Yes, Mel revealed that Sabalom Glitz is dead in The Giggle, but Doctor Who is a time travel show!

One of the last characters created by legendary Doctor Who writer Robert Holmes, this intergalactic Del Boy had spinoff potential written all over him. If Doctor Who had been in better shape in the eyes of the BBC in the late 1980s, who knows what might have happened?

Glitz is our way into the seedier side of the Doctor Who universe, which could really open things up from a storytelling perspective.

Sadly, actor Tony Selby passed away in 2021, but there is someone who would be a perfect Glitz in Doctor Who's new era. Go with us here. Ready? Danny Dyer! He's got that exact same vibe, and he's already worked with Disney and David Tennant on the TV show Rivals!
