The fact that they started making 12th Doctor chronicles during the 
middle of Whittaker's run proves me right. If you had any sense you 
would have realized that this coincided with both Whittaker and Chibnall 
being sacked during the middle of filming of her second series. If Big 
Finish are starting on Whittaker stories then that means that Gatwa has 
been sacked too. Surprised you didn't mention that Tennant II stands 
between Whittaker and Gatwa but he's still alive since the BBC didn't 
trust Gatwa to hold the series together by himself.

Consider those as Unbound stories.

You are the one whose lunacy we need to be saved from.

Proving once again that Doctor Who ended in 2017 and everything 
afterwards is pure fan fic.
