      Reminds me of 50 First Dates (and spoilers for that, it's been 19 years so you really don't have an excuse), when Drew Barrymore's character stops being with Adam Sandler's character, and even though she has the weird super amnesia that resets her memory each night when she sleeps, he's been such a big part of her life that she can recognize that there's an Adam Sandler-shaped hole in her experiential memories that she's struggling to define

    Let's also not forget that the name "Albion" has been used multiple times in DW, most notably in NuWho in The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances as the name of the hospital where the child was taken. Of course Albion is also an old name for Great Britain as well, so the references could be endless.
    I loved the skinny man line. One of my favorite Donna-isms is "He's so skinny, when you give him a hug you get a paper cut!" And Sylvia's reaction was priceless. So Sylvia, just like in The End of Time when Donna asked her mum if she was shouting at thin air and Sylvia replied "Possibly..." This aspect of her makes a sometimes unlovable character more lovable.
    Miriam Margolyes as Beep the Meep? Omg, that would be hilarious. Yes please. (Btw, if you haven't read her memoir, please do. She reads the audio version and it's great.) Cheers.

    The skinny man thing is obviously a reference to when donna used to say the doctor was skinny. Its just a case of people being offended without knowing the context.
    The same thing happened when matt smith regenerated. He’s examining his body saying “oh ive got hands, legs” etc. then says “.. and still not ginger!”. Some were offended thinking he was glad as being ginger would be a bad thing. No it was another reference to tennant being disappointed not to be ginger. Get the facts right before complaining!

    If I was to guess by the time Donna is houting skinny man, the Doctor has likely interacted with Rose, Sylvia and hopefully Wilf. Strange things are going on with her family and shes seen the doctor from a distance. Like she's visiting her mother and sees a skinny man walking from. The house and her mother is upset.
    She's asked her family who he is and called him thin to discribe him, they have denied knowing him so she is now shouting skinny man in a "I knew there was a skinny man hanging around" sort of way.

    I think the “Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on here‽” seems very Donna in idiom and delivery. I wonder if the Doctor has figured how to pull the meta Crisis from her and back into him. Fixes her and fixes his regeneration cycle. But he becomes a bit Donna-esque for a while.

  • @MichaelPhillipsatGreyOwlStudio

    I would like to see Sacha Dawan come back as the Master but with the revelation that all the versions of the Master we've seen since 2005 have come in between Roger Delgado and Peter Pratt's lich version. And the Master's disintegration is not necessarily caused by being on his last regeneration but because of a regenerative injury caused by his attempt to appropriate the Doctor's body and then being forcefully returned to his own. So, they could steadily add makeup to his face as he slowly disintegrates and becomes more and more desperate to recover the ability to regenerate somehow.

      People are getting offended over the word “skinny”. Seriously?? I’ve been called it so many times for being underweight and not eating as much as I should but I genuinely couldn’t care less. There has to be a point where we just ignore all this nonsense otherwise we won’t be able to have terms for anything or have jokes in media. If David Tennant hasn’t got a problem with it then I personally don’t think people should have a problem with it. It’s not going to keep you up at night is it?

      I understand if people are bullied for being skinny then being upset at being called that. But to be offended on behalf of a particular group is getting old. I’m overweight. I have been called fat many times in my life. Does it hurt sure but I’m not about to project that feeling on a thin person being called skinny because their experience may not be the same as mine. In our society people value thinness over heaviness. So maybe they don’t see it as negative. There just seems to be this culture online that are the professionally offended that look for things to complain about and are offended for all sub groups of people if they are mentioned. Let me be upset for myself if I find something offensive. If I don’t let it go.

So in this instance, she's been like a back up, portable hard drive for him? If he doesn't know who he is anymore, he won't remember the fob watch hidden deep in the bowels of the TARDIS either...

    Does anyone else think Ncuti Gatwa's words in his brief appearance sound a little like Donna? Is his regeneration possibly going to reabsorb the Time Lord part of the Doctor-Donna, therefore allowing her to be fully human and safely able to remember her missing time with the Doctor and all the good that will do her? I get the impression that RTD wants to give her character a sort of a healing, to tie up a loose plot thread from before, not to mention a kick start for Ncuti's new Who character in the process? (and different to Rose's human Doctor from Journey's End)

I think its more likely after the Jodie incarnations finale that the mortality of the doctors companions has made him realize there are things he can do to reverse some of the damage he's done. Hell the celestial toy maker was able to manifest entire worlds; Maybe this is a world where he's trying to torment the doctor knowing full well what would happen if he just "bumped" into donna which lets be honest...them just casually bumping into each other and him being in her living room isn't likely

    I'm feeling old. Dr Who wasn't quite 2 years-old when I was born. Stop saying 60 years-old please! 🤣
    It's exciting, isn't it?
    One thing regarding the increase in available funds for the show, there's a truism in many organisations (particularly in government departments!), that if you _haven't_ spent every penny that the budget gave you by the end of the fiscal year, your following year's budget will be slashed by the remaining amount. This is why you're more likely to get a pot hole fixed in Feb-March than any other time of the year. And no, the weather starting to get better has nothing to do with it. Hubby used to work for local government highways back in his late teens. I've worked in a number of government departments and it applies to them too. If you need something upgraded, you'll get it quicker if you ask in February!
    Back to the show, the BBC is renowned for counting the pennies. If they think episodes can be done for half the price, even the most complex CGI won't be given any extras if that budget has been slashed. Hence the excess spending on CGI because if they don't use it where it's not necessary, they won't have the cash for it for when top-flight CGI _is_ necessary! Hope this all makes sense!

    Everyone makes a controversy out of something nowadays. 🥴 Doctor Who history lesson; even in Donna's parallel universe, she dreamt of him so even with The Doctor's memory blockers that he left on her during Journey's End; a few things might seep through like it did for Amy when The Doctor banished himself from the Universe and everyone forgot about him in Series 5.
    And about this skinny man stuff; wasn't Capaldi referenced as Skinny Man occasionally? And Donna straight up says; "Skinny Boys In Suits" in Journey's End. If anything, this is basically saying that Donna kinda recognises him but can't place him. Because she's not remembering The Doctor, she's most likely trying to remember John Smith like he introduced himself to her memory wiped self.
    And NPH is not playing a different version of the Dream Lord. It's been confirmed for a while now that he's playing a Modern Version of the First Doctor's Villain; The Toymaker.

    I don't think that Neal Patrick Harris is playing the Celestial Toymaker. I think that due to copyright law there is a possibility that they might not be able to use the Toymaker. When Doctor Who began in the sixties the Beeb had a policy of allowing the writers to maintain the copyright to the characters of thier work; which means that writers like Terry Nation were able to maintain the copyright to the Daleks and Bob HOlmes was able to maintain the copyrights to the Autons, the Rutons and the Sontarans as well as the Master. In order to uses those characters in the revival the Beeb has had to ask permission from the estates of those writers to uses those characters. If they can not get permission or the writer didn't leave a will then they can't really use those characters. That is why they have not used the Rani. Pip and Jan Baker, who created her, died with out leaving a will and they can't use it.

    It’s so nice to have you both back and much as I appreciated Ellie taking the time to make a cameo in Sean’s last video it’s great to have her back in full mode. Ellie makes a good point about the budget allowing more more cinematic episodes to be made but it not necessarily making good ones. The reason it survived so long with no budget was good acting and scripts that didn’t rely on big effects but told good stories. R.T.D is a master at blending the two together and making it seem natural and the effects don’t pull us out of the plot by seeming out of place. The whole skinny man fuss is in my opinion just a tiny bit of the overall plot that because we don’t know the rest is out of context. I don’t find it offensive or strange we know that Donna has had memories leak through before maybe it’s all her mind can cope with. If she remembered more than that her head would explode and we don’t want that people are too easy to take offence at what is clearly a comedy moment. Great work as always and keep doing the Beep impersonation it’s hilarious to watch.

In fact sometimes i think we need to show more consideration for past generations. They did some very great things that we should not take for granted. I thought they almost patronised William Hartnell in The Power of the Doctor script. Every current generation seems to think they have everything right.

    Apropos of nothing in particular, I think it's worth noting that the trailer gives us an (apparent) antagonist that is played by a well known and generally well-liked American actor. While there have been Americans here and there on the show, I think it's interesting that RTG is coming out of the gate with NPH. If this is an indication of the sort of influence we'll be getting with Disney involved, I can't say I'm unhappy about it at all.

    I don't think she's shouting JUST "skinny man". I think it plays out in a way like this; Donna walks in and 14 hides, Donna starts asking who's that man? To which she getting relies like "huh" "who" "what are you talking about" until she finally shouts " THAT SKINNY MAN BEHIND YOU!" IT all makes sense and isn't "rude" really. It's just clipped, like al trailers.

Donna doesn't make it? What if they don't actually "fix things" and in the end she sacrifices herself to save the Doctor right after she remembers everything and this is the catalyst for why Rose ends up traveling with the Doctor?

    Just found you guys and subscribed. Love your channels! I'm an "old school" American fan of The Doctor. When I was a kid #4 Tom Baker was my Doctor. The first "Who" memory I have is of finding the show on PBS one day and seeing Pertwee regenerate. They ran the shows two at a time so I got the first Tom Baker episode right after and I was hooked for good! When David Tennant started I was just blown away. He's the modern equivilant of Tom Baker. So I'm super stoked he's back, no matter how much we get of him.I love the trailer, it looks more like a major motion picture than a TV show, in standard Russell style....Both you guys keep the coverage coming and I'll be watching. Your the best on UA-cam I've seen........Oh well....as with all "Who" questions the answers will be found "in time".... ALLONS-Y!!!!
