That's one of the perks of being on "Doctor Who"; in most cases, even once you leave the show, you're not really done with it. Even Paul McGann, John Hurt, and Jo Martin.

One of the things that I loved about this finale was that it provided an in-universe explanation for the Remembered TARDIS: It's literally a TARDIS from memory. I also liked that we got a brief glimpse of footage from "Pyramids of Mars" on the monitor that the Doctor carried with him from the...

For longtime fans who watched the classic series, the reveal of the Big Bad will be a real "Oh SHIT!" moment. But those who haven't will be scratching their heads a bit, because "Pyramids of Mars" was a very long time ago.

Yes. After being subtle through the first half of the season, the last couple episodes have deliberately drawn a lot more attention to it. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the Doctor and the bounty hunter. I wouldn't mind if he ends up recurring like Jack Harkness did back in the day. On...

Rest in Peace William Russell, who has the distinction of having the longest range between first (1963) and last (2022) "Who" appearances.

I thought they still managed to avoid a Doctor-lite episode though. Even though the story was told from the guest star's point of view, the Doctor still had quite a bit of screen time. I'm sure shooting the vast majority of his scenes from a static camera with a flat background allowed them to...

The ending of this one made the episode for me.

I'm used to watching new "Who" on Spectrum's crappy, overly compressed BBC America cable feed taking 25 progressive frames and turning them into 60 interlaced fields, so the quality of the Disney+ streams is incredibly robust by comparison. I believe they are different parts and maybe different...

This week's episode is probably second only to "Blink" among my favorite Doctor-lite episodes. A terrific showcase for Millie Gibson, as we really get to know Ruby for the first time and she what she's made of. And the Welsh horror was definitely creepy. The concept reminded me a bit of It...

So glad to see Moffat back contributing one offs under RTD. Without the weight of the franchise on his shoulders, he can do what he does best. I'm assuming that Varada Sethu's character in this episode is the same one she'll be playing as the Doctor's companion next season. If so, interesting...

I'm still not sure how I feel about the introduction of fantasy elements since the Toymaker, but one thing I really liked about the first two episodes is that they had genuinely creepy moments. As camp as the Maestro was, that's a villain what would have given me nightmares as a little kid. Same...

Contradicting rumors that Millie Gibson had been dumped after one season, the BBC today confirmed that the Fifteenth Doctor will have two companions for the upcoming second season:

Second Trailer:

Russell T. Davies has returned as showrunner; he left in 2010 when David Tennant did the first time. The three Fourteenth Doctor specials are the first things he's written for the main "Doctor Who" series since. The BBC is treating "Doctor Who" as three separate series with a shared continuity...

Official trailer for the Fifteenth Doctor's first run: The new run of “Doctor Who” begins streaming simultaneously: British Summer Time: Saturday, May 11 just after midnight on BBC One/iPlayer. Eastern Daylight Time: Friday, May 10 at 7:00 p.m. on Disney+. Pacific Daylight Time: Friday, May 10...

The Mirror is reporting that Millie Gibson is departing the show three episodes into the second season of the Fifteenth Doctor's run, with "Andor" actress Varada Seethu taking over as the new companion. It's a tabloid, so take it with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, the Radio Times has a photoshoot...

Definitely the coolest trailer for a disc release I've seen in quite some time.

The BBC's teaser trailer for the upcoming season: Behind the scenes on the Christmas special:

I'm already really enjoying this pairing. The Fifteenth Doctor already feels very much like the Doctor, but without the baggage of Fourteen and prior, he feels younger, more like the space tourist of the classic series. He's warm and admiring of humanity at its best, but sometimes his curiosity...

I don't think I realized how many Big Finish audio productions John Hurt recorded as the War Doctor before his passing; four multi-part serials.

BBC promo for the Christmas Special:

But given that Disney+ put the character's name in the description of the special, unavoidable... Indeed it was! And appropriately enough felt like the climax of the trilogy. It's a shame that Bernard Cribbins wasn't able to film his scenes for this special; but given how close to death he was...

The title of that video is a pretty big spoiler for classic "Who" fans, especially circa the William Hartnell era.

Story-wise, this felt like a bit of a retread of "The Rebel Flesh", from the Eleventh Doctor era. But there's perhaps an apt metaphor here, since the Fourteenth Doctor is an imperfect doppelganger of the Tenth Doctor. Doctor/Donna is one the great pairings, and it's even richer now with all of...

Really enjoyed it too. One advantage to having an old face return is that there isn't that rough transition that comes with being an entirely new iteration. The Doctor knows how to be that version of himself, so he can just dive right in and get on with things. The episode was a little preachy...

Release dates for the three David Tennant specials:

While it does seem wrong for new episodes not to debut on BBC America, the upside is that we don't have to deal with Disney+ editing the episodes down to fit in more commercials the way BBC America did (at least after the first airing).

Filming on the first series for the Fifteenth Doctor has wrapped:
