (squareness gun) doesn't particularly strike me as a 'terrifying' weapon
The sonic blaster was already brought back when Jack came back during the chibnall era
"First TV script" does not mean "first script". The most obvious jump I can see of, for example, a comic book writer. There's a ton of comics writers wit more than enough Who knowledge and creativity to get a chance.
I'm going to take a very small amount of hope and connect it to the name Dan Slott.
Wait, hold up, the duck pond in Leadworth is actually a time portal to 1973?!?! Um... Wow.
I doubt the weapon they are hinting at is a Dalek, but they are kind of a weapon.

I hope Herron and Redman come back, maybe even in season 2. Two others i could see writing for this season are Pete McTighe and Phil Ford, as they are still activity involved in DW, having penned scripts for Tales of the Tardis last year.
