Content overview: “Russell T Davies Slams BBC Boss' AI 'Doctor Who' Remarks as 'Clumsy', Teases Production St”. Outgoing 'Doctor Who' showrunner Russell T Davies has hit back at BBC director general Matt Brittin over comments about an AI-generated episode of the iconic sci-fi series. Speaking at the Royal Television Society conference, Brittin revealed he'd received a fully AI-created 'Doctor Who' episode and called it 'pretty good'—a remark Davies branded 'clumsy' and out of touch with the show's creative heart.
Davies, who revived the series in 2005 and returned in 2023, stressed that human storytelling and imagination remain irreplaceable, warning against reducing the beloved franchise to algorithmic output. He also offered a rare glimpse into the show's future, confirming that filming for the next season will begin in summer 2025, with new episodes expected to hit screens later that year or in 2026.
