Summary
Russell T Davies reveals howDoctor Who ’s coming Beatles - ground instalment come up to be . Davies is the riposte showrunner forDoctor Whoseason 14 , after antecedently coming back for 2023’sDoctor Who60th day of remembrance specials . Doctor Whoseason 14 will seeNcuti Gatwa playact the Fifteenth Doctor , with Millie Gibson playing his comrade , Ruby Sunday .
PerEmpire , Davies talks about the backdrop for theDoctor Whoseason 14Beatles installment . fit in to the showrunner , the idea of doing a Beatles episode has been floated for years but has always faced the inevitable obstacle of the fact that “ the copyright is too expensive ” to bring a Beatles song in an episode about the Beatles . This run Davies to think up creative way to make a Beatles - base episode without their music . break out the full inverted comma from Davies below :
I cognise instantly you’re able to never play Beatles birdsong on screen door because the copyright is too expensive . So I ’m thinking , ‘ How would you do a Beatles episode without Beatles euphony ? ’ And that becomes the entire secret plan . That ’s where the melodic theme came from – copyright law ! There ’s a unseasoned director call Sam Arbor who I ’ve kind of been mentoring for a while , and when I state him I was going back to Doctor Who , he was just 21 and said , ‘ Oh my God , if I had a TARDIS , I ’d go back and watch the Beatles record their first album . ’ And I thought for a 21 - year - old to say that must mean there ’s something to that mind .
Why The Doctor Who Beatles Episode Makes Sense
Sir Humphrey Davy ’ conversation with the new music director is not an isolated incident of the go impact of the Beatles . The British dance orchestra is still deeply engraft within the cultural milieu , as unseasoned masses today still do it and revalue Beatles songs . This extend to other media , as there has been copious Beatles - ground content in recent years . This includes fiction works such asYesterdayand the Oscar - winning shortWar is Over ! , as well as several spectacular documentary , including Peter Jackson ’s strike Disney+ docuseriesThe Beatles : Get Back .
Sam Mendes ' larger-than-life four - movie Beatles biopic sounds fascinating , but which four UK actors would be the perfect John , Paul , George , and Ringo ?
Per the episode verbal description , it will see both the Time Lord and fellow traveller Ruby Sunday travel to Abbey Road to see the Beatles ' first recording .
The survive impression that The Beatles made arrive at theDoctor Whoepisode a great idea . The time - traveling power ofthe TARDIS allowDoctor Whoto explore legion clock time period , many of which include noted figures . WhileDoctor Whohas taken this to spheric extremes by exploring worldwide shoes , The Beatles seem particularly pressing as the band is an essential part of British music story . It is also a period that could not have been explore in earlier season , as The Beatles broke up several years after the Time Lord debuted .
TheDoctor WhoBeatles ’ episode will be title “ The Devil ’s Chord . ” Per the installment description , it will see both theTime Lord and fellow traveler Ruby Sunday travel to Abbey Road to see the Beatles ' first recording . precisely how this will work without famous Beatles songs remains to be seen as the hold forDoctor Whoseason 14 continue .
