Only regarding the episode indexing, not a new show in the same sense as Classic Who compared to nuWho. That was a full-on reboot of the series. This… represents a shift between platforms and the marketing efforts to appeal to new viewers unfamiliar with Doctor Who.
Apparently, Disney believed that starting at S14 would be off-putting to potential new viewers to the show (feeling that catching up would be too daunting), so they reset it to S01 for their streaming service.
Edit:
That is - according to both Disney, the BBC, and literally everyone else ever asked about this with any “official knowledge” - is the only reason for the season number reset. Just a marketing decision for putting the show on D+ as a fresh, new series for the majority of D+ subscribers.
Yep, but even my softwarre separates it as a different series. I understand all of that, but it is still, for all intents and purposes, a new Doctor Who series.
I did not know that. I checked out about 2 seasons into Capaldi after watching the new series religiously and haven’t returned primarily due to difficulties finding places to watch it, although now more due to young kids who i have to schedule around
What movie/show was this? I vaguely remember this character but no idea where it was from
Doctor Who!
It’s from the second? episode of the new Dr Who series
The old new doctor who from 2005, important distinction because there’s a new doctor who series starting in 2024

Fuck Disney. They’re gearing to buy the show when the Tories axe the BBC even more.

With David Tennant as the Doctor right? I never watched much Dr Who but yet I can very much remember the last human.
Her first appearance was with Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor. Her second, and final, appearance was with David Tennant’s Doctor.
