    Um, what's so bad about Danny's past the Doctor doesn't approve of?

    Great spoilers, just caught up with them now.

    Apparently he used to be in the military

    Hmm, I wonder then if the whole UNIT having Danny as a spy on the Doctor/Clara rumours are true then.

    Seems rather a dull title if true. One of the few episodes we seem to know almost nothing about! Can't wait until Season 8 airs! :(

    It's not the most alliuring title but it does seem relevant considering the Doctor takes on a caretaker role in that episode though.

    Having read some of the scripts that were leaked, episode 4 does in fact sound completely mental. No doubt it will polarise viewers.

    Sounds like a bit of a riff on The Lodger. Love The Lodger. I think we can have a guess at who it is, especially as Coal Hill School is going to feature. :)

    (Eleven called himself that in that fan favourite TDTWATW too)

    Am so looking forward to the series, too. The leak is a bit of a fiasco, so should stay away from this thread, really! I just peak and run....might regret it.

    I had a glimpse at the opening of Episode 4, the pre-credits sequence is really fantastic. No idea what follows, but I look forward to finding out.

    I skimmed through episodes 3 and 4, will look at 1, 2 and 5 later if I can but ep 4 is definitely going to be a hugely discussion worthy episode.

    I do like Danny's story though, pretty interesting stuff and it's relieving to know that he's not going to be Mickey/Rory 2.0. Not that I thought he would be.

    I don't like the idea that he's a love interest for Clara. She doesn't NEED a love interest and that part feels tacked on by necessity. I hope the UNIT spy rumour is true and he does end up 'cyber-ed' in the end WITHOUT being a Rory and coming back. We don't need to recycle the 'boyfriend who dies but doesn't really' thing again.

    Given that he has a military background, Danny being a spy for UNIT actually seems pretty likely to be honest. I don't care about him being a love interest though. All the other companions have had a love interest, why not Clara? And it does seem like he'll be interesting enough in his own right that it shouldn't really be much of an issue.

    Its like 'The Lodger' when he became a lodger then.

    Yeah. That episode involves a school anyways, so the Caretaker role./title comes from that.

    The leaked scripts story is on the BBC news site now. Moffat must be furious. It's a shame really, as they've kept most of the forthcoming series so well guarded.

    It's just the same old boring notion that the female companion needs a love interest. I was never much of a fan of Amy and Rory as a relationship either and I hope Moffat doesn't feel the need to go down the same route again here.

    Glanced at the first page or so of Eps 1 and 5 (I'd already seen Ep1's opening scene posted online) but I'm not going to look at any more.


    One thing I saw was that
    the Woman in the shop who gave Clara the TARDIS phone number is going to be an ongoing mystery.

    I missed all the fuss about spoilers being leaked online. And all I can say is this.

    Thank God! I could have left mithering over plot details, characters, supposed endings etc. I think I'll be one of those special people who'll wait until the episodes are shown. :)

    Glanced over all 5 obviously wont see how it plays out till it hits screen the doctor does seem to still have a quirky and sarcastic type feelings kinda like a remodel of tom baker no huge sub plots so far all stand alone episodes with clara leaving the doctor each one Seems Danny is a guest role for now expect it to be like rory and join along the way either way no huge returns or plot twists in these 5 episodes

    Well what a shame.

    I can't see how the spoilers can be kept away. Loose lips and all that, cats out of bags.

    So, unfortunately, I'm going to have to ban myself from DW on the internet until late September.

    I'll probably get a lot of IRL stuff done.

    Tatty-bye, until then.

    If you mean literally 'The show needs viewers' then yes you are right. Every show does. But are you another person trying to insinuate its struggling? It isn't. It has millions of viewers. And lets not forget the majority of them won't be seeking out the scripts. Its the hardcore fans who will. And not even all of them will. I know I won't be. I love a spoiler. But reading the scripts before they even go to air? No thanks.
