I’m tentatively excited for this one! Love a spooky scary episode, excited about a new writer, and the premise looks fun!

My new ‘weekend’ is Friday and Saturday so I woke up this morning confused as to why there was no DW :sob::sob:

This is the first episode of the new series I’ll be watching live (or rather, on the day of release - I’ll probably be sat on a train during the live broadcast, but will watch when I get in), so I’m very excited!

I tend to enjoy the more sci-fi horror-themed episodes, and this is the first time we’ve had that since Wild Blue Yonder, which is also the last televised story to get 5 stars from me - crossing my fingers this might be another all-timer! especially given the rumours linking it to a certain other story…

I’m confused about one thing; I see people claiming it’s connected with the episode “Midnight” , did RTD say something like that or is it just a theory?

Supposedly there is a leak ‘confirming’ that it’s a Midnight sequel or prequel but I’d take that with a pinch of salt because we won’t know anything for real until tomorrow!

I also went in and spoilered your comment because some people have managed to avoid seeing any rumours at all :purple_heart:

Oh I’m sorry! I didn’t think that through

If you want to talk rumours and leaks more closley, there are separate threads for those. Let’s try to keep the leaks at minimum here so those who prefer not to know anything won’t be spoiled even by mistake :slight_smile:

I apologize I didn’t even know there was a leak actually , I just keep seeing comments about it

No problem! I wish I didn’t know about the leaks, because I prefer to go in to the new episodes knowing as little as possible. One thing that RTD has confirmed earlier is that one of the episodes this season is “an unexpected sequel”, which is also why some people suspect that it is this episode.

I’m still excited about this because it has been described as one of the scariest episodes ever, so I hope to be properly scared!

I see , it’s just that even in instagram people kept talking about it under official Doctor Who post and I was confused about it , I didn’t mean to give any potential spoilers

Don’t worry about, it’s quite all right :slight_smile: those rumours have been floating around for a while so a lot of people have probably seen them somewhere.

You have been planning that post for a while, haven’t you? You were very fast to post it!

I made the same joke in another topic a day or two ago :joy:

This is one of the episodes I was curious about (although reading the synopsis, I don’t know now…we’ll see), but I really need to watch “Lux” today. I know if I get too great a backlog for episodes, I’ll “never” get around to watching them.

I didn’t have a place to watch it, and then when I did, I wanted to watch Industry (or do other things) instead :face_savoring_food:.
