November 29th, 2015 - 12:58amIn the trailer for next time, there’s a regeneration- is it ashildr or Clara who regenerates. If so is one of them River?
Hope not, though

November 30th, 2015 - 4:09pmRiver used all of her regeneration energy saving the Doctor, so it couldn’t be her.

November 29th, 2015 - 12:48amWas watching this with my parents and they (not watching the show as religiously as I do) had no bloody idea what was going on at any point through the whole episode

November 29th, 2015 - 12:40amAbsolutely awesome. Peter C should get an award for this season.
I think I saw a ring on the vail’s left hand at one of the earliest appearances. Anyone else spot it? Could be my imagination. Looked like the masters old ring.

November 28th, 2015 - 11:48pmIt was brilliant.
Colin Buick
November 28th, 2015 - 10:55pmJust realised now. All those skulls in the water was the doctor. Nice to see the time lord general back in the next trailer.
The Moffat Paradox
November 28th, 2015 - 10:49pmLol. Only 2 billion years to punch through a Azbantium wall. Piece of cake.
Exterminator
November 29th, 2015 - 10:59amI would’ve used the spade and made it through in one billion!

November 28th, 2015 - 10:47pmCheeky weeping angel In the next time trailer

August 30th, 2016 - 8:52pmI really thought that they would have a bigger role than they did.

November 28th, 2015 - 10:11pmAt last Moffet has finally wrote a good story almost as good as the Weeping Angles (Blink) story. And the Doctor is the Hybrid how is he going to explain that? but a good story any way
koloth
November 28th, 2015 - 10:30pmI don’t think that’s what he said. He said the hybrid is Me.
skaroman
November 28th, 2015 - 11:22pmHahahaha. Weeping angles
JellyBaby100
November 29th, 2015 - 12:04amOHHHHHHH. The Hybrid is ‘Me’, not the Doctor! I literally just realised that.
The Silent Silent
November 28th, 2015 - 10:10pmGreat !!!

Warrior Doctor
November 28th, 2015 - 10:23pmMay I ask why? 🙂
the a
November 28th, 2015 - 10:38pmso what is the reason? if you don’t mind me asking….
Michael
November 28th, 2015 - 9:49pmFantastic episode. Left me guessing right to the end.

November 28th, 2015 - 9:47pmIf Ashildr had the confession dial then how did the doctor get into it and how did it end up at galifrey?
Anonymous
November 28th, 2015 - 9:53pmJust watching the last episode, i can have a good guess but we will find out next week.
The Legend Doctor
November 28th, 2015 - 9:54pmHmm. Good Question Anonymous
A
November 29th, 2015 - 10:08amPresumably Ashildr’s sinister protection racket style “employers” (the Time Lords) had her transport the dial separately to Gallifrey so the Doctor could be teleported into it. Maybe if he had made the confession they wanted he would have been released in the city (probably in a cell), but by escaping on his own terms he has some distance to make a plan.
Jammy2305
November 29th, 2015 - 9:26pmThe confession dial that Ashildr has already contains the confession that the Doctor made whilst in there. Thus at some point he is going to lose it, Missy will find it and the whole sequence of events will start again… (Hope that makes sense?)
daleksean
November 28th, 2015 - 9:46pmWOW that episode was amazing but I couldn’t help but thinking of how Gallifrey was going to come back throughout the episode since I already knew Gallifrey was coming back thanks to the synopsis by the BBC and I guessed Gallifrey was on the other side of the wall. Cant wait for next weeks series finale.

November 28th, 2015 - 9:45pmSuch a clever episode…well done that man Moffat.
The super whovian
November 28th, 2015 - 9:36pmA brilliant episode it was interesting, suspenseful and scary. Capaldi’s performance was excellent. The scene where the doctor punched the wall was powerful and the I know this might sound stupid but I actually thought the doctor lost very clever plot twist. The monster was good it always made a good and scary entrance and it was creepy how it slowly followed the doctor.
This episode was really good and I cant wait for the next episode. I think this one will be remembered as “the one were the doctor gets followed by a creepy monster” or “the one were the doctor nearly broke his hand by punching a wall”
The Temporal Jelly Baby
November 28th, 2015 - 9:35pmWell, that was amazing. 🙂
mark Belsom
November 28th, 2015 - 9:35pmNext week’s looks good,also think I spotted a past doctor.
Obsie
November 28th, 2015 - 10:02pmReally when and where ?
mark Belsom
November 28th, 2015 - 10:21pmThere’s another next week trailer,which is where I spotted a familiar face.
Dalekparadigm2
November 28th, 2015 - 10:35pmCan you get the time it was at?
mark Belsom
November 28th, 2015 - 10:52pmIt a about 12 seconds into the trailer.
Orange Dalek 26
November 28th, 2015 - 9:31pmA fantastic episode. However am I the only one annoyed that the return of Gallifrey had been spoiled a while ago by the BBC synopsis?
The Temporal Jelly Baby
November 28th, 2015 - 9:33pmNo, you’re not the only one.
mark Belsom
November 28th, 2015 - 9:33pmThe radio times gave it away too.
Orange Dalek 26
November 28th, 2015 - 9:35pmSpoilers. It seems there’s no escaping them.
the eternal doctor
November 28th, 2015 - 9:31pmi loved that. every part of it was amazing and gallifrey’s back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the idea of the amount of years he was there was great
and the hybrid amazing
I was so scared when the doctor opened that door, even though I new the vail would be behind there.
10/10, top 3
Obsie
November 28th, 2015 - 10:04pmAnd goodness knows how old that makes The Doctor now, lol.
Simon W
November 28th, 2015 - 10:13pmhe is I think the same age as he was in the last episode it was the same day repeated for him I think.
Dalekparadigm2
November 28th, 2015 - 10:36pmThis is correct. A current version of him was stored in the computor bank. It was only the castle that became that old.
A
November 29th, 2015 - 9:51amPhysically the same age, yes, but as he remembers his past attempts when he reaches the wall his memory is surely billions of years old. The same day added to second by second as he punches through the wall.
mick181
November 30th, 2015 - 9:19pmI don’t think he does remember his past attempts, i think he works out what has been going on by the time he gets to the wall. One thing we don’t know is how long each body’s story lasts for is it weeks, months or even years. As he comes out of the chamber he doesn’t seem to know where he is or what is going on. Don’t forget its already been 7000 yrs the first time we see him.
Doctordredd67
November 28th, 2015 - 9:30pmBrilliant, absolutely brilliant. We were on the edge of our seats when we realised the doctor was trapped in his own causality loop ( it’s a timey wimey thing) , a very exciting finish also. The next time trailer has our whole household jumping up and down speculating about what’s going to happen. These next 7 days hopefully, will pass quickly . We cannot wait for the finale….
JasonisnotaRobot
November 28th, 2015 - 9:29pmThat was amazing, I knew it was coming but Gallifreys return was awesome! And Hell Bent looks even better!
the Master
November 28th, 2015 - 9:27pmThe Doctor said the hybrid is me. Could be a play on words, as Ashildr calls herself Me.
the eternal doctor
November 28th, 2015 - 9:32pmoh yeah
Anonymous
November 28th, 2015 - 9:43pm@The Master: Well done, I missed that and was wondering what the heck was going on. Of course…the Hybrid is Me…Ashildr
Exterminator
November 28th, 2015 - 10:15pmAhhhh, now it makes sense! Well done ‘the Master’.
the Master
November 29th, 2015 - 12:46amLol, thanks. After he said it, i actually shouted “Ashildr” at my tv, due to the fact that i clicked on.
anon
November 28th, 2015 - 9:26pmWow! Had a feeling the Doctor was the Hybrid…. When he said on screen “the hybrid…” I said aloud is the Doctor, and of course he said “is me” the doctor said he was half human half time lord.
Anonymous
November 28th, 2015 - 9:44pmThe Hydrid is Me (Ashildr), not The Doctor.

November 28th, 2015 - 10:05pmHe had better damn well not be !!!
The Five Doctors
November 28th, 2015 - 9:25pmBEST EPISODE OF THE SERIES!!!!! Gallifrey’s back, the Vail was truly fantastic, and Clara’s cameo was fantastic! 10/10!

November 28th, 2015 - 9:25pmAshildr next week no cry cry

November 28th, 2015 - 9:25pmSpotted a dalek in the hell bent trailer
Also the title of this page is what did you think of FACE hell bent
Doctor Stu
November 28th, 2015 - 9:24pmThat was so good, it wasn’t brilliant if your watching doctor who for the first time as soon people might be but it was really necessary to link onto next week. It was chilling and dark and I haven’t been this excited for a series finale since 2008
Dalekparadigm2
November 28th, 2015 - 9:03pmWell, that…was…AMAZING!!! Scary, spooky and I was on edge the WHOLE WAY THROUGH. Also, GALLIFREY’S BACK!!!!!!!!!!! I’m hyped for next week!
Dalekparadigm2
November 28th, 2015 - 10:26pmUnfortunately there is one rather large plot hole. If the rooms all reset themselves then how did the crystal wall not unbreak? Capaldi would’ve had no chance of getting through that. Anyway, I’ve decided to brush it under the Carpet. Capaldi’s acting was SUPERB! Absolutely amazing from start to end.
1. Heaven Sent
2. The Zygon Inversion
3. Under the Lake
4. Face the Raven
5. Before the Flood
6. The Zygon Invasion
7. The Magician’s Apprentice
8. The Witch’s Familiar
9. The Woman Who Lived
10. Sleep No More
11. The Girl Who Died
I reckon next week’s episode will probably top that list. One Hellofa series!
