Well, this was posted *after* mid-day, but it *could* have been taken from another site where it was posted *before* mid-day

Time will tell, but I am skeptical*

* in-joke for those who used to read Kerrang magazine

Maybe, but you know what a jovial japester that Mickey Mouse is...

Honestly it was my first thought when they announced that they were bringing David Tennant back that they would do a spinoff with him (that and also proof how desperate they were getting for ratings)

April Fool, no doubt.

The Witchfinders was easily the best story from that first season with The Woman who Fell to Earth second and Kerblam! and Arachnids in the UK a distance behind in joint third. The rest i have no desire to see again. All four would be seen as run of the mill stories in most series between 2005-17.
