they want to give even more people a reason not to like it now,

Got a bit of catching up to do on my usual type stuff...

(As he's been quoted as saying episode two is the companions' first proper adventure with the doctor I wonder if this list is one thing from each episode of the fours' travels?)

^That's been the intrepretation put on it and it may be the case. What he actually said was more that they wouldn't be in their usual place. Make of that what you will.
The info itself came from this month's DWM (that hits early for subscribers): https://www.reddit.com/r/doctorwho/comme..._sequence/
I suppose it's reasoned that episode one is a sort of prologue about how the four come together. Leaving the theme and titles until the following week gives people yet another reason to tune in maybe.

Filming for S12 is unlikely to start, with Tosin Cole at least, before the latter half of November as she's in a play until the 24th: https://royalcourttheatre.com/casting-an...d-ear-eye/

Two more new pics (from DWM again): https://twitter.com/jodiesource/status/1...6400609280
...Also notes on the last word filmed (aside that is from in the Children in Need special which was shot on Aug. 7th) and yet more on the first two episodes: https://www.reddit.com/r/gallifrey/comme...ew_doctor/
It sounds to me like Sheffield locales with be a base to both ground the season and for it to springboard from - in much the same way as RTD used Rose's estate.

The new trailer is better without the pop soundtrack: https://twitter.com/ABCTV/status/1042745191206084608
The fact that Aussie TV can remove that element suggests the music is not part of the show.
All I say on the new promo is that one thing we always knew about this season was that it would be visually splendorous. This trailer confirms that in spades. I so welcome the apparent return to universe trotting wonder too. However, we still have seen so little of the absolutely crucial detail of how Whittaker is playing the doctor. The jury still has to be out on that one as yet.

Pick-ups and reshoots being shot atm - possibly for the post season special: https://twitter.com/galacticgay_/status/...5838662656

And we have an airtime people! Only once again the beeb can't be bothered to make sure they tell the people they have supposedly made the show for first. 2pm EDT is a 7pm simulcast for the UK: https://twitter.com/DoctorDisco28/status...7392660480

Well, I'm looking forward to it now. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.

At the end of the day, Jodie is a competent actor and, if the stories are good, and the scriptwriting is good, it won't matter a shit that she's a woman.

Dr Who start time on 7th October now confirmed
