To be taken with a large hill of salt ...

Doctor Who villains Cybermen and Daleks
to get spin-off series in huge Disney deal
------------------------------------------
Doctor Who villains like the Weeping Angels and the dreaded
Daleks are as iconic as the time traveller himself and his
police box tardis, and we will be soon seeing more of them,
according to an insider.

Doctor Who adversaries such as the Cybermen and Daleks are
to get their own series, an insider says.

Showrunner Russell T Davies is pushing ahead with plans to
expand the "Whoniverse" with Marvel-style spin-offs.

It comes after the BBC struck a deal with Disney+ worth
"tens of millions"last month.

The Beeb sold the US giant the global streaming rights to
Doctor Who outside the UK. The deal means budgets on the
2024 series starring the 15th Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, could
triple.

A source said: "Fans can expect to see Sontarans, Weeping
Angels and Sea Devils in separate series showing what they
get up to when the Doctor isn't there to stop them, along
with Daleks and Cybermen."

Speaking last year Davies said that these exciting new
projects were part of what lured him back to the BBC -
and he suggested there was even scope for a Doctor Who
dedicated channel.

"There are things coming up that are brand new ways of
telling stories that have never been done before," he
explained. "So it just feels new, I wouldn't have gone
back if it wasn't feeling new."

The showrunner already has form for expanding the Doctor
Who universe - in his first tenure as the re-boot boss
from 2005 he was behind Torchwood, starring John
Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness and The Sarah Jane
Adventures, featuring Elisabeth Sladen in the title role.

"We should be sitting here announcing The Nyssa
Adventures or The Return of Donna Noble," Davies said
last year.

"The whole science fiction world is so creative and so
money-making right now, I think your wildest dreams can
come true."

His ambitions sit well with the Disney strategy of
maximising content within franchises by creating a whole
expanded universe of overlapping characters and
timeframes.

Former showrunner Stephen Moffat expressed concerns after
he left in 2017 that without bigger budgets, Doctor Who
would be left behind by shows like Game of Thrones.

"A show that generates as much money as Doctor Who should
be getting more of it back, frankly," he declared.

Disney Plus has capitalised on Star Wars and Marvel with
spin-off series including Andor, The Mandolorian and
Loki.

The BBC said it was too early to comment on any plans.

Too early to say if the Mirror article has any substance, but I've
always thought that the Disney+ deal was likely to be more than just a
Doctor Who streaming deal long term. It's logical that Disney would
want to capitalise on having Doctor Who on its platform, so spin-offs
would make perfect sense to them.

Indeed. They have made it clear their business model is to beat
dead horses until there's nothing left but a grease stain on the
sidewalk. Then buy another horse, becuase they clearly have no
breeding stock of their own.

Maybe Disney will buy up Star Trek one day? I'd love to see what
spin-offs they could come up with for that dead horse... er, I mean
franchise!

There's already plenty of spin-offs, both live-action and animated, in
the Star Trek franchise.

Well ... technically a dry ice smoke machine doesn't have any fire,
just frozen carbon dioxide and warm water. :-)

(Side note: They will probably soon be banned by the Climate Change
fanatics, so smoke machines will have to use some sort of carbon-free
smoking material, which may then need a fire.)
