I figured this should be made for everyone – I didn’t see one already.

I feel like they need to move to letters rather than numbers for seasons now. We've had Series 1 (1963), Season 1 (2005), Season 1 (2024).

Season 1 is a fixed point in time that we keep coming back to.

Imagine going back to 2018 at the start of the Jodie Whitaker era and telling someone that the next showrunner would be Russell T. Davies, the 60th anniversary would star David Tennant, Catherine Tate and Bonnie Langford, Christmas specials would come back and the show would make a run for the Christmas number one single with a song about goblins, the first episode would be called Space Babies and would literally be about space babies, the second episode would be about the Beatles, feature no Beatles songs and Jinx Monsoon would turn out to be one of the best villains in ages, and episode three would be written by Steven Moffat.

We are in an absolutely chaotic era for the show right now and I love it lol.

Is it just me, or does the song in the end feel disconnected?

Alright, music nerds, help me out: what was the 'lost chord'? It wasn't the one Paul described in the canteen scene!

EDIT: It also wasn't the Hard Day's Night chord, or the A Day in the Life (which is just E Major, anyway) chord, which would be the obvious ones.

@frankPodmore @Trekman10

Well, I heard that there was a secret chord but Russell T. Davis couldn't clear it through Leonard Cohen's estate and it displeased the Lord.

You see it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth. The minor fall, the major lift.

I think Paul was describing a melody. The chord was a tritone.

Edit: No, I was incorrect. I have no clue.
