- We start out discussing the BBC's maddening tradition of not announcing air dates with any sense of timeliness. Of course in true Murphy's Law fashion, the episode was recorded the night before the BBC officially announced today the air dates of the new series. Nonetheless, enjoy our consternation of the date not being announced until the dead last second.

- We proceed with an in-depth discussion of:

- New trailers and stills

- Who is that mystery red-head

- 50th Anniversary docudrama

- Our spoilers cover the details of the Christmas Special filming and our companion's alleged full name and back story.

- Back from our spoilery discussion we leap into our mailbag, and answer questions from our listeners.
