Series 10 Episode 8 The Lie Of The Land Sat 3rd June 19.35pm
The Lie Of The Land. Written by Toby Whithouse and directed by Wayne Yip.
The world is gripped by a mass delusion and only Bill Potts can see the truth. When even the Doctor is fighting on the wrong side, it’s up to Bill to convince the Time Lord that humanity is in deadly danger. And if she can’t do that, she may just have to kill her best friend…
The Doctor is played by Peter Capaldi, Bill by Pearl Mackie and Nardole by Matt Lucas. Michelle Gomez guest stars as Missy

June 1st, 2017 - 10:39pmFrom rumours i have read this evening, the Monks have always been there, having defended us from Sontarans, Weeping Angels, Cybermen and the Daleks.
But like i say, its rumors i have read.

June 1st, 2017 - 11:43amI’m certain this is going to be an alternative timeline. Similar to ‘Turn Left’ and ‘The Last of the Time Lords’. If it is, they might as well make this 3 parter all a dream.
The Living Shadow
May 31st, 2017 - 1:32pmOh yes, I’m willing to bet all my money that it’ll be a false regeneration

May 29th, 2017 - 9:54pmOh right, but c’mon, its Moffat, its probably wrong

May 29th, 2017 - 9:52pmThe Doctor Will See You Now, john simm’s master wasnt last seen in series 3, it was Tge End of Time parts 1 & 2 back in 2009 & 2010.

May 29th, 2017 - 9:00pmThe Master, who regenerates into Missy!

May 29th, 2017 - 8:59pmI’m in agreement with you on this one. Leaving in the Doctor in a dead end timeline, what’s he to do?

May 29th, 2017 - 11:29amIt seems certain parallels can be drawn, yes. Others have noticed that too. Especially seeing as it may turn out that the events in the episode never happened (similar to the year that never was). Maybe Toby Whithouse took some inspiration from that episode. Though since this is an episode that aired nearly 10 years ago (oh, how time passes) I’m willing to look past any plot similarities.
The Outcast
May 29th, 2017 - 9:05amBut Derek Jacobi aren’t in this series. I think the most likely situation for the Finale is a Multi-Master story where Saxon Master and Missy meet and the ending results in Simm regenerating into Missy to prove she is the Master and not a fake and also fill the gap to make fans (some of them atleast) happy.
The Doctor Will See You Now
May 29th, 2017 - 8:46amThe Lie of the Land trailer reminds me strongly of the Season 3 episode ‘Last of the Time Lords’.
Everyone is wearing plain grey clothing like the Master forced the people to do, everyone has been forced into suppression by aliens, and most of all, the John Simm Master who was in ‘Last of the Time Lords’ is back for Season 10!

Crackpot of tea
May 28th, 2017 - 8:33pmWe’ll she could be before Jacobi, my theory was she would regenerate into sir Derek and it would be the 12th doctor who leaves him alone with the fob watch

May 28th, 2017 - 8:19pmThere is a scene in a pre-season teaser of the Doctor seemingly regenerating. Looking at this ‘Next Time’ trailer, it looks like the Doctor is in the same room as he was in the pre-season teaser.

May 28th, 2017 - 7:29pmHave i missed a different trailer to the one at the end of the episode? The regeneration isnt in the trailer, jusf clips of Bill looking different, Nardole,the Doctor sayin hes joined the monk things and Missy looking like she has been dragged through a hedge backwards…. but no orangy yellow regeneration effects
Tim M
May 28th, 2017 - 11:01amBut, knowing Moffat…it will all end in a convenient reset button. An alternative time line or something. As we know Capaldi features throughout this series. So it clearly won’t be a ‘proper’ regeneration. Which made me think that perhaps the Valeyard could be created by this alternate timeline. If indeed it is an alternate timeline?
The Outcast
May 28th, 2017 - 10:57amWhich is impossible, as Jacobi comes before Simm…
The Outcast
May 28th, 2017 - 10:57amBut he popped in to the vault to have a chat at the end of ‘Knock Knock’, so she knows he’s wore others in the meantime.

May 28th, 2017 - 10:50amWould be interesting concept, if the Doctor has made a miss step. So he gets shot and his regeneration inadvertently creates a bad Doctor…the Valeyard!

May 28th, 2017 - 8:21amand who let the monks through….

May 28th, 2017 - 7:55amMissy might regenerate into the master in this one.
The Living Shadow
May 27th, 2017 - 10:55pmI think the Doctor has made a bit of a wardrobe error- He’s wearing the same coat that he wore when he last saw Missy, so she’ll think he hasn’t changed his coat in over 200 years, and that isn’t a good impression to leave!!! Silly Doctor!

May 27th, 2017 - 9:48pmReally looking forward to the return of Missy, the Doctor’s “regeneration” and seeing what can possibly be done to stop the monks!
The Dalek Whovian
May 27th, 2017 - 9:38pmWhat if the Doctor was a bad guy? Now that’s I concept I would like to see explored

May 27th, 2017 - 9:21pmin the words of a previous character of new who. ‘this will be SPECTACULAR’
prototype dalek
May 27th, 2017 - 9:04pmI understand that, especially in past experiences. Cant wait either!
The Temporal Jelly Baby
May 27th, 2017 - 9:03pmI’m also really looking forward to this. I can only try to keep my expectations at a sensible level *just in case* it’s disappointing. But I doubt it will be! Looks awesome.
