In Doctor Who Season Two, the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) is trying to get Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) back home. This means getting back to modern-day Earth, not simply the planet. Trips into Earth’s past are still possible. Why aren’t trips to the planet’s future possible? Russell T Davies hinted at this in SFX magazine 390.
“Getting back to a very specific date,” Davies teased to SFX. “That’ll make sense once you watch the whole season.”
A teaser released by the BBC may lend some clues to this.
