I think that’s the best we’ve heard from Chris yet. Certainly the last half of the clip is more akin to how I’d expect him to be. Roll on Thursday!

Well, I let the last of the hostages go. But, you know what the crazy thing is...I'm going to try to wait until Friday evening to listen to these. I have the weekends off and it will sweeten it.

Bit of respect for the tech guys, Aussie! I think they've had an excellent record in being prepared. How many crashes has the site had in the last 5 years? Compare that to 2008-2012 when any release causing even slight buzz crashed the servers totally for ages and ages. Some people spent days trying to get the first Dark Eyes to download. If you used BF when they started downloads..man.THAT was an experience.
Anyway. Big day, can't wait! I was saying to Audio Watchdog, I think from reading the 2 DWM interviews and hearing the clips we're getting something quite special here - it's not Eccleston returning as The Doctor, he's kinda playing a new version. The way he wishes he had been able to back then maybe. Certainly one coming from a place of 15 years more experience as an actor, with a lot of his demons purged as a person. Chris has been able to be a healthier, happier person and I think we're getting a new take on his Doc here, or even (not literally but figuratively) him playing a different incarnation in a way. In the way Troughton's Doc was totally different when he came back for the anniversary takes - much more funny and whimsically impish, I think Chris is gonna do something fresh here. It's why I think he insisted there be no links to Series 1. So unlike Tennant who wanted to make "lost episodes" and fit right in with his boxsets to his TV run, I think Chris is starting a new thing here. Akin to McGann with Storm Warning and to some extent Colin's Doc when he met Evelyn. So if things don't sound "right" or how they did on TV, I think that'll be intentional. He's taken on a new part here in many, many ways and that's kinda more exciting to me than just "this is set when Rose was deciding to travel with him or not and he jumped off in the TARDIS".
Bit rambling there but I think my point comes across. This isn't "7pm on Saturdays in 2005" like Tom's "Saturday tea-time in 1977" bumpers. It's 2021 and one of the country's best actors is hopefully going to get a chance to show us why he's in the pantheon of the greats.

LOLZ I remember the whole "Dark Eyes" crash, the "Torchwood is coming to Big Finish" crash, the crash last August when Mr Eccleston was announced.. I say this in a funny way not as a criticism.. It shows people are pumped up and ravenous for this product - I see it as a "compliment" of sorts if the site/app goes down for a little while.. A little ! HAHA

HAHA They've come a loooong way since their first years selling cassettes at the turn of the millennium. Remember the days when having three of the original acting Doctors was considered fortunate and even the possibility of Tom Baker was just a happy fantasy? If the servers are crashing these days, I begin to wonder just what the number of visitors, purchasers, listeners, movers and shakers, all look like. It's got to be massive.
After this, I'm honestly not putting too much stake in the word impossible anymore. As Audrey Hepburn once said, the word itself says "I'm possible". It's a day of firsts. One of those moments where you look back, years after the fact (probably after the latest multi-Doctor special with a collision of classic and revived), and go it all started off with Sphere of Freedom.
