UK Timeline Doctor Who - Page 27

The premier was in a Sheffield cinema on Monday there.

All previews are very spoiler free as BBC asked all press to leave any story hints out of early reviews.

Having watched that clip a few times now I think Jodie is going to be fantastic.

"Half an hour ago I was a white haired Scotsman!"

She is the Doctor!

Yep ... I saw it on Graham Norton last night. Within about 10 seconds it was obviously the Doctor. Whatever else she does with the part she obviously ‘gets’ what always makes the Doctor, the Doctor, regardless of regeneration.

Stephen · 29-09-2018, 13:21

Exactly. She has the post regeneration crazy and memory too a tee. While clearly I do still get vibes of capaldi off her.

I never pay too much attention to reviews, I'll watch and judge for myself.

I'm curious about this ;

Beyond looking and sounding lush, the 65-minute episode also has a lot of introducing to do

According to the TV listings, it only has a 1 hour slot

I like that they kept the accent rather than go with a Southern one. I know it was always likely but you never know...

The Americans will need subtitles

They've probably said it has a lot to introduce as while it is an established show, it has 4 main characters to introduce. In the classic series, that would have been relatively easy, as apart from Tegan, Ace, Sarah Jane and Nyssa, the companions didn't really have much of a back story. Since the new series has appeared, the companions have all had a back story, although Steven Moffatt backed off on that, with Amy, Rory and Clara having less of a back story than Rose, Martha or Donna.

I'm not if sure you got the point - how do you fit a 65 minute episode into a 1 hour slot ?

No problem for a Timelord

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

That will do very nicely.

I loved Jodie. She was fantastic.

Also the new composer really did a grand job. That new theme was great and harked back to the 70s. I think.
