An unfortunate choice of series title, given that it's the old word for diarrhea, Chibbers...
Anyway, starts on Halloween.
At least they're upfront that the next season is crap

The Doctor- Who are you?!

Yeah, the BBC's severe disconnect with modern television marketing is the main issue here. I'd like to think they finally get a clue but I'm not holding my breath.A number of years ago (late Smith/early Capaldi era, so 2012-ish to 2014-ish), I had occasional interactions with BBC Worldwide and BBC America. An issue that came up was how their hands were tied when it came to marketing because of the BBC's fanatical secrecy about broadcast dates. Paraphrasing some of these conversations: "They don't understand how television marketing works in the US. You start out months in advance. You plaster the launch date all over the place. And we can't do that." It was a source of frustration, especially since they were putting money into it, which is why they went heavy into putting the marketing into thing they could have some control over, like the Fathom movie events and SDCC.
My hope with Bad Wolf's involvement in the post-Chibnall era that the marketing gets more of a clue.
"...the fight of our lives..."
Anyone else getting slight kitchen sink vibes from this? As in, throwing a whole lot at us in the hope at least some of it sticks? And surely they could have come up with a more interesting and tantalising name than 'The Flux', which just...doesn't inspire. Or maybe I'm just being a little cynical. Hopefully we get a full trailer, with more substance, and that sparks something.
Back in the day BBC Video thought the best way of boosting sales of the TVMovie was to delete all the existing vhses. Including the one that had been out for three weeks.The Beeb really don't help themselves sometimes.
Just for fun start counting the ways this can go wrong:

So, did movie audiences in the UK giggle like schoolkids when Doc Brown discussed his "flux capacitor"?![]()
So Flux is the title of this season? Kinda weird the way they have it on the poster. Is this 'Doctor Who: Flux'?
I assumed it was the title of the episode that aires on October 31.
I doubt that. I'm willing to bet each episode will have their own title while the season has its own umbrella title. Just like The Key to Time and Trial of a Timelord.All six episodes of Series 13 are one single story, most likely divided into Parts 1-6 in the style of old-school Doctor Who serials.

No they didn't. Almost no one will have ever heard it used as anything other than meaning a state of change unless they're studying history. Or welding something.
