It's weird, I say Miriam Margolyes is one of my favourite actors, but I can only name about four things from where I know her and one of them is a radio drama!

The third ep was the best out of the three of the specials but there were some moments I was like what the hell is going on such as the spice up your life scene....but Neil was brilliant as the toymaker and those puppets/dolls were creepy AF.

The new doctor....I'm already really liking!! David will always be my favourite and I wish he didn't get such a boring ending stuck with Donna for the rest of his life...poor sod....but yeah I'm excited for the future of the show as that third special had some brilliant moments

third special was phenomenal


also
Spoiler:

keeping David's Doctor around is also pretty useful should they want to go with more of these specials honestly since he still has a Tardis as well rather than saying goodbye to his doctor and him transitioning into Ncuti Gatwa's doctor as the sole doctor, very nice plot twist

I'm a bit baffled by the plan so far - they did a whole big thing about how he needed to just stay put for a while to get his bearings... but, he kept the Tardis and at the end it's mentioned he's already whizzed people off to New York and... err... Mars. Maybe the idea is just that he won't get involved in any drama?

However...

...they made a whole big deal about how he hasn't stopped since he took off in the Tardis.

...Except it isn't true. He did it TWICE as the 12th Doctor (Capaldi). He spent 24 years on Darillium with River Song, and he spent several decades in Bristol as a University professor guarding Missy's prison. In the second case, you could argue that he was technically "on the clock" guarding The Master, but it seems that not much happened at all in those decades. He was pretty settled teaching at the University. Though I guess he was more or less alone. Still even if you discount that one - with River Song he presumably spent 24 years drinking wine and having Netflix and Chill with his wife? How long is he going to be with Donna on Earth that's longer.

RTD retconning IMO. I don't mind it, necessarily, but it would have been easily enough avoided as a plot hole if they'd just quoted the things that have happened post-River Song (including her death).

gonna watch the xmas special back bit later on before going to bed i guess on Disney

@Soldier Boy

Spoiler:


maybe he won't get involved in any of the main series drama anymore okay, but having him as well to live his life, with his own Tardis now with Donna, Rose, makes me think he could return with them for some specials to come

Loved all the specials as well.

The new Dr.Who
was so predictable.

No one getting hurt.

Disney - BBC
now over doing the music backing,
no need.


Pathetic start to a New Doctor.


Also, the new Sonic screwdriver
is now like a Phaser from Star Trek?

This is fairly typical of the Christmas episodes in general though. They're not going to have a dark episode for the Christmas special .

Spoiler I guess?

Spoiler:

We do EVENTUALLY find out that Victorian Clara was just a Clara variant scattered throughout the Doctor's past at a later date. Was she technically a real individual in her own right? I suppose that's a bit of a moral quandary...

Oh no...

Spoiler:

"Uhh that was technically just a Clara copy not the original Clara."
"WELL THAT'S ALRIGHT THEN!"

I've fallen for The Doctor's justifications
