The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire Flight Through Entirety

Five episodes in and it’s the start (again) of a new season and a new era of Doctor Who. So how will these five grizzled veterans of the Time Wars cope with a space station full of babies and the concept of music itself in a lavish new non-binary form?

It’s Christmas, and it’s time for a simple swashbuckling adventure in which the new Doctor and his new friend Ruby rescue a baby from being eaten by goblins through the power of song. Also featuring appropriate festive serving suggestions.
Ncuti Gatwa introduces us to his BBC press-on moustache in this official Doctor Who video released a couple of days before Christmas.

In the last of the Sixtieth Anniversary specials, an old Doctor and a new UNIT are no match for an old villain, and it’s up to a new Doctor to save the day and to join forces with Donna to save the old Doctor as well. Next stop: everywhere.

This week, we’re all wandering around a spaceship trying to have meaningful conversations about our friendships while simultaneously being horrified by how big and old we all are.
Here’s the behind-the-scenes Xwitter thread about the making of this episode by the director of Wild Blue Yonder, Tom Kingsley.

And here’s a link to Simon’s recent interview with Katy Manning.
