The full space-time coordinates haven't been announced yet but what has been revealed earlier today is that the premiere date for the new series of Doctor Who is on October 07. The first full episode of the new Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) written by showrunner Chris Chibnal is titled "The Woman Who Fell to Earth".

October 07 of this year falls on a sunday. This breaks away from the modern tradition of new Doctor Who episodes airing on saturdays.

Around two months ago on this blog I predicted that viewers will not see how the new Doctor survives falling from the TARDIS, which is where the show left off after last season's cliffhanger. I still stand by that prediction. I also don't believe there is going to be a story arc in which the Doctor is stranded on Earth without the TARDIS. I am sure the TARDIS will come back by the end of the premiere episode.

Or maybe I am wrong. We'll all find out October 07. Stay tuned.
