Series 11 News & Spoilers

[Samurai8472]

The worlds tallest man in the U.K will play an alien in an upcoming episode

 

[The Nth Doctor]

A creepy-looking one at that! I'm glad they're putting him into good use.

 

[The Wormhole]

I think he looks kind of adorable, particularly that snout.

Episode 3, by Malorie Blackman is the Rosa Parks episode that was the subject of a lot of filming photos, and is titled Rosa.

Way down the cast list is a previous DW alumni - Morgan Deare, who played Stubby Kaye's sidekick in Delta And The Bannermen...

Episode 4 is called "Arachnids in the UK".

I'd have thought that Chris Noth would have been in the Rosa Parks episode but it's actually this one.

[The Wormhole]

I'm still a few hours yet from seeing the episode, but after just watching the new credit sequence, damn, son. That's a credit sequence!

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Like I said in the review thread, I love how original it feels while also invoking the previous iterations, but it's a shame how short it is.

 

[Csalem]

I was expecting something similar to what was in the logo reveal, so this was a pleasant surprise. There is a real sense of unknown about this series which I am enjoying - last week Chris Noth reveal, this week the credits. Looking forward to what is next!

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

Yeah, I prefer the logo reveal, personally. But this is OK, I guess. Not a fan of the new theme, though.

Also, no face appearence! Chibnall really didn't take anything from Moff with him!

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Yeah, that's a shame. Maybe the next one will.

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

Yeah, I wouldn't have a subtle hint of the face, ala series 7B.

 

[Timby]

It wouldn't be a clip if it didn't include the current Doctor saying, "Don't forget to click below and subscribe to the official Doctor Who YouTube channel."

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

My favorite of those is the one with Tom Baker saying it.

 

[Samurai8472]

I noticed the opening theme gives credit to the series producer and director now. Rather than just "Episode Written by"

Nice to give credit where credit is due.




Episodes 5 and 6 revealed

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/entries/13b40d8c-de4c-4662-9118-89154d64fd90

Episode Five: The Tsuranga Conundrum

Action-adventure for all the family, starring Jodie Whittaker, Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill.

“Risk to life: absolute.” Injured and stranded in the wilds of a far-flung galaxy, The Doctor, Yaz, Graham and Ryan must band together with a group of strangers to survive against one of the universe’s most deadly -- and unusual -- creatures.

Guest starring Suzanne Packer, Ben Bailey Smith, Brett Goldstein and Lois Chimimba.

Written by Chris Chibnall. Directed by Jennifer Perrott.

Episode Six: Demons Of The Punjab

Travels in space and time for all the family, starring Jodie Whittaker, Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill.

“What’s the point of having a mate with a time machine, if you can’t nip back and see your gran when she was younger?” India, 1947. The Doctor and her friends arrive in the Punjab, as the country is being torn apart. While Yaz attempts to discover her grandmother’s hidden history, the Doctor discovers demons haunting the land. Who are they and what do they want?

Guest starring Shane Zaza, Amita Suman and Hamza Jeetooa. Written by Vinay Patel. Directed by Jamie Childs.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

"Demons of the Punjab" sounds interesting (I misread that initially as "Six Demons of the Punjab," which I think I like better). While I imagine some people will think it's a rethread of "Father's Day," I expect (or I certainly hope) this episode will be more about Yaz simply trying to learn about her family's history, something many of us wish to do and she has the unique opportunity to visit that history in person. I'm also encouraged by the promise of this episode because it's written by someone with Indian heritage who is far better equipped to write about Indian history and culture than some white British dude.

I got the impression it’s completely different. Father’s Day was about Rose going to change the past and this seems to be about wanting to see your family history and the Doctor finds out there are demons there because her life is just like that.

 

[ATimson]

Like I said in the review thread, I love how original it feels while also invoking the previous iterations, but it's a shame how short it is.

35 seconds, versus 39 for the 2005 version. Short, but still in the ballpark.

Glad there's no face. Sad the opening scream is gone. (And either my least or second-least favorite iteration of the theme since 2005. Might be better than the mess that is the 2009 version, but it's a close race to the bottom.)

 

[Lonemagpie]

I'm guessing that tall alien with the snout is probably in The Tsuranga Conundrum, then.

There seems to be a proliferation of Indian actors on the show overall, and moreso this season. Is this a BBC-wide thing, or more DW? Doctor Who being the only BBC show I watch since Torchwood.
