 On the 6th of June 2021, I started Doctor Who The Community Show with a really bad pilot that I'm 80% sure I've unlisted. But since then I've done nearly two full seasons of the show, met some amazing people and then about a month or two ago I announced on Twitter and such that it was ending. Well, how do I put this? Oh, I know. When Doctor Who The Community Show returns, it won't be with me. Yeah, so let me explain. At the end of October I did my fifth and final MCM Comic Con panel, the final community show project and it was a blast. I am shocked I've done five of those. But it was also my final chance to do my cheeky Doctor Who themed quiz where I do questions about the show as well as the guests. And I've had some very fun and stupid prizes that I've dug out from my drawers over the years as well. But this year I had something big on the line. I decided that day as I was writing the questions that morning when I arrived at the con on Sunday, would be something big, something spectacular. The license to the community show. Yes, really, whoever won my silly quiz on that day would win the community show, the brand, the show, all that comes with it in the future. Everything that came before, of course, is still mine. You know, everything I've hosted, so the previous five panels and the last two seasons of the show, all mine. But whatever comes next or all of the social media presences like Twitter, Instagram and even the Discord will belong to whoever won. So who did? Well, if you were there at the panel, you would know that it was between two people. Would have been three if Josh Carr bothered to turn up. I'm kidding, love you Josh. But it was between Jack of Nerdden and Jack of an awful lot of running podcast. Yes, really, between the Jacks. It couldn't have worked out better. And of course you'll be thinking to yourself, well who won? For goodness sake, why are you wearing a fucking Christmas jumper? I don't know. I just think he looks cool. But the winner, the person who will be helming the show, if they choose to continue it and helming all of the social medias and just the brand as a whole is Jack Alexander. You were serious. Feels weird. Now you may be thinking to yourself, you decided to do this on the day. Do you regret it? Was it a sort of stir of the moment idea? And yes and no. I ended the show for a myriad of reasons. I didn't feel like I was fit for that sort of role of a community manager, if you will. I didn't enjoy really creating the show outside of doing in-person interviews, which I adored. But at the same time, I recognized that the community show, if I may toot my own horn, was a bloody good idea. Like it's something just purely positive in the community that god damn it needs. It's so depressing. I've deleted Twitter off my phone now. I can't physically look at it all the time. It makes me sad. But at the same time, it is important that we have something like that. So I saw an opportunity with two, well it would have been three, but two brilliant people in the community that would be perfect for that role. Better than I ever could. And Jack Alexander is now that person. It is up to him what happens from here. If he decides to just can the show, that's in his right. He can just do that. I can give him all the passwords, which I'll be doing soon, and he can just delete it all. That's his call. And he doesn't have to continue the show the way I did it. It is his thing now. And of course, he still has an awful lot of running podcasts and all the other projects that he wants to do. And that's awesome. But now he has the community show and he has accepted it wholeheartedly. If I may take a moment, I would like to thank everyone that was either helping me make the show or came on the show or you know, made something for it. There's honestly too many to count. And that also includes my Comic Con panelists. All of you are wonderful and did an amazing job. I mean, we're all weird internet people translating that to a live show with pretty sizable audiences if I can brag for a sec is mind blowing. Excellent work to all of you. But there are three people in particular that I want to thank very specifically. Number one is my good friend Harry. I'm sure you'll know him by now from the City of Death spoof and being Rory and the Let's Play thing. He's the one that made the theme tune for me, both the regular theme, the new theme, the Christmas one and the Halloween one. So massive thank you to you, Harry. You always are fantastic with your music when it comes to community show or Doctor Who Road. Phenomenal. Love you. Subscribe to Hudson Media. Or else I'll kill you. Yeah, probably. Next is Jerry, who made that and all of my Comic Con posters. Jerry, who you'll probably know from Doctor Who Poop, has been phenomenal in just in the beginning, specifically just making it for a laugh. Like he was just like, I like this idea. Here's a logo if you want it. And I've been using it for the last two years. Phenomenal. I love it. And I do hope Jacqueline's on the keeps the logo because he could change it. He could do what he wants. It could just be his face. Like, but yes, Jerry, you are phenomenal. You'll work on the Comic Con panel posters, especially have just blown my mind. It's added this sort of level of professionalism to it, which I sure as hell can't match. I'm not professional in the slightest. If you know me even a little bit, you'll know that I'm awful. Also, I've just realized in this very important for me video, I've just got the words pleasure help, which proves my point. Also, the final person I really want to make sure that I think is Bo. Essentially, Bo was a my first ever guest. It was an unproven show that didn't exist yet. I got in touch with her because one of her pieces was shared on the official Doctor who Twitter, and she was very kind to come on and have a chat. And now she's been a great friend. She even came down and stayed with me and Gemma for a while in the flat so she can go to Comic Con. And I love her. Love Bo. We all love Bo. Love Bo. Amazing artist, too. She's also made some pieces for the Community Show store, which is still around. I probably have to take that down. But for example, two examples. In fact, she made the melon t-shirt, the Dalek melon, which was actually sold pretty damn well for what it was, and also the Cybermen Pumpkins, which is a hoodie I wear all the time. So big thank you to Bo, Jerry and Harry, my Community Show team. So where does that leave me? Where does that leave Jack Community Show-less? Well, basically where I was before and after. To be honest, doing Doctor Who Road, other dumb videos like the Let's Plays and the City of Death spoof. I'm just going to be in my weird little niche corner of this stupid website twiddling my thumbs and just doing that. Just doing that. Having to laugh me. Just stepping away from the wider community as a whole because if I'm being completely honest, I'm not that enthused. And hell, that's one of the main reasons that I was never fit for the Community Show. It doesn't all interest me very much. I know what I like. It's very small and niche and I'm happy to stay there. And if you want to stay with me, cool. If not, no hard feelings. Don't expect any more Community Show content here. Well, that's it from me. If you want to follow any more Community Show stuff, go to Jack Alexander's Stuff, his is social, as well as all the Community Show socials, which will now be his. So there's Instagram, Twitter, and even a Discord link in the description. To steal a phrase, it's been a trip of a lifetime. I've been places and done things I never thought I would do, ranging from Comic-Con to Time Fracture. Oh, God, Time Fracture. Seeing the DW 2012 TARDIS and meeting Katie Haynes in the flesh and the Dobsons. Oh, love the Dobsons. And I'm not going to keep listening because I'm going to miss someone that I'm going to be very upset with myself. But thank you for watching. I hope you've enjoyed all the Community Show stuff that I've done. And good luck to the other Jack. I'm free.
