Doctor Who seems to be going through some changes at the moment following Ncuti Gatwa's exit, but executive producer Jane Tranter said it's "rude" to claim the show is "dead". Tranter clapped back at recent comments made by former Doctor Who writer Robert Shearman, who said the series is "probably as dead as we've ever known it".
Earlier this week, Shearman criticized the show's "retrogressive" feeling, and claimed that the Doctor Who season 2 ending had "put a full stop on things".
The producer argued that "it's a 60-year-old franchise" that has been going on "for 20 years nonstop" since being brought back in 2005, so changes are to be expected. "Nothing continues the same always, or it shouldn't continue the same always. So it will change in some form or another. But the one thing we can all be really clear of is that the Doctor will be back and everyone, including me, including all of us, just has to wait patiently to see when – and who," she concluded.
