Millie Gibson on returning to Doctor Who: ‘Ruby has PTSD'
This of course could also be related to the shimmering afterimage effect of the kind of old school fame that comes when you're on Doctor Who. When you're not simply appearing on memes and Comic Con stages and launch party posts and news sites, but are in people's homes on Saturday night and post-Christmas dinners. In fact last time we saw Millie – Ruby, sorry – was at Christmas, watching from the window at the Christmas star at the end of Joy to the World, a brief sign that when she left Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor at the end of last season to be with her long lost mum, it wasn't the end. This is no one season wonder.

Big high street chain selling Halloween goodies four months early – and shoppers are divided
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR high street chain has already started selling Halloween items, and shoppers aren't sure what to make of it. Shelves at TK Maxx have been stocked with Halloween tea towels, cushions, blankets and plush toys - a huge four months before the spooky holiday. 4 TK Maxx has brought out a range of Halloween items in some of its stores Credit: UK Supermarket Offers & Deals This Week by Dansway 4 The Halloween items are in stores a full four months before the holiday Credit: Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK 4 Shoppers have complained it's "way too early" for Halloween items to be in stores Credit: Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK 4 Ceramic pumpkins, skulls, tea towels, blankets and cushions are among the items Credit: Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK Shoppers pointed out that it hasn't even been the summer yet, and Brits are basking in up to 28C heat today. But if you head into TK Maxx, things are looking very autumnal. One shopper shared pictures of Halloween items on the shelves in the retailer's Doncaster store, saying: "It's starting." Others chimed in to say they'd also seen Halloween products in the stores in Preston and Oldham. Another post sharing a video of all the new products has racked up more than 2,500 likes and 1,200 comments. One person commented: "No no NO ….. let's have summer first before we start seeing autumn things ….. jeeeez way too early !!" Another said: "Wooow really getting earlier and earlier every year huh!! will start seeing xmas stuff next week no doubt." A third person said: "Its june!!!! this is far too early." But others were happier to see the spooky items on shelves. One joked: "You call it Halloween i call it home decor." I found my Christmas presents in the BIN - I've saved nearly £16k on TK Maxx buys & even got my tree from a skip Another person said to their friend: "We need to go back to TKMAXX!!!!" Shops have been putting out their holiday stocks even earlier in recent years. Some experts have said the growth of online shopping has meant traditional retailers are trying to extend the holiday season to compete. It's also because they have boosted profits during holiday seasons as shoppers spend more. Shops have been putting out their holiday stocks even earlier in recent years. Some experts have said the growth of online shopping has meant traditional retailers are trying to extend the holiday season to compete. It's also because they have boosted profits during holiday seasons as shoppers spend more. Charlotte Harrington, the manager at Summerhill's Garden Centre in Basildon, Essex, previously told The Sun that they open their Christmas department on the August bank holiday. "The stock comes in early and we gradually start putting it out on the shop floor. This is just a small fraction of what we have," she said. "But our Christmas displays are so spectacular it takes time to get everything set up, so we have to start early." Putting out holiday decorations too early can put off customers, though. Last year shoppers complained when B&M launched its Christmas range in the middle of August. They also reacted when Morrisons, Tesco and B&M put Easter chocolates out on their shelves hours after Christmas Day.
