Thanks! This above all other episodes was a big challenge to keep spoiler-free. Unusallu, reviewers were given seven specific plot points that we are absolutely, definitely NOT allowed to even hint at.
One for each TARDIS key?
I am almost at '5 year old on Christmas Eve' excitement levels about this episode...come on Saturday!!
koquillion..me too..got me through my day today and im pretty sure i did a full blown skip with excitement whilst walking on the pavement through town and pondering Saturday.
slouchingthatch it must be ridiculously hard to keep your lips sealed...or incredibly satisfying to know
Of course it's good to be in the know, although for most shows I review it's only by 4 or 5 days. Sky are good as they will often send out several episodes at once rather than one at a time, which for some US shows means I can be several weeks ahead of even US viewers.
But it is a double-edged sword too. It's fun interacting with people here and to be able to be part of the pre-episode trickle of teasers. But at the same time I have no one I can talk to about what I've seen, and I steer away from the more speculative discussions as it's too easy to get drawn into saying something (or not saying something) that results in a spoiler.
Hopefully all us previewers strike a decent balance between offering oblique hints but without giving the game away!
slouchingthatch understand this totally..fascinating insight too, thank you.
I would be terrible at it..would last about 10 minutes and then blurt out everything in a self combusting waffle of excitement..then feel terrible about it after.
I once looked for christmas presents..didnt find any but my parents told me they were very disappointed in me...was guilt ridden for the entire holidays (this wasnt last year I was 9 ..honest )
also slouchingthatch...I can offer a counselling service for previewers (theres clearly a gap in the market here) special tv sofa..cup of tea..nice music. Come and offload all your built up knowledge of spoilery happenings and leave feeling refreshed and unburdened.....i wont say a thing..promise

Heh. :-)
Hang in there. Not long to go now and then we'll all be on the same footing!
Watching her playing opposite Peter Capaldi feels like a pair of exes who really should have stopped bothering to try and still be friends years ago, but make for a magnificent trainwreck every time one of them inevitably forgets this and decides to drunk-dial the other.
This is possibly the best description I've ever heard of the relationship between the Doctor and the Master.
I hope they don't kill Missy off or have her regenerate again - I want Michelle Gomez to be Pater Capaldi's nemesis, popping up when you least expect her.
But at the same time I have no one I can talk to about what I've seen, and I steer away from the more speculative discussions as it's too easy to get drawn into saying something (or not saying something) that results in a spoiler.
I'm on Twitter and it's pretty tricky to avoid this kind of thing
On the strength of what slouchingthatch has said I wonder if missy tells the doc she's been watchin him all along and then the openin credits shows two tardises ?
It all started out at a world premiere in Cardiff...
...we've seen dinosaurs and daleks. robots and mummies...
...now it all comes down to this, with the return of The Master & the Cybermen...
....on the final CapalDay of the series!
Hope we get to find out who gave Clara the Tardis phone number tonight... I assumed it was Missy but Clara didn't react at all when she and the Doc first clapped eyes on her last week... I'd have thought she might say " Doctor, that's her... the woman who gave my the Taris phone number'... but no reaction at all

Well it has been two or three years for Clara and I doubt Missy was dressed as Mary Poppins if she was trying to disguise herself as someone working in a computer shop.
The Master always liked his disguises so with (for example) a blonde wig, glasses and 21st century clothes I doubt Clara would put two and two together.
I'm sure Missy will reveal she was the woman (if indeed she was) when she explains her cunning plan.

Love the poster, looks like an old genre James Bond movie poster:D
The Cyberman as James Bond and Missy as a bond girl:D
Missy- Oh Cyberman, you're so strong
Cyberman-
Missy- You don't say much do you?
Cyberman-
