Hidden news! As Doctor Who will be financed by and shown on Disney+ , doesn’t that mean that in future each Doctor Who series will be only six episodes long, as this is the standard length for a Disney+ series?

I’m sorry about all the HTML tags in my last post! I copied this post from my email after getting an error message there, but then added a few more words. Some time ago, I edited a message to remove the tags, but then found the message got hidden and I couldn’t repost it. Perhaps a moderator could remove the tags.

<div dir=”auto”>@Oblique The expression clean slate applied to Doctor Who may only be a rumour. I think what it might mean is The Doctor having all his memories wiped, then being left to wander round space and time without meeting any Daleks, Cybermen, The Master, Sontarans, Autons, Silurians, Sea Devils, Ice Warriors, Mara, or any other alien…[Read more]

So, after this spectacular episode “The Power of The Doctor” coming late in yet another year with only three specials and no new series, not even one with only six episodes, it looks like the BBC have pretty well killed off Doctor Who as a TV series! They started doing this in 2009 when David Tennant was allowed to go off and play Shakespeare,…[Read more]

One thing I forgot about which should have been explained in this episode if not in a previous episode, but it never has been. The Thirteenth Doctor’s hair. After a regeneration, the Doctor’s whole body and hair are changed. The colour, type or hair, and hairstyle can all change. One thing still remains a mystery, though. Just after regenerating…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip I think everyone should take care of their appearance. As for the Classic Doctors who appeared in this episode, I think that at least they should have been wearing wigs that looked like their hair when they played The Doctor.

I’m very, very disappointed that only four million people in the UK (or who seem to be in the UK, but…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip Sarah Jane Smith still looked recognisable in “School Reunion” (2006) although she hadn’t been in Doctor Who since “The Hand of Fear” (1976), as well as in “The Sarah Jane Adventures”, although she hadn’t appeared in Doctor Who for 30 years in between appearances! I also thought that all the Doctors were easily recognisable apart…[Read more]

@devilishrobby I’m afraid I don’t agree with your comment on my post. I think that Janet Fielding now looks like a totally different person. I saw a short video of her taken at a convention years later where she looked similar to how she looked in Doctor Who, though. As for Paul McGann, he later appeared in the short video “The Night of The…[Read more]

“The Power of The Doctor”. I was really looking forward to this special episode, especially after being deprived of new episodes for six months. I knew it was a regeneration episode, so that alone should make it exciting. I did enjoy it, but the question is how much? I was often thinking “What IS this?”, or “What’s happening now?”, which are goo…[Read more]

I think this is the first time I’ve posted in Dr Who News. In the past I’ve posted in other parts of this forum, though. I’d like to confirm that I mean everything I say in this post. I can’t help thinking that other people have been slowly brainwashed by the BBC’s plans for Doctor Who, which weren’t announced all at once.
<p…[Read more]

I’ve just read all your posts after waiting some time for my original post to reappear.

Of course, there are always things that happen which you’re not supposed to notice. I wonder what the neighbours thought when a new house (the spare TARDIS in disguise) suddenly appeared right next to theirs all of a sudden?

I also seem to remember…[Read more]

Craig, where is my long post which appeared here before, but after I deleted some tags it disappeared? Please can you sort this problem out ASAP? I”m not even allowed to post it again, because this is detected,l then I get an error message!

This New Year’s special was yet another excellent example of a constantly twisting plot as we have seen with Showrunner Chris Chibnall in the past! There were references to so many Doctor Who episodes from the era of the thirteenth Doctor, as well as the return of Captain Jack from the ninth Doctor’s era.
Ever since Series 12 ended, I thought t…[Read more]

I’ve avoided reading any previews of this story, or reading any of your comments before posting this.

I certainly must say, what a welcome and long awaited return for Doctor Who! I was totally disgusted for this year long wait for the return of the BBC’s flagship programme. More than that, it’s the only BBC programme I still watch, after decid…[Read more]

I posted my last comment before reading any of your comments, but now I’ve read them, so I can comment on them. Unfortunately, I write my comment in Libre Office, then copied and pasted it onto this forum, only to find lots of formatting tags visible. I edited them out, but then found my post had disappeared, so then I had to copy and paste again,…[Read more]

<span style=”font-size: medium;”>DOCTOR WHO “RESOLUTION“</span>

<span style=”font-size: medium;”>So, the Daleks are back! It‘s a pity that information was given out in advance. Even so, I couldn‘t have predicted what type of Dalek we‘d see in this episode, so I thought it was good that we saw a Dalek trying new tactics. I don‘t think I‘d ever se…[Read more]

@pedant I don’t care about the BBC and their budget which refuses to give enough funds to Doctor Who! Recently the only BBC TV programme I’ve watched is “Doctor Who”. I used to watch BBC Click as well, but that seems to have gone downhill. As far as I’m concerned the BBC is closing down on January 2, 2019.

BTW, I’ve written a brilliant script…[Read more]

I was planning to post comments about each episode in Series 11 just after they were shown, but unfortunately I didn‘t get round to it. I haven‘t read any of your comments for this episode or several previous episodes before posting this, so they haven‘t influenced this post. I hope you reply to me.

What can I say?! There were so many conce…[Read more]

@Tempusfugit yes I noticed the dark roots as well. Not only that, but there’s now even a 13th Doctor doll at The Forbidden Planet with dark roots! This indicates it’s intentional, but I don’t know why.

I’ve noticed something in this episode which seems to be impossible, so I wonder if anyone can explain it.

As we all know from past regenerations, The Doctor’s hair can change colour, can become curly if it was straight, or vice versa. Hair is made of DNA, although hair and nails are made of dead cells.

One thing that doesn’t change during…[Read more]
