Summary
Doctor of the Church Who ’s net 60th anniversary special , " The Giggle " has fix up the rumor UNIT spinoff show on Disney+ in multiple ways . Now installed in a flashy unexampled skyscraper in primal London , UNIT think the Fourteenth Doctor ( David Tennant ) to serve them check the world from going mad . Although the independent draw of " The Giggle " is the fight between the Doctor and the Toymaker ( Neil Patrick Harris ) , there ’s a sense that it ’s set up up a succeeding UNIT spinoff . Doctor Whospinoffs on Disney+ have been to a great extent rumour since the co - output flock was announce . The newWhoniverse championship also implies thatDoctor Whowill have its own expansive fictional universe of discourse .
The final Doctor Who anniversary special , " The Giggle , " is a regeneration story like no other - and its ending sets up some rattling risky venture .
8UNIT’s Brand New Headquarters
It looks a lot like the Avengers Tower.
Doctor Who ’s UNIThave never had the best of luck with their HQs in the modern series . Their New York HQ and the Valiant were devastated by the Daleks in " The Stolen Earth " , their presidential airplane was blow up by Zygons in " The Zygon Invasion " , and their brand - new building was blown up by Tegan Jovanka ( Jane Fielding ) in " The Power of the Doctor . " The biggest surprise of " The Giggle " is that the UNIT skyscraper largely remains standing after their face-off with the Toymaker . afford UNIT a lasting base of operations of operations does finger like a agency to institute theDoctor Whospinoff show ’s principal emplacement .
7The Dynamic Between The New UNIT Team
Doctor Who’s new UNIT work brilliantly together.
In the seventies , Doctor Whohad the UNIT syndicate , so - called because of the warm relationships between the Third Doctor ( Jon Pertwee ) , his fellow and the UNIT squad . There ’s a sense of this camaraderie in " The Giggle " , with Shirley Anne Bingham ( Ruth Madeley ) rapidly forgive Kate for her ableist abuse while under the influence of the Toymaker . This is clearly a team that trusts each other implicitly , much like the UNIT squad of sure-enough . A strong central team structure is a substantial foundation for their future appearances inDoctor Who , but it also guarantees good grounding for a spinoff show .
6The Vlinx
What’s going on with UNIT’s new robot?
The Vlinx ( Nicholas Briggs ) feel like the most obvious bit of set up forDoctor Who ’s UNIT spinoff . There must be many stories to tell about how the Vlinx come to Earth and began make for UNIT . They appear to be a robotic version ofJames Bond ’s Q , providing UNIT with gadgets and technology to meet alien threats . The Vlinx invented the Zeedex that harbour UNIT from the effects of " The Giggle " , and would presumably fulfill a similar purpose in future appearances . Doctor Who ’s fresh automaton also draw comparisons with Mr. Smith ( Alexander Armstrong ) from Russell T Humphrey Davy ' previous spinoff show , The Sarah Jane Adventures , further teasing a potential UNIT show .
5The Galvanic Beam
UNIT is sufficiently tooled up to fight alien threats.
The galvanic beam that triggeredDoctor Who ’s first bi - generationis more grounds of the substantial instrument that UNIT have at their disposition . agency back in David Tennant ’s first - ever episode , " The Christmas Invasion " , the Torchwood Institute had a similarly brawny weapon trained on the Sycorax spaceship . The reveals about Torchwood resort throughout David Tennant ’s firstDoctor Whoseason , culminate in their intro in the season 2 finale and the eventual John Barrowman - extend spinoff . It ’s potential that the galvanic radio beam is a subtle callback , with future building block installment in Ncuti Gatwa ’s earned run average eventually pave the way for a full series order for a UNIT spinoff on Disney+ .
medico Who returns to Torchwood after 12 years and it does n’t look dear . Could the secretive organization be resurrected for the Ncuti Gatwa earned run average ?
4UNIT Offers Donna A Job
Could Catherine Tate come back in a spinoff show?
Donna brilliantly figures out that the brain signal resemble a air , eventually cheer the Doctor to recognize that it ’s the giggle of Stooky Bill stored in broadcast signaling . The super temporary from Chiswick impress Kate Stewart so much that she offers Donna a problem with a generous remuneration software package and welfare . Donna does n’t explicitly accept the Book of Job on - screen , but the money will give her cash - strap family the probability to relax more . Interestingly , Yasmin Finney is said to return for Ncuti Gatwa ’s first season ofDoctor Who , perhaps interning for UNIT . If Donna ’s girl is still in the new epoch ofDoctor Who , then it ’s easy enough for her to drink down up in a UNIT spinoff in a special guest role .
3Doctor Who’s Mel Now Works For UNIT
The 1980s companion will be back next season, too.
Kate Stewart satisfy her hope to theDoctor Whocompanion support groupby hiring Mel as a computer expert for UNIT . If Russell T Davies is duplicate some of his retiring aureole , he could do a lot worse than put Bonnie Langford front and center in her own show . That ’s what he did with Elisabeth Sladen andThe Sarah Jane Adventuresin 2006 , so it would make a heap of sense to do the same with Langford . While Mel was a divisiveDoctor Whocompanion , Bonnie Langford is an excellent actress with a big public visibility thanks to her West End and Broadway experience . There could be nobody serious to precede the UNIT spinoff alongside Jemma Redgrave .
2UNIT Are Hiring Former Doctor Who Companions
It’s not just Donna and Mel.
While executive producingThe Sarah Jane Adventures , Russell T Davies fetch back both the Brigadier and Jo Grant ( Katy Manning ) . He also planned to land back Sophie Aldred as Ace , had Elisabeth Sladen not sadly go through away before take on time of year 5 complete . RTD clearly does n’t want to crowd the new show with old face , and that ’s the right-hand decision as Ncuti Gatwa’sDoctor Whois being bill as a impertinent kickoff . However , with Mel , Tegan , Ace , and potentially Donna Noble on the payroll , there ’s a genuine possibility that other classicDoctor Whocompanions will be brought into a UNIT spinoff show to provide their own unique expertness .
1UNIT Has An Earthbound Doctor Again
David Tennant’s 14th Doctor remains on Earth.
50 years after the Third Doctor ’s exile to Earth ended , the Fourteenth Doctor ’s is just beginning . While this is a ego - imposed exile designed to give the Doctor meter to pillow , reflect , and revel a normal life , UNIT will be reassured to know they ’ve got him on stop number dial . Russell T Davy making the decision to keep aroundDavid Tennant afterDoctor Whofeels like a compute move to get back the Fourteenth Doctor when the story demands it . have the retired Fourteenth Doctor occasionally feature as an advisory anatomy in the new UNIT spinoff could provide an interesting new spin onDoctor Whotropes that would n’t countermine his heartwarming well-chosen ending .
Doctor Whoreturns to BBC One and Disney+ on Christmas Day . All three sixtieth day of remembrance special are usable to stream now .
