Pretty sure it was in the initial announcement. I’d have to look it up. So I’m hoping it’s the original team, but earlier in canon. We’ll probably know more once Jack’s is released. Also I somehow totally missed that big finish is doing River song?

You know what? I totally missed the River Song news as well, but I’ve been liking the show less and less as it goes on and I haven’t really been paying attention.

I’m still watching, but I’m looking forward to Moffat moving on.

Katherine really stood out in her field because she was the only woman who asked questions.
“The women did what they were told to do,” she explained. “They didn’t ask questions or take the task any further. I asked questions; I wanted to know why.“
In 2011, when asked if she still counts things:
“Oh, yes. And things have to be parallel. I see a picture right now that’s not parallel, so I’m going to go straighten it. Things must be in order.”
