  3. Is the length of the episode confirmed as 90 minutes, previous unofficial reports only mentioned it being a 60 minute show.

  4. If they are both set to return its possible that the story arc will reflect 10.5 and Rose coming back from the other universe, or perhaps a visit to that universe. Which would be fun for sure, I am a little disappointed that Captain Jack will not be returning though.

  5. Looking forward to this new series.
    Too bad we will have to put up with the new (and NOT so improved) SPACE logo in the lower right part of the screen.

  6. They should have called Captain Jack too. It´s a pitty! He is one of the most interesting characters in the series.And it was the reason to create a spin-off. But at least they remembered David and Billie....
