Boo, that sucks.
The season is already very short, releasing two episodes at once makes it even shorter. If they continue to do double releases it'll be over in just three weeks.
It's just a week one thing. It'll be weekly after that. Presumably it's to give a taste of what the show is like, the breadth of it, to newcomers on Disney.
Disney+ at long last has a show page for Doctor Who!

New season coming but 60th anniversary still not on bluray in the US.. Dang
Tempting to import, but they also made the UK blurays region locked when the pre-disney ones weren't.
I do have a region free dvd player I got for Blakes 7, so I could use that, though that'd be just dvds.
I know its available streaming, but after having a full set of dvds and blurays for everything else Doctor Who (other than VHSs for the Loose Cannon lost episode recons) it kind of bugs me

It's not on SVOD services either. We'll have to wait and see what kind of deal Disney has with BBC for Doctor Who. I've noticed some streaming services only seem to have 1 year exclusivity deals before they can sell the show on SVOD or Blu-Ray (e.g. Wednesday was put up for sale on Vudu about a year after it came out on Netflix https://www.vudu.com/content/browse/details/Wednesday-Season-1/2701611). Not sure what kind of deals Disney makes for Disney Plus like this. It's probably more expensive for them to keep the permanent rights for the length of the deal they have instead of allowing BBC to sell it other places after a certain period of time.
Random Thought, has the Doctor ever explained to UNIT or the UK Goverment that he's a time lord from the planet of Gallifrey or the Time War?
Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart went to Gallifrey and met multiple Doctors simultaneously.
I mean, they definitely know he's an alien with special powers. In addition to what Guppeth just said, the Brigadier has known multiple regenerations and even watched the third regenerate into the fourth. If you want a more recent example, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart was also present for the 14/15 Bi-generation.
And yeah, the Brig went to Gallifrey in the Five Doctors, although I don't remember if he remembers that afterwards? (Definitely only the Fifth Doctor should remember out of the various Doctors, but I'm not sure how the companions are affected.)
Explained is up in the air, but at this point UNIT staff have been present for multiple regenerations, and Day of the Doctor established that they have taken pretty much every companion the Doctor has ever had into the Black Archive and extracted information on their adventures from them, then wiped their memories of the encounter. So it's safe to bet they know a good amount.
Kate is definitely aware of it considering the Doctor has ranted about the Time War in her presence on at least two occasions that we've seen. And they've clearly run into each other a whole more times outside of those two televised interactions.
So does this mean the rumors were bullshit? Or are they still writing Millie out after a few episodes?
US Disney+ May 2023 lists being sent out are saying the Doctor Who Season Premiere drop has increased from 2 episodes to 3 episodes.
Edit: Either all the websites fucked up or US Disney+ fucked up or they're adding the holiday special into the show list instead of having a separate video. False alarm

It makes sense they'll push Church as part of the debut internationally, as otherwise Ruby is just... there
The specials should always be part of a season both on home video and on streaming, everything else is too confusing, imagine if The Christmas Invasion wasn't included in the series 2 release.
Doctor Who has been really bad at this at times, the 2009 specials should have been marketed as series 5 for example with Matt Smith starting at series 6. It is needlessly confusing to go from series 4 to 5 with a separate "The Specials" set in between. The 12th and 13th doctors didn't get their regenerations included in their final season sets either and those are obviously significant episodes and 13 has three additional specials not in any season release. It's madness that the audience has to use online resources to make sure they get all the episodes.

Doctor Who’s Ncuti Gatwa Breaks Down Every Doctor in the Show’s History | Entertainment Weekly
'Doctor Who' star Ncuti Gatwa is making history as the Fifteenth Doctor! Stepping into the role of the Doctor is an enormous responsibility, as the many acto...
youtu.be
Late to this but god, Ncuti just sparkles and really delivers as the show's face/ambassador...and we're only three weeks away from his first season!
Oooft that's a terrible cover. Surely they had better images to use for Gatwa and Gibson that matched The Beatles' actors.
Those are the Beatles from the episode? That guy in the top right looks like he's in his 30s. None of them remotely look like any of the Beatles. Lennon didn't wear glasses in public till '67, I think. And that cover is truly the drizzling shits.
And I thought Shatner's album cover was the worst example of photoshopped face syndrome this week...
I mean, it won't be long to test this theory, but I really do feel they look so little like the Beatles that this is going to be a plot point. Like, how do you do a Beatles episode where the four look nothing like them, and you also don't have any actual Beatles music because of the licensing expense (as confirmed by RTD)... surely you have the episode be about doppelganger aliens trying to replace the most popular band on the planet in order to brainwash people or whatever
Billboard estimated the cost of Beatles songs licensing for the Yesterday movie was about $10M, i.e. 40% of the total budget. Doctor Who can't afford that, even with Disney!
As the director Danny Boyle said:
"The Beatles' music was incredibly expensive. It was the second most expensive thing I've ever put in a movie." Asked what the first was, he says "Leonardo DiCaprio!"

More like the funniest. I only know which one is John because of the glasses. I have no fucking clue which actor is which Beatle.
That's gotta be the ugliest DWM cover in a long, long time.
Top right Beatle is sending me. The whole group looks like a tribute act made up of local dads, my excitement for the episode is only growing
There is already a story with a plot similar to this:
1963: Fanfare for the Common Men (audio story) - Tardis Wiki

Did someone aim for Beatles and hit Monkees? I'm getting real Mike Nesmith vibes from the bottom-right.

Weirdly, I think they might have been better off in this one, very specific instance, sticking with the BBC?

John Cleese is the only Python to have been in Doctor Who. That would give us a much better one.

Wouldn't be the first time they adapted a Big Finish or New Adventure story.
Gatwa just has so much fucking charisma, more than any past Doctor. I can't wait to see him in a full series. I do hope he's able to get some serious and sad moments too but for now I'm just kinda excited to have some fun with him.
