Doctor Who – Closing Time Synopsis

Doctor Who – Closing Time

Saturday 24 September 6.00-6.45pm BBC ONE and BBC ONE HD
(Time subject to change)

In the last few days of his life, the Doctor pays a farewell visit to his old friend Craig, and encounters a mystery, as the time-travelling drama continues.

People are going missing, a silver rat scuttles in the shadows of a department store, and somewhere close by the Cybermen are waiting…

The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Craig by James Corden, Amy by Karen Gillan and Rory by Arthur Darvill.

      Yes they have changed. For the better. They looked ugly, hideous and boring in the Adventure Games. Here is what they will look like: http://doctorwhospoilers.com/2011/4644

      They don’t. They’ve been revamped for the better. Anything’s better than a New Paradigm Dalek.

      i didagree i like the paradigm daleks, and the new cybermats still shouldnt have teeth; if the upgraded cats and docs for cybershades why didnt they have teeth? why do converted rats get teeth?

      No matts staying for another season and possibly season 8 as well he will probably stick around for the 2013 Aniversay and then hes leaving , I think said hed stay for 4 years that covers 2010 to 2013 about yeah

      He has not said anything about when he’s leaving he has been confirmed for four series but that doesn’t mean he’ll leave at the end of it. It’s like people are assuming Karen Gillan’s leaving at the end of this series because the BBC have not announced anything yet she has said on several occasssions she’s staying permenantly.

      Matt has to leave 4 year if enough. Matt is ok but ihope there’s a new doctor for 2014 if there is a season 9. I’m guessing the new doctor will be like the 9th he will most likely be suffering from a great loss that will most likely happen in the 50th anniversary season 8. What do u think

    • Intergalactic

      September 11th, 2011 - 5:36pm

      No! Definitely not! Matt is not leaving in 2013 at that’s that! He’s one of the best Doctors ever and I don’t want him to leave so soon.

      No it is a considerably different design.

    • Intergalactic

      September 11th, 2011 - 5:37pm

      Why on earth would people worry? True Doctor Who fans wouldn’t. Wouldn’t we want a new and nice design, compared to that hideous and ugly design?

    Will this be another Companion-lite episode?

      think so like the lodger as it lists the characters in order of importance in this episode it seems craig is the main companion

      it will be a companion-lite, however wikipedia is listing cast as follow.

      Doctor: Matt Smith
      Companions: Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill and Alex Kingston.

      with James Corden as one of the secondary cast.

      Silver man – Cyberman
      Silver rat – Cybermat

      Yes, you got it right.

    • Cybertrousers

      September 8th, 2011 - 5:36pm

      You’re right. It’s a cybermat.

    the silver mouse is probably a cybermat and i hope they are the ones in the adventure games

      What?!? The ones in the AG were rubbish. Rubbish and boring, and looked so bad they could only exist in the VG. These new ones are fantastic, brilliant and superb.

      It’s a different design, there are pictures of the new version out there. It’s a very interesting design to say the least because of a “new addition” but I’m not going to spoil it.

      It is. Sorry if thats spoilers

    • JoeAndTeddy

      pictures and videos have already been revealed about the new look cybermats – they are not the ones from the adventure games.

    • 11thtimelord

      September 17th, 2011 - 11:49pm

      cause that is what every episode synopsis is saying. In the Doctor’s final few day, he visits an old friend, being craig owens.
