Awesome! Even though her voice obviously changed since she's 19 now, it was wonderful to have her reprise the role. D'oh! I completely forgot! Woohoo! I definitely can't forget about that one!
New short story from Moffat https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/entries/a094ba61-81b2-465b-9b87-2f509fe2a117
Might it be a good idea to change title of this thread to something a bit more general for the lockdown period and everything that is coming out during it? #DoctorWhoLockdown is the hashtag being used for the rewatches as well as the individual ones
A bit predictable, but a nice poignant ending that can be applied to current events quite well indeed.
Agreed, I didn’t really anticipate the twitter viewings becoming such a regular thing when I first posted.
I thought it was interesting how Moffat threaded the needle between his view of how they Doctor can and can't save the world because they're imaginary, versus Chibnall's more overt take on that issue.
A new little scene has been released before tonight's rewatch. Doctor Who: Lockdown with a 1946 Rory:
I just came here to post the same (especially since a bunch of us started watching and tweeting an hour too soon ). This little snippet is so beautiful and such a great little epilogue to the Amy and Rory story.
Neil tweeted out unused pages for the episode that have never been seen before: Alternate scene with the Time Lord message cube in the TARDIS (no Rory). Rory and the Zero Room. Original ending (no Rory).
Because I am the worst kind of fan, I must note a goof. If it's 1946, 43 years later would be 1989, the year Amy Pond was born, so unless she was very precocious, she probably didn't meet Rory in school then. Rory might've just been distracted and picked the wrong date.
Who knows how the dates work with Rory anyway. Didn't his badge in The Eleventh Hour say he was a nurse since 1991 or something?
Which reminds me, while Rory and Amy are the same age, Arthur Darvill is eight or ten years older than Karen Gillan, so the script might've been thinking of when Arthur would've been in school, not Rory.
On Tuesday we have Heaven Sent with Moffat, Rachel Talalay and Jami Reid-Quarrell tweeting along: https://twitter.com/Emily_Rosina/status/1249064913764524034 Bit of a dilemma for me as that is day I traditionally rewatch Titanic.
