Oh, goody. That’s hopefully the series teaser, and even more hopefully will include the start date. 🙂

They’re called culottes over here – and yes, they’re worn here in the UK, though I don’t know how much that comes from the 2017 publicity over the new costume reminding young women that the things exist. 🙂 They were quite popular back in the early eighties, which makes me think that the Whittaker Doctor may be acquiring her new clothes…[Read more]

@JimTheFish – I was assuming that Craig had that annoying thing known as Real Life to deal with and would get round to Episode 2 eventually.

Time Heist?

And it’s the last audio commentary for this story.

Verity Lambert notes that Sidney Newman taught her the importance of cliffhangers – ‘you’ve got to grab them by the balls in the first 30 seconds.’ The cliffhanger was what brought the audience back. He also taught her the importance of splitting stories into ‘acts’. For the 24 minute Doctor Who…[Read more]
