I assumed it referred to Susan, and they're bringing her back this season. Again. Because, you know, we assume that every season.

Of the basic RTD series formula which the show has leaned on more or less consistently the watchword build to the finale is definitely one of the cliches I wish they’d get rid of.

There was a time when my dad was dying that I watched Day of the Doctor every single night for like two months, and this scene still gives me goosebumps.

They use video of the Seventh Doctor from one of classic series eps in the "All 13!" scene, and then moments later when they go back, they use video of Seven from the TV Movie.

Seriously. I could grouse about using archive audio for the living Doctors instead of getting them to record new voiceovers for that scene but the First Doctor spinning in with such a perfect impersonation still gives me shivers of dumb fangirl excitement so I'm too busy being excited to let mild disappointments like that bother me afterwards.

I really wish they hadn't revealed the next doctor before that scene. Imagine if you didn't know who he was gonna be and them BAM Malcolm tucker's flying a TARDIS. I'd have lost my poo poo completely

I liked Jubilee a lot the first time I heard it but found it didn't really stand up well to re-listens.

So what I'm saying is that if you loved it, listen to it exactly and only once.

(I'm a bit cooler on Robert Shearman's work than most of this thread, though. Aside from Chimes of Midnight of course, I'm not a monster.)

We'll never get a secret new Doctor reveal ever. There's too much promotional value in it for them to let it just happen as part of a story without anyone knowing in advance. Which is a real shame.
