After six episodes of the new Ncuti doctor and terrible ratings, they will have Tennant team up episodes, maybe even entire Tennant episodes to rescue a locked up 15th.

It’s all about ratings and however much money Disney paid BBC for their joint venture.

Charlotte Moore, BBC’s Chief Content Officer says: “We are thrilled to announce this exciting global partnership with Disney who are the perfect partners to bring this very British show to the rest of the world. Russell T Davies’ vision for Doctor Who has always been out of this world and we are committed to ensuring that audiences across the globe get the opportunity to enjoy the Doctor’s epic adventures with the scale and ambition that they deserve. Joining forces with Disney will elevate the show to even greater heights and reach new audiences so it’s an extremely exciting time for fans in the UK and across the world.”

    It’s not Tennant, it’s RTD doing just nonsense for ratings.

    Davies hint(s) about what season 15 will look like, suggesting we won’t see the return of classic villains like the Daleks and Cybermen for a while. He said: “It’s very new. Ncuti’s new and Millie [Gibson] is new and it was new to us with Disney and the whole new era, as it were. So I didn’t want to look… there are no Daleks, there are no Cybermen, I didn’t want to look back too much.”

    “I would love for the Doctor to meet the Orisha, which were a set of gods in Nigerian mythology, and I think that he’d have a lovely old time.”
