Thanks.

It supports the theory that there is something strange going
on with Isaac Newton. His housekeeper and the Steeleye Span
fan in the pub really are the same woman, not just played by
the same actress, and she’s ‘a woman we’ll see a lot more of’
in future.

Yes, I got the impression that the Isaac Newton scene was not as it
seems. Mainly because Donna didn't know the word "gravity" in Wild
Blue Yonder when the Doctor said it, he then the corrected it to
"mavity".

I think RTD has laid the groundwork for a LOT of things that will be
explained in Season One... or even Season Two.

It’s probably gonna start on 18 May, the weekend after
Eurovision. The world isn’t ready for the camp cheesiness
if both shows on the same night!

Some might say Ncuti Gatwa dancing around in a kilt as the Doctor

I could be wrong. That’s just my own personal speculation.

You can read the scripts now though can't you? So there's no excuse
not to know what went on!

No, I imagine SP actually means Steeleye Span! As in, the folk band
that is called Steeleye Span!

[Blueshirt]

It's as good as any at the moment...

Yes, of course... you'll be able to access it anytime on the iPlayer.

I actually think it could be on the same night as the Eurovision. I
could see RTD liking that idea.

Blueshirt brought forth:

Yes. Thank you.

The woman mentions Steeleye Span and asks for their
song Gaudette.

Why bother with Chakotya? The BBC have supplied the actual script in
PDF form to read or download...

I'm just thinking it's the sort of thing that RTD - and the BBC -
might like the idea of... but like SP, I'm only speculating.

The FA Cup Final is the 25th May...

Which is the last Saturday of May, so I'd say Season One would have
started by then.

[The Doctor]

In article <xn0oi3s6t...@news.eternal-september.org>,

One is PDF, the other HTML.

Your choice.

[The Doctor]

In article <xn0oi3sfg...@reader.xsnews.nl>,

Eurovision, the FA Cup.

Then it could all start 4 May while we want on election results.

Yes I know, of course everyone can choose.

What I meant was, now that the BBC are supplying the actual scripts,
people and fans interested in writing/scripts and that sort of thing
would probably prefer to view and/or download the actual script than
read a HTML transcript.

The Chakotya site has served us well over the years for checking
stuff from Doctor Who episodes out but now the BBC are providing us
with the official scripts for the episodes, all in one place. I
think it's great.

Eurovision doesn't usually start until 8pm, maybe 7:30pm? Whilst the
FA Cup Final usually kicks off at 3pm, so neither would really clash
with any Doctor Who episode if they was on around 6pm ish.

I'd say it won't be too long before the BBC Spring schedules are
out, so we'll find out soon.

Very nice!

What I want to ask you specifically though, what's different between
this post from you, and the other one that didn't arrive here? Any idea
at all? This bugs me!

(Were the others crossposts too?)
