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.

    Moffat 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.

    I 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

    Maybe the pope will perform a miracle and heal the doctors eyes Probably too out there, even for Doctor who!

    River Song in the vault….

    Well, 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.

    What if the book sends them to it? Or the book leads into the pyramid problem?

    Firstly it’s ‘isn’t’ and secondly you don’t know that 😉

    You say that like you have foreknowledge of the episode…

    Missy ain’t in the vault

    If 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.

    Or 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.

    I’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.

    If 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.

    I was thinking that too!!

    Yes

    Oh my god missy is back I hope she as her own Tardis

    Hell yesss
    Sutekh is my all time favourite villain!!

    The episodes synopsis mentions a forbidden library also.

  • The Scientist Dalek

    May 13th, 2017 - 10:19pm

    The Veritas sends people to the library, that’s why Rivers diary is there perhaps. Looks like a library in the next time trailer.

    Because 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

    Oh, 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. :/

    I think this has basically proved that missy is in the vault.

    Cant wait!

    May 13th, 2017 - 8:39pm

    Saw the river song diary! I wonder why it is featured! I suspect the master missy thing will be in the finale

  • D0CT0R WH0

    May 13th, 2017 - 8:26pm

    Yes I saw that too.

  • anon

    May 13th, 2017 - 8:21pm

    Did that show River Song’s diary?

    Extremis 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.
