Doctor Who Is Moving To….Disney+?

[Peter Paltridge]

For those who missed this weekend’s final Jodie Whittaker episode of Doctor Who, you only need to know two things: One, it was a total mess, and Two, the episode ended with Whittaker regenerating into…David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor. Again.
Weren’t we promised a completely different Doctor (and a Black one this time)? What gives?
