   Just as well there will be some new "Doctor Who" in 2026   
   then, eh?

   Yet, it seems the BBC are still intent on making new episodes.   
   Maybe they didn't get the memo?   
      
   Or watch the right YouTube videos!

   Why would they? But of course, you actually will!

   Who is going to fix the problem? Ncuti's Doctor has gone, so   
   where will UNIT (or whoever) find a spare Doctor that has a   
   TARDIS and is just sitting around drinking tea in a garden in   
   London when there's a major problem to be solved?   
      
   Hmmmm...    
      
   We can do the tenner thing if you want, I'd pay if I lost.   
   Would you though?

   NOBODY had the faintest idea what was going on... in fact, we   
   still don't really.

   Will I do a re-cap for you after it's been broadcast so? Remind   
   me at Christmas in 2026. You will clearly be doing other   
   things when this special airs.   
      
   I mean, you're not the type of guy that sits and watches a pile   
   of shit for his Christmas entertainment are you?

   Maybe there will be a reset? So keep a stiff upper lip and hope   
   for the best old boy.
