Yes, they’re doing a Gallifrey panel on the Friday (literally changed my plane tickets in order to be able to see it ) and I think the general BF panel is on Saturday
ohhh surely then an announcement for gallifrey at the very least? do you know what time both are?
The Gally panel is Friday 1400 PST and the BF one is Saturday at 1000 and it’s listed as ‘Big Finiah 2025 preview’ so I can only imagine they will have at least one exciting announcement
…a Jackie Tyler boxset
Really hoping we get something good from either tbh! Both times are decent times for me to see what news comes so I’m really excited.
I’m sure all of us who are going will take notes - I definitely will be!
(And sharing them here right? )
Of course, that’s why notes will be taken!
