There's going to be a 3-parter for episodes 6, 7, and 8 involving a group called the Monks. Hopefully meddling.

Remember the Scooby Doo cartoons where the gang would stumble upon some famous people or band at the beginning and they'd all go on an adventure together? Think that, but with more rock banjo.

In case you were worried she was going to get left out, Bill gets her own Special Companion Name too:

quote:

The Pilot

Two worlds collide when the Doctor meets Bill.

A chance encounter with a girl with a star in her eye leads to a terrifying chase across time and space. Bill’s mind is opened to a Universe that is bigger and more exciting than she could possibly have imagined – but who is the Doctor, and what is his secret mission with Nardole on Earth?

I like how the synopsis's phrasing indicates that she has no clue who the Doctor is, but Nardole is a known quantity.

No, she's literally got a universe inside her head. The season mystery is who placed it there and why.

Turns out it's Missy and Davros and it's a universe where Daleks are the dominant species.

Capaldi regenerates because he takes all of that universe into his own mind and reboots himself to wipe it from existence.

It seems clunky that those two sentences would be from the perspectives of different characters. Any chance the girl with a star in her eye is someone Bill has an encounter with?

At least this way we don't get another "DOES SHE WANT TO FUKC THE DOCTOR????" subplot.

hopefully she has a somewhat grounded and realistic relationship, like Amy and Rory got, and not like anime ninja maid and vore fetish lizardwoman. Actually, I hope Moffat kills those two before he leaves.

Surely not a spoiler when it's on the national news website? In fact, I heard it on the six o'clock news on BBC Radio 2 while I was driving home, which is about as non-spoiler as you can get. :confused:

She clearly means it shouldn't be a big deal within the show, and says in the very same interview why representation is important, though. :)
