April 6th, 2017 - 9:59amWhat is this that you guys are talking about?

April 6th, 2017 - 8:48amI saw a rumour of that on a website. It said click at your own risk. I thought what the hell, clicked it and now I regret it. Although i hope it will happen because it would be really good.

April 6th, 2017 - 7:19amPersonally, I feel the Daleks could do with a break (they use them way too much nowadays) so just to have them cameo this year would be very welcome to me.

April 5th, 2017 - 8:21pmi agree with you though. if it turns out it’s true I’m completely on board with it.
Dr RevWho
April 5th, 2017 - 8:19pmLet’s hope so.

April 5th, 2017 - 8:17pmI’m still expecting that story to turn out to be rubbish as the Sun has a large history of reporting nonsensical lies.The article matches word for word with the other sources reporting it like they’ve all hit copy and paste then pretendimg it’s their own words.
Dr RevWho
April 5th, 2017 - 7:50pmJust to warn you guys, the Sun has apparently already spoiled the big secret they were saving for the new trailer. I won’t ruin it for you (the nice guy that I am) but I’m kind of partial to it. I will say, however, that this has further cemented my belief that the Sun is, far and away, the most shameless newspaper in England (as if we needed more proof of that).
Doctor Stu
April 2nd, 2017 - 8:37pmThe Doctor has an infinite amount of faces he can regenerate into so why should he always be white. I can perhaps understand if people aren’t too keen for him to regenerate into a woman seeing as he’s been a man up to now (even though it shouldn’t really be an issue) but there’s no reason why he should always be a white person
The Outcast
April 2nd, 2017 - 7:59amMeant series 9’s opener.
DWCR
April 1st, 2017 - 3:51pmIm most excited for the cyberman episode this year. I really can’t wait. It’s giving me The Empty Child/Doctor Dances and Rise of the Cybermen/Age of steel vibes
DWCR
April 1st, 2017 - 3:50pmLast years terrible opener? I thought the opener to The Return of Doctor Mysterio was okay?
The Living Shadow
April 1st, 2017 - 1:08pmI was thinking that the ‘secret mission’ bit sounds intriguing!
Anonymous
April 1st, 2017 - 3:25amAce isn’t gay. Just because there was originally planned to be a lesbian subtext in Survival, it doesn’t mean she actually is.
Besides, there’s plenty of other gay companions such a Oliver Harper, Mike Yates, Liz Shaw, Izzy Sincair, Fey Truscott-Sade, Chris Cwej and I’m sure there’s others.

March 31st, 2017 - 9:07pmIm hoping people wont start saying “The Doctors first gay companion” and completely forget Ace

March 31st, 2017 - 8:20pmApparently bill is gay. Just saw this on the nerdiest website, 😛
Doctor Stu
March 31st, 2017 - 7:31pmJust seen the new clip where they announce Bill’s sexuality, they showed a tiny bit of footage from what I’m assuming is the first episode, bill seems a lot more down to earth and intelligent than the trailer suggests, I thought she’d be a gimmicky, ditzy companion but she seems alright
The Outcast
March 31st, 2017 - 8:40am‘secret mission’ Series 10 plot arc?
Looks like the Daleks are in a cameo role here. Probs be some other cameos like last years terrible opener.
The Dalek Whovian
March 30th, 2017 - 10:13pmSo its a dangerous road trip with random stops through time and space? Cool
The Surgeon
March 30th, 2017 - 9:42pmMy prediction is that the Daleks are only in the pre-credits sequence. I’m not going to lie, I’m most excited about the Cybermen episode and the Jamie Mathieson episode. And I’m also very intrigued as to how Rona Munroe will write for the new series
The Temporal Jelly Baby
March 30th, 2017 - 7:43pmExactly, yes.
And yeah, I guess that’s a possibility. Other monster cameos would be nice so long as they don’t overdo it.
Doctor Stu
March 30th, 2017 - 7:00pmI think it is the same person because someone on twitter just shared a screenshot from the new trailer and the water girl has a star in her eye like a proper star shaped star inside her eye
Doctor Stu
March 30th, 2017 - 6:58pmSo they’ll probably just stumble through a Dalek conflict on their chase through time, maybe we’ll have a bunch of other monster cameos
The Temporal Jelly Baby
March 30th, 2017 - 6:30pmIn this “terrifying chase across time and space”, the Daleks are likely to be in only one part of the episode.
Doctor Stu
March 30th, 2017 - 5:39pmA first episode with a new companion needs to be a character building episode if the daleks are in it I hope they’re not underused. It would be nice if the first episode is something completely different and then Daleks are in the second episode as a sort of non cliffhanger – cliff hanger. A tiny bit like when Winston Churchill called the Doctor at the end of the beast below and we see the Dalek shadow move across the wall
Jordan Scott
March 30th, 2017 - 5:01pmIt says that they travel across the universe so I imagine that the Dalek and Movellan conflict is just one of the places they pass by, a bit like “The Chase” I suppose.

March 30th, 2017 - 3:55pmCould the girl with the star in her eye be the water girl we saw in the trailers? She’s obviously connected to the the daleks so maybe this is the dalek story
