Doctor Who season 15

 The second, and already last, season of the Doctor under the Disney umbrella (hoozah), starring Ncuti Gatwa as the doctor.
 

And while a short season numbering 8 episodes, let's go and watch this classic franchise! 
 
It kicks of after the christmas special from 2024, Joy to the World, when a nurse, Belinda Chandra, is kidnapped from her home by robots and brought back to a planet carrying her name.  Here they have enslaved the human population, as it turns out it is ruled by her ex-boyfriend who got there due to a fracture in time.  The Doctor saves her, but the TARDIS is unable to land on her moment of departure in 2025, so they have to take a detour.  They land in Miami in 1952, investigating the disappearance of 15 people in a cinema, who where taken by the God of Light.  
 

After overcoming Lux, they arrive on a planet in the far future, investigating a mining colony that went silent due to a monster hiding in the shadows of people.  The Doctor realises this is the planet formerly known as Midnight, and he encountered the entity before, but the strange thing is nobody ever heard of a planet called Earth.  We then meet up with Ruby again, who has a new boyfriend, Conrad.  However, he is out to expose the Doctor and aliens and all as fraudulent news, but after Conrad is put in prison Mrs Flood appears again and sets him free.
 
They travel to Lagos to boost the signal of their device to get back to Belinda's time, as well as going to the intergalactic Song contest, but they learn in the end that Earth ended on the day Belinda was taken.  Mrs Flood, somehow also present at the songfestival, bi-generates, revealing her to be none other then the Rani.  She sets out to start her plan of destroying Earth and creating an alternate future, all to bring back the Timelords and Gallifrey by releasing Omega, it's founder.  The Doctor manages to restore reality by triggering his regeneration deliberatly, but at the cost that he will regenerate, and now looking as his former companion Rose Tyler...
 

But how that pans out, we will have to wait a while, as the whole BBC / Disney deal unravelled and it will take about 2 years apparently before a new season will be released... luckily, time is a timey-wimey ball...
