According to Morrison, the ideal direction for Doctor Who is to present it as an “open cold” story, featuring a mysterious, eccentric young inventor with amnesia and an unusual TARDIS. This approach would allow new viewers to engage with the series without feeling overwhelmed by its complex history . . .
Morrison voiced concerns that the BBC might opt for a full reboot centered around a younger Doctor, possibly portraying an amnesiac version discovered by children. He believes this would be the wrong path for the show . . .
Addressing the recent cliffhanger involving Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor seemingly regenerating into Billie Piper’s character, Rose Tyler, Morrison proposed an intriguing explanation. He suggested that Gatwa’s Doctor was experiencing an unstable bi-regeneration, causing a “glitch” that summoned a familiar face. This would lead Rose to seek out David Tennant’s Doctor, allowing for a brief reunion to conclude the Russell T Davies era and clear the way for a new chapter without the burden of past storylines . . .
Morrison also mentioned considering reaching out to the BBC again with his ideas, though he remains uncertain if they would take him seriously. He emphasized the importance of keeping references to the broader Doctor Who universe minimal to attract new fans, focusing instead on compelling characters and engaging premises . . .
This perspective offers a thoughtful alternative to a full reboot, aiming to preserve the essence of Doctor Who while inviting fresh storytelling possibilities.
