Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

So, yeah. The 2026 ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special we’d been looking forward to has been cancelled. 😦 I can’t say I’m that surprised considering we didn’t have any news nor updates about it in the first half of 2026. The telltale signs were clear it wasn’t happening.

At the same time though, I can’t help feel slightly annoyed and disappointed. The 2026 ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special was something to look forward to at the end of the year. Now that it’s been taken away from us, the lifeline for ‘Doctor Who’s future is uncertain. 😦

I know the BBC have stated they’re continuing to commit to ‘Doctor Who’s future, but it seems like we’re going to have to wait a long time for the TV show to come back. I know it’s not going to come back in 2027 as first thought. Will the series return in 2028 or 2029?

To be honest with you, I’m not really that fussed. When ‘Doctor Who’ comes back to TV screens properly, I’ll be very happy indeed. In the meantime, I have other ‘Doctor Who’ items to check out, including DVD/Blu-ray box sets, Big Finish audios, books and comics.

At least we have confirmation that Russell T. Davies and Bad Wolf Productions have left ‘Doctor Who’, meaning that the neo-Russell T. Davies officially ended with ‘The Reality War’. It wasn’t a very dignifying episode to end the era on, but at least it was an ending. 😐

No doubt, I’ll be sharing more thoughts about how the neo-RTD era of ‘Doctor Who’ ended in my upcoming in-depth reviews on Series 15 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series with Ncuti Gatwa, which I’m looking forward to. I’m currently working on the Series 15 reviews.

It’s a shame we’re not going to get the answer to why Ncuti Gatwa regenerated into Billie Piper in the narrative sense and, as I predicted in my quick reactions video, we’re likely to speculate this for a very, very long time. Hopefully, the TV show can start afresh from this.

I don’t know that will happen, but I’ll look forward to it when it does. Hopefully, I’ll get to do a rewatch of all the ‘Doctor Who’ TV stories featuring Sarah Sutton as Nyssa to make up for the absence of the 2026 Christmas Special in December. We’ll see what happen then.

In the meantime, I hope to keep you entertained with the various ‘Doctor Who’ reviews and stories I’m looking forward to sharing on my blog in the upcoming months. Hope you enjoyed my latest blog post and my latest video about the latest news on ‘Doctor Who’s future.

Bye for now!
