I'm sure they'll eventually release it elsewhere. They won't want to miss out on making extra money from the rest of us.

But, yeah, i totally agree.

Yeah.....

Well I'm still waiting for the all new CGI effects version of Silver Nemesis iank.

Do you ever think we'll see that day arrive?

Never.

I've got more chance of the winged creature in "Kill the Moon" landing a BIG EGG on my Cornish bungalow than the BBC ever doing justice to Silver Nemesis.

And the same applies. Whittaker looks like she'd make an ideal new incarnation of Romana in a spin-off show... but so far I just can't stop myself giggling at the idea of her being the Doctor. It just seems so forced and... silly.

I won't be watching Dr Who anymore, that's for certain. I'll be happy with this year's Christmas Special, and that's it. 1 to 12. I'll blank the regeneration scene out or just switch the TV off. My prediction will be that the new series will have solid ratings for the first couple of ep's, but it will steadily go down hill.

Hope it sinks without trace, and gets the chainsaw massacre treatment from the viewers in the ratings.

Composer Dudley Simpson has died aged 95. Simpson was a composer on Who in the 60s and 70s and ultimately composed the score for as many as 290 individual episodes. RIP.

To be honest i've always thought them a bit rubbish. Never been sure why Jo was so frightened of them.
