I get the sense this is all gearing up to the anniversary of Doomsdsy next week...

"The upgrade can be taken on floor 12." - surely that's a reference to parallel world Cybers?

I think it was a mistake, not starting Russell T Davies' second run on Doctor Who with a full series in 2023 and then the 60th Anniversary specials. Don't get me wrong, i understand why they couldn't do it. Because of the circumstances the show has been going through at the time.

Has Doctor Who become too focused on season-long mysteries?

I've enjoyed plenty of the bigger story arcs over the years, but sometimes I miss when an episode could simply tell a brilliant standalone story without constantly building towards a finale.

Do you prefer ongoing mysteries, or more self contained adventures?
