...being on Disney Plus now, this is a very deliberate choice to bring back an old BBC enemy – we've even cast the same actor [Gabriel Woolf] – to prove that the show hasn't severed its roots. To delve into your backstory is a very fine thing. That's thrilling for new viewers, and for old viewers it's a great reward.

Also, you're guaranteed that the internet will do your work for you. In the old days, you could feasibly have said, 'Will people know who Sutekh is?' Now, it's on our official site. It's on our Instagram posts. Type in the word 'Sutekh' and there's an entire Wikipedia article, full of the history.

I have to agree - the show was pretty gorgeous during the Chibnall era, despite the reportedly smaller budget.

Pulling off space epics with a bit of bubblewrap, that's a Who tradition 😄

Edit: "a load of painted cargo pallets and a bit of bubblewrap". Let's be fair.
