I believe the exercise worked well for Cold War, so I thought I would jump in and continue it for the episode I'm really looking forward to :)
Clara and the Doctor arrive at Caliburn House, a haunted mansion sat alone on a desolate moor. Within its walls, a ghost hunting Professor and a gifted psychic are searching for the Witch of the Well. Her apparition appears throughout the history of the building, but is she really a ghost? And what is chasing her?

It’s written by the man who penned “The Rings Of Akhaten”, but rest assured it’s much better.

    I think they'll be many who'd say it couldn't possibly be worse!
    (I'm not one of them BTW...)

    'Hide' looks like it might be like that SJA story in the haunted house :)

    Akhaten gets such a hard time....i ADORED the episode.

    Regardless i am very excited as to what this has to offer...dont know too much about this one apart from that creature in the trailer for series 7 that looked like a Silent intrigued me, and the setting of an abandoned old house and the woods gave me Hammer Horror vibes and the poster there also gives a very Horror vibe about it too.

    ghosts tend to unnerve me the most so yeah i know im gonna be chilled!

    Um. Has anyone else noticed how that doesn't look like Clara's hand in the poster...?

    Looking forward to this, looks like great production values, great story/concept and a great guest cast.

    I love the atmospheric episodes.

    Good catch. :D

    Someone's reaching over her shoulder with the candles.

    One of the clues is that a famous catchphrase returns.

    I think this'll be Clara's 'run you clever boy and remember'. There's a shot of her saying it in the BBCA series trailer and her hair looks like it does here.

    I'm even more excited for Hide now that I know the creepy monster seen in the Series 7 Part 2 trailer is in it as well as the "I am the Doctor...and I am afraid" scene.

    The BBCA trailer for this episode is out and, as usual, it seems to give a bit more away.
    Seems that the 'witch in the well' is a time traveler trapped in another 'dimension' and the Doctor goes in to rescue her.

    Really looking forward to this episode. I like episodes with this kind of atmosphere. It will be interesting to see if we get any progression with the 'Clara Who' arc as Doctor says "Clara, what is she?"

    And this is also the episode from the part 2 trailer with the line "I am The Doctor, and I am afraid"

    This was printed in Doctor Who magazine.

    Jessica Raine’s character, Emma, can tell what other characters are thinking and she has questions for the Doctor.

    Snippet of dialogue.
    CLARA: So, I am a ghost. To you. I’m a ghost. We’re all ghosts to you. We must be nothing.”
    DOCTOR: “No, you’re not that.”
    CLARA: “Then what are we? What can we possibly be?”
    DOCTOR: “The only mystery worth solving.”

    I hoping this means Clara finds out about the previous two versions of her.

    AS some of us liked The Rings of Akhaten, was that comment really necessary? :confused::(

    I loved The Rings of Akhaten ;) But it's a sensible marketing quote for the vocal folk writing off 'Hide' already because it's writer made an episode they didn't like.

    Cultbox Spoiler-Free Review:
    The Doctor and Clara barge in like an excited couple late for a fondue n' phantoms party - if that was ever a thing - interrupting the hunt for the Witch of the Well with Tennant levels of enthusiasm. It's refreshing to see Smith's Time Lord so truly eager about something, rather than enigmatically cocking his chin at another mystery.
    Cross is so particularly good at writing for Clara you'd think he created her, and Jenna-Louise Coleman has never been better, nor more button-cute. That she even manages a feisty rapport with a big blue box - in what's arguably the episode's best moment - is testament to just how much she belongs on this show

    “The lights were dimmed down and I remember going off for a little wander – which I’m sure isn’t allowed, but I just can’t resist it. It’s like going into territory you’re not meant to.”

    Maybe the tardis doesn't like Clara because she misses Amy, Rory and River ?. She told the doctor he brought back "strays". Back in S3 there was a joke about them being part of a hermit club and Martha said they were a bit like stray dogs. Tardis likes some people and not others. Maybe after this they will be freinds having sorted out whatever "issues" they have.Hope so she is staying for a while so they might as well get along for the doctors sake.

    and Jenna-Louise Coleman has never been better


    Interesting as this is the first episode she filmed as the companion (I'm guessing she did her Asylum filming prior to this but The Snowmen was afterwards).

    Similarly, The Time of Angels was often reviewed as "Smith's best yet" - which was also the first episode filmed.
