One thing that popped into my head with this episode was that when the tardis sprang out of lockdown mode, it should've had it's default shape (whatever that may be, possibly a cylinder) for a couple seconds before taking the police box mode. Has a tardis changing shape ever been shown- does it happen before your eyes or does it just dematerialize and show up again as the new shape?

Aside from a bit of unhinged dialogue, has Missy actually done anything especially villainous? Though if we're still playing "which classic villain is she" then I will put in a vote for her being the Master... of the Land of Fiction Or Omega.

Except Dark Eyes 3 comes out right after the finale, and heavily features the Master, which seems the most likely red herring, if not the actual answer? (Like, I'm fairly sure Moff at least wants us to THINK she's the Master) Also, the new Gallifrey is a one-shot, not a box set.

And depending on what the runtime on Intervention Earth is, the terminology's kinda wonky, innit? Anyway, she's probably sodding Death or some poo poo (if she's anyone). God, "Master" turned to poo poo as soon as they brought in sodding Death.

The Master's conspicuous absence from Big Finish between 2003 and 2011 would seem to suggest some sort of embargo, especially that Six Lost Story that was adapted from a Master story but which wasn't able to make the villain explicitly the Master.

The BBC isn't going to let an upcoming release from a niche radio play company prevent them from bringing an iconic character back to their hugely popular worldwide tv show. C'mon, guys. Seriously.

The argument is not that Big Finish would block the Beeb, it's that the Beeb would block Big Finish as they have done in the past.

I suspect that the rationale is that the BBC wouldn't allow that niche radio play company to use the linchpin of the latest season of their hugely popular worldwide TV show rather than that Big Finish has any veto power over TV Who. Not sure I buy it either way. I'd think they'd welcome the cross promotion opportunities but then I am not a UK network executive.

So one of the nice things about "An Adventure in Space and Time" is that it comes with the DVD of "An Unearthly Child." And one of the best parts about that is that there are a bunch of comedy sketches on that disc, most including Mark Gatiss and one including Peter Davison, who spends the entire sketch tied up with tape over his mouth and a look of absolute terror on his face. And another features a bunch of Big Finish folks hamming it up in a hallway. Now I have to go rewatch "The Five-ish Doctors." Some say it's a classic.

The absolute golden scene in the Five(ish) Doctors is when they catch John Barrowman with a wife and kids.

Actually, Big Finish has to submit all their storylines to the BBC/Who production office for approval. Ignoring their directives would result in a loss of license.

If you're planning to bring a character back you don't just stop them doing things for the year you're actually doing it surely, that would be a huge giveaway.
