Doctor Who: Redacted
2x06 Redemption [season finale]
Weirdly, this episode makes a big thing out of a "the Doctor is missing from the universe" subplot, then ends with a tease for next month's first special, The Star Beast. I say that's weird because I don't recall the Doctor going missing being a plot point in the last few Jodie episodes (indeed, her final one is set largely in the present day, working with UNIT), so you might think the Doctor being missing is something to setup the specials, but the trailers for those suggest this 'cliffhanger' is teasing something quite early in Special 1. So... what? Unless "the Doctor has been missing for some time" is part of the specials' story, I guess. Well, we'll find out next month!

Doctor Who @ 60: A Musical Celebration
Recorded last month and scheduled for broadcast this coming Sunday, the BBC unexpectedly released this full two-hour concert on BBC Sounds yesterday. It contains a couple of themes from upcoming episodes, which they shared on social media. It's all a bit odd (why drop it randomly several days early? Surely no one was going to leak something like this?), but here it is.
