New news:

BBC Three announce cast for Doctor Who spin off - Class

I'm going to pass on this. I just have no interest in it.

I'll watch to see how it goes, but I'm cautious, and not expecting anything great.

I'll still watch it but I would much rather prefer Torchwood Series 5.

and now that I think about it I also really want William Russell to come back as Ian in Class. I really want to see him again.

It looks like there's a little more than an hour-and-a-half before we get the new companion announcement.

Well, I guess that's it until the Christmas special for this year :p

So, Pearl Mackie is the new companion.

Edit:

Unrelated, but the latest Doctor Who survey sent out by BBC Worldwide asks a few interesting questions.

Ehh. I'm sure the actor will be great, but that video showed me this will be everything I didn't want in a companion. Which looks to be pretty much the same thing we've got the last five times (most likely without the romance stuff this time, but its still the same old song and dance).

I'm not going to be excited until it isn't Moffat writing these two.

Yeah, I can't get excited about anything related to the show right now (Big Finish is another story) knowing we've got another series of Moffat to sit through. I'm also a little iffy on her acting. I know it's just a two minute clip, but I wasn't much impressed. Granted, I'm not going to finalize any judgements until we get full episodes to judge her by. I hope Capaldi sticks around for at least a season of Chibnall, though. I'm sad we never got to see Matt outside of Moffat's influence. Maybe one day he'll get to do some Big Finish. (And then I will finally get my Wilf and Eleven story! Hey, I can hope. :D )
