Or, you know, they just finished work on it early and want to get it out. I would like to be proven wrong, but I highly doubt it.

It does make you wonder if something else will come out in its November slot.

You'd think the BBC would deny all the episode find rumours.

Watched the tv movie again this week.

Looking back on it after eight years of new Who there isn't an awful lot wrong with it. That kiss which worked everyone up is now par for the course. The Doctor is a new man, younger than McCoy, and finds an attractive woman who seems a similar age with a similar personality. Why wouldn't they kiss.?

There has been romance throughout Doctor Who, but not really with the Doctor, apart from The Aztecs where he finds a woman of a similar age and personality (see where this is going?) and they almost get married. Ian and Barbara clearly fell in love, Ben and Polly were an item, Jo left to get married, but throwaway lines throughout the Pertwee ere suggested she was seeing Mike Yates before her whirlwind romance to Clifford. On the whole the Doctor has always been an older man than his companions. Davison being the exception but Nyssa was too young and Tegan too bossy. Even the Eccleston Doctor was too old for Rose and that never really blossomed until he became the younger Tennant. As for Smith, well there's River his wife.

Back to the tv movie. It only really falls apart fifteen minutes from the end with the fight with the Master in the TARDIS where they decided to throw in the kitchen sink. Once that was over with, those final scenes on the steps with Grace and Chang Lee were perfect Who and made me wish they had gone on to greater adventures.

Its done its job. The internet is awash with Who chat on all social media channels.

I'm currently working thru the complete box sets of 'The Sarah Jane Adventures', the five series' of which ran between 2007-2011

To be honest, I am finding them much more enjoyable and engrossing that the 'Doctor Who' episodes that were transmitted during the same time period

Really. It can't be an aversion to all things RT-D then.

I gave up to them mid way through the first series. Found them on a par with K9 And Company.
