Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

The S15 scripts are up on the BBC's website now. I think they tried to fudge the dates on 'The Reality War' pages though as there's only a few random ones dated six months after the rest.

One change from the broadcast episode is that the 13th Doctor says she was pulled out from the Edge to stop the 15th, so the line about telling Yaz she loves her isn't in the script at all.

Damnation, my sister was right. RTD did use the anachronistic name. I thought the Doctor said "This is Miami, Dade County," but the script confirms it was "Miami-Dade County," which it's only been called since the 1990s.
 
How could it ever be "over", when there is no achievable ending condition?

There is. If enough people are inoculated, and the virus dwindles in transmission, it is entirely possible to eventually get rid. But, as it’s similar to things like cold and flu, it is not plausible that will be achieved.
Other things *have* been eradicated. (Smallpox for instance, and on a smaller scale TB was eradicated in some countries before sadly ending up finding its way back in.) Still others are on the verge of being eradicated by virtue of preventing the spread via treatment and inoculation, until the last remaining carriers pass — hopefully of something *other* than the disease or virus itself.

It is rather dependent on a combination of science, human kindness and ingenuity, and humans being intelligent enough to take action.

Which brings back the question of plausibility.
 
i have this theory

if that rose tyler lookalike is the new doctor then what if thats picture of her in the tardis that looks like its from the 2005 to 2008 era is what she as the new doctor wants the tardis look like now
 
In a perfect example of how screwed humanity is the second fake photo which was created specifically to show how easy it is to create a fake photo these days is itself now being spread around the internet as a real photo.
It's believable because it's nothing like what we came to expect from AI in the early days. No weird appendages with the wrong amount of fingers. No nightmarish half-melted alien looking faces in the background.

The scary thing is that the "early days" you're talking about are like... merely two years ago.
