    I can't get anything but a blank page here. Any chance somebody could copy the text here?

    “I’m devastated to have to tell you that due to a severe neck injury, which has made it impossible for me to sing & move, I’ve been rushed to hospital for a diagnosis. The Doctors have advised me to not perform this weekend while I try and recover, so I’ve had to make the very difficult decision to cancel my performances at the Bristol Hippodrome on Saturday 30th November and at the SEC Armadillo, Glasgow, on Sunday 1st December.

    I am so disappointed and upset as I was looking forward to seeing you all, I feel I am letting everyone down, but it’s simply not possible for me to do the show in my current condition. We have thankfully managed to open the Oxford New Theatre concert (Sat 14th December) for Bristol audience members to transfer to, and we have managed to move the Glasgow date to Tues 3rd December so I really hope you will be able to still see me have A Fabulous Christmas. All my love, John x”

    "Just got the new SFX through the door with a Doctor Who article inside. Producer Nikki Wilson confirms there will be "Several two parters" and "More of a serial arc" which is great to hear."

     

    The Chibnall interview has not been scanned because the original person who scanned it didn't want to cut into RadioTimes's sales. Apparently didn't say anything new for anyone who's already heard spoilers

    ETA: Someone did end up scanning it

    I'm one of those who didn't like S11 overall, but I've got to admit some of these episode descriptions sound really interesting.  Between the trailer and those descriptions, I'm feeling optimistic about S12.

    I'm totally looking forward to Series 12. As a newcomer to Who, I loved Series 11, even some of the weaker episodes, but I know and acknowledge there was room for improvement. From the stuff I've read so far, it appears things are being taken up a few levels in 12 and I'm here for it

    in Doctor Who

    So as I said before I've pieced together various spoilers and trailer info into a document to try to get a sense on what's happening in which episode to pass the time before official announcements are made. Just to caution, episode order could change some. Just some basic stuff for now:

    Episode 1: Spy caper. Supposed threat is Cyborgs (different from Cybermen). As trailer shows/assumes, Stephen Fry and Lenny Henry guest, Team Tardis in tuxes. Supposedly written by Chris Chibnall and directed by Jamie Stone. Supposed to premiere New Year's Day

    Episode 2: WWII Paris, 1943. This may be the one that includes British Muslim spy Noor Inayat Khan. Supposed to be a loose tie-in with Episode 1, though likely just Team Tardis landing here after 1st episode, because trailer shows Doctor is still in her tux. Supposedly directed by Lee Haven Jones, writer possibly Maxine Alderton

    Episode 3: Little is known, may involve monster in a tunnel. Supposedly written by Ed Hime and directed by Lee Haven Jones

    Episode 4: Victorian-era story set in New York City involving Florence Nightingale. Team Tardis in Victorian clothes. Supposedly involves alien Queen named Skithra or Queen of Skithra race that is scorpion-like creatures. Goran Visnjic, supposedly playing Tesla, Maxim Baldry reportedly plays John Polidori. Writer possibly Nina Métivier/Director unknown

    Episode 5: Sea Devils/maybe plastic waste issue. Supposedly directed by Jamie Stone, writer possibly Charlene Jones. May be the episode that we see from the trailer where the Doctor runs on the beach towards a body in the water

    Episode 6: Judoon episode. Possibly includes a Time Lord on the lam named Ruth. Possibly written by Pete McTighe or Chris Chibnall, director unknown

    Episode 7: Base-under-siege story, with a scary creature that can go through walls. Might be the episode seen in the trailer where something is trying to get into the Tardis. Possibly directed by Emma Sullivan, writer might be Pete McTighe if he didn't do Episode 6

    Episode 8: Mary Shelley/Cyberman story, early 1800s. Supposedly where companion captured and nearly killed/upgraded. Possibly directed by Emma Sullivan, writer might be Vinay Patel

    Episode 9: unknown plot. Possibly written by Chris Chibnall

    Episode 10: Finale. Unknown plot. Possibly two-parter with 9 but uncertain. Possibly written by Chris Chibnall and directed by Jamie Stone

    According to the actress’s CV, Yaz’s sister will be in an episode directed by Jamie Stone

    Based on what I’ve heard around so far and the trailer, I’ve put together a document of the basic plot/alien/threat of most of the episodes, though episode order is not certain in some cases. I’ll try to share it sometime this week

     

    British actress Nasreen Hussain will be a guest in Series 12, announced by her talent agency and the actress herself on Twitter. I have no idea who she is

    More take with a grain of salt spoilers until we hear it officially: 

    Some more guest stars that I'm hearing about:

    Craig Parkinson, Gwyneth Keyworth, and Will Austin

    I don't know the above three I don't think, but another one I'm hearing is Sean Bean and I totally know who he is.

    There appears to be two Time Lords this season. I think it's the Judoon episode where they hunt a renegade female Time Lord named Ruth. The other is here and there throughout the season, that's all I'll say for now

    That looks great. I'm excited. I enjoyed series 11 and am looking forward to series 12. 

    I didn't mind not having familiar villains last time but am excited to see some this time. The Judoon and Cybermen. 

    I too loved Series 11 and totally look forward to Series 12.

    I don't understand the criticism that Series 11 was bad because it didn't have arcs, two-parters, or returning monsters. Surely people could manage without all that for one season? It's like they felt their security blankets were taken away or something. I think Chibnall felt that simplifying things for his first series would welcome old fans back and entice new fans and I think he was right about that, plus they were a new team and probably wanted to get settled in and are now taking things up several notches with their second season

     

    I really love the response from the fans and the media on the S12 trailer. It's been mostly overwhelmingly positive, though there seems to be a tiny minority that hates it or thinks it's meh. And the media seems to have covered it and the 56th anniversary pretty well. The only real fly in the ointment was BBC America not having a Doctor Who marathon yesterday instead of the Saturday marathon nature programming they've committed to

    For British viewers, show producer Matt Strevens made a slightly cryptic tweet in response to the BBC’s tweet about the Series 12 trailer coming this morning: “Also keep your eye’s on the telly Saturday night. Keep dancing.”

    People have interpreted that as the Series 12 trailer (or possibly something similar) will be shown before or after Strictly Come Dancing

     

    The current cast has done a short congrats video for Doctor Who Day and the show’s 56th anniversary

     

    1 minute trailer of Series 12 released. You can find it in the S12 topic

    It doesn't show any where in BBCA listings for me on Saturday. 🙁

    Probably just online to start. Then you’ll probably start to see some part of it during or after shows
