I think I've rewatched the 50th Special more than any other Who story. It's just so, so good.

"You know, I really think you might!" :allears:

Honestly, I don't believe a word of that.

John Simm's Master, Missy, and Derek Jacobi's Master team up to defeat The Valeyard after Capaldi regenerates into him. Surprise appearance on video screen by CGI ~~Ainley Master~~Snake because after all, "a cosmos without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about."

Good, but I made it better.

It sounds more like a Big Finish audio spinoff than DW proper.

They are gloves. Just weird flesh toned ones.

There does seem to be an in-story reason for the gloves. There's pics floating around of 'knot heads' who look like hospital patients before cyberisation.

I can't help but feel like tonight's 400 mile long spaceship, with one end in a black hole is going to be some derivative of The Needle from the EDA 'The Infinity Doctors'.

The concept puts me in mind of the second Red Dwarf book, Better Than Life. Lister is marooned on a planet while the crew on the big ship find that time is passing differently at the front of the ship than at the back, and eventually work out it's because they're being pulled into a black hole. They escape and go back to pick up Lister, who turns out to have been marooned for 34 years.

Man, the Red Dwarf books were really weird.

Supposition: the later phases of Cybermen are ones further up the ship as time changes speed.

Just loop around again. Matt Smith is the 2nd Doctor!

If you're looking for a David Tennant type that worked with Chibnall before, it has to be Jonathan Bailey.

He's very funny, can do dramatic stuff, and he's exactly the kind of image that the BBC would think would appeal to young women. He's not exactly imposing, though.

He was in Time Heist!

He was the Angel Islington in the original tv version of Neverwhere.

As much as I'd love that, Aoyade is not really an actor. Then again, maybe he can just give his truth, instead of a performance:

He was president of Footlights at Cambridge uni, so I think he's got some inkling of acting.

There was that weird rumour about both the 13th and 14th Doctors showing up in the Xmas special...?

Mark Gatiss is going to be in front of the camera in the Xmas special in an apparently secret role. Hopefully not the 3rd Doctor...

They did a No sir, All 13! Set I think. I know for sure there's one with War.

They did indeed! Although the Capaldi is the first edition face mould that looks nothing like him, rather than the more recent one which is pretty good.

It's from the BBC animated story Real Time. Big Finish have used the colour scheme on occasion too.
