About this episode

The episode discusses online comments about rumors of David Tennant's potential return to Doctor Who and Electric Entertainment's interest in the show.

Don’t Read the Comments is an irregular podcast on our feed where we ignore the show’s title and actually read online comments relating to something going on in the world of Doctor Who. Today, Rob is reading comments from the Gallifrey subreddit relating to the latest rumours about the future of Doctor Who. Specifically, reports that American production company Electric Entertainment is interested in taking over the show, with David Tennant reportedly wanted back in the role of the Doctor. Electric Entertainment boss Dean Devlin has since confirmed the company is interested in Doctor Who, while denying that any negotiations with the BBC have taken place. So what does the Gallifrey sub make of the prospect of Tennant returning to Doctor Who for a third bite at the Time Lord cherry? Rob finds out.
