   What would that have achieved? It wouldn't have made the   
   15th Doctor's era any different. RTD would have still   
   written the same stories for Ncuti Gatwa... and given him   
   the same companions and enemies.   
      
   Plus, RTD had said he wouldn't unwrite anything that Chris   
   Chibnall (his "friend") had written. So it was sign posted   
   from very early on that he wasn't going to retcon the Timeless   
   Child, so why did people think that he would?   
      
   There were issues before the "Timeless Child" era, and after   
   the "Timeless Child" era, so if you want to point fingers, there   
   are other people involved in anything you perceive as being poor   
   about "Doctor Who". RTD can't be blamed for EVERYTHING!
