  Buy it. Not only will you do something good, but it's worth the price.

  One of them even played the Doctor, back then in the 80s.

  Two new names announced for series 12 : Goran Višnjić and Robert Glenister. Which will make the second ER actor, IIRC, who will appear in the series.

  Immediate James Bond reference in the trailer.
  
  Well it looks better than the season 11 trailer, there appears to be more going on and wisely using classic monsters

  I did enjoy Season 11, however this looks like it is going to improve on that massively. Are we getting an overall season arc too?

  I saw the trailer as part of the 30th anniversary screening of The Curse of Fenric at the BFI. Then I queued up for Sophie Aldred's autograph. I am very happy today. (Ace is my favourite companion; I wanted to be her when I was 11 and to a certain extent I still do.)

  The Fury of the Time Lord
  
  You can certainly see McCoy's Doctor in Tennant's actions. Great DW story

  That does look quite spectacular, but I've never seen a Doctor episode.
  
  I used to have a colleague at my previous job who was a very big fan and really liked David Tennant. I seem to remember that he didn't like Matt Smith that much. :>

  Well, I'm either going to love this or loathe it. Depends if the writers love Bond as much as they love Who!

  Now, all we need is an appearance by River Song, and we'll have an ER reunion. ;)
  
  And the synopis for "Spyfall" is here :
  
  https://thedoctorwhocompanion.com/2019/12/07/synopsis-revealed-for-doctor-who-series-12-spyfall/
  

  The time traveller returns for a fresh set of adventures. When intelligence agents around the world come under attack from alien forces, MI6 turns to the only people who can help – a certain Doctor and her companions. As they travel the globe in pursuit of answers, threats arrive from all sides, leaving Earth’s security resting on the team’s shoulders. But where will this planet-threatening conspiracy lead them? Jodie Whittaker, Tosin Cole, Bradley Walsh and Mandip Gill star, with guest appearances from Stephen Fry and Lenny Henry.

  Surprised it's taken them so long to do a Bond themed episode. Trailer looks better than the last series to be fair, and I'll be giving episode one a chance to see if it's improved. But if not then I'll be done with the show until Jodie and Chibnall are gone.

The classic will be The Pirate Planet, Resurrection of the Daleks, Revelation of the Daleks and The TV Movie. The new ones will be Dalek, The Crimson Horror and The Witchfinders.

  While in London this week, I visited the market at Covent Garden, and found the stall of an artist named Stu MacKay. And among his works were some quite interesting Daleks :
  
  
  
  A signed tryptich (three daleks on one print) will cost you some 40 quids, but I'm sure you will agree with me that it's worth it. His website is here :

  Or go visit his stall at Covent Garden. That's where I bought this one :

  I took a notion this weekend to see some of the old Jon Pertwee Adventures. Ordered
  The Green Death of Ebay. I remember this scaring the poo out of me as a kid !

  You can't go wrong with Pertwee era episodes.
