Link: Doctor Who confirmed to have a Christmas special [Digital Spy]

 

The Doctor Who Christmas special tradition will definitely be continuing this year!

 

There had been some doubt recently about whether the BBC had decided to shelve the annual festive episode since series 11 is expected to air in the autumn, but the good news for fans is that they will still get their holiday treat.

 

Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall and executive producer Matt Strevens confirmed the jolly news during a press conference with Digital Spy and other media ahead of their Hall H panel at Comic-Con International...

It, er, it wasn't an ActivPanel pen I first thought of when I saw it. Tell me I'm not the only one!

 

What a design to give the first female Doctor :redface:

 

You are not, quite a few people thought that as well with this certainly different design choice.

It did look significantly more ooh-err from the concept art, but in-the-hand it doesn't look as bad.

Still not a prop I'd like to leave out when Granny comes to visit, though!

 

I feel like the idea was to go more towards the idea that the TARDIS and by extension, screwdriver, are grown, and they wanted to give this a bit more of a 'biological' look, a union of machine and nature, whereas the previous screwdrivers have all been overwhelmingly mechanical.

Link: BBC Seeks Microsoft Subpoena Over Leaked 'Doctor Who' Footage [Hollywood Reporter]

 

The BBC has gone to a Washington court in a bid to track down the source of a major Doctor Who leak earlier this year and is pursuing tech giant Microsoft for information.

 

Ahead of Jodie Whittaker’s full-season debut as the first female Time Lord, footage from the debut episode was leaked online.

 

According to recently discovered court papers published by TorrentFreak, the footage was stored and subsequently shared on file-hosting service OneDrive, which is operated by Microsoft. The papers state that the petitioner, referred to as “BBC Worldwide Limited t/a BBC Studios (Distribution),” requests the court to subpoena Microsoft with regards to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

 

The request seeks to “identify an alleged infringer or infringers“ of material from episode 1 of Doctor Who season 11 (though not limited to, which suggests more leaked footage could be out there), which was discovered on OneDrive....

Sunday Times Culture magazine believes that it has the date that Jodie Whittaker's Doctor goes to air:

That would be odd. With the 23rd being a Sunday it seems strange that the BBC would move it from its regular Saturday night slot.

Doctor Who was rumoured to be moving to a Sunday night way back in February so I wasn't surprised. Blame it on Strictly! :)

Doctor Who could be time travelling for real this year – from Saturday nights to Sundays.

 

The show launched on a Saturday teatime in 1963 and while other slots have been tried over the decades it has always returned to its original position.

 

But in recent years the BBC series has struggled in the autumn ratings because Strictly Come Dancing forces it later into the evening, meaning the youngest fans lose out.

 

Viewing figures of 7.3million in 2014 dropped to 5.5million last year.

 

The next series, in which Jodie Whittaker makes her debut as the Time Lord, is also the first for new show runner Chris Chibnall and insiders say pushing the show back 24 hours may prove attractive.

 

Our on-set spy reveals: “On Saturdays everything has to fit around Strictly.

 

“Moving Doctor Who to a Sunday could make perfect sense. It is a serious option.”
