    Yes. Regard it all a bit like the Valeyard: ghostly future echoes of what could have been. The more appealing stuff can always be reintroduced afresh. If you don’t like Eight - I could be convinced with Seven. I’d be happy with a pre-Rose Nine as well.

    (I’m increasingly an advocate of (re)introducing the Faction, if Miles would allow it, who have been there all the time messing with time, causing temporal collapse - from which emerges new timelines which simultaneously embrace and reject everything before. And behind that a greater War in Heaven which makes the Time War look like a scuffle in a playground.)

      Why not just reboot the whole thing from scratch altogether and redo the entire franchise but with coherent logic this time?

        Why settle for coherent when you can make it complicated and unintelligible? Private Eye is saying that the show’s been put on hiatus for at least 3 years - so plenty of time to reverse the polarity on the complexity inhibitors.
