When did the Doctor become the Doctor?

In the post Chibnall Masterplan world we can ask lots of questions about Doctor Who and get some new answers. Of course this is a lot of why a masterplan happened. It gets the show re-examined in the light of a set of principles (I hope) rather than the organic way it first developed. One…

When will Big Finish release a Division boxset?

The idea is irresistible. It must be when not if. Following the Chibnall Masterplan re-engineering of Time Lord history in The Timeless Children, we now have a whole new era to explore. We have any number (including Jo Martin’s Ruth / Fugitive incarnation) of previously uncharted versions of the Doctor. We have a pre-CIA secret…

So, just Who is the Ruth Doctor?

We’ve all got plenty of questions after watching Fugitive of the Judoon, but surely topmost is the conundrum of just who is Jo Martin’s character.
