Doctor Who director Tom Kingsley has teased his 'weird' 60th anniversary episode, suggesting the Doctor could be returning to the Celestial Toyroom.
Tom Kingsley, the director of Doctor Who's second 60th anniversary special has provided a tease for his episode that supports a theory as to the identity of who Neil Patrick Harris is playing. Later in 2023, three feature-length episodes of Doctor Who will celebrate the show's 60th anniversary by pitting David Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor against Neil Patrick Harris' enigmatic antagonist, and fan-favorite comics monster Beep the Meep.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The three directors were interviewed in Doctor Who Magazine #589, where they gave a great deal of insight into how they approached these hotly-anticipated special episodes. Director Tom Kingsley described receiving and almost rejecting Russell T Davies' script for the second special, because he was unsure how he could possibly direct it - "Because a lot of my episode is quite weird.
Presumably, the games will be considerably updated for the new generation of viewers who'll be watching Doctor Who on Disney+, but it won't make the episode any less weird. The Doctor has rarely faced off against trickster gods like the Toymaker, who can create their own realities. Tom Kingsley's initial belief that the episode would be difficult to direct could, therefore, be rooted in its central villain being able to manipulate reality.
Why The Toymaker Is A Great Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Villain There's a classic Doctor Who comic strip called "Endgame", written by Alan Barnes, which saw the Toymaker create an imaginary version of the village of Stockbridge for the purposes of playing games with the Doctor. Over the course of that adventure, the Toymaker created a puppet Doctor, which the real version must defeat to save his friends.
This could mean that the 60th-anniversary special adventures are part of some elaborate game, perhaps even a metaphor for the current state of Doctor Who fandom. The Toymaker could be the ultimate version of the entitled fan, using their godlike powers to create their own Doctor as a plaything to participate in elaborate simulations of his adventures.
