Spare a thought on Doctor Who's anniversary for Verity Lambert - the BBC's only female producer, and its youngest, having not yet scraped 30. An absolute icon. pic.twitter.com/BaxTdD7wlM

I... forget that this is a show that is actually CURRENT? And that we will get more? S12 was pre-lockdown, so it feels like decades ago.
ETA: Watched The Christmas Invasion. (Because that's where we were up to in our re-watch.) SO MUCH FUN!
The teenager's opinion: I prefer old Doctor Who to New Doctor Who
Me: This IS New Doctor Who!
*g*
Also I stand by my 'Dr Who as a metaphor for the UK' analogy. The Doctor toppled Harriet Jones and destroyed Britain's Golden Age. And here we are.

I honestly don't know how to feel.

LOL, now that's wishful thinking! (I'm sure JB would do that in a flash! :-D )
I honestly don't know how to feel.
I have to say I'm coming to this much more as a Jack fan and a Jack role-player (new canon to play with!!!) than a DW fan, so I'll be happy just to have him there, as I was last time. :-)
no subject
He SO would. And so would Jack (let's be honest) but TPTB won't let him...

Oh same here. And it looks like it'll be FUN Jack, whom I've missed since... I don't even know. 2010?

Well, I don't know, I mean they did have the defabricator, once upon a time... :-D

Well, we had fun Jack in that one ep last year but before that... Not in Miracle Day, that I can remember, not in CoE except a few glimpses, so... S2? 2009? :-(

VERY TRUE. And I have just spent WAY too long looking for this icon. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.

Aye. S2 and then the S4 DW finale.
no subject
Oh yes, the DW S4 finale, of course! See, that's the thing. On DW, Jack could be fun, because he was playing the sidekick again...
no subject
And yes, on Doctor Who he can escape the angst!! Here's to fun!Jack.

I'm happy to have Jack back, even if I'm not as fond of John I used to be.

She is the BEST. All hail Georgia.

Yeah, it's nice to have him back on screen after... 10 years?
