Just wow, the visual quality is amazing.

Definitely a better viewing experience in 4K on Disney+ than it would have been on iview.
I wonder how it fairs on BBC and iPlayer

It’s a shame they didn’t upscale the flashback footage from Series 4 in the Doctor’s opening monologue. It’s night and day going from crystal clear to fuzzy SD.

It’s sad we’re only getting three episodes of Fourteen and Donna

But, I’m excited for what Ncuti’s era brings us

In the words of Monty Python, “Dear sir, I wish to complain…”.

Only 100? Barely a blip on the radar.

They just love to whinge about everything.

Have they completely forgot his wife and daughter?

His wife has popped up in various timelines and in his different forms. However, she has died in one of those timelines. In theory, her earlier self could pop up again but that would be harder to pull off if the actress looks older now.

His daughter has never been mentioned again. I think they said that because she was a clone made from his DNA, she was more like an echo rather than a fully fledged Time Lord. She died in his arms which is the reason why he never looked for her again. She didn’t revive or regenerate. But at the end of that episode she does revive and is seen taking off in a spaceship.

Back in Series 10 the Twelfth Doctor called the Master his “man crush” when they were younger and both male, and that Time Lords are gender-fluid and beyond humanity’s obsessions over gender and its stereotypes.

Nobody lost their heads back then. Why do people suddenly have an issue now?

Because people are actively looking for it, saying Doctor Who has an agenda, suits their agenda.

Wait until the next Doctor arrives, played by Ncuti Gatwa, a Rwandan-Scottish black actor who is queer.

It’s popped up on the Disney+ banner for me today. Are these targeted at you based on an algorithm of what you’ve watched before?

It was so hard to find any Doctor Who two weeks ago but now it’s up front.
