It really does look like it's escaped from some '80s BBC kids show.

TV Movie console room is obvs best. There�s a dude on a Who prop FB group who has a replica McGann console room at home (giant struts and all) and it�s amazing.

"Mesopotamia."

That was the last word of dialogue to be filmed for this set of Doctor Who episodes, on set on Friday 3 August at Roath Lock Studios. Done, wrapped, finished.

It felt a long way from the first yell of "Action!" on Halloween last year. Back then, standing there in the dark, in our hard hats, we were pondering the wisdom of starting with such a complex and crucial sequence. And now here we are, out the other side, nearly ten months filming all done, on new stories, new characters - and a new Doctor.

It's thrilling to think there will be children encountering Jodie's Doctor in the next few weeks who've never seen the show before. She'll be forever their Doctor: every Doctor is a first Doctor for someone. And everybody reading this magazine knows that once this show lodges in your heart it never really lets go.

There's a new opening title sequence too, and a new arrangement of the opening theme, by our brilliant new composer Segun Akinola. You'll have to wait till episode two to see those in situ, though. Episode one starts slightly differently.

Episode 3 details... considering it's been written by Malorie Blackman, I feel a lot more confident. Although I'm suddenly remembering that weren't Zygons sighted on set for this one? And they've since claimed there's no old/classic monsters?

Episode 3: Rosa

The Doctor takes her companions on their first journey back in time - to the dangerous, racially segregated world of Alabama in the 1950s. They encounter one of the era's heroes, black civil rights campaigner Rosa Parks, but also discover a plot to change the course of history. Vinette Robinson (Sherlock, The A Word) guest stars in an episode by acclaimed children's author Malorie Blackman. Chris Chibnall has a co-writing credit for this episode.

The guest cast list:

Rosa Parks: Vinette Robinson
Krasko: Joshua Bowman
James Blake: Trevor White
Mr Steele: Richard Lothian
Police officer: Mason Gareth Marks
Raymond Parks: David Rubin
Martin Luther King Jr: Ray Sesay
Fred Gray: Aki Omoshaybi
Elias Griffin Jr: David Dukas

Also, New Years Day special synopsis, which is vague at best, but does reveal Team TARDIS is still together.

Apparently this is the Dalek from the NY special. It�s a new style one, but painted silver with blue bumps like a Hartnell classic.

Are they reusing the Nightmare in Silver design? I was hoping they'd go for something new with Chibnall.

So the alleged leak making the rounds on Reddit is that the Timeless Child was a mystery child found by the Time Lords on an alien world with the ability to endlessly regenerate. That's where the ability to regenerate comes from, and the Timeless child was I guess killed by the process of taking this ability. The Timeless Child was then resurrected as the Doctor who doesn't remember all these previous regenerations. Ruth is one of these pre-Hartnell regenerations.

I can't really express how lame this would be if true.

And it WAS terrible! loving yikes. :cripes:

Anyway, we might be losing the good companions.

It looks like they reused a lot of the junkyard dalek and just painted it black. Like, I can understand the one in Resolution looking like it did because the creature was making do with shoddy earth materials, and this was the best it could manage.

To learn the recon dalek actually looks like that is... weird.

He�s in the upcoming Spider-Man spin-off, Morbius, and his IMDB shows him working pretty consistently on film, tv, and stage. He was Patrick Bateman in American Psycho: the musical on stage in London a few years back and I wish I�d got to see that.

I fully expect him to have a Bill Nighy arc when he gets to his 50s.
