Doctor Who IV - Everything Whovian - Would you like a jelly baby?

[ChrisIII]

Two clips are online, both from Space Babies. One is the Dinosaur one showing Amy what the TARDIS can do, demonstrating it not only moves in time (naturally) but also in space (As they're in prehistoric America).

Another is them looking out into space and the Doctor going ("I've got no home, species etc. but I do have freedom")

Both seem like a sort of higher budget, more optimistic version of "End of the World", except with the Doctor actually letting the companion check outside that they're travelling in time, and a demonstration of "space" (Rose already knew the TARDIS could dematerialize and rematerialize in well, "Rose") and the Rose/Doctor looking out into space thing but with dialogue similar to the "chips" scene. (Or alternatively a similar scene in "Beast Below").

Don't think I've seen Doctor Who advertised this much in America since the Smith era (Where they started doing a lot more of the same day/occasional simulcasts on BBC America).

Anyone pick up the Free Comic Book Day issue of Doctor Who today?

Reviews for the first two episodes are in, mostly positive so far.

Only complaints seem to be that Ncuti could use more dramatic Doctor moments (which was a bit of a complaint about Jodie's first season too if I recall) but this is only for the first two episodes after all. Also that there's a bit of an infodump in the premiere (probably intended for first time viewers on Disney+, probably requested by them as they also asked for the "Name: The Doctor. Occupation:Not a Doctor" scene in Church on Ruby Road).

Think we'll probably get plenty of drama with the Moffat episode which is the next one though.


Also sounds like the Beatles episode might've found an interesting way around using the songs....
