Last Year’s Most Shocking Doctor Who Cliffhanger Explained by Writer & Producer (Was It Planned?)

Russell T. Davies, the showrunner of Doctor Who and a writer/producer on the The War Between the Land and the Sea spinoff, recently shared on a Blu-ray bonus feature (via Cultbox) that the story’s ending was initially quite different. Originally, Russell Tovey’s character, Barclay, wasn’t meant to find happiness. He was supposed to be left behind in the human world while the Aquakind were confined to a reservation. Furthermore, Barclay was intended to be the one who angrily confronted someone for littering, highlighting humanity’s failure to learn from past events. “That was always the planned ending for Barclay,” Davies stated.

It’s a twist of fate that Tim, a long-time member of the Monarch team, is now in charge of containing Titan X. While he’s experienced, Tim is much better at coming up with theories than leading – he used to be relegated to a back room and considered something of a failure.

One Piece’s Biggest Problem Still Stops It From Becoming the Best (And It’s Time It Was Fixed)

Watching One Piece unfold over the years, I’ve noticed a pattern that really stands out – a real reluctance to let characters die. Considering how vast and dangerous the world is within the story, and how long it’s been running with thousands of chapters, it’s striking how few major characters have actually met their end.

Honestly, I think it’s time the series addressed this and started raising the stakes with genuine consequences.
