Hello,

I hope I don't get in trouble with anything here, but...

I noticed in the cast list for the upcoming last two episodes of the incumbent series (a UNIT double bill, for which I'm hoping that they've gone back to their Golden Years (#3 and early #4) selves), and it looks like there's a female Corporal Sullivan appearing.

I guess I have two questions with this revelation:

1. Is she going to be Harry Sullivan's daughter or whatever?

2. With her presence, where does that leave Harry Sullivan III, as somebody on Twitter called him? This is the guy from 2017's Knock Knock, who the writers have said is the OG's grandson. Has he been erased from the timeline or what?

What do you reckon is going to happen?

The new Season premieres in two weeks and three days time on Saturday 11th May 2024. This premiere also aligns (on linear television) on the night of the final of the 2024 Eurovision song contestant with the BBC marketing it as a “Whorovision” night! Whorovision Night will see the first two episodes “Space Babies” and “The Devil’s Chord” airing back-to-back, as such I for one am guessing that both episodes will have their BBC IPlayer premiere at midnight!:

(Great to know that I could well be running twice as late with BGT auditions and possibly even The 1% Club on too that night. I’ll have to see whether or not I can get to them both before the linear premiere).

Sidenote: I would usually try to use a BBC Source, however they haven’t published anything about it and as such I’ve been forced to use the Digital Spy source (This weeks issue of What’s on TV magazine also teases this too by the way). I think the BBC have an advert out that confirms that to be the release date though.

This. I can’t go into more detail outside of the comments of the post as that’s when we enter Spoiler territory.

Before anyone says anything, yes I’m well aware that I’m two days late (if only it released a day earlier then it would’ve been a surprise birthday present for me from the BBC & Doctor Who Official YouTube Channel). Anyway without further ado here is the second trailer!

Oh boy...

The first 5 titles alone feel like Season 1 rejects coming back from the grave. But who knows, maybe they'll make sense once we see the context of why those episodes were named the way they were.

However, the last 3 episodes sound exciting and I can't wait to see them. What does everyone else think?

Odd choice to pick a random fifth Doctor PDA to adapt but I am sure it’ll do the original novel justice.

This.

Please feel free to discuss below, as a Trailer though this will indeed contain some potential Spoilers towards the series in order to generate hype for it, so if you don’t wish to read them please don’t click on the post in order to see the responses. Now you cannot complain as you’ve been warned about the contents of this discussion thread!

I mean seriously we ain't even got Series 14 yet and already they're announcing a new companion for Series 15 like fr, Ruby hasn't even become a full companion yet and they already talking about a exit for Series 15. This literally history repeating itself like when Chris leaving after Series 1 before after the 1st episode dropped full series didn't even happen or somebody can time travel and knew who was the next companion after Ruby (They probably knew who's the next showrunner after RTD or the next doctor gonna be a female).

I was rewatching the giggle again and when I got to the regeneration part I realized something that made me a bit sad…

The last three regenerations have all had the same cause of death.

12: laser from cyberman

13: laser from the master

14: laser from the toymaker

I’m a bit disappointed now because up until this point we only had two occasions where doctors died of similar causes

First, War, 11: old age

3 and 10: radiation poisoning

But these were far enough apart that (excluding war and 11) that it didn’t feel like rehashing. But having three regenerations in a row be caused by lasers feels a bit lazy and generic.

Now that I’ve noticed that I want to hear what others think, I just like when they’d get more creative with the causes of regeneration.

Heres hoping that Ncuti will have a better cause of regeneration

Most likely scenario: the infamous bio-regeneration rumour is only half true, and said regeneration will only be temporary. Fourteen and Fifteen will team up to defeat the Toymaker, after which Fourteen will fuse back into Fifteen, Watcher style.

More outlandish variant: temporary bio-regeneration… but it's Donna that (temporarily) takes on Fifteen's appearance, which would honestly explain Fifteen's kinda un-Doctorish "what the hell is going on here??"

…what if the Fourteenth Doctor is actually going to do what "Fred"/the Nicolas Briggs Doctor did in "Cyber-Hunt"?

EDIT: tfw you get your Nicholases mixed up.
