I'm somewhat confused as to why DT appears to be back as the Dr. in the adverts with no sign of Jodie Whittaker or the new guy.
The 13th Doctor (Jodie) regenerated in to the 14th (Tennant) at the end of The Power of the Doctor. Tennant is not playing the 10th Doctor, despite having all the characteristics and mannerisms of him. He will then change in to the 15th (Gatwa) in the last of the three Specials (The Giggle), leading in to his first full episode at Christmas (The Church on Ruby Road)

I think Mr Bullett may keep a pet parrot or two

As it's Doctor Who, surely it should be a Polyphase Avatron? nerd

Isn't it simply, unpopular Doctor replaced by popular Doctor, as a pallet cleanser / ratings getter, before we get the new Doctor we know is coming ?

Apparently, the very first episode was broadcast 60 years ago today.

And they have re-edited the Adventure in time and space show first shown 10 years ago
Instead of looking across at the console of the Tardis and "seeing" Matt Smith's he sees Ncuti Gatwa

It was a great bit of TV ten years ago and it's still great

I suffered the black and white version last week, I notice they edited out some scenes to get some pace into the story too.

I thought I would start watching from the beginning. It's oddly compelling. hehe

Very silly but enjoyable. Certainly an improvement over recent years. You can see Disney splashed some cash on it.

And the new Tardis looks great.

Drawn by the guy who did Watchmen, according to Dr Who Extra, on now

And Miriam Margolyes did it's voice. IIRC she was also the sexy Cadbury caramel bunny

Agree.

Yes, there is an agenda, as Russel T is not shy of telling anyone who will listen.

Even so, a lot of fun.

Story was a bit shaky, but some good one liners. I liked "space ferret" and was it "shabby Paddington"?

Clearly written to rile up the Daily Mail biggrin
