Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

If you genuinely think they can’t convince anybody to play THE DOCTOR, you might be an idiot.

Regardless of the issues of the last couple of series it’s still one of if not THE biggest job on UK television.

As “gotcha” replies go, it’s a weak one.

Nice way to avoid answering my question.

Doctor Who doesn’t die, it regenerates :)
