While not much is known about the 60th anniversary finale, this last episode may ruffle the feathers of dedicated “Doctor Who” fans, according to showrunner Russell T Davies.

    I’m hoping the '99 Paul McGann movie bombshell gets confirmed - that the doctor is half-human.

    It currently, most likely, falls in canon under “the doctor lies”.

    But we’ve now seen multiple occasions in NuWho where a human-timelord hybrid is effectively just another timelord.

    So I think the legwork for “how can that be” has finally been cleared out.

    Also I think it’s time for this new, more open, Doctor to admit that their fondness for earth isn’t pure coincidence.

      In the Hartnell series, his granddaughter was half human. The consistency of human and timelord has a few quirks in it, made all the more confusing as the series has progressed.

      Been a while since I have seen the old Who, so I might be mistaken.

        Oh yes! Great point! I was forgetting that.
