Just the title, any specific people or things, extra points for good sources!

I was discussing this with a redditor earlier today, but it’s an interesting question. Now, I love Colin’s Doctor, but even I can see that the early part of the era was problematic. And while I blame the production team and their terrible choices for the bulk of this, you do wonder how much of the failure of the era is simply down to the actor. Colin always seems to be the one my non-friends and family don’t like, for whatever reason. Why?

How did you Christians(practicing/non practicing) felt about the idea of Millitary Churches introduced in Moffat era? Did it feel jarring or did it fit seamlessly or something in between? I'm not a Christian and I'm curious.

Edit: You people are lovely and engaging. But I did not express myself properly. I didn't wonder if you were offended. I wanted to know if it felt jarring when faith was regimented and millitarised. I mean non linear with your faith view. Frame of mind. Did it feel natural or scraping. Though I kind of have the answer. Because of the crusades, it fitted smoothly. Thank you loves.

Given that each TARDIS was supposed to be piloted by 6, by not one person, and they didn't want to intervene in historical/future events like the Doctor does. Just go to places and watch what happens?

2 is famous for them but they’re not my favourites of his. I like Tomb of the Cybermen because it bucks the trend of these kind of stories with archeologists sieging the resting spot of the Cybermen.

I think I’d have to say 10. The impossible planet/Satan Pit was such a cool story as a kid and has great classic who vibes and can pretty much work in any era of the show, quintessential Doccy Who. The supporting cast were also memorable which is rare to see especially in new who.

Waters of Mars is also iconic. Great supporting cast. Unique story telling gimmick having a future historical. Chilling monsters. And the Doctor goes dark.

Did I cook? What are your takes?

Keeping in mind, that the BBC are struggling with independent finance, having to find outside funding, explaining the tender process, not being able to make it in house, alongside whether or not the BBC are curious to see the same things we might; maybe they want to revel in the past and chase trends.

This can obviously impact a lot, from episode count, to sets, CGI and how ambitious they could be. It could be the show at its most tight, at least since 2005.

So yeah, in general, what would you like to see, that you think would massively benefit the show, and what are you expecting to see, that may be a natural consequence of the economic and creative position of the show and those running it?

Whoever they may be...

Hi. Does anyone know where the new 2026 battles in time trading cards are sold in the UK. I’ve tried both of my local toy stores with no luck!

I was at the last Long Island Doctor Who convention over the weekend and Philip Segal said that the TVM movie rights are back with the BBC after 30 years. That was brought to the attention to Daphne Ashbrook and Jason Haigh Ellery who were both there as well.

Does this mean we might finally be getting Grace and Chang Lee over at BF Towers?

Would be cool to see some sort of natural carry on of stories right after the TVM with those characters. As long as they weren't some of the more continuity breaking idea that were presented in the Leekey Bible. Easily a few box sets out of this! Fingers crossed!
