Series 10 Episode 10 The Eaters Of Light Sat 17th June 6:45pm.
Written by Rona Munro and directed by Charles Palmer.
A long time ago, the ninth legion of the Roman army vanished into the mists of Scotland. Bill has a theory about what happened, and the Doctor has a time machine.
But when they arrive in ancient Aberdeenshire, what they find is a far greater threat than any army. In a cairn, on a hillside, is a doorway leading to the end of the world…
The Doctor is played by Peter Capaldi, Bill by Pearl Mackie and Nardole by Matt Lucas.

June 19th, 2017 - 5:19pmShe’s a Time Lord, don’t forget in Logopolis the 4th Doctor remarked that in many ways they have the same mind, she’s bound to have a mental link to him somehow.

June 18th, 2017 - 10:23amActual result 2.89 million. Lowest overnight rating in Doctor Who history! I knew it though!!! I called it at 2.8 million.

June 17th, 2017 - 4:28pmOkay, time to predict the overnight viewing figures. I’m going for a low 2.8 million. Due in part to people being out in the evening with the nice weather.

Doctor you
June 13th, 2017 - 9:28amShe will be put in the vault again offscreen. They probably also wouldn’t have allowed a mistake like that, not this far in

June 11th, 2017 - 4:23pmWasn’t ‘Empress of Mars’ and ‘The Eaters of Light’ swapped around from the intended transmission order. Meaning it originally should have been ‘The Eaters of Light’ followed by ‘Empress of Mars’, then the Mondasian Cybermen two part finale. So hopefully there isn’t a glaring continuity error, where Missy is still in the vault.

June 11th, 2017 - 9:59amI basically feel the same. But hey, it could be the best story ever before we know…or even worse than Love and Monsters. Time will tell. 🙂

June 11th, 2017 - 9:57amTo me, that scene at the end hints that the Doctor is in fact slowly dying but for some reason only Missy can see that.

June 11th, 2017 - 8:47amI think the story arc will take a big turn next week as a cliffhanger to set up the two part finale! I have questions!!
How does the John Simm fit into the series?
What can Missy see about the doctor that no-one else can?
So many more but I won’t bore anyone! I kind of have the feeling that he hasn’t been the same since he was exposed to the vacuum of space in oxygen.

June 11th, 2017 - 8:06amI know it’s only a ‘ next time’ trailer for ‘The Eaters of Light’, but I didn’t come away from it excited in anticipation. All looked and felt slight and dull and a bit boring. Hopefully the story itself proves those fears wrong.

June 10th, 2017 - 8:56pmNew writers always create anticipation, and it’s even more exciting due to the fact that Charles Palmer wrote Survival. I hope more classic who writers are brought back.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
June 10th, 2017 - 8:54pmHopefully we’ll find out next week. It’d be a bit remiss of them to not explain that.

June 10th, 2017 - 8:13pmSo does Missy get put back in the vault off-screen then?
