24 hours to go until the finale and this 'game changer'.

I'm dreading whatever it is. Hopefully not something stupid, as I suggested above.

The JW Doctor proves to be a projection which is switched off, and Bradley Walsh is revealed to be the Doctor. Ryan gets shot and killed by a Cyberman and we all weep buckets (of joy!), and The Doctor and Yaz set off for a new series of adventures next season, as we realise that being a police officer she's quite brave and compassionate with great organisational skills.

The scripts are all newly discovered stories written but never made by Terrance Dicks, Robert Holmes and Chris Boucher. After the titles finish they advertise the next special back on Christmas day with the Daleks written by Terry Nation.

And then I woke up this morning. It was all a dream!! Just as I want the last two series to be.....

Four hours to go.

Don't forget that it starts earlier, at 6:50pm, and it's 70 minutes long.

My thoughts on the finale.

Well, it happened: multiple pre-Hartnell Doctors. This is too big a change to the series for me. They used the 'Morbius' Doctors clip from the Brain Of Morbius during that sequence with Jodie's Doctor. Those 'Morbius' Doctors included producer Philip Hinchliffe and director Douglas Camfield - an in-joke by the production team. So a major change to the series has been made based on an in-joke. Right.

That aside, the episode was OK I guess. Ian McElhinney as Ko Sharmus was by far the best performance in it. A shame his character won't be coming back. All the sets looked pretty good. The 'fam' were unfortunately sidelined again. And what happened to the human survivors of the Cyberwar who escaped through the time barrier? That plot point was conveniently forgotten.

I remember from Doctor Who Weekly (or was it Monthly?) in the 1980s the fan theory about the Morbius Doctors was that the Doctor was trying to mislead him with false images.

Yep, it's a dog isn't it? A lousy hackwork.

Someone else said it best regarding the recent trends in Hollywood and the BBC-
"It's cultural vandalism".

Due to the current pandemic, fans arranged a Day Of The Doctor rewatch at 7pm last night. Even Steven Moffat got involved, writing this new scene, filmed remotely with a familiar character:



There will be a rewatch of Rose on 26th March. Just as Moffat live tweeted last night, RTD will be joining Twitter to do the same.

Well, it's funnier and shorter than any of the garbage coming out of the production office since Moff left that's for sure. That's the thing isn't it? When he and RTD were good, they could be good and at least sometimes funny. The Chinball man is just DIRE!

On a happier note, here are the other two scenes recently made for watchalongs The Eleventh Hour and The Doctor's Wife.

First, Caitlin Blackwood (written by Moffat)



And here's Arthur Darvill (plus a cameo). Written by Neil Gaiman.

Following the watchalong of Heaven Sent a few days ago, the next one is The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, tonight. RTD, Tennant, Agyeman, Tate and Barrowman will all be live tweeting it. A short scene titled 'Farewell Sarah Jane' has also been made, premiering at 5pm. God knows who will be in that one. The grown up children perhaps?

I finished re-watching Series 5. Most of the episodes were excellent. At least entertaining thanks to the charismatic characters and chemistry of the cast. The Pandorica Opens and Big Bang final are freaking brilliant television.

I know that I'm in the minority here but I absolutely loved the Eccleston - Smith era of Doctor Who. This was helped by Murray Gold being at the top of his game. His theme for Matt Smith's Doctor is right up there with my favourite TV themes.

I liked - but didn't warm to - the Capaldi Doctor, although there were some really good episodes in his reign as the Doctor.

I only watched one episode of Jodi's run. Maybe not enough to give it a fair go...but I just didn't like what I saw. It was like watching someone who had heard of Doctor Who but had no idea about what made it great.

I'm basically a "new Who" fan. As an American I didn't grow up on the original series. I was aware of the series and saw some Tom Bakers stuff. I didn't like Eccelston or Rose that much. Watched a few episodes then checked out. Tennant series was showing on Sci Fi channel and that drew me in. Loved Tennant as the Doctor, Martha was okay, loved Donna Noble. I didn't think they could top him really, but yeah I love Matt Smiths Doctor and Karen as Amy. Hell, even love Rory after awhile. His character really matured. I thought Capaldi was all wrong for the part, and the latest lady Doctor is dreadful. Murray Gold music is some of the best ever composed for the small screen (or big screen)

Here's the episode, written by RTD, tying in with The Stolen Earth/Journey's End:



And here are two new episodes written by Paul Cornell, tying in with Human Nature/Family Of Blood. One read by Lisa Bowerman as Bernice Summerfield, and the other read by the original actor who played the little girl with the balloon - Lauren Wilson, reprising her role. The first is an attempt to work both versions of this story into continuity. The second has 13 encountering the little girl once more.





And a prequel for Dalek:



And a new episode from Stephen Moffat read by Sophia Myles, reprising her role as Madame Pompadour to tie in with The Girl In The Fireplace:



And here's a message from 96 year old Laurie Webb (Arthur Ollis) for tonight's watchalong of The Three Doctors:

Here's the latest one, a tie-in to the Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion. Ingrid Oliver reprises her role as Osgood. Two Osgoods.
