DOCTOR WHO Season 1 Teaser Hints at the Beatles and the Return of Mel & Rose Noble

 
Will the Beatles sing a rendition of "She Loves Who" (Yeah Yeah Yeah)?

The Doctor Who team has released a 30-second teaser for the upcoming Season 1/Series 14/Season 40 of Doctor Who, the first season featuring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as new companion Ruby Sunday.

The teaser opens with the Doctor and Ruby inside the spacious new TARDIS console room, with the Doctor telling Ruby they're heading "Into the vortex." 

"I have the whole universe at my fingertips," exclaims the Doctor in a voiceover as we see the Doctor and Ruby traveling back to the Regency Era featuring guest star Indira Varma, playing a character called "the Duchess."

Next, we're off to Abbey Road Studios in the 1960s, where we see four mop-toped lads from Liverpool about to take it from the top, hinting that the Doctor may finally get to meet the Beatles.

In another voiceover, someone tells Ruby, "Ruby, there are powers beyond the universe" as we see drag queen Jinkx Monsoon in villainous form. Ruby seems to reply, "Are you getting scared 'cause you're just babbling now?"

As we see various monsters in fleeting images, we glimpse the Fifteenth Doctor riding on the back of Melanie Bush's motorbike as he yells, "Mel, faster!"

The Doctor tells Ruby, "No job. No boss. Just fun" as we then see him give an exuberant hug to Rose Noble (Yasmin Finney) as they reunite at UNIT's new headquarters.

Lastly, as we see the Doctor hugging Ruby in the doorway of the TARDIS, we hear him say in another voiceover, "I'd love it if you came with me."

Doctor Who returns for the new Season 1 in Spring 2024.

NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 303: "The Giggle" Is Up!

 
"Don't go thinking you've got an excuse. The human race might be clever, and bright, and brilliant -- it's also savage, and venal, and relentless. All the anger out there on the streets! The lies, the righteousness, that's human, that's you! That's who you are! Using your intelligence to be stupid. Poisoning the world! And hating each other, you've never needed any help with that! But today, something else is using your worst attributes. Playing with you. Like toys."
-- The Fourteenth Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Giggle"

Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we're joined by special guest DJ Nik to discuss "The Giggle", the third Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Special, featuring David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor, Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, Neil Patrick Harris as the Toymaker, and the introduction of Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor!

DRUNK CINEMA 054: "The Maltese Falcon (1941)" Is Up!

 
"When a man's partner is killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you're supposed to do something about it. And it happens, we're in the detective business. Well, when one of your organization gets killed, it's -- it's bad business to let the killer get away with it, bad all around, bad for every detective everywhere."
