‘I’ll put your name in the air.’
In Celtic belief, birds are the messengers of the Otherworld. They can represent prophetic knowledge or bloodshed. The behaviour & flight pattern of birds could be used to predict the future…
@nick The Vikings & others had similar dragony designs because they’re all from the same ‘Celtic’ era. The Pictish beast is unique to Scotland though. Other symbols similar to the (class 1) Pictish stones could once be found elsewhere, like in the Greek islands; and the menhirs in the Marne valley, France)…
I forgot to say:
The Rose Quartz Geode gizmos are reminiscent of the mirror symbol which usually accompanies a comb symbol on many Pictish stones….
Who’s the 3rd Time Lord? (I suppose they’re counting The Master & Missy as 2?! – Or are they? It says 3 TLs, 2 Ms [as though 3 +2 =5]…)
Where to begin?
The Devil’s Cairn is like Tara in Ireland…
Music inside a hill: There are many Scottish legends about a ‘Phantom Piper’ (where Jamie got the notion in ‘The Moonbase)…
The Doctor has lived, farmed, juggled & been a 2nd class vestal virgin in Roman Britain.
Bill looks for a Roman but gets a Pict! (Or Proto-Pict as Rona Munro has called them in an article)…
Bill falls for a 2nd week in a row…
Sounds like the crow says ‘Dork Doctor’. Perhaps it’s sulking massively?
Stone cairns as the door between worlds (or betwixt this life & the next in ‘reality’)…
Sunlight deficiency = ‘Death by Scotland’… (The country of ‘Scotland’ won’t exist for another 600 years)
Such Pictish stone fish carvings are real, such as this one at Kintore, Aberdeenshire.
(Big) Bad Wolf (of a monster)…
The Dr goes all Scottish on a (Proto) Pict!
The Picts also had slaves, at least by the time of Christianity…
Crow now sounds like it’s saying ‘Rockstar’ (I know – It’s ‘monster’)
Big knife threat no. 1
Lots of beasts swimming like the old BBC hippo ident…
Temporal rift is like Fairyland (In folk tales, if people spent too long away there, they would crumble to dust on return)…
‘We’re all in this together’ was the catchphrase of former PM, David Cameron…
The corpses are a bit like Bog People (Good-O!)…
5000 soldiers to kill a bunch of farmers (sounds fair)…
Venting a what gush?
Face your beast… (Very dragony it is too, not much like the Pictish beast seen on stones all over Scotland)
Big knife threat no.2
Turns out they’re light-eating locusts…
‘Name a cow after me…’
Brave
‘I know 10% of your dark secrets…’
Music transcends time (or can it just be heard from inside the TARDIS?)
Missy is in the TARDIS (A la Shalka)
Friends again?! (Hope’s hard to resist)
Ha! It seems that the length was the reveal (plus the nice poster)
Bang goes the Missy vs the Master theory (Or does it?)…….
Or perhaps they were killed in the War Games…
Reckon the 9th were done for because of Skarosian radiation…….
Now hearing a rumour that the midnight thing is the release of a poster for the finale…
Bonkers theory: The new Doctor will be played by a web bot. The new Master will be played by General Zod……..
Kneel…!Sadly the Doctor Who Experience will close on The 9th of September.
Meanwhile, on tonight’s BBC Question Time, Theresa May was described as ‘a Wibbly-Wobbly leader’.
Tory Tobias Ellwood replied ‘…I don’t recognise that terminology’ Heresy!!!
15 pairs of tickets to the Doctor Who Finale Countdown Concert in Cardiff
Still wondering what the link is between Michael Caine & Missy (see the link in post 57641)…….
Perhaps it’s ‘The Self Preservation Society’?
This is not quite all that it seems and is rather interesting. Posted it here as it contains mild spoilers…
mark gatiss admits protesting against black actors casting Victorian
Mark Gatiss wanted Winston Churchill to return in this story but couldn’t fit him into it because of the Victorian setting…
Had to post this here as it contains spoilers (mentions of Cybermen & Master)…….
gatiss wanted churchill return (for Empress of Mars)
Martian lives matter…….
It’s a wonder that the people of Earth didn’t turn Friday into shoes & handbags when he crashed. The power of the promise of riches untold!
The spacesuits this episode are like a combo of the spacesuits from The Wheel in Space (adapted from those seen in The Tenth Planet) and the uniforms from Enemy of the World…
@scaryb @jimthefish Gatiss wanted Peladon but I can’t say why he didn’t get it…..
My bonkers theory is that the Doctor is pregnant with Missy’s baby…
@scaryb I posted 2 Theresa May & the Monks pix on twitter a while ago. Deleted one & replaced with a Chuckle Brothers one….. Plus a host of others, with various politicians (inc. Trump of course) & celebs including this one…….
First thoughts:
Starts off very much like ‘The First Men in the Moon’…
Man Friday is from ‘Robinson Crusoe’…
Bill’s ‘eye gaff’ – Awkward!

I’ve never heard the phrase ‘A share of the rhino’ before…
The human deaths by sonic disrupter were fun & nasty.
纸老虎／紙老虎…
‘Sleep no more’ (my warriors)…
The irony of ‘Sod this for a game of soldiers’…
An age of honour where a man’s pledge is actually worth something…
Funny to think that a being which looks like a big green Theresa May is now an asylum seeker…….
Readthrough for the Xmas Spesh took place yesterday…
Maybe it will simply be a double regeneration. We haven’t seen that before…..
Hoping that Missy has a TARDIS with a Zero Room…
How do I unburn all my Pearl Mackie memorabilia? (Only joking…)
Probably not a talking cabbage though, as Chibbers has said he doesn’t want to do a gimmicky casting…
Moffat has previously stated that Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is his default story. Perhaps the Xmas spesh will feature 3 ghosts and end with the Dr sending a little boy off to buy a giant turkey…..
@All
Zoe Ball must be being defrosted as we speak…..
The end of the Hay Festival vid tells us this regen is going to be something bonkers & never seen before.
Maybe the Doctor will regenerate into a talking cabbage?
Gatiss on BBC 1 in half an hour…
So Nardole is knitting a long multi-coloured scarf for the new Doctor, Michelle Gomez? I like it…
