The wikipedia entry is well worth a read for anyone interested in this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shada_(Doctor_Who)

The tie in between Shada and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective agency is worth noting.

The unfinished original is one of my favorites, and the 2017 animated version is also wonderful.

I feel like the animated version filled in gaps I hadn't even realized were there in the old one that just had the voice overs.

If you like classic who, Adams, or both, and haven't seen it buy the blu-ray!

I'll be honest, I think Dr Who is due for a 1989-style shelving for a while. I've loved watching the show since I was young, but I think the quality has fallen off significantly recently. Capaldi was the last "great doctor" in my opinion. Whittaker is a good actress, I thought she performed well in Broadchurch (ironically also written by Chibnall), but her writing was just awful, and it feels like they've just spent the last couple of seasons nostalgia-baiting the fans, like with the Midnight episode

Thanks for posting that. Good to know the BBC is moving on from Davies, and investing in a full season with a new production company.

Star Trek is in far worse shape these days. According to Riker, this is the first time in decades where there is no TV or movie even in the planning phase.

Development on ‘09 started after production wrapped on enterprise in March 2005, although there wasn’t a lot in it. Production in earnest was certainly underway 18 months after.

And Star Wars. Complete train wreck. Disney just has so much money to burn from live action remakes they can limp along.
