Fast forward to 2025. Im 28 years old and preparing for a summer of sci-fi with Doctor Who and Andor. Doctor Who received a new lease of life (and a whole lot of dough alongside it) in 2022 when Disney Plus became its new international home. For a show thats called One Piece for British people with its eye-watering number of episodes dating back to the series premiere in 1963, the fact that Doctor Who was suddenly available to much wider audience was exciting. (As an aside, Id also called it the summer of Varada Sethu, who appears in both Andor and in Doctor Who, as the latest companion to Ncuti Gatwas 15th Doctor. I couldnt wait to see how these shows would feature one of my favorite actors. Spoiler: This would not work out for me. Varada Sethu, Im so sorry.)
