    GIGANTIC Doctor Who news coming very very soon.
    Did they find tons of Missing Episodes? Announcing an Eighth Doctor miniseries? (PLEASE BBC!) What could it be?!?

    New companion? But i'm getting more of a fan-gasamy vibe, so i'd guess it's missing episodes.

    A spin off about Coal Hill School. THAT IS A HORRIBLE IDEA. Congrats BBC, you've disappointed everyone!

    Oh jeez, is that a joke? Coal Hill was the most annoying part about last season.

    Agreed, Bad Idea. :(

    Of all the things the BBC could do, they make a Doctor Who spin off about a school. A SCHOOL.

    I may be wrong but I think I saw that it's to be written by Patrick Ness. That's interesting - he was responsible for the Chaos Walking trilogy of books, which were simply fantastic.

    Great episode. I can't believe no one's mentioned the Shirley Bassey reference yet. I laughed so hard at that one! B-)

    I'm afraid I didn't quite get it. Could you please repeat it ? (sometimes, it helps having subtitles. Which I unfortunately can't have on Filmon).

    And is it me or : The Doctor looked a bit like Gibbs, especially when he was talking to the corporate guy ? and didn't Clara strike you as somewhat addicted to danger ? I fear for her, really.

    Here's the line:
    When the Doctor is getting all excited and going giddy over the ghosts, he says something like, "calm down. You were like this when you met Shirley Bassey."
    I always have to watch Doctor Who with subtitles. I'm American and kind of hard of hearing, so when people with accents talk fast I miss way too much. XD

    And yeah, I worry for Clara too....

    Well, I can understand that. I would be just like him. She's a legend, after all.

    Under The Lake was a vast improvement over The Magician's Apprentice / The Witches Familliar. Due to the base under siege setting, this one gave of a Troughton-esque feel. As with last years Flatline, Under The Lake was horror for all the family, and we still have the 2nd part to go.

    I've seen no one mention it, but did anyone else like the Doctors little cue cards?

    Yes, especially the one about Aberdeen. Nice call back.

    Great episode and cliffhanger! Love the humour, the Bassey line and when he was reading from the card Clara gave him! :))

    Got mine on pre-order. Shame it's not Fury From The Deep, but any Troughton story is worth having!

    Watched the latest episode last night - excellent stuff. Creepy and a great cliffhanger and loved the lines about Shirley Bassey and The Doctor's little cue cards. Can't wait for the second part on Saturday.

    A shout-out that I didn't see (I learned about it thans to doctorwhotv.co.uk). Look at the sailors on the painting behind the Doctor :

    under-the-lake-capaldi-sea-monster-mural.jpg

    And then look at the number on this picture :

    under-the-lake-1701.jpg

    Nice tribute, don't you think ?

    Radio Times gave away a spoiler, then backtracked:
    Tonight's ep has a different theme arrangement, but it wasn't made clear if it's a one-of or if it will be used for the remainder of the series.

    Also, Enemy Of The World and The Web Of Fear are getting audio commentaries:
    http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2015/10/troughton-commentaries-091015230008.html

    They'll be issued in CD and downloadable formats, to be played alongside the episodes.
