2026 has started strong with reviews of Matt Smith's grimly comedic Brighton drama The Death of Bunny Munro and Doctor Who spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea. Plus, season four of classic Doctor Who is now complete, with my reviews of The Smugglers, The Underwater Menace (what a classic) and The Moonbase, plus The Highlanders and The Evil of the Daleks from site chief Laurence Marcus.
So if you want to know what Matt Smith got up to in the block of flats where I live, how underwater civilisations looked in 1967and 2025, and just which alien menace mocks "stupid Earth brains," you're just a click away.
It should be noted composer Murray Gold said Davies wrote "multiple versions" of the unmade 2026 Christmas episode. While there are definitely conflicting accounts from crew members or filmmakers in films/series, the RTD message got me thinking. I definitely believe that the Christmas special script was originally supposed to be made. While it going into speculation, it is very possible that the pitch was rejected. I know RTD denied the script had been made, but I don’t buy it. There is no way it was never considered.
