Excellent choice!

Very good... a great choice!!!

Let me also voice my pleasure in hearing this. Maybe we will see the masked Sutekh figure at SDCC now!

I like watching the tributes to each Dr but they aren't long enough. You can't really delve into it with any depth. And watching the Tom Baker one they only mentioned Sarah and Leela and K-9 as his companions. They didn't even acknowledge Romana.

And showing the Zygons first as one of his enemies was sheer marketing. They were never my favorite or anything.

So, if you really know NOTHING about the Drs this barely fills the bill.

They should've mentioned Romana, but these are supposed to whet the appetites of casual fans not be exhaustive retrospectives for die-hard fans.

although a lot of info regarding Tom Bakers 7 years onscreen was missed I thought it was all very enjoyable. Good to see the Zygons mentioned for marketing, nice little plug there for the upcoming 50th....

My son (6 years old) said that the Mummies were better than the journey to the center of the TARDIS lol

Earthshock Sunday, May 26th.

Vengeance on Varos on Saturday, June 29th at 7:30.

They changed it up on us this month...

Interesting choice. I would have gone with Attack of the Cybermen.

Oh well.

Im looking forward to hearing Colin talk about his tenure and how the BBC handled it.

I believe the new season of "Copper" (as referenced in the compressed-credits of "Earthshock" ) is premiering on the 30th. That may be why the 6th Doctor (and likely the 7th and 8th) will be seen on "Supernatural Saturday."

I'm surprised they didn't go with "Revelation of the Daleks" simply because they haven't run a Dalek story yet.

I think they will do Remembrance for the 7th, but who knows.

It has already been announced that Remembrance is the chosen title.

Now, what will they choose for the 8th Doctor? I wonder

Shada??

Oh man, I don't want to deal with Eric Roberts as the Master again...

Did anyone catch the Sixth Doctor special on BBCA? I thought it was interesting how every questionable aspect of the Sixth Doctor's era was justified/explained away by the narrator essentially blaming the 1980s. It was also very interesting how the Valeyard was not mentioned at all. I thought possible future Doctors were all the rage these days...
