Looking at the cover I'm curious what the setting will be, the one setting next to 5 gives me Eye of the scorpion vibes with the sand and, the one near 6 gives me project twilight vibes with the blood and London. The last one is more of a mystery, assuming it would be an 8 setting maybe its something to do with the planet from Storm Warning? I could be entirely wrong with the settings being from previous stories just something I noticed.

What I am interested to know is, on the inner cd cover, which of the 4 Doctors' logo's will be used? I always flip the cd cover over to the relevant Doctor/Era for completionism. Maybe just the blue McGann logo, as with Sirens - or maybe that rare bronze one from the first McGann run? The bronze logo for sure... Always remember seeing that when I got my CD copy of Storm Warning and was stunned. It worked best on Sword of Orion - against the black backdrop of the cover. Will each episode have a different version of the theme or will they go for the classic Ron Grainer version?

Wonder which companions The Doctors will have or that they will be all standalone?

Apologies if this has been speculated somewhere else already (probably has, what do we do but speculate ) but I wondered... ... if Seven being shown in darkness is more than just an indication of a smaller role due to recording availability. This speculation has a BIG spoiler for MR: 'Dark Universe' so click with caution: {Dark Universe Spoiler}We never found out exactly what Seven's deal with the beings from the Dark Universe was did we? This is what I wrote about that story back in January:
"He knowingly 'played' Ace and the Eleven to open the Gate and was willing to risk (and actually lose) swathes of the universe and countless lives to the darkness, just to get the Dark Universe on his side.
How? A 'deal with the devil' of some sort and although the Seventh incarnation will be over soon after this story, the Doctor will go on and so will that deal - whatever it was... 'We will hold you to your word... we will remember...' What did the Doctor offer to get the Dark Citizens to stay on their side of the Gate, why was it so important to have them on his side that he would allow untold billions of deaths (because that's what he presumably did in effect if whole galaxies were lost) - and when and from which incarnation will they require 'payment'? Do I detect an Eighth Doctor story waiting to happen...?"
Perhaps now we will find out why there was such an obvious 'jump' in the middle of 'Dark Universe' and what Seven was really up to? Presumably the end of the MR was already being planned for when 'Dark Universe' was being written so maybe...?

That Spoiler I think is the crux of the previously teased 7th Doc The Last Day as the Darkness returns on his Last Day to "collect his side of the Bargin" for them negating some of their destruction as they say at the end of DW MR Dark Universe. Regards mark687

Regards mark687 Ah that makes sense, cheers Mark. BF have managed it so well, I'd forgotten how much the MR has had to be rearranged to cope with this year's events. No doubt we'll hear 'The Last Day' in a boxset sometime...

That was a pretty enjoyable trailer - a lot of lines that made me laugh. I’m thrilled to hear some companions in the mix! And some of my all-time favorites too!
This trailer has made me realize I now need Mrs. Clarke to have a few adventures with the Eighth Doctor. I mean, if the Sixth Doctor got Charley, it’s only fair Eight gets one of his!
On that note, I hope there’s a scene or two of Six being confused about seeing “Mila” traveling with Eight. That could be very fun!
No sign of the Seventh Doctor, but I’m getting the impression he’ll have something to do with the Universe being thrown into chaos - I can’t see them giving him that level or prominence on the cover and then writing him out a la Four in The Five Doctors.

He literally only remembers Mila’s original face and voice instead if I recall correctly. My mistake!
... buuuut, a multi-Doctor story would be the time for some memories to come back to the surface, even if it’s nothing more than a “this person seems REALLY familiar...”

Sylvester is listed on the cast list so i can only imagine he is apart of it but yeah its odd that they aren’t showing him and they only mention three of the doctors in the blurb.

Very excited, small plug but when I talked to the writer Robert Valentine, he made it sound so good! Excited to see Charley, Constance and Turlough in it as well!

Calypso Jones from Valentine’s previous monthly range story, The Lovecraft Invasion is returning as confirmed by actor Robyn Holdaway!

Kevin McNally sounds like he’s having a good deal of fun from the trailer alone. I’m sure he’ll make for a most entertaining villain.

I wonder if this will be Six and Constance meeting her for the first time - or if she might be travelling with Sylvester down the road?? That would make an interesting four companions - one from the TV, one past MR companion, one current MR companion and one future 7DA companion (who we met in the main range).

Took me a while, but {Spoiler}I think the fifth Doctor recognises Charley from when she appeared briefly in his TARDIS in "The Light at the End", and Turlough was present at the time.
