The closest we got was Ten not quite regenerating a year early. For a week, we were wondering if they’d actually done it - I guessed not as I’d seen press coverage of filming The Next Doctor, but it was fun to speculate.

Regeneration surprises
For obvious reasons I was thinking about regeneration episodes, and how the last time one surprised me was Four to Five, when I was six. These days they’re hyped up immensely. Or spoiled by newspapers, like Nine leaving so early.
The Power Of The Doctor
The Power Of The Doctor
Bits of it worked great for me. Other bits didn’t.
Siberia, early 20th century. Are we doing Tunguska? Oh, apparently not. That was 1908.
So the Master with a Rasputin look is actually doing Rasputin...
Has Doctor Who never done a Rasputin episode? Apparently not. Nearly during the Capaldi run. And apparently the Boney M joke was in that script.
Sacha Dhawan playing the adviser to another Russian monarch is an odd but of typecasting.

The trailer of The Power Of The Doctor
Two weeks and a day ahead, the trailer of The Power Of The Doctor is now on the computer via the site of the Times of the Radio and I’ll stop now.
Sunday the 23rd.
All the monsters.
Love the regenerating flame logo.

Inside Man
Inside Man, Steven Moffat’s new miniseries starring David Tennant, starts tonight. Sounds dark. Doesn’t have any spaceships so I’ve hardly seen anybody talking about it.

Blink at 15
Happy 15th anniversary to Blink, birthplace of the Weeping Angels, and a great episode to introduce new viewers... sometimes, because they might want the Sparrow and Nightingale series instead.

Ncuti Gatwa is the Doctor!
Ncuti Gatwa is the Doctor! One of the stars of Sex Education, interviewed here for it. And here for Doctor Who!
“It was our last audition. It was our very last one. We thought we had someone, and then in he came and stole it. I’m properly, properly thrilled. It’s going to be a blazing future.”
Russell T Davies
“There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same.”
Ncuti Gatwa, talking to the BBC
A perfect demonstration from a Sex Education clip.

The Centenary Special
Tonight we ended with a trailer for the next special, coming in... probably October or thereabouts for the BBC centenary... will be the Thirteenth Doctor’s bow.
Legend Of The Sea Devils
Some sword fighting!
Rather more technobabble.
I like the Doctor trying to let Yaz down gently, but I’m also aware guy Doctors never did that with straight companion crushes.
Nice of the Sea Devil leader to leave his translator on when talking to his crew with no humans around. :D Cool coat though!
