One of these days I have to re-engage with the Doctor

Not actually part of the 10th series/season Doctor Who Casualties of War - this is a video teaser for a collection of audio adventures featuring the War Doctor, it features late John Hurt's last time playing the War Doctor. What I found interesting is that Louise Jameson appears as an older version of Leela, companion to the 4th Doctor. Also a regular in this audio adventures is Jacquline Pearce, who played the main adversary of Blakes 7, Servilan, as a Time Lady who fights the Time War with or without the War Doctor. I haven't actually heard any of these. The only Big Finish Audio I have is the 8th Doctor's first adventure after the TV movie. Someday I may actually listen to it.

Thanks, Guybrush

The Mondasian Cybermen, the original Cybermen from the planet Mondas rather than the new series Cybermen from an alternate universe will be in series/season 10 finale. These are the Cybrmen as they first appeared during William Hartnell's last story, except of course they're in color not b/w.

In the classic series Cybermen were humans from Earth's lost twin planet, Mondas, who transformed themselves into cyborgs and lost their emotions and their empathy for others. They have a very different, more primitive look the later Cybermen, because they were early in their history. Through out the original series they changed in appearance as the Doctors met them in later parts of their history.

New series Cybermen were originally humans from an alternate universe Earth. And like the Daleks are always saying "Exterminate" these new series Cybermen say "You will be deleted" (killed) or "You will be upgraded" (converted inro Cybermen).

One of the first cybermen (b/w)

The Mondasian Cybermen with Peter Capaldi's Doctor

New Doctor Who alternative universe Cybermen

Video showing how the CYbernmen have changed over the years

So classic series villains making a comeback: Movellans, Ice Warriors and Cybermen. And of course the Daleks.

New series 10 trailer

BBC America version

Thanks, Guybrush

I just learned that Kris Marshall is leaving "Death in Paradise". And the bookies have stopped accepting bets on his taking over the lead in "Doctor Who". Apparently they think he will replace Capaldi.

I trailer, which I don't have a copy of since it was on BBC 2. Ends with a brief clip of the Peter Capaldi's Doctor looking like he's in pain, and his hand beginning to glow. We know season 10 is his last. What we dont know is if he will regenerate and the end of the season/series which would either have the new Doctor appear in the Christmas special or would be a CHristmas special without a Doctor or there wouldn't be a Christmas special?

The actress playing "Bill" claims here character is "gay".

Its been announced that both the John Simms version of the Master and Missy will appear in episode together. They can do that since the Doctor, the Master and the Mistress are all time travelers. Though crossing ones own time stream is dangerous.

I'll bet crossing one's own time stream is dangerous. Thanks for the info.

In the original series the Doctor could only cross his own time stream to meet other versions of himself with the help of other Time Lords from Gallifrey. Or in the case of The Five Doctors being abducted by an evil Time Lord. Normally the TARDIS wouldn't do that.

In fact in one story Mawdred Undead, the 5th Doctor claimed that if a past and future version of a person met it could be a disaster. When the Doctor met a future version of the Brigadier he found him suffering from partial amnesia. Eventually he recognizes the Doctor but can't recall what caused the trauma. At the end of the story what happened is revealed. Two versions of the Brigadier met as a result of one being a stoeway in the Doctor's TARDIS. As a result an explosion rendered them both unconscious. It could actually have ripped a hole in the universe it didn't because stolen Time Lord tech absorbed the energy released. It was the two versions of the Brigadier meeting that caused the mental breakdown.

In the 50th anniversary special 3 versions of the Doctor met because another piece of Time Lord tech, a sentient weapon capable of causing a sun to go nova, brought the three together. Would have been 4, but the first actor to play the Doctor in the new series declined to take part.

Okay now there is a rumor that Bill will only last the series/season so that when new series runner comes in for series/season 11 he will have a complete new slate to work with, new Doctor, new companion.

When doe's the new season start ?

Tax day in America, April 15th.

All kinds of rumors from the first Doctor making an appearance with either someone who looks like William Hartnell or CGI, to there will actually be 3 or 4 versions of the Master, with someone who looks like Roger Delgado or CGI allowing the original Master to join Missy and the Simms version. Apparently there is a Big Finish multi master audio story.

Thank you Guybrush.

Well I actually watched the first episode. It was ok but I don't think it was enough for me to continue watching.

David Bradley is rumoured to play the 1st Doctor.

Sorry to hear that.
I am enjoying the new companion dynamic. I like Bill, and the fact that she has a 'normal' relationship with the doctor, uncomplicated by shifting timelines like the more recent companions. Capaldi is my favorite Doctor since Tennant, and I will be sad to see him go. The current rumor is that Kris Marshall is to be the 13th Doctor. Personally, I am not a fan, but I like Bill so much, if they keep her, it will soften the blow.

So who's locked in the vault? Missy?

Few posts back I mentioned that the bookies have stopped accepting bets on Kris Marshall becoming the Doctor. They must be sure he's got the part.

Though it's not been perfect, I certainly feel this has been a lot better than last season which, frankly, was pretty awful most of the time (IMHO of course!). I like the different dynamic with the new companion - especially the fact that she inconveniently blurts out massive plot / logic flaws! - and I like Mark Gatis' character too. The Doctor himself seems to be regaining some humanity, which is good as I found Capaldi's carnation quite alienating at times (yes I realise the irony of that statement!). Interested to see how the story arc continues.

All kinds of theories as to who is in the vault:

Missy
The Master (because Missy is really the Rani pretending to be the Master)
The Valeyard (evil version of the Doctor from Trial of a Timelord)
Omega (from classic series)
The Doctor (because Peter Capaldi's character is actually an imposter)
The Doctor (a future version which for some reason the current version has imprisoned)
The Doctor (a past version which for some reason the current version has imprisoned)
The Doctor's granddaughter Susan
The Doctor's daughter Jenny
Missy's daughter
Rassilon
The Hybrid
Ashildr
Clara
Chris Chibnall (because Steven Moffat has changed his mind about leaving) :lol

If Clara is in the vault I might start watching again.

Looks like Missy will be in the next episode. Which makes me think she's in the vault.

According to Wikipedia episodes were produced out of order. The first 4 episodes were produced in order than it went out of sequence a bit. Last year's Christmas special was actually produced after the first 4 episodes of this season. "Oygen" (episode 5 which just aired) was actually produced with "The Eaters of Light" (episode 10). Then it goes back in order. Next week's episode "Extremis" (episode 6) was produced with "The Pyramid at the End of the World (episode 7). "The Lie of the Land" (episode 8) was produced with "The Empress of Mars" (episode 9). "World Enough and Time" (episode 11) was produced with "The Doctor Falls" (episode 12). Episodes 11 and 12 are only episodes officially counted as parts 1 and 2.

The Christmas special doesn't have a title yet.
