BBC Boss Promises ‘Doctor Who’ Will Carry On—With or Without Disney

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-01 13:45:40

The end of Ncuti Gatwa‘s run as Doctor Who was confusing for multiple reasons. But beyond the “Wait, what’s Billie Piper doing here?” of that regeneration scene is a larger question about the show’s future. With no additional seasons scheduled, no updates on the BBC-Disney partnership that powered the Fifteenth Doctor’s seasons, and the most recent showrunner Russell T Davies distancing himself from any Who-related inquiries, fans have been left wondering if, not when, the show will return.

Orcas Pretend to Drown Each Other in Rare Training Session Caught on Camera

Orcas are called “killer whales” (even though they’re technically dolphins) for good reason. They’re the ocean’s top predators, hunting down everything from great white sharks to blue whales—the largest animal in the world. But orcas aren’t born killers. It’s a skill they learn from their elders and, as new evidence suggests, practice on each other. Parenthood, a new five-part BBC wildlife series narrated by David Attenborough, includes the first known footage of orcas learning how to drown the
