We haven't even had the Interstellar song contest yet, but CultBox has already assembled details for the episode after that. Synopsis, cast as well as a smattering of rumours and speculation.
There are certain tells that this week's episode will lead straight into the two-part finale, so I'll just park this here for those who might want to fuel their excitement as soon as they watched tomorrow's show.
Spoilers! </River Song voice>
The Great Day is coming, the most important date in history — 24 May 2025. The clock is ticking and everyone is preparing for a joyous tomorrow, when the whole world will change forever.
Welcome to a strange new world in which the old saying “There’s many a slip ‘twixt cup and lip” is gaining a terrifying new power. Even when a good outcome seems certain, things can still go wrong.
What are the Bone Beasts? Why is Mrs Flood hiding in the sky? What secrets do the Dispossessed keep? And why is a mysterious message echoing across time and space, saying, “Tables don’t do that”?
Traps are sprung and old enemies unite as the Doctor and Belinda finally arrive home to find a very different world. Can the Doctor see the truth before midnight arrives?
[Oh, Midnight again? So soon?]
- Space Baby Poppy returns after a brief appearance in The Story & The Engine
- Millie Gibson returns as Season One companion Ruby Sunday
- Bonnie Langford reprises her role as former companion and UNIT operative Melanie Bush
- Susan Triad, the tech mogul who offered service to UNIT, is back
- Conrad Clark, having been released from prison by Mrs Flood, is back to foment his version of reality
- Lakshmi Chandra is possibly a relative of Belinda, perhaps her mother
- Not only are there Bone Beasts but there is also a Bone Palace
- Archie Panjabi, heavily rumoured to play a villain in the series, is not on the cast list
[I would also add that we have two characters in the cast list called Otto and Violett Zufall. "Zufall" is German for "coincidence", and... not actually used as a last name. I'll just put it out here that the goblins in "Church on Ruby Road" fed on coincidence, and let you all run with that]
