We can officially add Russell T Davies to the list of creative people who’ve become irritated with fans wanting updates on a particular project they’re inextricably linked to. Think George R.R. Martin and The Winds of Winter, or James Gunn and The Batman Part II. Now, the Doctor Who showrunner from 2005-2010 and again since 2023 would like you to stop asking him Doctor Who questions.

No doubt those queries have only gotten more intense thanks to the utter lack of updates about the show’s future. Ncuti Gatwa’s run as the character ended when the Fifteenth Doctor regenerated—confusingly—at the end of May, and fans still have no idea what’s coming next, if at all.

“There’s nothing to report, nothing’s happening. You’ll know when you know, when we know. I don’t know,” Davies said on the Pilot TV podcast this week (via Doctor Who TV).

He also pointed out, “Conversations are between the BBC and Disney. I don’t work for either of them. I work for Bad Wolf, so I’m not part of those rooms. So I literally don’t know. And even people I work with every day, so they couldn’t know what’s really going on. I’m going, ‘I don’t know.’ I really don’t know.“

In another recent interview, this time with the Big Issue magazine (via Deadline), he brought up the fact that even though he’s devoted a lot of his career to Doctor Who, that’s not all he’s done. “I love Doctor Who, but I don’t own it. It’s not mine. So in the end, my heart will always be with the things that I own,” including shows he created himself like Queer as Folk.

The magazine did ask him about the future of Doctor Who, because frankly, people are dying to know. He gave a one-word answer: “Behave!” That’s not quite Gunn telling Batman Part II speculators to “Get off Matt [Reeves]’ nuts,” but we may escalate there soon.
