What happens with this release? They now say on amazon page, it will be dispatched between 1 and 3 months.
Its still coming, they just listed it wrong. It was listed as "Order now & we'll ship when stock is available" & they've never corrected it, I kept getting emails saying "We're sorry, we're still trying to source this product" and today got one that said "Delivery between January 21 and March 20".
I'd imagine it'll release in probably March of next year.

Well, it arrived safely without any damage - despite being in a standard A1 cardboard mailer and having been shoved through the letter box, so a drop of a few feet on to the hall carpet (thankfully, it is carpeted with a Welcome mat, providing some cushioning rather than a hard floor!)...Mine arrived this morning, but I won't be home until Wednesday to see what it looks like (and check for any damage in transit).
I've avoided watching it on TV with the intention of watching it together but heard very mixed opinions about this series, the general consensus is that it's newcomer-friendly but does very little to excite long-term fans of the series with weak stories. I'm sure I'll find something to enjoy about it but it doesn't sound like it has been the revelation they were hoping for with the first female Doctor
fans are now calling Jodie Whittaker the Jar Jar Blinks of Dr Who.
Man that's harsh!
I think she has everything to be an amazing Doctor but the writing is terrible and has let this series down in a massive way. Chris Chibnall is what is wrong with this. By trying to change everything and making everything new he's done away with 2-part stories and original villains. This means he has to spend 2/3rds of the episode on set up and exposition and rushing the ending (the Spiders one was the worst case of this). Plus having absolutly no over-ridding arc for the series means you could literally watch any episode (apart from the first one), in any order and it would make zero difference to the season as a whole.
This is the first of the Doctor Who steels I won't be getting as I cannot see myself every watching this season again.

I think her performance is dire and that's being kind. Every actor that has played the Doctor to date regardless of the quality of the stories involved nailed their version within minutes. Of the 8 episodes I watched on iplayer at random she was struggling all the time. She's simply not up to the job. She's no Helen Mirren or Weaver. I was against the gender bender Doctor from day 1 and Jodie Whittaker simply reinforced my believe in that respect. I thought Peter Capaldi could have been a great Doctor but he was let down by dire stores as well but at least I could believe in him as the Doctor. Every time Jodie Whittaker appeared on screen all I saw was Jodie Whittaker and not the Doctor. The show also flagged up that new saying "Go Woke go broke". The only person that come out of that car crash that was season 11 smelling of roses was Bradley Walsh. I'm so used to watching him in the Chase I forget he's a superb actor. If only he'd been the Doctor. He was just light years ahead of everyone else. Everything else stank. I wont' be watching the show ever again. I'm done with it and this is someone who's been watching the Show since the Tenth Planet back in 1966. By all means I'm happy to rebuy the classic show that's coming out on blu-ray and the 1st 4 seasons of the New Show. Anything after that I'm not interested in. Talking about steelbooks really hope they do season 4 and that's me one happy camper. Hearing a rumour that season 10 of the classic show is next for the blu-ray treatment. For the record there is a lot of bad stuff in the classic show especially during the JNT years like Twin Dilemma and Timelash but there is simply no getting away from the fact that season 11 and New Year's Day special were complete and utter drivel and there was simply no excuse in this day and age for such amateur rubbish.
