The Doctor and Ruby - the Lewk

The Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday.



Ruby’s mot that different from Millie Gibson’s out of character intro look, but Ncuti Gatwa’s is a lot more different than the keyhole shirtless suit he was rocking at the BAFTAs.

Children In Need

Children In Need has been very good to Doctor Who, and vice versa, over the years. Hence my seriesful post.

Millie Gibson is Ruby Sunday!

“I am beyond honoured to be cast as the Doctor’s companion. It is a gift of a role, and a dream come true, and I will do everything to try and fill the boots the fellow companions have travelled in before me.”
Millie Gibson, after introducing new companion Ruby Sunday on BBC Children In Need tonight

“As a Coronation Street fan, I’ve seen Millie survive chases, guns and sieges, but that’s nothing compared to what lies ahead for Ruby Sunday!”

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 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.

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.
