Holy wow, Dot and Bubble. I don't know that the previous iterations of the show - or any show for a family audience - would have been as bold. This one is absolutely not holding back. #doctorwho

Of course, there's no metric system in the future:
You think some of today's stories and tie-ins are a bit weird? The DALEK World is a wonderful little time capsule which shows what kids were devouring just a couple of years after Doctor Who first aired. If you can find a copy, I thoroughly recommend having a ruffle through it.
It will never ever, ever happen because he's not British, but I swear to God, Guillermo Del Toro is possibly the best person on the planet to helm #DoctorWho right now.
Just give us ONE season of Del Toro Who. It could be glorious.
I think I need to watch it another time (or two) but #DoctorWho#73yards isn't vibing with me like it is for most others in my orbit
While it raises many questions that are intriguing and are fun to speculate about, I think there's one question that is bugging me to the point of getting in the way of my enjoyment of the episode
This week, we find ourselves completely unable to connect and terrified of being abandoned by everyone we’ve ever cared about. Fortunately there’s an excellent episode of Doctor Who to cheer us up.
