The Doctor Who Thread

*Possible* transmission date for the start of the new series

Why is it possible? That's the official Who account logo.

Must admit i think it's fake. The next DWM has a 28 page series preview with it, out next week, if December were the date then why not do that in the November issue.

Because the November issue will be featuring the 58th anniversary of the first transmission of 'An Unearthly Child'!

If you say so.

A 28 page supplement, which is what the series preview is, won't matter what's in the regular mag.

Excellent. More June Hudson on Behind the Sofa. She's brilliant!

Really can't be bothered with more Shada. What a borefest.

They filmed the first episode there. The Sontaran spaceship is basically a massive advert / attraction and is projected there until Sunday.

Filming is actually taking place in Cardiff. That's a shock!

Yay! We knew it was coming, but still. Love season 17. Shada's parallel only with Talons as my favourite story ever.
