We’re also promised the new release – which will air on BBC Four and be available on BBC iPlayer – will feature “recovered footage not seen since the original broadcast”.

I see you've done up the TARDIS a bit — I don't like it

    A regeneration is cool, but I hope they go fairly minimalist with it. I like the more…explosive regenerations of the modern era well enough, but I don’t think they need to be retconned into past ones.

      I really hope they’ll do the old fade-aroo like in classic Who…

      Oh no wait — after the 60th specials RTD was raving about all the past regenerations potentially being bigenerations? And 2 into 3 was always the vaguest?

      …he wouldn’t, would he?
