September 18th, 2015 - 12:34pmI love reading the comments before having my say. Besides all the first comments get pushed further down and most people tend to repeat what somebody has already commented on. I,m going all out and still think the maisie williams character if anybody is ‘The doctors daughter’ regenerated from Georgia moffat.

September 18th, 2015 - 2:35amYou do know this is just a baseless rumour. People will demand it is correct but simple fact of the matter is that the tabloids have been saying she’s leaving at literally every opportunity they get because by process of exhaustion it must happen eventually.

September 17th, 2015 - 7:05pmYeah, thats true, but tom baker had a good three years and then had a couple more. I know he was the doctor, but to have a stong, resiliant character and then lose them is a bit of a downer.
Although, now we know that Clara IS leaving, there is no doubt going to be quite a few obsessive fans saying “bring back rose”. To that i say no. Bring in a new companion. Male or female, preferably dark haired (not blonde or a red head) and certainly not that annoying woman from Last Christmas, as she cannot act.

DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 17th, 2015 - 4:33pmWell she’s had a good 3 years, long enough for most Doctor Who regulars.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 17th, 2015 - 4:32pmAccording to the synopsis about ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’ in the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, Colony Sarff is looking for the Doctor to deliver him a message, and will visit the Maldorvarium, the Sisterhood of Karn and the Shadow Proclamation.
No doubt the Shadow Architect is stil fuming over the Doctor leaving the Shadow Proclamation 7 years ago in the series 4 finale 😀 [ “I order you to STOPPPPPP !!” ].

September 17th, 2015 - 4:21pmI imagine the site will overload straight after the broadcast.

September 16th, 2015 - 9:20pmBBC2 & BBC3 have repeats, one in the early hours of the morning & one early evening but you’ll have to wait a few days (25th sept). Or quit your job, lol.

September 16th, 2015 - 9:08pmJust had a look at the cast of the 1st ep & Kelly Hunter is back as the Shadow Architect. What HAS the Doctor done to warrant the attention of the Shadow Proclamation as well as causing him to visit the Sisterhood of Karn?

September 16th, 2015 - 8:53pmSo saddened to hear that Jenna Coleman is leaving the show. Best companion in a VERY long time. In a change to what Clara would say: run you clever girl, and remember.
And really hope that the next companion is not a blonde woman!

September 16th, 2015 - 8:13pmPossible but the poem is about loss, which is something the Doctor dreads. I do hope the Doctor isn’t guilt ridden about murder.

September 16th, 2015 - 5:45pmI wonder who,ll be first on this site to air their personal view of the episode come 8:30pm Saturday. There,ll be plenty to be vocal about then.

September 16th, 2015 - 5:20pmI,ve been thinking that certain words in each title might have some connection to this season if there is a story arc IE; Magician, Witch, Lake, Flood,Girl, woman, Heaven, Hell. Pure speculation I know, but its got me thinking again. The zygon story has similar themes to the film and tv series’ Alien Nation’, with aliens intergrating with humans and politically relevant with whats happening at the moment. Sad jennas leaving, but I think the character has run its course and I hope she gets a decent send off.

September 16th, 2015 - 5:06pmReally? I didn’t know that lol

September 16th, 2015 - 4:38pmTechnically we know nothing Steven Moffat is deliberately holding back on whether this is a single parter or a two parter because that will affect how we view the story.

September 15th, 2015 - 9:04pmNo, its not the Mire, the Mire appear in Maisie Williams eps. Collector means the dark humanoid rocky headed thing with red diamond-looking eyes. The Mire are the yellowish robot things that march towards clara and Capaldi in the trailer.

September 15th, 2015 - 5:46pmThey are related, at least by the appearance of Maisie Williams’ character (could she be the titular ‘girl’ and ‘woman’?) – but are *technically* separate stories as they are written by different people and, one assumes from what we’ve seen, contain their own plots.

September 15th, 2015 - 5:26pmIt annoys me that the Girl who Died and the Woman who Lived are not the same story.
If they’re unrelated, why title them as if it’s a multi-episode story.
I like Sleep no More and Face the Raven.

September 15th, 2015 - 1:26pmJust thought I’d do a little investigating try figure out the meaning behind the titles. 🙂
Episodes 1 and 2: The Magician’s Apprentice / The Witch’s Familiar (I think both are terms for Clara the magician being the doctor, the witch being missy. From the trailers missy spends a lot of time with clara in these episodes)
Episodes 3 and 4: Under The Lake / Before The Flood
Episode 5: The Girl Who Died
(Can only think of a transition of someone into womanhood unless it’s literal or both)
Episode 6: The Woman Who Lived
Episodes 7 and 8: The Zygon Invasion / The Zygon Inversion (couldn’t think of anything metaphorical, would say the zygons try to invade then the ‘inverse’ happens whatever that is I can only guess)
Episode 9: Sleep No More ( I like to think this leads in the next title, as in now its time to act for the Doctor)
Episode 10: Face The Raven (face the madness like edgar allen poes The Raven)
Episodes 11 and 12: Heaven Sent / Hell Bent (another term for the doctor and missy (maybe Daleks/davros) respectively)
Obviously I have no clue but was just trying to mess around with the titles.

September 15th, 2015 - 12:21pmThe first thing that came to mind when I read ‘Hell Bent’ was Missy telling the Doctor in ‘Death in Heaven’ about how the Doctor would take Clara to hell and back if she asked… “and she would”
