Oh god not something new and interesting

The problem isn't that it's new, it's that it would be loving stupid.

She's the first female Doctor. Taking her and splitting her into three distinct personalities and the getting rid of all three at the end of the season to make her whole again, which would essentially be a brand new character is dumb.

Chibnall also wrote the episodes of Life on Mars about a suspect dying in custody and Sam meeting his mentor: the first black cop on the force. It MIGHT be fine?

The black cop was okay but everything else in that episode was liquid poo poo.

Or Rosa Parks is featuring in the episode as an entirely accurate depiction of the event because Yasmine, whose a political activist, tells the Doctor she wants to witness it.

That's a possibility too.

Weird how we have to condemn the Hartnell era of Doctor Who by turning the First Doctor into a cartoon racist, but Nixon and Churchill are depicted as lovable scamps who had to be hardass decision makers.

This is because it was Moffats parting shot at those who call him sexist. He wanted to let you know that despite his faults it could be much worse... by inventing faults that weren't present in a 60 year old version of the show.

It's actually immensely disrespectful to the production crew of the time (which remains the most diverse one that Doctor Who has ever had) for a white rich man to protray their character as a racist and sexist dinosaur for his own gratification.

Thank you. It was taking me a while to figure out what a "bum bag" was, and I wasn't about to Google it. I wasn't even looking at where it was, I was thinking it was the jacket, or was looking for a messenger bag type...thing.

Well they aren't actually filming there so it could be Jodies personal belonging for between takes and down time.

Actually Sideways was the term used to describe a real world concept or idea told via science fiction. The Daleks were specifically a sideways pitch on the Nazi's. This is from the Doctor Who Vault.

Not the first person to say it, but it looks medieval to me, like we're getting The Time Warrior Redux.

Although that doesn't explain why they're filming on a suburban street, I suppose.

I think that's just the style of the art right now for some costumes. The new Cybermen also looked medieval in set pics and then in the show proper you could hardly tell any difference.

I feel like everyone is kind of jumping into this being about the Sea Devils a little heavily. It's the UNIT spin-off that's long been rumored, just that the overarching conflict is between UNIT and the Sea Devils.

My understanding, from reading all the leaks I can find, is that it's got a couple of standalone eps about UNIT fighting other threats, but with the main plot of the season being about the Sea Devils.

Was a lot more excited about the Sea Devils before their recent turn with 13. That episode was apparently a bit of a disaster production wise, and this makes it seem like someone in the BBC is bound and determined to make the money they spent on those costumes worthwhile finally. lol

They were poo poo costumes too.

Ncutti just posted an Instagram story calling Millies "my little Gemini heart". He's big into astrology, hence the Gemini thing. No mention of anything else but the timing must be deliberate.

Honestly, if there's been behind the scene problems I'd put them firmly at the production offices feet. It's a recurring pattern for them to have HR issues and Millie might only be 18 going on 19 during filming but she also came from soaps. Corrie might not be as demanding as Doctor Who in lots of ways but I guarantee its a great proving ground to stamp out "diva" behaviour.

So, she'll have the entire first series, and then leaves at some point in the second one, possibly to join the UNIT spinoff

(wouldn't it be amusing if they scoop up leftover companions to use as intelligence officers for alien threats after their on and offscreen adventures with the Doctor? Are there any other living Classic companions they cold possibly use? ...what about Audio companions?)

Kinda standard companion fare, honestly, especially under RTD's tenure - it was only Classic and Moffat that really had multi-season companions

Not a classic companion, and I thought her writing was dull as dishwater, but Yaz could be a great fit for the UNIT spin-off.
