I'm with you, esp on DMP. If it's true

I wonder if they will recreate that finally.

Seems RTD is leaning into the political, and good for him:

 

Seems to be some debate whether it's set in 2024 or 2046.

Considering how much I disliked The Long Game, not sure how I feel about more RTD politics. 

[Vee]

I think it's likely more in the vein of his work on Years and Years or the better parts of the Saxon arc. I think now is the time to be bold, especially given the state of the UK.

I was maybe the only one who liked Moffat's revamped bright Technicolor Daleks that riffed on this and the Peter Cushing films. I am so bored of the gray and black and bronze Daleks. At least the camp Daleks appeared on and off in small clusters all the way through Capaldi's run.

In honor of this rumor, it's time (not the first and probably not the last time) to repost this from either 2016 or 2017, when Capaldi surprised children at the Doctor Who Experience and took questions in character apparently entirely improvised. One of them, at 2:30, led to him bringing up Susan.

Speculation abounds:

I've heard another theory though: That he is the son of Harold and Lucy Saxon.

[Vee]

This is great.

 

Meanwhile, I should've known who was behind these amazing, legendary ads: @DRW50

Clever Prime.

[DRW50]

Thanks. I never knew that. Even with whatever happened with Lalla and Tom, those ads are adorable.
