Still four - for now
Doctor Who Spoilers & Information (Part 3)
26 of 37
I do wish that the Doctor Who trailer were an actual trailer. Like, wedging in a few clips amongst the behind-the-scenes stuff is a bit frustrating for those of us who try to avoid the behind-the-scenes stuff. Of course they've only just finished filming so it's fair enough, and it's nly a minor complaint... it looks like it could be good.
The second Class trailer is very different to the first. Looking awesome though, and I love that they likened it to both Buffy and Once Upon a Time directly. The show already seems quite self-aware which is a good thing, and the Doctor's speechless response to the likenesses was priceless!

My main concern with Class is that it's going to be tryhard, edgy-for-the-sake-of-it nonsense.
Neither trailer does anything to alleviate those fears. I also don't think it's a good idea for The Doctor to be there at all, RTD got it right when he kept him as far away from Torchwood as possible.
It's like the BBC don't actually know who these shows are made for anymore.

It's a genuine leak of a page of the script!
Or me being silly.
You decide.

Hang on, a Classic Series writer??

Torchwood was an entirely different scenario with the institution itself set up by Queen Vic and Jack having all that experience with the Doctor. It seems obvious that the Doctor has to be the catalyst for Class if it's not to look a tad disconnected.

If it was already uploaded, I apologise; I haven't seen it here yet. :P
I enjoyed the Class trailer to be honest. Definitely looking forward to the premiere in a few weeks. Things are shaping up good.

I agree. I thought it looked terrible, lots of middle-class, good looking teenagers acting scared and then being heroes and saving the day.

Shame on the show giving the characters a transition period and development...

Yep,Sarah Dollard (who is writing for Series 10) is said to be very excited at who it is. Current speculation is Ben Aaronovitch (Remembrance of the Daleks, Battlefield), Rona Munro (Survival), Steven Gallagher (Warriors Gate, Terminus) or Christopher Bailey (Kinda, Snakedance)

Seriously??? Ooooh, now that's exciting news!
I would LOVE this to be Uncle Terrance, but i suspect it isn't as the wonderful Mr Dicks is in his 80s now.
Oh, I know, it's Graeme Curry's long awaited Happiness Patrol sequel, isn't it?

Isn't there a monster from the Happiness Patrol returning though? It must be him.

Wait a minute. What? WHAT???
I was taking the piss. What the hell have you heard??
'Resurrection of the Kandyman'? 'Return to the Kandy Kitchen'? 'Hello Sweetie'?
Bring it on!!!
I'd be pleased with any of the names mentioned. I love the Mara stories, so Chris Bailey would be my first choice, mind. But I'll go for Rona Munro as most likely out of those being suggested.
eta Only say that because 'Survival' has a sort of C21 Who vibe to it. Then again, as a big fan of the era, maybe SM has got a Davison era writer on board for his swansong series? Rather exciting!

Well it was a rumour for the return of Stigorax, with that rumour and a classic writer. It must be true.

Happiness will prevail!
I'm actually looking forward to this special. The superhero idea might actually work and the Class trailer was pretty good too.

I'm looking forward to it as well. Haven't looked forward so much to a Christmas special since The End Of Time. Which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I thought the last two Christmas specials were both great. I will be impressed if Moffat can make a Christmas special greatness hat trick.
I definitely enjoy his writing more when he's writing a one off, as opposed to when he's writing an arc.

Hmmm. How do you know that they are all middle-class?

Hell yes.
Loved Survival and having her back for a story for Series 10 would be great.
BBC Worldwide and Mr Men publishers Sanrio Global have got together to create a series of Mr Men books based on each of the 12 Doctors...
