Russell T. Davies May Have Already Revealed Two Of His Spinoff Ideas
Davies ' comment is in particular interesting given he mentions thereturn of Donna Noble , the democratic companion played by Catherine Tate during David Tennant ’s era as the doc . Although it ’s not technically a spinoff , this is indeed happening inDoctor Who ’s 60th day of remembrance special . This raises the possibility the other example he quote are n’t just throwaway concepts either , but rather are thing he was truly regard .
The idea of a multi - Doctor epic boast past Incarnation of the Doctor is a thrilling one , a logical extension of the show ’s traditional anniversary case . More surprising is the reference to Nyssa , a classic companion play by Sarah Sutton . Davies has always seemed rather fond of Nyssa - he brought her back in an on-line short story he wrote back in April 2020 , confirming a longstandingfan - possibility she was in a relationshipwith fellow fellow Tegan Jovanka ( play by Janet Fielding ) .
Davies' Comment Hints At Two Different Models For Doctor Who Spinoffs
Meanwhile , notice that Humphrey Davy is discuss two dissimilar potential types of spinoffs . The Nyssa Adventuresis intelligibly a riff onThe Sarah Jane Adventures , the spinoff he launched back during his first stint asDoctor Whoshowrunner . It ’s presumably an ongoing - and Nyssa is perfectly position for just such a show . She was left in the depths of space , institutionalise to locomote the world independently and continue to do good . It ’s easy to imagine her building up her own bear out cast ( perhaps even include Fielding ’s Tegan as well , who reprised her own role inThe Power of the Doctor of the Church ) .
The 2d character ofDoctor Whospinoffis more of a limited serial - follow Marvel ’s Disney+ practice , where not everything is an on-going . These limited series would presumably be the bigger , more expensive , product , each an event in their own right . It ’s interesting that Humphrey Davy hone in on David Tennant and Matt Smith , the two modern doctor most likely to be unforced to return . The moral force between Tennant and Smith in the fiftieth anniversary special , The Day of the Doctor , was perfectly delightful ; Smith has indicated a next return would depend on the quality of the script , and with Sir Humphrey Davy in care , such aDoctor Whoscript would surely be dependable . Hopefully more will be revealed soon .
