With speculation about the show's future growing since Ncuti Gatwa's departure, BBC content chief Kate Phillips announced today that “the Tardis is going nowhere." “Any Whovians out there, rest assured: Doctor Who is going nowhere,” she said at the Edinburgh TV Festival. “Disney has been a great partnership and it continues with (Doctor Who spinoff) The War Between the Land and the Sea next year. But going forward, with or without Disney, Doctor Who will still be on the BBC … The Tardis is going nowhere.” Lindsay Salt, the director of BBC Drama, said while there was no update on the timing of the next series, the corporation would “always stay committed” to it. The news comes after Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies recently said he was in the dark about the show's future.
