No 2 parters, but with the episodes being an hour long now, that might be enough?

Actually, a lot of the problem with two-parters is that they feel just a little drawn out, and some of the episodes that should have been two-parters maybe could have had problems solved with just a little extra time. Hopefully they can still stick a few cliffhangers in, but if not, maybe next season.

Think that was debunked. Think they said 50 min eps

Its interesting that Chibnal is emphasising the relationships between Doctor and Companions a lot more than the RTD/Moffat trailer theory of "check out all these cool looking monsters/planets!"

I would think the latter would be more effective at pulling in non-fan viewers, but maybe the perception is just "doctor who, yeah, guys in rubber costumes, got it"

First episode is 1 hour and the others are 50 minutes, if I recall correctly.

Power of Three would have been great if they never explained the cubes and the Doctor was just using it as an excuse to hang out on Earth for a while.

I'd have loved that, but realistically speaking we'd still be looking for Chibnal's body.

I remember seeing similar executive desk toys once upon a time. They should have slid down into the console when it was stopped, rather than just start moving, to preserve the illusion.

I’m getting a steampunk coral vibe from the interior and I’m not crazy about it. It looks like a rusted pocket watch.

What if she wears one in the 80's and actually sets off the trend?

Sorta hard to tell what to think from the two shots I can see. I'll wait to reserve judgement.

I definitely like Thirteen's outfit better every time that I see it, though.

I think I like her burgundy tee more than the grey one, but they’re both fantastic. 13 was always going to be a popular choice for cosplayers, but I think the apparent comfortability is definitely going to help. Love the coat, love the tees, love the boots. I’m only iffy about the capri(?) pants. Really digging the whole 80’s look though.

Not too sure about the whole "threshold" thing they've got going on there.

I'm not a fan of the steampunk cogs and gears thing, but I quite like those pink columns being a bit 'Coral desktop theme'. I really liked the RTD and especially 11's first console rooms in how they felt slightly biomechanical.

Oh god, there's going to be so many jokes about how the the first female doctor has decorated her room PINK! aren't there?

I'm sort of cool on the new Doctor's costume, mainly because all I think of when I see her in it is that she's floodin' like a mofo. :v:

Capris are often jokingly called flood pants because you can wade through ankle deep water without getting your cuffs wet. See: the "Everything's Coming Up Milhouse" meme

You ever see a pic of a stereotypical nerd, like Steve Urkel? And how the cuffs of their trousers are usually several inches above the tops of their shoes? That is what the hip kids in the streets call "flooding", aka "flood pants" (or trousers if you're in the UK, since "pants" means "underwear" over there), because the wearer can walk in ankle-deep water (such as one might encounter during a flood) without fear that their trouser legs would get wet.

I now lay this joke to rest, having thoroughly murdered it via over-explanation. :rip:

At first I wanted to say it was going to be a smaller console room, more intimate than 11/12s, more like 9/10s, because the console was so close to the door. But upon looking at shots of the most recent one online, the console was pretty close to the doors from some angles so :shrug:

2002 heck, if you were a kid in the early-mid 1980s you'd get the piss taken out of you mercilessly, and that was even after Michael Jackson moonwalked wearing the drat things.
