Doctor Who Series 9 Prologue to Episode 1.
Doctor Who New Series Prologue. Doctor Who Series 9 starts here, with this prologue to episode 1, The Magician’s Apprentice.
Where is the Doctor? When the skies of Earth are frozen by a mysterious alien force, Clara needs her friend. But where is the Doctor, and what is he hiding from?
As past deeds come back to haunt him, old enemies will come face-to-face, and for the Doctor and Clara survival seems impossible.
Exterminator
September 13th, 2015 - 10:53pmShe’s an amazing actress and the priestess character works so well with Capaldi’s Dr, I hope we see more of her in series 9 and not just in this mini prologue.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 13th, 2015 - 5:39pmI’ve done a couple of uploads on Deviant Art about Davros relating to ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’ 🙂

The Moffat Paradox
September 13th, 2015 - 11:13pmIt better be.(Now that I’ve replied in the right place.)
Doctor Stu
September 12th, 2015 - 2:25pmIf Davros is returning I hope it’s Julian bleach Davros though I extremely doubt it
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 12th, 2015 - 3:02pmIf Julian is back as Davros, then they are keeping very tight lipped about it.
The Moffat Paradox

September 12th, 2015 - 9:52amThe Daleks featured in the trailers for the season, were at Bovington Tank Museum in July, also with them was Davros, so the ‘he’ in this prologue could be Davros. Personally, I hope the ‘he’ in question is The Master, and “Missy” -*urrggh*, is one of his servants -(The Magicians Apprentice ?) and therefore is a new character in her own right – which perhaps would elevate her -or “is that just me being cynical ?” Or perhaps it will be something completely different and another twist…….Anyhoo, good prologue, look forward to see how it plays out.
Doctor Stu
September 12th, 2015 - 2:23pmMaybe missy is a future incarnation of the master and the weird man with the cracked face is the actual master currently

September 12th, 2015 - 3:02pmI just don’t like the awful “Missy” title. If The Master is going to be female, fine, no probs, just now the cat is out the bag, just call her ‘The Master’ and get on with it. Worst case scenario, this all turns into another Clara is the centre of the universe story, just like the idiotic “Ponds” before. But, hopeful of a good, well written and performed story. Looking forward to it.

September 12th, 2015 - 8:41am“His servants seek you everywhere.”
Come on people, surely we got Davros here.
doyouhearthem?
September 12th, 2015 - 9:42amI assumed it was stripy face.
Doctor Stu
September 13th, 2015 - 5:46pmHa stripey face
weeping angel
September 12th, 2015 - 12:14ami wonder if its the master or the weeping angels
caolan
September 11th, 2015 - 11:21pmOr John simm is returning as the master
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 12th, 2015 - 6:46amPrey Rassilon yes, cos like most fan’s, I don’t regard that Missy as the real Master, just an impostor who wants the Doctor to believe she is him.
Simeon
September 13th, 2015 - 11:14am“like most fans”?
Where on earth did you get that from?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 20th, 2015 - 7:40am😀
76 Totter’s Lane
September 11th, 2015 - 5:18pmThis is a separate prequel then from ‘The Doctor’s Meditation’ that they’re showing in the US cinemas as that has Daniel Hoffmann-Gill in and was filmed at Caerphilly Castle. Also, is that Clare Higgins as Ohila? She looks different.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 11th, 2015 - 5:33pmYep, Clare Higgin’s in back as Ohila since ‘Night of the Doctor’ 2 years ago 🙂
bigwhofan
September 11th, 2015 - 6:44pmJudging that the last time we saw her was when the Doctor was less than 900 years old in the Time War compared to being over 2,000 today, you’re bound to look a bit different during that time
CJ
September 11th, 2015 - 4:42pmI’m so excited!!! 😀
Trenzalore1502
September 11th, 2015 - 4:24pmIs that it? It was alright but nothing overly exciting.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 11th, 2015 - 3:19pm“I’ve put a lot of work into it”. Anyone whose ever seen Steven Moffat’s ‘The Curse of Fatal Death’ will recognize that bit of dialogue straight away !! 😀
JellyBaby100
September 11th, 2015 - 3:44pmYes! That’s were it’s from!
The Cyber Squirrel
September 11th, 2015 - 6:45pmIt’s also from The Eleventh Hour
doyouhearthem?
September 12th, 2015 - 9:43amOr from the power of three.
Dalek the Supreme
September 11th, 2015 - 2:15pmSo it is Karn… Well, we all already know the Doctor and that Sister of Karn are talking about the Master. I’m curious to know what enterprise they’re talking about. Turning the Daleks good? Finding Gallifrey? Or something else entirely?
100,000BC
September 11th, 2015 - 4:31pmBut what if they aren’t talking about the Master? Remember that the Doctor and Master were friends once and knew each other well (and don’t forget the Master is a ‘she’ now). What if they are talking about Davros, for example? We know the Daleks are in this episode and that the master is a ‘she’ (Missy) not a ‘he’ in the episode (unless there are two incarnations involved).
DOCTOR WHO ONE
September 11th, 2015 - 4:43pm100,000BC – Since the Doctor never said ‘She’ but ‘he’ during this prologue, he may not be referring to either Davros or the Master, he could in fact be referring too –
MORBIUS
Because I’m sure it’s been said that there will be a returning villian who has not yet made an appearance in the new series, and old Morbius has not yet appeared in the new series, and that hooded character with horizontal lines over his case could for all we now be a Morbius in a new body made for him . . . . after all, he was executed, reborn and died on Karn when introduced years ago, and it is Karn we are seeing in the above prologue, so it makes sense to me.
100,000BC
September 12th, 2015 - 1:50pmOoh, Morbius, I like that – but have you considered the possibility that it could be…
SIL THE GIANT SLUG!
Well, neither have I, actually, but anything’s possible in Doctor Who 😉

September 11th, 2015 - 1:19pmWow just wow cant wait for next week!
