Well, the press preview of The Next Doctor was held yesterday and Jane Tranter has implored journalists not to spoil it for the great unwashed who will be tuning in on Christmas Day. And you won't be getting any revelations about what Russell T Davies described as a' ferocious ending' but I can provide a few tid-bits along with a whole new gallery of images (thanks to Sky TV's website for those).
Look out for a flashback to all the Doctors, a hot air balloon and mention of the mysterious Jackson Lake.
Two Doctors? Or is one of them an impostor?
Perhaps the fob watch holds the answer...
...to the two Doctors working as a team?
The Cybermen are unwelcome guests at a stranger's funeral
Are the orphans of London town due for an upgrade?
Just what are the sinister Cybershades?
Is the Cyberleader checking out the Doctor's biography?
The Next Doctor is transmitted on Christmas Day, BBC1 at 6.00pm.

The Book(s) What I Wrote
"Merits attention from Doctor Who fans interested in the development of a script by going deep into the story’s genesis and shifts in tone, and the infamous production difficulties which plagued it. The glimpses of Steve Gallagher’s original scripts are fascinating, as are the changes made to them by seemingly everyone from directors to producers to cast members." We Are Cult. 17 June 2019.

"...well-informed new angles on familiar episodes... this is a great read from start to finish" - Bertie Fox - Amazon 4/5 stars
