APRIL FOOL! THERE IS NO SNEAK PEEK TODAY!
In the meantime. see if you can spot at least two things wrong with the following picture:

But seriously, aside from the Trumps, the Teutuls, the Imponderables, and the Saturday Comics, you can expect another weird take on a beloved fairy tale.




I can spot at least ONE THING wrong with the picture : Tom Baker wasn’t in the cast of ” The Five Doctors “. They used footage of him from an unaired episode ” Shada “.
That also isn’t William Hartnell, but William HURNDALL ( ? ), as Hartnell had died years before. & John Pertwee isn’t wearing one of his almost Liberace – style outfits.

Totally correct, but you’ve missed something else about Tom Baker in that photo…

Tom’s trademark scarf isn’t as colorful & wasn’t his fedora usually dark grey / or black.
Or perhaps it’s not Tom Baker, but a cardboard ” standee ” in the group photo.

I think that I read that several years ago. I’m catching up on the Tennant episodes on BBC America. They’ve run special programs about the various ” monsters ” on the series, the companions, etc. They appear to be concentrating on the newer companions, as well as showing clips from Matt Smith episodes. I wish they’d just start showing said episodes & quit puttering around.
They were trying to get the original actors from Baker to McCoy to appear for a 50th anniversary special as well as Eccleston & Tennant. Not sure how successful they’ve been.
