    DWM Episode Highlights: http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/tantalising-details-on-series-8-episodes-5-8-66791.htm?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DoctorWhoTv+%28Doctor+Who+TV%29
    The Mummy was deemed too scary by the BBC and will require a later time slot.

    Guessing The Mummy was the monster we were told couldn't be included in the trailer because it was too nasty.
    "by the end of the episode things will never be the same again due to the Doctor’s actions."

    Peter Harness: “I still don’t know how people will take it. I’m in this kind of limbo now waiting for people to see it, and I’ve no idea, really I do not know how it is going to go down."

    “I’ve never seen the Doctor do something like this before…”
    The title suggests a silly romp, but it is not that at all. It’s actually very dark with a lot of deaths
    It’s claustrophobic horror.

    The Harness quote is for Kill The Moon - was too late to edit.

    I haven't felt this way about Doctor Who for ages, but going by the episodes so far and those previews, I'm really quite excited! :D

    Agreed. The latter half of this series continues to really interest me - on top of the already solid start (IMO).

    Absolutely. The Mummy episode is a definite must see, if only to see how really scary it is. I've thoroughly enjoyed the series so far. Because I've seen the show through the mind of a child watching it for the first time. I wish more fans could do that...;-)

    Courtney is going to the moon. Cue row over if she is a companion. ;-)

    She's the cloned offspring of Rose and River Song grown in a laboratory by the Rani played by Paul McGann!

    This thread's good friend, trackboy, has thrown this out there..
    @trackboy13
    13 is always a better number than 12 #DoctorWho
    @Ruther2 @trackboy13 Number of episodes maybe?

    Yes, there was a brief regeneration panic :p

    What? An extra episode? Why isn't it scheduled?

    Should have clarified - it was in reference to Series 9.

    Kill the Moon Synopsis
    In the near future, the Doctor and Clara find themselves on a space shuttle making a suicide mission to the Moon.
    Crash-landing on the lunar surface, they find a mining base full of corpses, vicious spider-like creatures poised to attack, and a terrible dilemma.

    When Clara turns to the Doctor for help, she gets the shock of her life.

    It's going to be true now, isn't it?

    Can't say I've ever heard of them - hope they will be in good hands.

    Gumede is brilliant. Probably my fave bit of casting for this special so far.

    If Clara is off and away, I guess it's too hopeful that Gumede is in the special as replacement companion material :p

    Maybe she's playing Clara's and Danny's daughter.


    Could even be the Woman in the shop. ;-)


    Might explain why Orson wasn't sure if it was a grandparent or great grandparent that time travelled. Maybe they both did.

    I know what you mean. She's perfect companion actress material.

    I'm not keen on Gumede, to be honest. Her character on Coronation Street was awful and her performance certainly did nothing to make the character bearable -- quite the contrary in fact. If Clara does leave (I hope she doesn't btw) I'd rather Marsey became the companion. Her credentials are quite impressive.

    FWIW we don't know who or what Natalie Gumede is even playing, yet.

    She could be a Sontaran or a Hypnotoad :D

    If she's going (and it will be this Christmas or during series 9 because I don't think they're giving her enough to tempt her to stay longer) then I'm sure they'll announce it soon. It's not fair on Jenna to keep it secret as she'll be wanting to get new jobs AND they'll need to hire someone new for January.
