Doctor Who: What's Different About Russell T. Davies's New Era?

What’s the Difference Between Russell T. Davies’s Doctor Who Eras?

The big cheese behind the Doctor Who revival, Russell T. Davies, is back to be the Doctor Who showrunner again - and you know those Doctor Who fans are excited! But Doctor Who Season 14 is pretty different from his older stuff, which took us all by surprise!

So What’s the Difference Between the “Old” Doctor Who and Season 14?

Davies brought the Doctor Who TARDIS back from being cancelled in 1989! From the 2000s on, we saw a shift! It was way more realistic - we were used to that dark, Doctor Who action. The whole vibe of those earlier seasons felt grittier and even scarier than earlier stuff - which gave those characters real depth!

What Changed In Season 14?

It’s got lots of new elements: songs after episodes, crazy, slapstick jokes, more fantasy with deities. It almost became less like a Doctor Who series! We even got to see the Doctor traveling across time with a brand-new group of companions, so this really is the start of a new era. It’s kind of funny because fans tend to have different views of what is the best Doctor Who Era.

Why Did Davies Make These Changes?

The guy has this cool new philosophy: let's break free! He's tried new ways to make it fresh and not the usual formulaic TV show! I have to admit it - this change makes Doctor Who a bit more out there!
We need to admit he's not messing around! It was pretty courageous for him to change how those characters are, even with a huge fandom like Doctor Who's.

How Will This Impact Future Seasons?

This could be interesting. It seems like there is a whole new way to make Doctor Who that blends the new and old stuff, - we still get Fantasy but it still has the grounded storytelling from the past seasons!

Season 14 had moments when it did have some depth! We'll have to see how the producers will tie it all together - so we can have a lot more from both styles.
People are super-hyped about Doctor Who Season 15 and all the mysteries, especially how this new Doctor is going to evolve in this new era - It might have some twists.

Doctor Who is about to have a whole new life! I hope Russell T Davies gets things right in the end! After a while, it will really be interesting to look back on Doctor Who History. And if you like Doctor Who - don’t miss the new series! We might just see some of those classic elements and a new generation get super hooked!
