Why the Chibnall Era is the most like Classic Who in the Revived Era
Why the Chibnall Era is the most like Classic Who in the Revived Era
Out of RTD, Moffat & Chibnall, I feel the Chibnall Era is the most like Classic Who, I’ve created this thread to show the many similarities it shares with the Classic Era. I hope you enjoy
If you see any more similarities please let me know below this thread.

THEME TUNE
I think the most obvious is the beautiful new theme tune, harking back to the very original. It has the basic elements of it but is modernised using the music technology that Delia did not have. It’s very classicy.

SOUNDTRACK
Segun Akinola’s music is a lot more like the music in the Classic, while Murray was very orchestral, Segun is very experimental, just like the Classic composers, which makes for some awesome synthetic, atmospheric and diverse music.

TARDIS
Jodie’s Tardis exterior is a lot like the 1976/86 boxes, while the interior has the short time rotor like classic interiors, & the very obvious is the Fugitive Tardis Exterior & Interior being extremely like the Hartnell Tardis.

SILLY MONSTERS
Tim Shaw, Pting, Solitract, Cyber Drones and Cyber Masters are perfect examples of the silly classic monsters from the Kandy Man, to the Voord and Quarks. It brings back the fun side to them.

STANDALONE STORIES
Series Eleven’s format was pretty much the format of Classic Who, stand-alone stories that didn’t have much link with each other, all having their own plots. It was a nice shake up.

THE BATTLE OF RANSKOOR AV KOLOS
As people who’ve grown up watching the RTD & Moffat eras, we’ve gotten used to the big explosive finales, whereas Ranskoor was just another episode in the series, which was the format for pretty much every Season finale in Classic Who.

THE TIMELESS CHILD
The Timeless Child is very similar to the Classic Who stories & arcs such as The Deadly Assasin, The Brain of Morbius and Cartmels Masterplan. Adding big but fitting changes to Doctor Who continuity.

CLASSIC REFERENCES
This era is littered with Classic references from Tissue Compression, No Humans on Gallifrey, Jodrell Bank, Cyber Wars, Ponopitcon, Matrix, Boursa, Assasinating Presidents, I could go on.

I love how Chibnall has linked more of the show to its past, and as I’ve shown, he’s done it in many different ways. I applaud that he’s taken it back to Classic Who. I can’t wait to see what else he does.
