31st October is a Saturday this year... Mark Gatiss is said to be writing a scary episode which looks to be episode 9. Working our way backwards then, series 9 would start on 5th September.
Wonder if the Mark Gatiss episode is the ghost story that was teased late last year? And how will children's trick-or-treating be impacted by a new episode of Doctor Who on TV?

The broadcasting date has not been announced as of yet.
Second:
Considering that filming began on 5th January this year, It could be possible for his episode to be shown on 31st October.
Gatiss himself said he was writing a scary one, which would fit in.
Although he's not been officially confirmed for the ninth episode it'd make sense for him to be there - he's been in every Moffat series since, and has indicated he's written multiple scripts for Capaldi's Doctor.
Indeed, working backwards we figure out the series would debut on Saturday 5th August, aligned with the odd comments here and there that have mentioned a September start, along with the fact that it would just make sense to start it then.
So, nothing official, but all signs point to yes right now. If so lets hope it turns out scary for all the right reasons.
It's not, eps 7 and 8 are confirmed as a two-parter written by Harness
The Idiot's Lantern was so-so as were Victory of the Daleks, Night Terrors and The Crimson Horror.
I did enjoy Cold War quite a bit and I thought Robot of Sherwood was good fun too (I know I'm in the minority there, though).
I'm a huge League of Gentlemen fan and I would love to see the Doctor take on Papa Lazarou!
21st century Doctor Who series have nearly always started at bank holiday weekends.
That could be how Clara leaves - she becomes Papa Lazarou's wife... :D
You've just made me feel sorry for Papa Lazarou
Haha! It could be his undoing...
"You are MINE now!!"
And to top it all, bring in Tubbs from the local corner shop!
