Ep 5 leaked (but not episode 4)

Damn, this really is nearly as bad as Korra.

 

[Tizoc]

Curious but when you guys say 'leak' do you mean the actual episode or its script?

Either way
2 DAYS TO GO

 

[DECK'ARD]

Damn, this really is nearly as bad as Korra.

I think the first 6 episodes were said to have been on the server, so the second half of the series should be safe but yeah it's a shame.

Scripts and work print copies of the episodes were on a server for translation work.

 

[HigXx]

Time Heist was cool

 

[paradox121]

This is getting ridiculous.

Maybe the quality of four is particularly bad?

They still have episode six to leak as well.

Episode four supposedly has no CG right so maybe that has something to do with it. Or Moffat just cast voodoo to protect his own stuff from leaking.

Either way I'm glad. It's the one episode I'm most looking forward to and as good as people have been about not spoiling things it would suck to know it was out in the wild.

 

[Hot Coldman]

did someone leak the episode with Dark Pit and the Duck Hunt Dog yet

 

[Broken Joystick]

 

[Volotaire]

Are these BBC videos? Besides, I'm so excited.

Ah, he finally fixed the psychic paper I see.

It bothers me that only the top part on the time rotor goes up and down :/

 

[APZonerunner]

It bothers me that only the top part on the time rotor goes up and down :/

I feel like the rotor hasn't really been 'right' since 2010, really. I really disliked the weird blown glass thing that looked suspiciously like a novelty sex toy at the very top in the 2010 TARDIS, and then it's too static on this one. I need more up and downy bits in the TARDIS!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I liked the old rotor that used to wobble as it went up and down like it was attached to a bicycle chain operated by a hamster wheel

Gave the old girl the necessary wabi sabi

Steven Moffat has said that there will be more deaths in the upcoming series and that there are “dark times ahead.”

Speaking in the new issue of DWM he says: “It’s a bizarre thing that I always find myself accused of killing off characters, and I think, ‘What on Earth are you talking about? I don’t kill nearly enough people in my fiction!’

He adds: “I’m aware that I have a sentimental tendency to whack people back on their feet again – you can have several deaths in one lifetime, apparently – and I’m aware that that’s a weakness, so I thought in our new, scary universe we’d make sure we off some people, and that would make it more exciting and more visceral. The word I keep using is ‘visceral’.

“For our new Doctor, there are dark times ahead.”

back alive before the end of the episode probably.

Sort of related: in Rio someone from the audience asked them to use one word/sentence to tease the new season. Capaldi said "trust no one", Jenna said "tiny", and Moffat said "death".

 

[Blader]

If nothing else, it's nice that he's at least aware of his tendency to kill people then bring them back ASAP. So it lends a little more weight to his claim of killing characters this time, as opposed to every other time where's he promised someone will definitely die for real, and then they do but it's not actually for real.

Watched this some minutes ago and I love how he talks normally to the kids and answers every question seriously no matter their ages.

That's great, haha. Just checked and it's also on the Steam version.

 

[kaching]

I was deeply offended by what happened to Harriet Jones. She was 100% justified in her actions. I found that whole ending seriously sexist.

Isn't that the whole point though? It's so bluntly sexist that it seemed like a fairly straightforward object lesson in what would continue to happen to humanity if they chose not to act honorably and rise above the baser, dog-eat-dog instincts still prevalent in our society.

 

[Kuraudo]

I love how getting rid of Harriet Jones makes the Doctor responsible for the Master becoming PM. And that other prick in Children of Earth.

That says more about the pony makers that it does Doctor Who TBH. Theres references to Big Lebowski and such from what I understand

don't even get me started on references as a substitute for cleverness

What's with the Gallifreyan symbols that pop up during these videos? I noticed one at the end of the previous one, when everyone was leaving the stage, and there's one in this one
at 4:24.

Edit: And another one at 10:30.

You seem to misunderstand both who came up with Doctor Hooves (it was the fans) and how much in the foreground the references in MLP are (they're way in the background). Arguments against references as replacements for cleverness don't really apply here.

Just being obnoxious and picking on some fellow WhoGAFfers, nothing more

This much I'd agree with in principle, and yet will not pretend that I haven't often enjoyed pointless "fanwank"

Moffat on River Song returning. Not sure where this is from but I saw it on tumblr:

“As to River Song, don’t know. I mean it feels to me that story is slightly done and it’s time to move on from it. I was very pleased with how it worked, but we’ve seen most of the stuff we ought to see with the Doctor and River. There’s other stuff we never saw with the Doctor and River and I don’t want to see that. Just leave that somewhere else. No idea what they got up to together but I’m sure it was lovely. So let’s close the door on that.”

I'm glad if he's not lying.

Moffat on River Song returning. Not sure where this is from but I saw it on tumblr:

I mean.. I'm not exactly sure how he could get around it tbh. The actress will only get older and by showing us first moments as Alex Kingston as well as her presumably last moments alive in addition to the fact that their relationship grows in opposites (she's oldest when he's youngest and vice versa) I don't know how they could work around that feasibly. It's essentially closed off the loop and showing any of the unseen interactions/adventures will become less believable visually as Kingston ages.

Hot off the presses... Moffat's guide to this season for the Radio Times!

Deep Breath
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Ben Wheatley
"Who frowned me this face?"
In late-1890s London, swashbuckling detectives Vastra, Jenny and Strax are summoned to the banks of the Thames for a big surprise, and then an even bigger one. A new Doctor is in town, with mayhem in his wake. As Clara struggles to recognise the man she thought she knew so well, killers stalk the capital. A slaughterhouse restaurant and a buried spaceship lead the Doctor into a confrontation with a long-forgotten foe... but how far is this new man ready to go to protect his friends?

Into the Dalek
Written by Phil Ford and Steven Moffat
Directed by Ben Wheatley
Introducing Samuel Anderson as Danny Pink
"Imagine the worst thing in the universe, and then don't bother because you're looking at it right now. This is evil refined as engineering."
What's the most dangerous place in the universe? Where is the last place the Doctor should ever stand? He's faced with his deadliest mission yet- a journey into the heart of darkness, one even he is scared to make. In the dying days of a bitter war, a beleaguered human army has one last hope: a Dalek so damaged it has become good. But can it be trusted? To find out, a miniaturised team, led by the Doctor and Clara, embark on a fantastic voyage into the Dalek itself...

Robot of Sherwood
Written by Mark Gatiss
Directed by Paul Murphy
Guest starring Tom Riley (Robin), Ben Miller (Sheriff)
"There's no such thing as Robin Hood!"
They meet at last! The island's greatest hero and defender of the innocent comes face to face with Robin Hood! The only trouble is, according to the Doctor, Robin Hood can't be real. In a sun-dappled Sherwood Forest, the Doctor discovers an evil plan from beyond the stars. But with all of Nottingham at stake (and possibly Derby), there's no time for the adventurers to get into a fight about who is real and who isn't- which is probably why they do very little else!

Listen
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Douglas Mackinnon
"What's that in the mirror, and the corner of your eye? What's the footstep following, but never passing by?"
What happens when the Doctor's alone- pacing the TARDIS by candlelight, poking the shadows with a stick, listening for a footfall among all those endless, empty rooms. What scares the grand old man of space and time? What horrors lurk under his bed? Ghosts of the past and future crowd into the lives of the Doctor and Clara: a terrified caretaker in a children's home, the last man standing in the universe, and a little boy who doesn't want to join the army...

Time Heist
Written by Stephen Thompson and Steven Moffat
Directed by Douglas Mackinnon
Guest starring Keeley Hawes
"Welcome to the bank of Karabraxos."
The Bank of Karabraxos is the deadliest bank in the cosmos- only a fool or a genius would attempt to rob it. Fortunately for the Doctor, he's both. With the help of a beautiful shape-shifter and a cyber-augmented gamer, the Doctor and Clara fight their way past the most dangerous security system ever devised. But nothing even the Doctor has encountered can prepare them for the Teller: a creature of terrifying power that can detect guilt...

The Caretaker
Written by Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat
Directed by Paul Murphy
"Human beings have incredibly short life spans. Frankly, you should all be in a permanent state of panic. Tick tock, tick tock!"
Clara has it all under control: her life at school, her life in space: her new boyfriend and her mad old Time Lord. Everything is humming along just fine, so long as everybody never actually meets. And then, one morning, just before assembly, Coal Hill welcomes a new relief caretaker with a Scottish accent. With Clara's world about to explode around her, terrifying events near the school make it clear that the rest of the world is about to do the same. The Skovox Blister is ready to destroy humanity- and worse, any second now, Danny Pink and the Doctor are going to meet...

Kill The Moon
Written by Peter Harness
Directed by Paul Wilmshurst
Guest starring Hermione Norris and Tony Osoba
"This little planetoid that's been tagging along beside you for a hundred million years, which gives you light at night and seas to sail, is in the process of falling to bits."
In the near future, the Doctor and Clara arrive on a decrepit shuttle making a suicide mission to the Moon. Crashing on the lunar surface, they find a mining base full of eviscerated corpses, spider-like creatures scuttling in the dark, and a terrible dilemma. When Clara turns to the Doctor for help, she gets the shock of her life. Is the man she's trusted for so long really a hero after all? Is he even her friend?

Mummy on the Orient Express
Written by Jamie Mathieson
Directed by Paul Wilmshurst
Guest starring Frank Skinner, David Bamber, Foxes
"Start the clock!"
Aboard the most beautiful train in history, speeding among the stars of the future, a legend is stalking the passengers. Once you see the Mummy, you have 66 seconds to live. No exceptions, no reprieve. As the Doctor races against the clock to defeat this mythical foe, Clara sees him at his deadliest and most ruthless- and finally realises that he's made the right decision. Because this is their last adventure- it's time to say goodbye to the Time Lord...

Flatline
Written by Jamie Mathieson
Directed by Douglas Mackinnon
"Look, your house isn't going anywhere. And neither is mine until I figure this out."
Separated from the Doctor, Clara discovers a new menace from another dimension. But how do you hide when the walls are no protection? With people to save and no madman in a box to help, Clara goes against an enemy that exists beyond normal human perception...

In the Forest of the Night
Written by Frank Cottrell Boyce
Directed by Sheree Folkson
"Do you like the forest being in Trafalgar Square? I think it's lovely."
One morning in London, and every city and town in the world, the human race wakes up to its most surprising invasion yet: the trees have moved back in. Everywhere, in every land, a forest has grown overnight and taken back the Earth- an impossible stranglehold of vegetation. The Doctor soon realises that the final days of humanity have arrived...

Dark Water/ Death in Heaven
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Rachael Talalay
Guest starring Michelle Gomez, Chris Addison, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Jemma Redgrave, Ingrid Oliver
"You betrayed me. You betrayed my trust, our friendship, and everything I've ever stood for. You let me down."
In the mysterious world of the Nethersphere, plans have been drawn. Old friends and old enemies manoeuvre around the Doctor, and an impossible choice is looming before him. Death is not an end, promises the sinister organisation known only as 3W- but, as the Doctor and Clara discover, you might wish it was...

Oh man, this sounds damned good.

Haha, Capaldi's on The One Show right now and Alex Jones slipped up and said it's been announced that Jenna's leaving like it was a fact, then she quickly said it was a rumour, Peter looked really confused.

Time Heist is really very good.

I have a theory about something major that may or may not happen. I won't bring it up here (because spoilers) but it is beginning to make a lot of sense.

Involves Danny.
