June 24th, 2017 - 8:28pmI feel like this was meant to be a 50th anniversary celebration for the Cybermen with old designs coming back. A late party is better than no party and this looks good
Sherlock Holmes
June 24th, 2017 - 8:16pmWhat have you done?! You’ve killed us all!!!
prototype dalek
June 24th, 2017 - 8:15pmDoes this mean we will see late 60’s, 70’s and 80’s Cybermen?
Sherlock Holmes
June 24th, 2017 - 8:10pmThat really wouldn’t work.
Firstly, he’s much more suitable for an evil role
Secondly, then there would be the doctor and the master with the same face
The moff
June 24th, 2017 - 7:48pmJohn Simms said in the episode that he was missy’s past and she his future self so no it wouldn’t make sense for Jacobi to turn up

June 24th, 2017 - 7:41pmWith the ship travelling at different time rates the cyber men’s gradual upgrades have all happened, hence why we are going to see most versions of the cybermen.

June 24th, 2017 - 7:36pmThey’re doing audio Story series with Derek Jacobs as the war master.

June 17th, 2017 - 10:26pmHere’s what I’d like to see happen.
John Simms tries to kill The Doctor but Missy sacrifices herself to save him. She regenerates into Derek Jacobi and Simms escapes. Jacobi is disoriented from the regeneration so the Doctor takes the opportunity to use the fob watch on him then takes him to the far future and leaves him there as Professor Yana. Sorted.
Doctor no more
June 17th, 2017 - 10:00pmWhat if the new doctor is played by. ….John simm? He’d be brilliant

June 17th, 2017 - 6:41pmThat would be fantastic the Outcast!

June 17th, 2017 - 3:14amThat would be great

June 16th, 2017 - 8:58pmThatd make sense. I thought that from dark water when i first saw her as missy but then i thought itd be stupid. Its good to see some people think the same things. The reason i thought it from the dark water two parter is that we didnt see a regen from roberts to jacobi and moffat used thw same thing for 8 to war

June 16th, 2017 - 8:11pmJack 100% needs it return it would be long overdue

June 16th, 2017 - 8:11pmToo often in the past I’ve hyped myself up for a great story, only to be left feeling flat after it. I’ve learned to go into it with an open mind, and just see what develops. The disappointment isn’t as bad then.
Doctor Stu
June 16th, 2017 - 8:11pmWhat if Missy regenerates into Derek Jacobi id be shook. Don’t know where that thought came from but…
Doctor Stu
June 16th, 2017 - 8:08pmWouldn’t it be great if Susan comes back at the end to guide him into his next regeneration like Amy did for eleven
Tim M
June 16th, 2017 - 8:08pmI’m hoping the Valeyard comes about from this complex regeneration. That would tie up a loose end of the classic series.
Doctor Stu
June 16th, 2017 - 8:06pmYeh expect the least and then enjoy what actually happens. That’s how I’ve got through series 10, expecting it to be abysmal and then being pleasantly surprised when the episode actually turns out to be watchable.
Doctor Stu
June 16th, 2017 - 8:05pmIs it just me who’d love an emotional Christmas special with the Doctor just phasing in and out of consciousness and revisiting all his previous companions from his run and wrapping up his story and then regenerating at the end
Tim M
June 16th, 2017 - 5:33pmI always find it’s best to down play expectations, that way, if you are disappointed, you won’t have a bigger fall from excitement.

June 16th, 2017 - 2:28pmOh great, thanks for that! If it is worse (don`t see how it could be) I will never forgive myself 🙁
The Outcast
June 16th, 2017 - 1:17pmQuote from Pats86: ‘Whatever happens will be better than season nines finale, *it couldn’t be any worse could it?*’
You’ve doomed us all. You’ve Jinxed it.
The Outcast
June 16th, 2017 - 1:15pmI think something similar might happen. I think at the end of the finale, we’ll see 12 become 13 and this will be set just before then with Twelve being guided through his Regeneration by the First Doctor. We’ll probably see a lot of cameos from past people, Clara (who he’ll probably remember) maybe other Doctor’s, Susan, Bill and Nardole (depends on what happens to them tho), maybe River and Captain Jack too?

June 16th, 2017 - 8:28amWhat would be cool is if at the end of the finale he died but had his ability to regenerate suspended!
Then the Christmas special could be a Life on Mars type episode where he has to work out, in his own mind, what he needs to do to regenerate.
And all the old doctors could be there playing different characters guiding him in the right direction! We could even see 13 playing a part.
Moffat did say he was working with Chibnall on a different regeneration.
That’s just what I would do though. Seems silly now ive written it down.

June 16th, 2017 - 6:50amWhatever happens it will be better than season nines finale, it couldn’t be any worse could it?
Very excited to see Simm’s Master again and the Mondasian Cybermen. The best thing that could happen is Capaldi’s Doctor regenerating at the end and shocking us all with an earlier than expected new Doctor, Moffat throwing a major shock with the Xmas special being Chibnall’s first episode. (Must add that I will miss Capaldi’s Doctor)
Jordan Scott
June 15th, 2017 - 11:42pmI’m really hyped for the finale, I really hope it’s one of the best ever if not THE best! It’d be great to have my expectations exceeded and for both Moffat and Capaldi to go out with a bang.
Tim M
June 15th, 2017 - 9:36pmSo it’s the Doctor’s final battle apparently. So does that mean we will start to see the 12th Doctor regenerate at the end, but will be complicated transformation, that will inhabit the whole of the Christmas Special?
Doctor Stu
June 15th, 2017 - 8:48pmMondasian cybermen are on the rise which means their introduced in the first half which is great more cyberman action
The Temporal Jelly Baby
June 15th, 2017 - 6:19pmNice and short with no major spoilers. A major improvement on the synopsis for Heaven Sent in 2015 (spoiled the return of Gallifrey). Let’s just hope the next time trailers follow suit.
