BBC Release Three Spoiler Images!

BBC Release Three Spoiler Images!

The official Doctor Who site has released 3 images form The impossible Astronaut.

We’ve been given special permission to run three new images at one minute past midnight tonight – astonishing images that will have you wishing you could leap in a TARDIS and go straight to 6pm on Saturday evening.

Steven Moffat (Lead Writer and Executive Producer) has talked about big shocks and ‘game-changers’ in this series and our photos from The Impossible Astronaut show he wasn’t joking! Don’t worry if you’re not a night owl – the images and accompanying feature will be there in the morning. But if you don’t normally like big surprises too early in the day, we suggest you prepare yourself…

We are not one for giving spoilers but as they have been officially released here we go… You have been warned!

These stunning new images underline the fact that the Doctor’s return is absolutely unmissable. What’s going on? Find out when The Impossible Astronaut lands on BBC ONE on Saturday at 6pm. Immediately after the jaw-dropping cliff-hanger, switch over to CBBC to watch My Sarah Jane: A Tribute to Elisabeth Laden, a 15-minute special that celebrates and commemorates the life of one of Doctor Who’s most cherished actresses.

See the official site Here for more information and larger images.

      Time is re-writing its self…so it could be River…

      However, I don’t think it is her – so many fake spoilers out there that you cant believe anything you read.

      April 24th, 2011 - 4:15pm

      And (having watched the episode) I have proof that I shouldnt have taken the message “one of the regulars will die” so LITERALLY!! If it had to be permanent, rory would have ben my candidate, then again, I do find Alex Kingston rather a pansy of a performer. The way she say those lines, so annoying to watch. But that’s really a different topic. 😉

      It was to shock the viewers , give the man OH MY GOD moment in the season opender, something Steven Moffat says, you wouldnt normalyy expect from a Season-opener. (Usually they tend to be, rompy and light hearted. Just look at the Russel T davies series’s for confirmation of this, as Davros might say).

      plus in ‘The Impossible Astronaut’ River Song quoted:
      ” My doctor and he won’t even know who i am…and i think it’s going to kill me”

    i think the astronaut is an incarnation of the doctor or his friend and is using a sonic screwdriver to suck him into somewhere to stop him regenerating them spits him back out again

    when seeing this regeneration it makes me think of the stolen earth regeneration and how the 10th changed his body so that makes him the eleventh dr so matt smith is the 12th dr then

      April 23rd, 2011 - 12:51pm

      Well, from everything ive seen moffet is copying davies because we’ve seen 2 tenth doctors in the same room (journeys end) and also 2 11th doctors in the same room (the big bang) and also quotes from the eleventh hour

    • TARDIS

      April 23rd, 2011 - 1:02pm

      yeah i guess he is the 12th dr

    • Rooners

      April 23rd, 2011 - 2:29pm

      Matt Smith plays the Doctor in his 11th incarnation. The duplicated 10th incarnation was just that, a duplicated 10th incarnation that came from the doctors severed hand. The duplicated 10th incanation was also half human…therefore Matt Smith is the 11th.

    • Rooners

      April 23rd, 2011 - 2:31pm

      I dont think SM is copying RTD…I suppose you could say that on a basic level…but even if he is…he’s making a much better job at it than RTD did 🙂

    This is Not really that important but read it anyway, in Matt Smiths 1st episode, The 11th Hour, a woman said that she has seen The Doctor before, and in this episode, The Silence have captured a little girl, might be the same person, probably not, but I’m just connecting random things.

    These pictures connect almost everything we have seen in the ads. This is a possibillity and is just my personal opinion. If Riversong dies that means she cannot die in the library, therefore the 10th Doctor dies in the library and the spaceman in the silence have come to dispose of the Doctor’s regeneration that he should never have had. I think that makes sense.

      Just to extend, in an interview Steven Moffat said the episode would be based on an invasion that didn’t happen. Once they have contained what they came for, everyone forgets.

  • doctorwhoforever

    I’m still convinced River Song dies because the Doctor, Amy and Rory are still in Curse of the Black Spot and the Doctor is still played by Matt Smith. There’s no mention of River Song.

    maybe the astronaunt is absorbing all the doctor’s power to regenerate. this could mean that if the doctor is about to die, he will die and not regenerate.

    the doctor wont die he does the rest of the series so the doctor must put his regeneration into somthing. like the 10th doctor put his regeneration into his hand in a jar. but that spaceman is doing somthing to the doctor it could be a trick trying to scare river,rory and amy we will just have to wait for tonight when SILENCE WILL FALL.

      just noticed go to the homepage of the doctor who site the image at the top what moves if you look, the doctor has a different color bow tie than the doctor with stetson on and amy and rory have diffrent clothes on too.

    • DoctorWho4Eva

      April 23rd, 2011 - 7:25am

      i agree, he’s in the rest of the series so he must do something with it. Maybe it’s not even regeneration energy at all, but another kind of energy.
      (Just a thought)
