Liked the jelly baby bit.

Not sure on the new/old Doctor - hope there's more to it than first appears and TBH I was hoping for a female conversion this time.

Female agenda was all over it. Plenty of hints. We're getting a female Who I'm sure. I doubt the show will last another season though with a female Doctor and Chibnall running it, but just my opinion.

First Doc in xmas episode was announced a while back. David Bradley did a great job in the docudrama "An Adventure in Space and Time", although arguably he was great at portraying William Hartnell the actor. How he'll work as The Doctor is to be seen. It won't be anything like Hartnell's Doctor though, but if you can see past that it should be enjoyable. Not sure on dragging out the regeneration over such a long time. Was bad enough with Tennant's long goodbye before he regenerated.

Well, announced maybe not the right word. Rumoured, and then Radio Times did a piece on it, effectively confirming it. Wish I hadn't read it really as would have been a bigger surprise, although I didn't expect him to be in the end of this episode though.

Heh

I intentionally avoided the [i]Next Week[/i] stuff at the end of the penultimate episode so as to avoid any possible spoilers.

Missy - best character on there I reckon.

And brilliant acting by Michelle Gomez.

Ooh. Source?

We're getting a female Who I'm sure.

Famous last words but I very much doubt it, simply because of Missy. If they hadn't done that then I'd agree, but gender-swapping the Master and the Doctor on the bounce seems unlikely. The [i]next[/i] Doctor, maybe.

Trailer on BBC1, so fairly reliable I imagine...

On the other hand having had female villain and male hero, it might make sense to swap both so still a gender mix.

But I was thinking that if the reveal was going to be held back for the episode for a change (would be a first), then they'd definitely be going for the shock reveal of a woman. Revealing it now then I think it's less likely.

Though chances of holding it out until Christmas is just about absolutely zero. Only if they haven't shot anything of the regeneration until the day before (or even do it live!) could they just about manage it.

Hope the bookies are wrong. Can't see him having the darker side to pull the role off.

... which is where Matt Smith fell down in my eyes.

Though I'll shove this out there - the next Peter Davison maybe? No darkness but could have gravitas when required.

Al Pacino!?!?

How the hell did they pull that one off?
Bit of a coup for the BBC.....

I liked Capaldi - gone too soon IMHO,

He seemed to be just getting better & better.
