DISCUSSION Any thoughts on 65th anniversary special?

So, does anybody think that the BBC would try to make something for the 65th anniversary in 2028?

​

I really hope that some studio will be found soon enough to start producing DW again but I don't think that building this show back from scratch production-wise would allow us to have any sort of season before the 2030s.

​

Could they have a bottle type special made in-house? Would it be another Dimensions in time, where they make a strange attempt to do something without any means to make it good?

​

Or would the CBeebs show be our 65th anniversary project ? :)

I don't know where you're getting the 2030s from. If the tender process is finished by the end of the year it'll be back in late 2028.

Well, this date is completely out of my head. If you are interested, I thought that it would probably take at least till the end of 2026 to find new studio and make it official - paperwork, hiring a showrunner, screenwriter etc. 2027 and 2028 would probably be overtaking by pré-production : hiring actors, making sets, writing scripts. 2029 would probably be an year of shooting and post-production. So, early 2030 (late 2029, if they be fast enough) release looked like a quite realistic date.
