Homecoming takes a sinister turn for the Doctor this Saturday. In “Wish World,” the time-traveling hero isn’t just facing a new adventure; he’s confronting a twisted version of his own past. Traps have been laid, alliances shattered, and familiar enemies are lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike. Teaming up with Belinda, the Doctor must unravel the truth behind this distorted reality before the clock strikes midnight. But with time itself playing tricks, can they succeed?

Adding to the tension surrounding this episode are rumblings about the show’s future. A recent article in The Sun newspaper hinted that “Doctor Who” may be rested – or even canceled – after its current season due to disappointing viewership figures. The report suggests that the show’s fate may rest in the hands of Disney, co-producers of the series. Will they choose to invest further, or could this be the end of the line for the beloved Time Lord?
