This whole episode was worth it simply for the moment that strain of “Bad Wolf” played. Total chills. Closest we’ll ever get to having 9 back on TV.

Is no-one else bothered by the fact that Moffat has revealed one of the most canon-defining episodes ever was basically rattled off out of nowhere?

One that only seem to get used in my circles in and around Kingston-upon-Thames in South London:
Can we get a thread going on who should be the next Wolverine? Jackman has NEVER been right but I have continually racked my brains and never come up with an actor who I think could do the short, ugly Canadian justice.
I felt "Tin Tin" meets "Wallace and Gromit" meets "Courage the Cowardly Dog"
My only qualm with Idris Elba would be that Bond is a well spoken public school boy. Elba makes his living being a pretty rough-and-ready Cockney. The only exception I can think of is Heimdall, and that kind of faux-posh old timey accent is not something that I think would go down well!
Anyone else getting a "Troll Hunter" vibe?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Worst attempted subversion of a stereotype coming soon: casting a woman as The Doctor in a forced, hackneyed attempt to subvert the dominance of white males.
I think the villains in "Taken" are a great example of this. Straight-up indiscriminate sex-traffickers who just happen to abduct Liam Neeson's daughter. I think that's part of why the film is enjoyed so widely, even when it is actually just a very average action flick - it's just Neeson battering career criminals…
We wouldn't have half of the sequences depicted in that trailer if it had been one film.
Why is everyone complaining about Tiger Lily being white when all that people seem to have to say about previous versions of Peter Pan is how racist the representation of the Indians was? What do you want them to do, just cast a black actress and lazily shift from one ethnic minority to another?
The Queen of Sheba's significance is down to the fact that she is an exceptionally prosperous Gentile ruler who is drawn to visit Israel because of how prosperous God has made his people. A lot of commentators view that story as the peak of the Old Testament because Israel is being ruled by a good king, enjoying God's…
That's a pretty unfair comparison. There WAS no one catalyst for WW1. But Jesus was either married or he wasn't, and we've got a pretty clear picture of the marital status of people a LOT older than him.
Yes there are several, but the differences between them and the canonical gospels are pretty pronounced and the dating and proliferation of the manuscripts has nothing on those of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
How does a document like this even make headlines? Utter joke. Whatever your religious position, putting this in the same category as the four canonical gospels is just ignorant.
"Not excited because the Doctor isn't being played by a woman" - says no one, months later.
I always assumed sunrise?
