Episode 11 worries me. It makes me think the Troughton monster might be the Macra

Rumour has it that episode 7 is in real time.

I read that the Troughton monster was going to be in Episode 3.

That's the New Earth episode I think. Could be.

Episode thirteen's title does lend credence to Simms' character rumour. I think that:

Derek Jacobi will be great as the Master (again)

Simms is confirmed to be playing

Mr Saxon. No confirmation of the Master

Aye, but the title could suggest we may see another:

Time Lord

Whoever he turns out to be, John Simm is an interesting choice. He keeps going on about not wanting to do the same character all the time so if he is who speculation says he is then will it be a one-off appearance or do we think he could be tempted back again next year (if plotlines allow)?

If the character is who the rumours say he is then it'd be one off appearances which schedule allowing he'd probably be up for. He said he wouldn't do another schedule like LoM which was pretty punishing for the poor sod.

Watch an episode of LoM (Except the last one). Pay close attention to how many scenes feature Simms.

Still only 8 episodes a year

Doctor Who is 13 episodes and 9 solid months of shooting.

I've just been reading the episode guide in the Radio Times. No real huge spoilers but it did sortof confirm one unlikely rumour I'd read about Jack's return. If it's true it's pure Jack

I dunno about you but I'm bricking it

That's a Macra for the uninitiated

And with a single bound the meme crosses genre.

You know, I got a feeling, in 5 centuries time, people will wonder where the hell that expression came from.
