Let the speculation begin?

[Pitry]

According to RTD, the series 4 catchword(s) were mentioned twice in Sound of Drums/ Last of the Time Lords, once by

Spoiler:

The Master

.

Any takers?

[Mr Prophet]

Say my name.

Okay, I can't remember if the Doctor actually said it, but it's got that iconic quality.

Oh no! I don't like these words of the series things, Bad Wolf just left me more confused then entertained... as for Saxon, well I only realised it was the word in the last ep.

Hmm, something to do with Gallifrey?

[Reefgirl]

Spoiler:

The Vortex?

[Billz]

Spoiler:

Chameleon Arch?

[Commander Jumper]

Spoiler:

Telletubbies

[Anubis69]

Poop. I've watched pretty much everything he's said in those episodes half a dozen times and can't think at all...

Wait,

Spoiler:

The hand?

Too obvious?

ETA:

Spoiler:

Axons?

[P-90_177]

Don't forget RTD is very good at misdirection. Don't bother thinking too hard.

[Wordsmit2]

Wait,

Spoiler:

The hand?

Well... All I could think about that ending was "Jeez, doesn't the Doctor remember

Spoiler:

'The Hand of Fear'? Remove any jewelry, you fool!"

So my guess is something like

Spoiler:

ring.

[Pitry]

Anubis69's second option

Spoiler:

I doubt it. I mean, it's way too obvious and it's way too straight-forward. Axons were already seen in Doctor Who, there's a limit as to how much you can catchphrase that.

First option. - real series 4 minor spoilers...

Spoiler:

Problematic. They already said there's an arc for the hand - also quite obvious from the way they concentrated no it being in the TARDIS now, so I doubt it's the catch phrase/word/thingie.

Erm,

Spoiler:

I wonder if it's Gallifrey. Gallifrey was mentioned a couple of times, by both the Doctor and the Master in Sound of Drums and then once in Last of the Time Lords by the Master. However I doubt it, unless they're planning something insane such as bringing back gallifrey....
"rift" was said twice by the Master.
And then there are the speculations about "civilisation zero", kone of the DVD covers in Bluink that made quite an odd appearance in the BBC website for Sound of Drums. And the Master did say the world civilisation

[pbellosom]

I liked the sound of

Spoiler:

Civilisation zero

, also seems to me the most likely one of the ones mentioned so far. Could be

Spoiler:

Gallifrey

but I'm fairly certain that the Doctor would notice a word like that being bandied around alot and there is only one imaginable way such an arc would end

But ti would be such an insanely cool way, don't you think?

[Flyboy]

Spoiler:

Could the hand be something to do with the Valeyard?

[pbellosom]

For an actual show finale that would be pretty cool but as a season finale, it would make the next season nowhere near as good.

[Dave9946]

Well my first option is something to do with Gallifray. For RTD to be allowd to make major changes to the shows history, the BBC would have probably put conditions on this in that he reverse things in the future.

In any case I expect to see the return of Gallifray or at least the time lords by the end of the next series.

Then again it's also been mentioned that for the next series a single episode is being filmed in a seperate block (a block normally being 3 or 4 eps\stories at a time) behing closed doors and in secret.

RTD has said of the mid series episode that we are taking Dr Who into uncharted territory and doing something we have never done before?.

Speculate on the secret episode then?.

Prehaps a Davros story without the Daleks?
A Dalek story for 4 series running?, which has not been done since the 60's
The Doctor meets one of his parents?
Susan returns?
