When you reboot a computer (turn it off and turn it back on again) it’s the same computer
Relaunch maybe?
The whole series renumbering thing kind of makes me crazy. On the one hand, it's bad enough differentiating between the classic series and new series sometimes and this just adds a whole 'nother level. On the other hand, calling the 2005 series "Season 27" also makes me crazy, so...I don't know where I land on this.
I mean, he's not going to come round to your home and force you to call it Season 1.
Just do it the old way, the Hartnel era, Troughton era, Pertwee era, Baker Era.........and so on, that is how we did it before the internet.
But ...but...they should cater to my sense of consistency above all else! /s
I’m sort of hoping the reason he isn’t in it is because he’s making a surprise cameo in the specials. But more realistically, given his age etc, it’s likely that Day of the Doctor is/was his televised DW swansong.
Which is fine with me because that was a beautiful swan song.
Plus, all of the Big Finish audio plays he's done (but regrettably, as he as noted, after Lis' and Nick's deaths).

And they recorded a huge amount of Tom's BF stories years ago, so I'm not sure the last time he recorded something for thrm.
This is true. And it’s unlikely that another appearance would top it, indeed, I suspect it would just be Curator Redux
* sigh *
The stupidity is strong within the DW fandom right now, between words being misused and people having unnecessary freak-outs about something that is most likely internal only and means nothing one way or the other.

There'll be a minisode called "Born Again… Again!" during 'Children In Need' on the 17th. It will have it's own episode of making-of show "Doctor Who: Unleashed" as well.
It looks like this might introduce the new TARDIS.

This your first day on the internet?
It's also his first day not looking in a mirror.
SFX and RTD also confirms a few extra things about the specials...some of them run for about 55 or 58 minutes, and The Giggle is the longest at one hour, one minute,
also there is a flashback to Michael Gough's Toymaker in The Giggle
Covers for the novelisations. Have to say I'm not a fan of the fake-Chris Achilleos style. You're trying to imitate a master so you're always going to come up short.
Oddly the ebooks will be out the week after the episode airs but the physical books won't be out until January and the audiobooks until February.

^Sloppy move not to have the physical copies out in time for Christmas, I would say
Doesn't look like there's any Beep toys coming either, just some badges and t-shirts.
