    The BBC have released a promo pic from Hell Bent, which is a bit spoilery. Though what it means is anybody's guess.

    Anyone who has the latest DWM may want to note that this picture is on page 30, with the caption...

    Spoiler:


    "The Doctor arrives in an American diner. But does he have a sad song to play..?"




    Of course this must mean a return to...

      Hands up who wants a poster of Jenna in that 50s waitress outfit? *Puts up hand*
      sigpic
      Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
      To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.

      Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
      And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

          I think I'll pass.

          The advert for the next DWM does mention that there wil be a "giant poster" in the Christmas edition. But it doesn't say who or what it will be of.

              Oh I am, don't worry about that. I've even stopped Googling "Doctor Who". I'm taking no chances.

                That last synopsis... I am never reading spoilers again. No way.

                  A bit of news regarding the Christmas Special from Steven Moffat. I've put it in spoilers as it may be considered a tinsy bit spoilery.

                  Spoiler:


                  River Song doesn’t recognise the Doctor in this year’s Christmas special, Steven Moffat reveals

                  http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-...moffat-reveals

                  River Song and the Doctor - two star (and time) crossed lovers who keep meeting in the wrong order. When David Tennant’s Doctor first encountered River, she had already lived through their entire romance, while he had no idea who she was. In this year’s Christmas special, the tables are turned.

                  “That's how the Christmas special begins,” showrunner Steven Moffat revealed to fans at the London Doctor Who Festival, “she doesn't know it's him.”

                  The Doctor (played by Matt Smith) was there at the moment River regenerated into her current Alex Kingston form, so this story can’t take place before they knew each other. Could it be that River simply doesn’t recognise her formerly boyish lover in his new face? And why doesn’t the Doctor let her know who he is?

                  “It's an opportunity for the Doctor to find out the terrible truth: what his wife gets up to when he's not looking,” Moffat cackled. “No one should ever go through that!"

                  Well, that should cause some fights over the turkey.

                  “Merry Christmas!”

                  Comment


                    Well, unless my sums are wrong (which is always a possibility) we have three episodes to go - taking us up to Saturday the 5th of December.

                    Then it's another twenty days until the Christmas Special.

                          Mark Gatiss has a sequel planned to Doctor Who’s Sleep No More
                          The writer told us about the value of an unhappy ending

                          By Jonathan Holmes
                          Saturday 14 November 2015 at 8:58PM


                          http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-...-sleep-no-more

                          [Spoiler warning for the end of Sleep No More]















































                          Thanks to Mark Gatiss, we might never sleep again. Not only did he create the sickening Sandmen –monsters made from the gunk in the corner of your eye– the writer gave us something truly horrifying: an unhappy ending.

                          To recap, the Doctor leaves the space station orbiting Neptune having not deduced the villainous Rassmussen’s (Reece Shearsmith) true plan. The insomnia-maniac is free to transmit his infected video throughout the solar system, potentially ending the human race.

                          Not that Gatiss seems bothered. He’s smiling.

                          “It does have an unhappy ending, yes,” Gatiss told RadioTimes.com during the Doctor Who Festival in London. “Earthshock might be the last time that happened. The Doctor loses.”

                          For an audience used to the Doctor always saving the day, it’s a shock when the credits roll. Why end on such a sour note?

                          “In my head the episode has a paranoid 70s bleakness to it, and all those films ended on an unhappy ending,” he explained. “I thought it was fascinating to do that, and obeying the rules of found footage, it needed a final twist. As with the whole format of the episode, it’s to ring the changes.”

                          Surely that’s a tough pitch to make behind the scenes?

                          “I didn’t encounter any resistance to that, and I thought I might.”

                          But is there any hope for mankind? Can the snivelling sleep scientist really be the one villain to truly best the Doctor?

                          “It doesn’t mean they’re going to win eventually. The Doctor knows something’s wrong, so he’s not fooled…and I do have a sequel planned.”

                          A sequel! Will it involve the Doctor trying to track down the infectious video? The Ring in Space?

                          “The Ring in Space is a good name! Like The Ark in Space. I’ve got a good idea. Pleasing my inner fan, the idea of doing a pairing, like the Yeti stories, is rather lovely. It pleases my Doctor Who self.”

                          There you go, there is hope after all. Gatiss is writing an episode for series 10 next year, but doesn’t know if it will be his planned villainous team-up. Until then, try not to lose sleep over it.

                            Blogtor Who has a review of Face the Raven in which he tells us absolutely nothing.

                            http://blogtorwho.blogspot.co.uk/201...ries-9-ep.html

                            However he does have some advice.


                            And I will politely add, this is not an episode to wait for. Or to iPlayer later, or to catch up elsewhere. Do yourself a favour and watch it on Saturday. You won't regret it.

                                Just wish that the 7th Doctor's umbrella was in stock at the moment...

                                ...Or that question mark patterned boxer shorts existed. LOL
