Dr Who

Need to post this pronto. Make sure you get to watch it before it disappears...

Short clip of the Doc from ep.1 'leaked': https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/files-2...3.TRIM.mp4
(Link to upload posted by the Ginger Cat on Planet Mondas forum.)
Not sure what to make of it myself. Except to say Whittaker seems to be overacting. Maybe it can be put down to the Doc being particularly weird post regeneration. I hope she settles down as she seems to be doing an impression of Habib on The Thin Blue Line!

Still images of Whittaker's sonic from the same episode too: https://royaltydoctorwho.tumblr.com/post/175243891941
(Meaning that someone unauthorised has the entire episode?)

Report on filming before and after the Spain shoot including an expansive Welsh Quarry shoot. Apparently for a "hostage situation": http://doctorwhoproductionnews.blogspot....again.html (Could this be part of the Sontarans' scheme or something from some certain pepper pots perhaps?)
[References to "July" in the article appear to be in error and should read June?]

His "fresh take on the legendary theme tune"... will that conform to Chibnall's "radical" direction I wonder?

The S11 panel at San Diego Comic Con (taking place ca.July 22nd) that was recently announced will reportedly include a screening of the full first episode: https://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/tvf...72776.html
Great isn't it we fund it and a bunch of yanks get to see it months early.
I wonder how little they can get away with revealling at this appearance?

A BBC source gave a slightly strange response to fans complaining about footage being seen first in the U.S. ...

Quote:They’re making assumptions. They are certain that clips will be shown at Comic Con and be the first chance to see the new series but not all of that is necessarily true.

... So is that just confirming it'll be more than clips or are the beeb once again lining up an even earlier cinema screening of the ep for select UK viewers perhaps? The Mens Wimbledon Final might again offer the opportunity for showing a trailer too?

It won't be as good as this version:



Or the Muse one, for that matter

Still, it's not Murray Gold, so yay!

The beeb are hunting for the original source of the leak, that posted the unfinished S11 footage and pics, via the U.S. courts:

A date has been confirmed for the Who panel at San Diego Comic Con. Thursday 19th July should bring some snippets of news from across the pond: https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-...-revealed/ (Whittaker at least will be there through Saturday 21st as she has also been announced as participant in another panel.)

S10 director Wayne Yip was spotted at Who's Roath Lock studios in mid-June. At first it didn't come out why he was there. But at the beginning of this month two and two was put together thanks to an editor's online resume:

So it looks almost certain there WILL be an extra episode at Christmas again this year and pre-production under Yip has already begun. In fact the production schedule for the episode MAY tie in with that of this seven week job offer that did the rounds last month:

Does filming proper begin once everyone is back from America?

The new Doctor Who makes it to the cover of EW:

^ Yes the preview for this edition features the minute exclusive that the UK and US season premiere will be simulcast: http://ew.com/tv/2018/07/12/doctor-who-j...-ew-cover/
Whittaker says the major series theme will be "Hope" and that it'll be dramatic and "fizzing with wonder". Also her doc will be full of Matt Smith-like energy:

A series teaser WILL go out at half-time in World Cup final (that's around 4.50pm this Sunday):

Apparently the agent involved has changed the resume page linked in my earlier post. Here's an archive version of the page for those still curious: https://web.archive.org/web/201807061515...mcdonnell/

It looks like the Xmas special was filming by the 12th of this month: https://www.reddit.com/r/doctorwho/comme...eet_today/

Oh, that's original

If it's at all like last year, it'll seem like an unwanted interruption in the middle of a sporting event that didn't need or want it. Great joined-up thinking there, BBC

^ It's so when everyone goes "Fucking hell, I'd hoped for better than that" at the end of the season, she can say "There I told you so."

In truth these pre-season interviews are, by necessity almost, as bland as anything.

Old series fans should note that Colin Baker is part of "Celebrity 5 Go Caravanning" on Friday nights.

Peter Davison, on the other hand, is making some different friends altogether:




Now, if the Nu Series clip is this good, then that would change everything...

think i'll just leave this here...…
