and of course those of us eu fans joking about wilderness years 2 KNOW that we’re not gonna get wilderness years 2 - that the circumstances of the late 80s, the bbc’s sincere belief that the franchise of doctor who was basically worthless to the general public, resulted in them allowing new and unheard-of writers - in comics, novels, audio - to create some of the best sci-fi that ever resulted from doctor who. now, since dw has proved it can make money on a tv revival, along with the 21st century late capitalist landscape and its love of dragging dead horses around and being rabidly protective of its dead horses’ IP, it’s highly unlikely we will get this era of joyous, low budget creative freedom again. of COURSE we know all or this. it’s just that wilderness years 2 jokes are really funny. ok now everyone have a singalong to doctor in distress, put on big finish’s Storm Warning, throw your hair up in a messy bun and we, the doctor who fanbase, can avenge ncuti gatwa together
