"It feels different this time..." - The new Doctor Who Thread

Yes, the new Doctor is usually announced in the press months ahead of time. I think it would be a little distracting during the regeneration scene to have the audience going "wait, who is that? oh oh oh I think I know him, isn't that the guy from--" etc.
One case where the incoming Doctor's identity being known ahead of time even contributed to the impact was the brief, eyes-only surprise cameo of Peter Capaldi in The Day of the Doctor, one episode before he was known to be appearing as the Twelfth Doctor. At least in my theater it got a big cheer because everyone already knew who he was.

Oh, to be in a theater watching Day of the Doctor, every time it's brought up I feel a pang of jealousy. The first time I watched it, the audio slowly drifted out of sync on the "acquired" version I had and by the end, I saw the surprise guest before I heard him as intended lol. Lucky Vaeran!

I cuss you bad
I was fairly drunk in Doha's airport when that was on, I had to watch it on catch-up. Seeing everybody's excitement about it online didn't help.
I'm assuming this is for the 60th Anniversary episode, but the link isn't currently working so I dunno what's going on lol

I mean, go back there some day.
I always thought the Land of Fiction was really clever in that it wasn't where the fictional stuff is real, it's that there's a prescribed set of things that can't be deviated from and everything there is like a robot. It's an atypical way to deal with the idea.

It's ice cold, yo.
It's so bonkers to get actual teases like this from Doctor Who after years of Chibnall's weird silence on this stuff:
EDIT: what the fuck?! Major spoilers but this is who this person is supposedly playing:
EDIT EDIT: correction on the above, that person is playing

a person named "Rose" as opposed to "Rose Tyler" as the article originally said. I wonder what that means...

This one seems to have been deleted, what was it?
Oh, you're right, weird, it is gone - it was a tweet announcing the actor Bernard Cribbons would be reprising his role of Wilfred Mott, but did so by saying "If the Tenth Doctor is back, his killer can't be far behind!" hence me saying "geez" lol
He's 93, apparently. Weirdly, William Russell, one of the Doctor's very first companions from 1963, is still kicking at 97 freaking years of age.
I'll be keeping an eye on this so if it ever comes out, I'll post about it here, but check this out:

Are we doing spoilers for 60th Anniversary reveals?
I mean, he's gotta be Peter Cushing's Dr. Who, right?

Hmm.... OK

Disney Plus supposedly trying to snag streaming rights for the new Doctor Who
The streamer is apparently in talks to become the new global home for Doctor Who

Well, silver lining for me, this means Doctor Who would finally get some of my money since Thirteen doesn't have any distribution deal in Spain and looks like that'll be the case with Fourteen.
