Amazon Prime Blunder Releases New ‘Doctor Who’ Episode Days Before Its Premiere. Top Story - November 2018.
Doctor Who Series 11 has taken off on a high start with the viewing figures for the opening episode “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” now exceeding 11 million viewers. The series penned by new showrunner, Chris Chibnall, and a mix of other new writers, has so far gained very mixed reviews within its fanbase. You either love it or you hate it. There doesn’t really seem to be an in between. Series 11 episodes 1-5 were written by Chibnall (apart from episode three where he co-wrote with Malorie Blackman), which has done some damage, as people can’t adjust to his writing, with a large majority of fans branding Chibnall’s episodes this series as mediocre.

Chris Chibnall Set to Step down as ‘Doctor Who’ Showrunner in 2019, but Will Jodie Whittaker Follow?
Regeneration, different companions, different TARDIS interiors etc. You get the idea. BBC’s long running science fiction show, Doctor Who, has been on our screens for well over fifty years now, and not only is it about time travel and space, but it’s all about change. The Doctor has the ability to change his/her face by regenerating when his/her body becomes seventy injured or is dying. It’s not just the Doctor that changes faces, but the Doctor Who showrunner does too, and now it appears to happen on a regular basis.

I Used to Think I Sounded Stupid When Talking About My Mental Illness
I woke up this morning still in recovery from a recent anxiety attack. The attack happened at work in front of my colleagues, and to me, I made a fool of myself in front of everyone not knowing what was racing through my head at the time. I had the Angel in one ear pleading that I can do this, I can push myself to recover. However, I had the Devil in the other ear laughing at me because he knew this would be the end of me. All my thoughts and feelings were temporarily removed from my body and were left stranded in the air until I managed to pull through the terrible time I was facing.
