Just got back a little ago from the press launch. I enjoyed the evening – great entertainment, and an interesting all round experience. More on Thursday (yes, I know it’s a wait, but I’ve got an essay deadline tomorrow and there’s an embargo until then anyway!)

Just to establish a couple of important things: I was invited to the launch to write for Gair Rhydd/Quench, and there’s an embargo on everything for 24 hours (to give time for everyone to write things up, or some such odd reason). So there’s obviously a limit to what I can talk about on my humble little blog.

The actual interviews, previewing and the like are headed for Gair Rhydd, but hopefully I’ll still be left with plenty to talk about here about my experience of the evening’s event and various interesting stuff that doesn’t make it into the student paper. I’m not going to be giving a detailed plot breakdown of the first episode – what would be the point of that? – but I plan to tell you a bit about the evening and whet your appetite for series two once I am able to.

Anyway, in finest Doctor Who Magazine tradition, three words for you: “gollum”, “decontamination” and “hub”. Stay tuned!
