Just wrapped production and set to be broadcast in 2021 https://deadline.com/2020/11/genius-aretha-wraps-production-premiere-date-2021-nat-geo-1234622040/

From Radio Times special issue on the upcoming special Revolution of the Daleks, producers Chibnall and Strevins talk about the changed Dalek design and how Revolution is a sequel to Resolution https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2020-12-05/doctor-who-chris-chibnall-daleks-big-rt-interview/ Cultbox analyzes several new promo images, some posted above, and director Lee Haven Jones talks about the Doctor’s time in prison https://cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/doctor-who-revolution-of-the-daleks-new-photos-released

I thought that was an interesting choice. They aren’t ignoring that Covid happened but they decided to put it in the past What a sweet ending with Baez at the family dinner

More promo pics from the special

Per RadioTimes, the cast promises big shocks and tears shed in the festive special https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2020-12-04/doctor-who-big-shocks-surprises/

Sad. I had expected it would maybe last another season or two without America, but this is sooner than i thought, plus it’s a shortened season. I hope the producers had enough time to craft a good ending

I figured given comments by the handler in past episodes, the dog was going to end up being retired

Per Digital Spy, Jodie and Chibnall talk about that first lockdown speech with Jodie as the Doctor https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a34840897/doctor-who-jodie-whittaker-explains-covid-message/

Per an interview in Radio Times, the special, which was filmed in late 2019, will not reference the pandemic, but Chibnall considered adding some references via pickup shots before deciding against it. Also, he confirmed the 70 minute running time https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2020-12-02/doctor-who-special-coronavirus/

I learned within the last few years they were really related to raccoons (or skunks) and the like and not to giant pandas. Not sure about the foul substance. They are so darn cute and apparently much more safe to handle than the giant pandas given their size

Probably a typo that was meant to be "ones" referring to several types

BBC One will show the Doctor Who special from 18:45 (6:45pm) to 20:00 (8:00pm) on Jan 1, a 75 minute running time TV Guide (so US-centric) named "Fugitive of the Judoon" as one of the 15 best episodes of TV in 2020 https://www.tvguide.com/news/features/15-best-episodes-tv-2020/

There were a few good performances, but overall, the night was pretty underwhelming for me

According to TVLine, Ryan is still with the show, but he broke the show’s Covid protocols and wasn’t allowed to perform. The article said he’ll explain soon ETA: I guess you have to read the article carefully. It sounds like Ryan has been dropped and didn’t choose to leave because of breaking the Covid protocols, but it’s not entirely clear https://tvline.com/2020/11/30/the-voice-recap-live-playoffs-top-17-sid-kingsley-carter-rubin/

I feel it’s a pretty weak show overall and I’m only halfway through. Even my boy Carter didn’t impress me much

Belay that. The episode will indeed be shown on Tuesday now that the NFL game has been moved yet again, this time to Wednesday afternoon

It sounds like the results show is back to tomorrow night since the NFL game has been moved again to Wed afternoon

I wonder why Ryan had to exit before tonight’s show?

My station interrupted twice in the final 10-15 minutes for weather alerts so it looks like I’m going have to catch up tomorrow on ABC.com

More articles and interviews on the special Radio Times: Mandip says there’s more to come about Yaz’s mental health struggles https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2020-11-30/doctor-who-yaz-mental-health-series-13/ Doctor Who Page tweet BBC media release with Q&A of Chibnall and the cast. They make it official that Brad and Tosin are leaving https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/mediapacks/revolution-of-the-daleks My take on how Graham and Ryan leave is that neither die like I’ve seen some speculate. I think they’ve readjusted to life on Earth after they separate from the Doctor and they decide not to travel with her anymore. The goodbyes will be very sad

It's not entirely clear the BBC timeslot for the upcoming special, though it will likely be around 8pm on New Year's Day. BBC America has announced the US showing will start at 8pm ET/PT. BBC America's press release, which includes cast/guest cast info http://thefutoncritic.com/news/2020/11/29/its-happy-who-year-once-again-as-doctor-who-returns-on-new-years-day-with-dalek-filled-special-775202/20201129bbca01/

Be aware that this week’s episode will be shown on Thursday to make way for a re-scheduled NFL game on Tuesday

FYI, this Tuesday’s results show will be shown on Thursday to make way for a re-scheduled NFL game
