Doctor Who Series 12B: The Timeless Chibnall (Xmas special & pre-Series 13 chat)

Let's Kill Chibnall

+1 karma.

[Malcy]

Goodbye, Mr. Chibs

FTW

Has to be this.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

The thing we must all remember is that Chris Chibnall will continue to have a successful career in television. What a world.

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

Has to be this.

That one made me laugh, but it does imply a certain amount of affection for the outgoing hack. Obviously not the intention, but we've all seen the weepy film.

Perhaps we should call it Off You Fuck, Chinballs.

Personally I would be very surprised if the BBC had the balls to take Doctor Who out of South Wales - there would be a huge uproar. But Wainwright would be a brilliant appointment.

I don't remember a huge uproar when it was rumoured to be moving to Manchester a few years back.

RTD had his CBBC sci-fi and fantasy dramas, and Moffat had Curse of the Fatal Death and his more fantastical episodes of Coupling - and of course, both had New Adventures stories to their name.

I don't think Moffat wrote a VNA actually.

This is the best one.

No, just a story ("Continuity Errors") in one of Virgin's Decalog series of DW short stories.

He's also thanked by Paul Cornell in the start of the first Benny New Adventure as one of the "without whom this book wouldn't exist" people. Wasn't aware he was quite so involved in the franchise at the time.

Didn't know that, nice!

I'm probably just in "one of those moods" but...

TW: indignant shit-stirring of an odious little shit someone in their mid-twenties

...in general, I would like the BBC to embolden their corporation by meaningfully supporting new talent rather than providing an endless revolving carrousel for incestuous toffs and mediocre middle-aged jobbing writers to churn out gristle-filled sausages for priggish geriatrics.

With that in mind I find it soul-calcifyingly gloomy to imagine that the BBC's plan "for the new generation of Doctor Who" is to get a seasoned professional writer approaching their 60s to take the reins. It'd be like if, during the penalties at the Euro 2020 final, Gareth Southgate wheeled out, I dunno - I know nowt about football and can't be bothered to look up old footballers so I don't know why I even mentioned it - a load of old raisins or summat.

I'd like somebody with their career ahead of them to take on the mantle.

And no, I'm not being ageist, I ALWAYS buy my books from Help The Aged, even when the same books can be found in Save The Children with cleaner pages.

I was thinking the other day about how it would be good if Faye Marsay was the next Doctor, after her character Shona got bumped from being a companion when Jenna Coleman did an extra series. She's very good, and another blonde northerner too.

Have Big Finish done series with "nearly but not quite" alternate companions yet? Sara Griffiths from Delta & The Bannermen, Pauline Collins from The Faceless Ones, you could string this one out for years Briggsy, put my cheque in the post.

Definitely agree that 'Goodbye, Mr Chibs' gives off undertones that are too affectionate, as if we'd be missing him.  A fun pun, but it's not appropriate.


We don't need to reflect on Chibnall at all in the new thread title.  Onwards!

If this is the general consensus then can we at least settle on Fuck Off, Mr Chibs?


Or Ballad of Ballard Berkley's Off You Fuck, Chinballs?

Box set with four stories featuring Senator Hame :

Four adventures from the New Earth setting of TV's episodes The End of the World, New Earth and Gridlock:

Post-Gridlock, Senator Hame is working to restore her home. The cities, forests and skies teem with strange and wonderful species. Some trace their ancestry back to Old Earth, others came later, but all have their own agendas, and their rivalries.

We're also not at series 13 yet, so it would probably be 12C and we can save 'Off You Fuck, Chinballs' or whatever until 2022

[Mister Six]

Chinny reckoning?

EDIT: Wait, his name isn't actually Chinballs. :(

Whaaaa? I love that story! Brilliant take on the "sinister manipulator" Doctor. I'm sad that Moffat fed us that RTD-esque crap about the world's corpse becoming Cybermen when he once had stories like Continuity Errors in him. Ah well, nobody's perfect, nor does their creative well last forever.

Plus the Gallifrey bits of Human Nature I think.

[Thomas]

As proud namer of the current thread, a couple of suggestions for the next one:

Doctor Who series 13: The cut of your Chib

or

Doctor Who series 13: Wearing a bit Chin'
