I saw that as well. Really makes me feel like we are in for a Utopia-style start to the finale.

The songs better be bangers. Weighing up whether to watch this at 8 or after seeing what happens on here with the FA cup for a bit of :sparkles:drama :sparkles:

I don’t watch Eurovision so I really have no idea what to expect going in, but based on trends this season, I expect another banger. Maybe this will be my excuse to start watching (probably not)

There’s a new video on Instagram posted on the Doctor Who account of RTD explicitly warning about spoilers for tomorrow’s ep..

Not particularly looking forward to this one, unfortunately - I’m not a Eurovision guy, so devoting a whole episode to that kind of setting does nothing for me. I’m also not very excited about the idea of Mrs Flood being more involved in this one (no disrespect to Anita Dobson, I’m just a bit sick of the character). The idea of it turning into a bit of a Die Hard-in-space type story later on is intriguing though.

Similar feeling, I’m indifferent to Eurovision.

“A Flood of spoilers”, eh Russell?

Well, I’ve never watched Eurovision once in my entire life so this could go either way.

I have seen one other Juno Dawson story and it was Orr, which I feel completely indifferent to, so I also have no real predictions there.

Bets on the crazy spoilers Russell’s been teasing turning out to be yet another classic villain returning.

Maybe if you want people to avoid spoilers, don’t put the episode on iPlayer at 8 in the morning first…? :wink:

Either they were just showing off the Moment prop…

Or something big is going to happen!

Probably the former.

Or the Moment turns up as a contenstant on ISC. The backdrop on stage will be a montage of War Doctor pix.
