Could've been a different Doctor. We know at least The Seventh Doctor was there, too.When did Ten find the time to get to know that Roman dude from Pompeii![]()
...so The Doctor pretends to be a servant for an offshoot colony in order to deceive the Daleks?
So the new DWM has revealed the title of the finale/Centenary special.
Power of the Doctor
They seem to have predated the official account posting the same pics (and, in a separate tweet, a poster for the Power of the Doctor). https://twitter.com/bbcdoctorwho/status/1572624234249068546?s=46&t=WVrWKSVuJYk1Bw6SouIAhgI don't know where these photos originally come from (but I'm guessing the same Doctor Who Magazine issue that revealed the episode title), but they're some new shots of Tegan and Ace...with The Doctor and Kate!
From what I've read, it's a country-wide thing in Britain. British networks tend to wait until the last minute to release their premiere dates to prevent their competitors from "counter programming." Essentially sticking a popular show on at the same timeslot another popular show is known to be on on another network.Do other shows in England withhold their release dates to the last minute or is that only a Doctor Who thing?
The Writer's Tale. It's the whole reason RTD was confused why BBC wouldn't confirm the Christmas episodes would air on Christmas Day, since as he put it "this isn't America, a Christmas episode by definition can only air on Christmas Day."Yeah, puzzled where that “airs on Christmas Day” comes from.
The answer to his confusion being that there are more hours of Christmas Special programming on BBC One than there are hours in Christmas Day, of course...The Writer's Tale. It's the whole reason RTD was confused why BBC wouldn't confirm the Christmas episodes would air on Christmas Day, since as he put it "this isn't America, a Christmas episode by definition can only air on Christmas Day."
People connected to BBC America have complained about this for years, because their promotional needs and marketing window are different than the BBC's. Any success they've had is in spite of the BBC, not because of it.British networks tend to wait until the last minute to release their premiere dates to prevent their competitors from "counter programming." Essentially sticking a popular show on at the same timeslot another popular show is known to be on on another network.
In The Writer's Tale RTD talks about how secretive BBC is about airdates, even internally. They would never tell him when the seasons would premiere until a day or so before it was revealed to the public, and oddly enough they would never confirm for him the Christmas episodes would air on Christmas Day, despite the fact that in Britain "Christmas Special" literally means something which airs on Christmas Day as opposed to America where Christmas Specials can air anytime during December.
