    I well thank you @Hannah_Scope,

    yes I’m very excited for Christmas special this year! I’m also very excited to see the 3 60th anniversary specials with David Tennant and Catherine Tate in November. Also excited for the season 20 Blu Ray box set that is going to be released. 

    That sounds great, I would be interested in joining the CP network.

    Have you heard of the autism online social groups run by the National Autistic Society @OliverB?  :)

    Yes! I miss David Tennant and Catherine Tate together! Donna and Amy were my favourite companions. Who is your favourite?

    I do feel a little sad it will be the last acting credit for Bernard Cribbins  :'(

    I always consider Captain Jack as his own category 😂 Have you seen they have been teasing a Torchwood series too?! It's going to be a great year for Whovians!
