We can't from a director's CV. We'll have to wait for a formal announcement.
Series 11 News & Spoilers
- Thread starter StCoop
- Start date
The marketing materials for licensors do talk about there being over 11 hours of new material this year, so I'd call it more likely a separate episode than not.
Edit: Plus it was already confirmed that Jamie Childs was directing Episodes 9+10 so...

Camera limitations meant that if the Doctor's coat was high colour, high contrast, the sets and other costumes had to be overlit and in the same range.
JNT said later that if the techs had explained that he'd have gone for a different costume. The idea was to make the Doctor this shining light in the darkness, but as the sets couldn't be dark...
Yes, the director listed (Wayne Yip) directed Block 2, and is a different guy than the one doing the finale (Jamie Childs again)
I've also seen the coat in Cardiff and it's definitely not as bright as when seen on screen. However, I'd attribute at least some of this to typical wear and tear and simple exposure of fabric to the air over thirty years... They also made three costume coats during Baker's tenure (one wonders if the third was made larger to accommodate the... additional talent... the actor picked up before his final season), so it's possible the one in Cardiff was more used/faded than the others.

Um. Why isn't it October already?
Quick! To the Bajorian Wormhole!

BBC's Lizo Miumba is NOT happy about this, believing the first scoop on this should have went to the Beeb or Radio Times

So, given that all these pictures have all three companions together, I guess that stuff about the Doctor existing in three separate timelines are crap?
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a carefully managed marketing plan for the rollout of Series 11. We have a television show that's declined in the ratings over the last five years, we have a new producer, and we have a new Doctor that's unlike any that's come before. The days of "Let's run a BBC One sutumn trailer, get some pictures in Radio Times, and call it a day" are probably long over.
It's also helpful to remember that it's not BBC One that's paying to fly Jodie Whittaker and the cast out to San Diego next week. BBC America does, and it's not unreasonable for them to say, "If we're paying for this, we want to be able to do this, this, and this." If that's photos in EW and a trailer with unseen footage, so be it. And I wonder if this means that the tension that's existed between BBC One ("This is the way we promote things") and Worldwide ("The way you promote things hampers the ability of our broadcast partners to be able to promote the series") has finally be resolved.
I expected something a bit more churlish from Mzimba when I clicked through to his tweet. I didn't think he was that unhappy, but rereading it I can see how he certainly walks toward the line. If Tom Spilsbury had faced the same situation two or three years ago (the BBC bypassing the official propaganda magazine), he wouldn't have been anywhere near as professional.
I think it's more critical to promote the world wide audience than the small UK audience. A female doctor is huge and they want to get the most coverage as possible.
It's possible we might get a stateside talk show appearance from Jodie in the near future too.
SDCC is way larger than a convention in the UK. It's a big deal.
Jodie will also be a part of the "Women Who Kick Ass" panel at SDCC
There will be trailer for the new series during the World Cup finals

That does seem likely and here's hoping Stephen Colbert lands the interview. He's easily the biggest nerd of all the late show hosts and he's had two former Doctors on the show already (Tennant and Smith), albeit for other productions. I believe Doctor Who came up in both interviews.
Corden would relate instantly with a fellow brit but Colbert would bring a well rounded one on one interview.
Corden was also in two episodes of Doctor Who with Matt Smith's Doctor
Do you think that second picture a Tardis laying down?
