I don't know what Fitz the companion is like, but now I'm imagining Robbie Coltrane as a companion.


I like it.

Although he spent his first full (christmas)episode either asleep or not entirely knowing what kind of Doctor he would be.

They also explicitly have someone who was around with the dinosaurs in the vastly different alternate world of Doctor Who directly testify that in fact, dinosaurs were that big in that universe.

(...there's nothing wrong with that dinosaur's size)

Just for emphasis sake.

Posting this in this thread as if I'm right it concerns a future episode, but in the UNIT scenes, was that Reece Shearsmith hanging around in the background? I imagine that will become important later but I have no idea how yet.4

EDIT: Yeah, rewatching, they're really obviously showing him while pretending he's just in the background. Classic Moffat.

I hope Capaldi regenerates into Bradley and Doctors repeating their regenerations becomes canon. Already looking forward to Shearsmith returning as Troughton.

If the Doctor regenerates into Shearsmith it'll mean he was somehow deeply touched by the character from Sleep No More, and not even I remember that episode.

6 - Extremis (Written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Daniel Nettheim; Guest Star: Michelle Gomez)

"They read The Veritas - and chose hell."

In the Haereticum (the Vatican's secret library of blasphemy) there is an ancient book known only as The Veritas. Throughout history, anyone who has ever read it has immediately taken their own life. Now a new translation is online, and the danger is spreading. The Vatican appeals to the Doctor. Will he read The Veritas? But can even the Doctor survive the ultimate truth?

7 - The Pyramid at the End of the World (Written by Peter Harness and Steven Moffat and Directed by Daniel Nettheim)

"Fear is inefficient. We must be loved."

A 5,000-year-old pyramid stands at the centre of a war zone, where the Chinese, Russian and American armies are about to clash. There are many problems with that, but the one that intrigues the Doctor is this: there wasn't a pyramid there yesterday. The Doctor, Bill and Nardole face and alien invasion unlike any other - before conquest can begin, these alines need the consent of the human race.

8 - The Lie of the Land (Written by Toby Whithouse and Directed by Wayne Yip)

"I'm sorry, Bill, I really wanted to make you see!"
"Oh my God, this is real. You're really doing this!"

The world is gripped by a mass delusion and only Bill Potts can see the truth. When even the Doctor is fighting on the wrong side, it's up to Bill to convince the Time Lord that humanity is in deadly danger. And if she can't do that, she may just have to kill her best friend.

Now you know Moffat is saving some ace up his sleeve that nobody has leaked. Will it be more Masters as rumored, perhaps CGI Delgado or Ainley? Beevers or Pratt in updated makeup? Derek Jacobi? Or something even more off the wall? He's got to go balls out for his and Capaldi's last episode for sure.

i'm hoping it will be in the vein of tennant visiting all the companions from the rtd years.

Capaldi just seeing all the moffat era companions and not giving a poo poo really.

I've also heard that Chris Chibnall isn't happy with how fan-centric the show has gotten so I'm not at all convinced that they'd bring back the villains from one story in 1980. I wouldn't mind one long story or more Time Lord characters, though.


I've love for the new doctor to catch up with jago and litefoot.

gently caress it, we had an amazing cyberman (origin) episode. the following episode, while being great, wasn't a great cyberman episode (purely because the weren't defeated with gold?) doesn't take away from last weeks episode.

I would love to see Craig Ferguson in Doctor Who (and you know he would do it in an instant) but I can't imagine what role he would fit in.

Perhaps in a sequel to the Dream Doctor episode. There are two new Doctors in the TARDIS brought forth from the twelfth doctors psyche, one is the personification of his confidence, and the other his paranoia.
