I'll be very happy. I mean honestly much as I want Marco Polo back I'd still be happy if turns out they ditched Chibnall, maybe Series 12 (and Jodie) would have a decent chance?

Perhaps Chibnall's found Marco Polo?

Well?

6pm in the UK or the US?

Information via twitter, facebook, Doctor Who News, BBC News?

I think more info is needed!

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

Castrovalva – Part 1

The Doctor: Adric! (A full cheval mirror with descant recorder on the top, and a hat stand with panama, green Wellington boots and light beige coat with red trim on a hangar. The Doctor gazes at his new features.) That's the trouble with regeneration. You never quite know what you're going to get. (He tries playing the recorder, but blows too hard. It squeaks.) No (Then he finds a cricket bat by the hat stand.) Ah! Dear me. Needs a drop of linseed oil though.
(The Doctor turns and spots a white door nearby. He opens it to reveal a changing room, complete with cricket bats in a rack, shields on the wall, a notice board and some whites scattered on a bench and hamper. The Doctor goes inside and closes the door.)

Castrovalva – Part 2

The Doctor: This will be simpler, of course, if you go into hover mode first, always remembering of course not to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow. The whole system is on manual now. This is where it starts to get really dangerous.

Castrovalva – Part 3

Shardovan: The garments with which we stir our courage to the hunt, sir, are relics of our ancestors, a smaller breed of men who, as I believe wore, down their stature with too much hunting. You will notice I am tall.
The Doctor: I suppose that's why they made you librarian.
Shardovan: Hmm?
The Doctor: Reaching down the books from the top shelf.
(They laugh.)
Mergrave: The stranger is recovering his wits. A mild medicament, distilled from herbs.
The Doctor: You're a doctor?
Mergrave: A master of physic, yes.
The Doctor: Not the Doctor, I suppose? I came here to find him, I think.

Castrovalva – Part 4

Nyssa: It's gone. Gone forever.
Adric: And the Master?
The Doctor: Let's hope so. (They jog towards the Tardis.) One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two. All right, rest. Deep breaths. Well done, Adric.
Tegan: Why couldn't we just walk?
The Doctor: Got to be fit to crew the Tardis. Trim Time Ship and a ship-shape team. (He fastens a piece of celery to his lapel, then sees the top of the Tardis down the slope.) Who landed this?
Tegan: I did, Doctor.
The Doctor: You flew the Tardis?
Tegan: I followed the instructions in the computer.
The Doctor: There aren't any.
Tegan: But
The Doctor: It was a projection.
Nyssa: As Adric was, in the Zero Room.
Tegan: So I didn't fly it?
The Doctor: Adric pre-programmed it. Whatever you did to the console, we'd have ended up at Castrovalva.
Tegan: Oh, how disappointing.
The Doctor: The Master leaves nothing to chance. (They walk down the slope.) Adric?
(Adric starts to climb to the Tardis doors.)
Nyssa: Are you sure you're up to flying the Tardis?
The Doctor: Oh, I think so. In fact, I feel quite like my old self. Well
Tegan: Yes?
The Doctor: Well, whoever I feel like, it's absolutely splendid. Let's go.

Not even worth posting in my opinion.

The Eternal Dalek, part of the new Dalek Paradigm, as seen in Victory of the Daleks (2010)

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

In the latest edition of Empire magazine, Peter Jackson talks about Doctor Who and especially The Web of Fear.

He says in regard to his involvement in the show when Steven Moffat was show runner.

Some of the Dalek stories in recent years were cool. I haven't had any Doctor Who conversations in some time. That moment has perhaps passed me by. I would have done it but it was at the time we were making The Hobbit and i didn't have the time.

Going back four years this video teased what we all thought would be a Jackson directed episode or episodes.



I don't think Chris Chibnall has the same gravitas as Moffat when it comes to attracting 'names'.

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes

Four To Doomsay – Part 1

Nyssa: He told us to stay here.
Tegan: Well, perhaps he's in trouble.
Adric: Oh, he's always in trouble, Tegan, or haven't you noticed? It amuses him.
Tegan: Well, it doesn't amuse me. He promised to get me back to Heathrow. He'll lose me my job.
Adric: No, he won't. Be patient.
Tegan: Patient? After all I've been through since I came through that door? My aunt reduced to so long. You must be joking.
Adric: Look, we're fifth dimensional in this thing. He'll get you on your flight if he's out there a week.
Tegan: And what do we do in the meantime?
Adric: You could always read.
Tegan: Read?
Adric: Yes. There's a fascinating book on maths through there by a chap called Burt Russell.
Tegan: Maths?
Adric: That's the trouble with women. Mindless, impatient and bossy.
Tegan: You chauvinist. I heard that.
Adric: You were meant to.
Nyssa: I heard it too. You mean this? (Holds up the aforementioned book) Mindless.
Adric: Well, yes, but you're not a woman.
Nyssa: I'm not?
Adric: No. You're only a girl.

Four To Doomsday – Part 2

Monarch: This Doctor interests me more and more. On no account is he to leave. (The Doctor puts his hat over the monopticon's eye. Then he puts away the screwdriver and takes out another pen-like device.) And now he's blocked out the sound. Here we have a lively intelligence. He could make a valuable ally.
Persuasion: Or a dangerous enemy, your Majesty.
Enlightenment: He is too jocular, irresponsible. Such a being prefers mental anarchy. They call it freedom.
Monarch: What nonsense, the pair of you. I have eliminated the concept of opposition.
Persuasion: I was thinking of Bigon, your Majesty.
Monarch: Bigon cannot oppose.
Persuasion: But he does not conform.
Monarch: Well, of course. He's a philosopher, a doubter. We need doubt. It's the greatest intellectual galvaniser.
Enlightenment: With respect, your Majesty, there is a sensitivity in his persona which suggests what in the flesh time was called soul.
Monarch: It's the first time, Enlightenment, I've heard you blaspheme.
Enlightenment: I beg your Majesty's pardon.
Monarch: I should think so

Four To Doomsday – Part 3

Bigon: We have been made immortal.
The Doctor: So it would seem. As long as you have spare parts you could go on forever. (The Doctor is tossing a cricket ball in his left hand.) All you need is the raw materials.
Bigon: The reason for Monarch's invasion of Earth. The visits established its suitability.
The Doctor: Of course! That's it, he's after the silicon.
Tegan: What?
The Doctor: One of the biggest components of the Earth's crust is silicon. All the chips he wants.
Bigon: And the fossilisation.
The Doctor: Oh yes, carbon too.
Bigon: First he intends to replace the population of Earth with his own.
Tegan: What, three billion people?
Bigon: He can do it. The landing will be peaceful. He has prepared a message of peace and will offer them the help of his advanced alien intelligence. That is why he will want your help. To convince the people of Earth that he means them no harm.
Tegan: He'll get no help from me.
Bigon: Don't be too sure. In the Mobiliary there is a deadly poison. The deadliest in the known universe. The Urbankans secreted it in a gland. It causes organic matter to shrink in on itself. One trillionth of a gram would reduce you to the size of a grain of salt. With this he will conquer Earth.

Four To Doomsday – Part 4

Monarch: Ah, Doctor. Your machine is reluctant to break free from mine.
The Doctor: I can't think why.
Monarch: A more considerate guest than you, perhaps.
The Doctor: Oh, is it usual for a host to kill a guest?
Monarch: Oh, in certain rarified circles, but your life is forfeit because you were plotting against me.
Adric: Doctor?
The Doctor: My actions were motivated by scientific curiosity.
Monarch: Not as they were reported to me.
The Doctor: Reports can be garbled, your Majesty.
Monarch: Not this time. Was it scientific curiosity which caused you to interfere with my monopticons?
The Doctor: I wouldn't dream of interfering with your monopticons.
Monarch: Enough of these recriminations. I propose to show my moral superiority by sparing your life. I'm not, as you would have others believe, a wanton destroyer, but I must protect myself and my mission. Now the girl Nyssa will be held hostage. If you're restrained, you'll come to no harm. Beware you're not the cause of her destruction. Take her to Lin Futu. Let him sedate her and await my orders.
