I skipped watching everything from and including Capaldi’s last season, but I will probably try and watch this one. And I really like the kickback to the logo from Pertwee’s last season through to Baker #1’s second last season!

Only ever watched Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman. Kinda stopped watching a few episodes of the Peter Capaldi Doctor.

I did like Capaldi as the Doctor, but I stopped watching when they (continued to) made Davros a Sith knockoff. They even stole Vader’s “look at you with my own eyes” line…
Tennant was brilliant

Hijack
Apple TV+ | 28 June
Let them think they’re in control. Told in real time, Hijack is a tense thriller that follows the journey of a hijacked plane as it makes its way to London over a seven-hour flight, and as authorities on the ground scramble for answers.
Looking forward to this - you know how I like a good British thriller. Also interested to see how the seven hours of flight time play out in real time on the screen…

All I a saying is they did a brilliant job with the last season of Ted Lasso
I want more, I know there will not be any more

Agreed. Kid Redd and I watched the last episode last night as well and came to the same conclusion as you - want more, won’t get more. Hopefully there’s some decent spinoffs in the future - even if they’re shorter 6-8 episode mini-series things. Something around the Richmond Women’s Team could be good. Or Keeley’s PR company.

I would honestly settle for anything. It has been one of the best shows in a long time.
