Mark really stepped in it and I don’t know how they are going to resolve things with so few episodes left. The series finale is Nov 18

Not on TV or streaming. I’m not sure if the show will continue to be available for digital purchase on Amazon Video or ITunes the day after like before; we’ll have to wait to see what happens there You can also subscribe for just a month or two to watch the show, then cancel until the next season

Fortunately no preemption of the show for me on the East Coast

Program note: The news event I previously mentioned will continue at 2:15pm ET so it's quite likely the media will continue to break in and report on it so expect a preemption of today's episode but let's hope not

Disney+ is indicating Ncuti’s first Christmas special will be on Christmas Day and is called “The Church on Ruby Road”

Update: Apparently set to happen this morning according to GMA

Note, the episode could get fully or partially preempted today for news coverage of a certain event in New York City. But I’m unsure of the timing, whether morning or afternoon

October 26 episode: Finn and Elizabeth are nice together, but at the same time the relationship comes off as too juvenile, like they are 12 year olds who find they “like like” each other I’m glad Sasha decided to stay Nice musical montage at the end

October 24 episode: I appreciate that Martin warned Michael that Nina could end up being dangerous if he tries to hurt her further Cyrus definitely showed his dangerous side to Mason

During Thursday’s show, Stephen announced he interviewed Barbra Streisand and will show it on November 13 Willie Nelson did not sound good to me in his performance on Wednesday’s show I believe. He was rather hoarse. Is that just a temp thing or is that how he sounds now? He is now 90 after all

The details are in the articles. Cut down to a 75 minute movie, new score, etc. but the original will still be available on iPlayer

Urgh, unwanted, but not really a surprise given they can’t really afford the show

The Daleks serial colorized and updated and to be shown on BBC4 https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/drwho60-daleksann1 https://www.gamesradar.com/doctor-who-dalek-color-release/

Streamer owned mostly by Disney and less by Comcast (1/3 stake) And that ownership is about to change, with Disney agreeing to buy Comcast out for $8.6 billion by December 1 I believe http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2023/11/01/the-walt-disney-company-to-purchase-remaining-stake-in-hulu-from-comcast-579014/20231101disney04/

It’s possible the site reporting the season relabeling may have misinterpreted what Davies said in SFX and he was just referring to what labeling they use internally. We’ll have to see Cultbox reports on filming for Ncuti’s second season’s Christmas special and 2 new guest stars https://cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/nicola-coughlan-and-joel-fry-film-doctor-who-in-cardiff ETA: Excerpts from SFX have been posted online and it does say Davies is saying the labeling is being reset to Season 1 and knows it’s controversial
