A catch up on more bits of info on the new season from this month...
The first serious 'leak' of a possible storyline: http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-who/news/a849764/doctor-who-series-11-rosa-parks/ (This is the episode 2 or 3 apparently and features the South Africian filming carried out at the start of the year.)
Keeping up with the new broom approach a new special effects team have been assigned: https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/bbc/double-negative-lands-doctor-who-vfx/5126684.article (Production personelle that are returning: "Mark Hutchings, Andy Pryor, Mark Mcquoid, Deian Humphreys, Sandra Cosfeld, Danny Hargreaves, Neill Gorton, Kate Walshe, Mayor, Jo Pearce, James DeHaviland, Steffan Morris, Nikki Wilson, and Tracy Wilson" according to this tweet.)
The director of Twice Upon a Time stated at Gallifrey One that the TARDIS was ejecting the new doctor at the end of the episode as it was tramatised by the regeneration. (Interesting given that the Moffat era established that the TARDIS presents a female persona with much affection for the doctor.)
October to December airdates revealed: http://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/doctor-who-season-11-october-airdate/
The season will be strong on "family": http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2018-02-22/family-is-a-key-watchword-for-the-chris-chibnall-era-of-doctor-who/

New season news round-up:
Who continues to correct a discrepancy from earlier in the decade - there'll be "a number" of female writers on series 11: http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-who/news/a851111/doctor-who-series-11-writers/

Spoiler: Whittaker doesn't lose her TARDIS for long. The new exterior gets papped on location for the first time as the filming moves to Monmouth: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5449351/Doctor-filming-shows-brand-new-TARDIS.html

Spoilers!
Who wants a greater educational emphasis brought back to Doctor Who?
Chibnall does apparently: https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/square-eyes-doctor-who-revisit-12181095 Walsh's character as the new Ian Chesterton eh? 
Besides the Parks story it looks as if this series may have something to say about India under the Empire too.Note also the break down of time periods for the S11 stories. If the Mirror is right, there still doesn't seem to be the money to get away from a dominance of contempary Earth stories.

I totally trust that the attitude to history will remain much the same as it has been for the last 13 years, i.e. do me a favour.
Every "foreign filming" story just makes you ask "did they really have to go to Sith Efrica to imitate 50s USA? Or did they just want a cheap holiday?" (cf. that season they went to Bosnia or somewhere to do the Van Gogh story. Croatia, that was it)
RE: Dr Who - M-L-L - 17-03-2018 09:26
For anyone willing to contribute to their coffers by buying something again....... I see there's a new "Special Edition" of the Patrick Troughton "Enemy Of The World" story being released soon.....

Well I don't really have a problem with that. If every story was set in present day London, or some cheap looking space station set, it would soon get old.
I don't imagine it would be much cheaper to recreate those sort of locations on an outdoor film lot either (assuming they only fly out the actors and a few production staff, and use local film crews)

I don't mind location filming, but not when it's so blatantly for the services of the film crew rather than the story. That one that RTD did with a double decker bus in Dubai was a giveaway (and beautifully met with karma when they broke the bus and had to fix the script accordingly).

It's such an old trick but it does work unfortunately.Btw, Philip Morris who found the episodes was supposed to do a fantom event signing copies of it but he's pulled out (for a second appearance running). He seems to have a little problem at the thought of meeting the wrong fans these days perhaps?!
(See accusations of him stiring unfounded long standing rumours of finding more missing ep's.)----
But back to the series 11 spoilers:
Alan Cumming (outta GoldenEye) has dropped a clanger in admitting he's playing King James I on the show: http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-who/news/a851940/doctor-who-alan-cumming-sorry-for-spoiling-casting/ This looks likely to be the other historical set episode then and fits with the Jacobean settings (early 1600s) of the location filming in Gosport that I posted about upthread.
Another tidbit I missed earlier this year: The S11 premier is to get a cinema screening (presumably around September) prior to its initial screening on TV. http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/doctor-who/news/a848365/doctor-who-series-11-jodie-whittaker-first-episode-win-tickets/

John Levene, who played Sgt Benton in the original series, and lives in Salisbury, has made a film about the latter:

Linked here becoz Levene only matters in this thread, and not in a more serious one.
