11 Doctor Who Rumours That Turned Out To Be Complete Twaddle
Liar liar, pants on fire.
Ah, the British press. They've pretty much lost every ounce of credibility they had (if that was ever any) by this point but they're still managing to spurt out their usual foray of nonsensical stories and ridiculous reports. As one of the most hotly discussed programmes on TV, Doctor Who is often at the forefront of their outlandish claims and over the years there has been a never ending supply of "Earth-shattering" exclusives relating to the Doctor's adventures that have well and truly sent the rumour mill into overdrive. Doctor Who has even taken the time to respond to the endless outpouring of twaddle. Russell T Davies took the chance to make a dig at the tabloids in Partners in Crime when the Tenth Doctor told an enquiring journalist to "just make it up" - and it would seem that the real life ones have taken the invitation far too seriously. Some of the rumours have had truth to them (usually when the 'journalist' has been trawling the Doctor Who message boards) but that has almost always been coincidental. Most of the rumours on this list don't even deserve to be given our attention but it's amusing to see the sort of stuff they'll come up with in order to create clickbait. Extra! Extra!
