   Tranter is lying just like she did when she lied about the reasons why   
   Christopher Eccleston quit the show in 2005, which was due to her   
   bullying, ignoring, and disrespecting the cast and crew, as revealed by   
   Eccleston himself.

   Fans already know the show has been cancelled because Ncuti Gatwa failed   
   to renew his contract. Disney+ would have been contractually obliged to   
   inform the BBC of them not renewing the show back in May when Gatwa   
   quit. Disney are under no obligation to inform Tranter, Davies, or Bad   
   Wolf Productions, and neither are the BBC. Bad Wolf's contract to make   
   Doctor Who already expired 6 months ago, which is why there has been no   
   further production since then and sets have been dismantled and staff   
   laid off.

   Wrong! Only an idiot would agree to a contract with those terms since   
   Disney+ could delay the airing of the Sea Devils garbage indefinably and   
   place the entire series in limbo. Jane Trantar lying. All that we've   
   been fed by Tranter, Davies, and their ilk is a total pack of lies.   
      
   Disney have already informed the BBC that the show has been cancelled,   
   but the BBC are not allowed to announce this until the spin-off has   
   ended, probably at least 2 months after the final episode, so as not to   
   affect the ratings on Disney+.

   "I imagine"? That means show knows nothing and is making it all up.   
      
   Disney+ contract with the BBC ended 6 months ago just as the contract   
   with Bad Wolf Productions ended at the same time. "Doctor Who is going   
   nowhere" as the BBC has already announced. It's finished. It isn't going   
   anywhere. It has been cancelled.

   It already came back in May. Disney+ is not going to continue financing   
   infantile garbage written and produced by RTD and Bad Wolf Productions.

   What did I tell you. Doctor Who isn't going nowhere, just like a broken   
   down bus or a broken down TARDIS.

   Davies destroyed the entire franchise with the last 3 years of   
   degenerate woke bullshit and infantile writing, intended to sexually   
   groom children, because the show was "too white, too masculine, and too   
   heterosexual" in the words of Davies himself.   
      
   There's no way that Doctor Who can recover from the irreparable damage   
   that Davies and Chibnall did to it without an explicit denunciation of   
   their entire era as being a big mistake and not part of canon, and a   
   complete reset to before 2005. Tennant has already seen to wiping out   
   his own legacy with his deranged woke virtue signalling.
