Welcome to the Friday the 26th of May edition of Gallifrey Times!

Editor's Note: I had a horrific migraine yesterday, so you're getting a bumper edition today.

- Discussion, Reactions, Reviews and News -

• The big news: this week's episode has had a small cut made to it due to events in Manchester (apparently it's just one line of dialogue, so not like the couple of minutes that was trimmed from Robot of Sherwood).
