Pearl Mackie

Sold in the room!

But apparently no luck with any of the 11th Doctor cast. That bums me out a bit.

Smith and Gillan are big stars now, so that's understandable. Arthur Darville or Jenna Coleman would have been welcome sights.

Who am I kidding, I want to see everyone...

Perusing the stories about this on the official website and Radio Times, it's frustrating and concerning that they're (a) not giving the actual release date for some reason, and (b) not saying whether it will go up on YouTube like the other episodes of Unleashed have this season.

True. We have a couple of weeks until June, though. Hopefully something will be announced before then?

  1. It's "Eccleston".
  2. I think you're projecting. Eccleston's issues were with production of the show during his tenure, not with a 20/20 vision of its "direction".
  3. Modern Doctor Who has literally been going for 20 years. That's 2½ Game of thrones. In what Bizarro universe does that constitute "the wrong direction"?
