i really don’t get how david coming back is shade on jodie or ncuti in any way. yes it’s a little fanservice-y and self absorbed on rtds part to bring his most popular doctor back but like, it’s not like david is encroaching on anyone else’s era. jodie’s gone, her story ended, can’t wait to see her in multi-doctor eps for future anniversaries and such! and david is going to be in three little specials before ncutis actual season starts! cool!

i just don’t understand how this is different from any other goofy little fanservice-y anniversary special thing

also, if this raises ratings so that more ppl watch ncutis era, isn’t that good? not everyone stopped watching bc they’re misogynistic trolls, some ppl just didn’t like the writing. i totally get why the showrunners would do something slightly unusual (and I say slightly bc we literally had a bunch of classic who actors come back last episode so) to draw them back in!

(i am with y’all abt the ‘david is not fourteen’ thing. that’s dumb as hell)
