It is the end, but it seems the moment was never prepared for...

Following the recent stunning announcements from the BBC and Russell T Davies regarding the cancellation of the 2026 Christmas Special and the shift to tender, Geoff and Paul try to wrap their heads around what the f*** just actually happened.

Is it true there never was a script?
Have Doctor Who fans have been lied to by the producers they trusted?
Will anyone in their right mind ever be willing to pick up Doctor Who from its current mess and attempt to reassemble it for the future?
Is there even a future for Doctor Who on TV?
Never mind that, what about the future of Who Corner to Corner? What do we do next?

No wonder the cloister bell is ringing ...
