Series 10 Episode 6 Extremis 7.25pm Saturday 20th May
Extremis. Written by Steven Moffat and directed by Daniel Nettheim.
In the Haereticum – the Vatican’s secret library of blasphemy – there is an ancient book known only as The Veritas.
Throughout history, anyone who has ever read it has immediately taken their own life.
Now a new translation is online, and the danger is spreading. The Vatican appeals to the Doctor. Will he read The Veritas? But can even the Doctor survive the ultimate truth?
The Doctor is played by Peter Capaldi, Bill by Pearl Mackie and Nardole by Matt Lucas. Michelle Gomez guest stars as Missy.

May 15th, 2017 - 5:21pmMoffat wouldn’t reveal missy is in series 10 if he wanted to keep it secret. He wouldn’t spoil what’s in the vault. I don’t think it’s missy. Besides in the series 10 trailer when the doctor says ” Something’s coming Bill” we see that the doors are being heavily hit whatever’s inside. I think it’s an alien. A strong one.

May 15th, 2017 - 3:40pmI think that the Valyard is in the vault and he has Peter Capaldi face. I would love to see Peter do a good v evil aspect to his character and he is such an incredible actor that he would pull off playing two characters so so well.
Plus I would be really surprised if Moffat didn’t do something with the Valyard

May 14th, 2017 - 10:33pmMaybe the pope will perform a miracle and heal the doctors eyes Probably too out there, even for Doctor who!

May 14th, 2017 - 5:49pmWell, Missy wouldn’t be too impressed being trapped in the Vault. So naturally she makes an effort to get her revenge on the Doctor…and summon John Simm’s Master into battle.
Stop that TARDIS
May 14th, 2017 - 4:56pmWhat if the book sends them to it? Or the book leads into the pyramid problem?
Stop that TARDIS
May 14th, 2017 - 4:55pmFirstly it’s ‘isn’t’ and secondly you don’t know that 😉
The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 14th, 2017 - 12:25pmYou say that like you have foreknowledge of the episode…

May 14th, 2017 - 12:17pmMissy ain’t in the vault

May 14th, 2017 - 11:23amIf it is Missy in the vault why has she not escape ? Seeing as who ever is inside can open the doors,so I think Missy is to obvious.

May 14th, 2017 - 8:51amOr rather, not for the first time. That’s what I meant to say in conclusion. But it’s often been the Master needing an alliance with the Doctor, when he/she gets into a mess with their plot. (Terror of the Autons and Logopolis’ spring immediately to mind). So maybe the Doctor is in a mess and now needs an unhealthy alliance with the Master/Missy.

May 14th, 2017 - 8:45amI’m convinced it is Missy in the vault. It looks like the Doctor will need her help whilst he is blind. A reluctant reliance…not for the time.

May 14th, 2017 - 7:06amIf you haven’t seen the last episode yet, don’t read any further
The Doctor while suffering a serious handicap (a first) is going to visit the Vatican (a first) this 3 parter is looking very interesting.
The Living Shadow
May 14th, 2017 - 12:16amI was thinking that too!!

May 13th, 2017 - 10:33pmOh my god missy is back I hope she as her own Tardis

May 13th, 2017 - 10:23pmHell yesss
Sutekh is my all time favourite villain!!
The Scientist Dalek
May 13th, 2017 - 10:21pmThe episodes synopsis mentions a forbidden library also.
The Scientist Dalek
May 13th, 2017 - 10:19pmThe Veritas sends people to the library, that’s why Rivers diary is there perhaps. Looks like a library in the next time trailer.
The Dalek Whovian
May 13th, 2017 - 10:02pmBecause the episode after this called “The Pyramid at the end of the word” wouldn’t it be cool if this leads to Sutek the Destroyer?
The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 13th, 2017 - 9:29pmOh, but has it? If Missy is in the vault, then why is she in the trailer?
Then again, the official synopsis for Heaven Sent says “Gallifrey is waiting” so Missy being in the trailer doesn’t necessarily prove otherwise. :/

May 13th, 2017 - 9:21pmI think this has basically proved that missy is in the vault.

The Master
May 13th, 2017 - 8:39pmSaw the river song diary! I wonder why it is featured! I suspect the master missy thing will be in the finale

May 13th, 2017 - 8:26pmYes I saw that too.

May 13th, 2017 - 8:21pmDid that show River Song’s diary?

May 13th, 2017 - 8:18pmExtremis is Latin for “in the farthest reaches” or “the point of death”.
And this will be the first of the three parter and supposedly the reveal of the occupant of the vault.
