I said 'Getting a Walt Disney vibe too'. Yes. But the key word is "typical" and you're making it sound as if getting a Walt Disney vibe is "typical Doctor Who". That's totally not what I was trying to say. 'Typical Doctor Who' was meant as a separate comment from 'Walt Disney vibe'.

I am getting some heavy fairytale vibes from what we hear of this season. A Star in Her Eyes sounds like a kind of Brothers Grimm title, frozen Thames in Victorian London is a very magical and enchanting image, evil emoticons sounds like a modern fairytale idea, and Peladon is an inherently fairytale world. I'm thinking that this season is a breather from the darkness of last season and we'll hopefully move back to some darker stories as we continue through the seasons.

They might make it so Spare Parts is still canonical though. I'm guessing the Doctor would reference not wanting to bump into his fifth incarnation if necessary. Since they remade Human Nature without any references to the Seventh Doctor, I'm guessing that they wouldn't reference the original. That was under Russell T Davies though. Moffat Who directly acknowledges Big Finish as being a part of the continuity.

If Peladon cosmes back, then I hope we get the usual types of characters. A high priest who wants to leave the Galactic Federation, a chancellor who wants to stay, a monarch who doesn't know what to do, and Alpha Centauri.

A high priest who wants to leave the Galactic Federation, a chancellor who wants to stay, a monarch who doesn't know what to do, and Alpha Centauri. And then have the debate conclude with both sides fighting each other to the death and neither winning? Then people start to realize that they don't even know what they're fighting for. Then we get a political debate. Then we the Doctor becomes neutral. Bill becomes radically stay and fights the leave. The leave inevitably win, with Bill angry, but the Doctor tells her that democracy must always win.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was an atypically tonally jarring Moffat series that puts even more people off...

He can just come in on his bike. shout 'BREXIT!' then leave in a hurry when it all goes pear-shaped.

Well, one could argue that JK Rowling shouldn't be allowed to write a story for Series 10, then, because books are way more different formats by comparison. What I'm trying to say is that you've got a hypocritical argument.

With audio writing they have to sell you on what's going on without visuals, which means you tend to get more exposition in an audio drama than in TV or film.

Writing for radio and then tv is a natural progression for writers. It's arguably a lot better for your writing too because you're not relying on visuals to exclusively prop up your story. Take a story like In Memory Alone, one of the BBV Stranger stories from the early nineties that Nick Briggs wrote. It has four characters in total, operating in a single isolated location with a very tightly written plot that uses the bare bones atmosphere of the whole thing to its advantage. It's a story that could easily have been done through radio, but it makes a very nice bit of video in its own right.

Are we in danger of getting rather off-topic?

RETURN TO PELADON
The Ruling class are spreading rumours that the Galactic Federation is corrupt. The Miners have been told that aliens will be brought in to do their work. The price of ore is going up, but wages are going down. The King/Queen is powerless. A revolt starts. But, there are aliens behind it, and the Doctor sets out to find them out, and stop them!
