I’d rather see them bring back Alpha Centauri level costumes and effects than have RTD anywhere near the show. Get someone who knows how to write a good show.
Lower budgets and no fancy effects can force the writers to have to write an engaging story. I don’t want any new Who creatives still involved. I think other than a handful episodes of Eccleston and Capaldi I don’t ever want to rewatch any new Who.
Honestly you have to go all the way back to pre JNT before you get stories I enjoy watching.
Of course the issue here is what people do or do not consider “good” varies from person to person.
The most likely candidates are Pete McTigh and Kate Herron. McTigh is the most probable, given that he’s showrunner of the upcoming Sea Devils miniseries and has had his name linked longer than anybody else.
Both of those names would be new blood (even though they have both worked on the show). Unless Moffat or Chibnall are going to come back again (and they’re not), then the only Fitzroy Tavern regular left who’s qualified is Mark Gatiss, and he said long ago that while he’d have been interested in the 00s he’s very much not interested any more.
That’s the closest we’re going to come to a new take, realistically. One thing’s for certain - nobody is going to take it back to any pre-JNT era.
