The BBC has filled in some of the blanks regarding the shape of Doctor Who series 6’s remaining episodes. Details here…
Starting on Saturday 27th August, there are six more episodes to go as part of Doctor Who series 6, and the BBC has revealed some more details of them. Here’s what we’ve got to look forward to…
6.8: Let’s Kill Hitler by Steven Moffat
An episode that promises to pick up from the end of A Good Man Goes To War, this one features Albert Welling as Hitler, and is directed by Richard Senior. The synopsis? Glad you asked…
”In the desperate search for Melody Pond, the TARDIS crash lands in 1930s Berlin, bringing the Doctor face to face with the greatest war criminal in the Universe. And Hitler. The Doctor must teach his adversaries that time travel has responsibilities - and in so doing, learns a harsh lesson in the cruellest warfare of all.”
6.9: Night Terrors by Mark Gatiss
We know the title for Gatiss’ latest Doctor Who story (following The Unquiet Dead,The Idiot’s Lantern and Victory Of The Daleks). It’s called Night Terrors (although this had been revealed a little earlier), is set in the modern day, and “features a little boy who has a fear of something.” Gatiss says that this “features some of the scariest moments he’s ever dreamt up.”
6.10: The Girl Who Waited by Tom MacRae
This is an episode title we didn’t know. Tom MacRae, who wrote The Rise Of The Cybermen/The Age Of Steel, writes for Matt Smith for the first time. The BBC hasn’t revealed any fresh plot details of the story, but it has confirmed that Nick Hurran is directing.
6.11: The God Complex by Toby Whithouse
Being Human genius Toby Whithouse has attracted David Walliams to his episode. Walliams is set to play an alien by the name of Gibbis, and the story itself (which is one of the creepiest looking of the series) is set in a hotel. Nick Hurran is directing this one, too.
6.12: Untitled by Gareth Roberts
This one is still without a name, but it does bring back James Corden as Craig Owens. We last saw the character in last year’s The Lodger. We caught a glimpse of this episode in the trailer that the BBC released the other day, complete with Corden and Matt Smith getting a little up close and personal.
6.13: Untitled by Steven Moffat
There’s no shortage of threads already to tie together this series, and Karen Gillan has teased that this final episode of series 6 will feature “possibly the biggest twist so far”. We’re intrigued to see just what that is…
