co-creator Alexander Woo told The Hollywood Reporter: "There was another sequence that was really fun and played really well and would have been a fantastic cameo appearance for an actor that I don’t want to name —because I don’t want to make someone feel bad for being cut out of the show.
“However, it is a former Doctor Who, I’ll say that much. Fans of that would probably would have found it delightful. But for the sake of the rest of the episode, we had to set it aside.”
DB Weiss joked: “Jon Pertwee – 124 years old and still showed up.”
Leave it to the former GoT showrunners to casually axe a high profile cameo. Apparently even their cutting room floor is like a Red Wedding.
So we’ll never know which surviving Doctor didn’t make the final edit, but speculation is fun, and free. Go nuts in the comments 🙂
I adore the books but I have no idea why you would put them to film. If I would characterize anything as unfilmable, it would be this series. You might as well cast a physics textbook and put it on screen.
Have you seen the Chinese TV show? It’s 30-ish episodes IIRC, curious if they get it right?
