Love the flashbacks

So Missy is dead and Bill is gone so who the next companion?

Oh my god I just about ****ing wept @ Bill's exit

So we can rule out Kris Marshall as the Doctor? because it was said he had already filmed for this series

BYE at Bill leaving.

And meh. Frankly season 11 can't come quick enough

Mess at Missy originally meant to be pregnant

This link says the 13th doctor will be revealed in due time before the Christmas special.
Keep it secret and give us a surprise for gods sake!!!!

They ALWAYS reveal the new Doctor. If anything it acts as a piece of major promotion ahead of the new series, and will sometimes determine if people will watch or not. I don't agree that they should keep the new actor a secret. I love finding out who the new Doctor will be. I hope they do it in a live show like they did for Capaldi's reveal.

Clara-lite

They are terrified of making death stick on this show.

Might as well leave it until after the Christmas special and start a new thread for the Chibnall era.

That's a good point, shall do that! Wonder if he'll revamp the logo? It's been seven years since they revealed this one. (With the DW part mind)

Not enough Master. Not enough Missy.

And, as always with companion exits, they tacked just a little too much onto the end and threw in the fact that her death wasn't "permanent".

I wasn't a big fan of Amy, but at least she simply left without fuss, most of the others got about 3 endings. :joker:

David Bradley's role was leaked by the press, it's unfortunate I agree but it's what happens in this day and age. Things spread like wildfire quicker than usual.

David Bradley's role isn't the same thing. He's playing a Doctor we know and have seen before.

The new doctor is always announced beforehand. I'd like it to be a surprise so we can simply watch him change and be surprised whether it's a well known actor like Capaldi or a brand new face to the business. But they always like to use the new actor/companion and the reveal of who they are/will be as major promotion to get attention prior.

Also, problem is that if you keep a star like David Bradley appearing a secret, you'd get the usual people tuning in. It's a way of getting other viewers interested.

I started to wonder that when we were getting those wide shots of the Tardis and seeing the icons and stuff above the console rotating. They don't really play around enough with the shots in the Tardis as much as I'd like, they've got some good design work in there.

But, anyway, it got me wondering about whether Chibnall will change everything, including the Tardis, like Moffat did. I imagine we'll get a new theme/titles and that could include an updated logo I suppose.

I'd like to think that Chibnall will revamp everything and make it his own.

So effectively Bill was turned into a Cybermen, Heather reversed the process, the Doctor is lying dead on the floor and Bill's actual exit is that she's off to get laid?

I don't like that Moffat just effectively tried to murder the Master/Missy though.

Obviously it's left open.

I half expected him to give Missy some regeneration energy to enable her to change and that be part of why his own regeneration is delayed or whatever.

That would've been a better explanation for me (even though it's kind of nonsense) because him simply refusing to change doesn't really do anything (and harkens back to Tennant) but think oh they're dragging it out because they have one more episode to go.

I don't think it was reversed. Bill Cyberman died and now she's on another plane of existence like Heather.

Although with the small print that Heather can make Bill human again if she so wishes.

So, basically a Clara exit again. She's dead, but she can go off travelling with Ashildr for however long and delay her death.

So, even in the end, Moffat didn't actually have any kind of reason or much use for Matt Lucas.

Kind of makes you question the point of him wanting him in the show so bad when he wasn't going to do or offer much.

This series was quite boring on the whole but I liked the end

I'm sad to see Bill go, though

I wish they'd have kept to the format of the early episodes, Billy studying under the Doctor at university. It was classic DW but also felt fresh.

The kind of drift in the second half is kind of a Moffat problem.
