Season 13 starts shooting in a few weeks

I think it was John Bishop (but I could be misremembering) who described the series as a six hour movie. The stories will be tightly connected. But we're not sure about the status of individual episode titles. I'd guess that they will still have them. We'll find out soon either way!

Jodie Whittaker was on the Graham Norton Show last night and also used the term "six hour movie."
 
Saw this on another board. This made me laugh

Every time I see anything about this, I automatically think: "Dr Who: The Flux". They might have wanted to consider the name a bit more carefully.....
 
As someone who studied physics in college, the negative connotation some people keep arriving on regarding that title is the last thing I think of because flux is a real and important property in physics and that's obviously what the show is alluding towards. I think people leaping to the negative connation instead of the obvious intention is more commentary on the people who make that connection than the title itself.

There's that but I've never even heard the negative usage of the term before this thread so it's easy to, ahem, poo poo this but I can see where that could be hard to shake depending on the familiarity of the term. Looking at the dictionary that definition is listed first so it must be a thing.

Yes.
It means my lifelong love of Doctor Who lead to me reading more history stuff and literature than science and physics, when push came to shove.
So I even get to titter at Flux Capacitor.
 
I was hoping to maybe get a glimpse of title or plot if they were careless. I wonder if maybe they’ll show live with UK in the afternoon but they haven’t done that in a while so the 8 PM is probably right.
 
All six episodes of Series 13 are one single story, most likely divided into Parts 1-6 in the style of old-school Doctor Who serials.
We'll see, but my interpretation of what we know about Series 13 leads me to believe that it's going to be essentially a single 6-part Serial (to use Classic Who terminology).
After that trailer, I'm even more convinced that Series 13 is going to be the first since Season 23 (The Trial of a Time Lord) to not have individual episode titles shown onscreen.
So, as it turns out, you're wrong about this. The episodes do in fact have individual titles, the premiere being The Halloween Apocalypse.
 
In all honesty, the way my life is here lately, I suspect the majority of this season I'm going to be DVRing the episodes and watching them on Monday.
