Rumoured title for 7B finale is ‘The Doctor’s Name’ but I’ve also heard ‘The Grave of River Song’ (or was it Funeral of?)

Official report from Strax

Official location report.
8 April 2013 at 20:37 #4717This episode was promised within some article a while ago. I think it was an interview with the Moff & he spoke about something along the lines of ‘Dr Who the Musical’ coming soon. Like many ‘spoilers’, I forgot all about having read it – even after having watched the show. But it just popped back in my head.
8 April 2013 at 19:23 #4711In Frontier in Space the Dr is locked up for 5 and a half episodes…
8 April 2013 at 12:02 #4631Perhaps Clara’s (Mum’s) ring is a bio-dampener (as seen in the Runaway Bride & in SJA the Empty Planet).
Maybe Clara’s biological Dad is a Tharil! (Don’t quote me!)
Also – has anyone noticed the giant chicken feet in next week’s ad? Presumably they’re what’s inside the armour of the Ice Warrior (3 digits per hand).
8 April 2013 at 00:01 #4567As predicted, people are running away from the Nesting Consciousness.
Great sleuthing this weekend y’all.
Next week, Skaldak thaws…
7 April 2013 at 19:23 #4499Okay – I’ll try a negative outlook:
I can sort of see the gist of why the concensus didn’t like this one. The Smilie Sun has maybe pushed things too far from scary to silly. I don’t understand peoples problems with the plot (other than space physics & ‘Which is the planet & which is the Sun?’). I think part of the problem is initial expectations – we see loads of aliens and expect them to feature a lot but there’s only time for the barker. ‘Possibilities that will never be’.
Including homages to old favourites such as Indiana Jones & Blade Runner can encourage some to form the idea that ‘this is a poor copy. People don’t see amazing special effects – they see Underworld 2.
I’m all for honest opinion- to get it ‘over there’ I’d need the Troll-goggles from Hellboy 2…
7 April 2013 at 17:45 #4475Clara is impossible because she reincarnates. But so does the Dr (well he regenerates).
Are we heading back to the half-broken chameleon-arch plot?
Is it an Egyptian thing (there seems to be some dispute about Egyptian belief in reincarnation as we know it)?
The Voice just used the 2 Steps From Hell track from the series trail on their new ad! Big Brother will be using it next (followed by a revived Merlin).
7 April 2013 at 16:28 #4455We are hidden from Trolls, locked in a Universe 1 hour ago…
I set my alarm but forgot to put the clock forward. Therefor I missed this today – the reunion:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rqgz3
but as you can see I’ve got a year to catch up on it!
7 April 2013 at 15:46 #4439Gruniad vibe= Dr Who is worse than Hitler, Ghengis Khan & Jedward combined.
Lots of pee-ple seem to be narked that the Dr keeps giving us this ‘I have terrible deadly secrets’ speech. Only this is the 1st time he’s said it. Kovarian & Dorium have suggested such to the Dr before. It’s obviously there to inform new series watchers that the Dr’s (name is) potentially Apocalyptic. As fans know we have been promised that the Dr’s identity will be revealed this year(though somehow without saying it at all probably).
7 April 2013 at 00:15 #4369Dear BBC, I just cannot take to Shane Ritchie as the host of Jim’ll Fix It. Much as we may look back with some concern to the era of the previous incumbent, it was undeniably event television. Nobody can deny the profile of the original host. Even a poor innocent man was mistaken for him in the Inferno Club in the 1960s.
Shane Ritchie is a fine presenter, but let’s just face it – it’s not the show it once was. The new production team have alienated the lowest common denominator and that is the most offensive thing of all.
I suppose I’ll have to rely on the family friendly Jim Davidson for a Saturday Tea-Time we can all enjoy.
yours,
Joyfully disgruntled
6 April 2013 at 23:38 #4365‘We can go anywhere…’
‘Within reason…well I say within reason’
Clara wants to be a footballer – Matt was a footballer.
6 April 2013 at 23:04 #4357The guy hit a bum note. The girl still blamed herself. Then the guy just teleported outta there.
Merry Galel is obviously an anagram of ‘Really germ’.
6 April 2013 at 22:45 #4349Refulgent – Radiating/Shining brightly. Also the Sun Singers.
In Akhaten, if you lose your memories you’re basically bankrupt.
6 April 2013 at 22:29 #4337‘Oh my stars’ was said twice by Ellie.
Bryan Robson is clearly an anagram of ‘R Ron baby son’.
(Lost in the) Jungle, desert, Moon. The Oswalds are clearly linked to Tintin.
Clara was never afraid of being lost again.
6 April 2013 at 21:40 #4327Yes – the Hive-Mind in action!
Some questions:
Was that her brother at the graveside?
Does anyone trust Clara? Not since Turlough have we so doubted whether or not to allow ourselves to accept (let alone like) a companion (Adam was never trusted or indeed liked)…
Footie Clara was very scary. Clara seems to know too much in general.
6 April 2013 at 21:19 #4319Cabbages & Kings is a quote from ‘Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there’.
“The time has come,” the Walrus said,”To talk of many things:Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–Of cabbages–and kings–And why the sea is boiling hot–And whether pigs have wings.”
6 April 2013 at 21:08 #4317Ellie Ravenwood is clearly an anagram of ‘O reveal down line’ or ‘Now live dear Leo’, whilst Ellie Oswald is obviously an anagram of ‘Sold a wellie’.
6 April 2013 at 20:36 #43076 April 2013 at 20:24 #4305Ellie Ravenwood is quite clearly an anagram of ‘Ooe wail Dr Eleven’
Ellie Oswald is quite clearly an anagram of ‘Soiled weals’
6 April 2013 at 20:02 #4299The 101 places book seems like it might be a metaphor for the stewardship of the show – it’s days of possibilities.
Ellie Ravenwood seems to have taken possession in 1971 – any potential significance?
6 April 2013 at 18:54 #4291Sorry I’m late. I was busy enjoying the ‘Ghost of Confidential’ & the Cold War advert on the Official Site.
So now we know why Clara doesn’t walk away from bereaved children.
The Dr was ready to defend himself with Venusian Karate on meeting an even younger Clara!
There is a creature that looks like an ancestor of the Ood & the Hath.
So far a lot of soul-devouring this series…
Oh – & that’s quite clearly a stunt-leaf!
6 April 2013 at 16:44 #4273So the ‘finale villain’s are a sort of Snowmen version 3 (2 being the Yeti)?
I’m not sure what the GI plan actually is – other than to get a template for a humanoid & proceed to escape & possess/become everything including humans and technology – oh & possibly still devour the Dr’s mind. If humanity is Burger King then the Dr must be a delicacy!
I predict the Dr’s name is Zodin (the Terrible)! I also forsee the ‘Cyber-Family’ in Gaiman’s ep. (We know we’re getting a Cyber-Something).
6 April 2013 at 14:17 #4251Just read this for the 1st time since 1979.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/72561982/Doctor-Who-The-Stolen-TARDIS
I think the Dr’s name is Plutar – but why did it have to be hidden?
And what’s his surname?!? Any middle names?
Plutar The-Other Smith?
Rolls off the tongue nicely. I’m not betting any £££ though.

The Silver Cloak strike again!
5 April 2013 at 00:17 #42033 April 2013 at 23:42 #41313 April 2013 at 21:53 #41273 April 2013 at 21:03 #4125Not hysterical puns & general terror? Actually I quite like the C/GI theory!
Why was there a 9th Dr who looked like Dr Simeon? Was that spatial multiplicity? Does the Shalka Dr become possessed by the GI? Did he break through from a parallel dimension? If Clara means light then will she also represent truth? Will the Dr start wearing a Jammie Dodger on his lapel for it’s ‘restorative powers’?
Did the Demon that is the GI get planning permission for ‘The Great Plan’? Who from?
I incite you all to ‘Carry on Theorising’!
2 April 2013 at 23:41 #4099My guess is Matt Smith will stay on 1 more year along with the Moff. Then the Dr will regenerate. Let’s watch this year & see if there’s a hint of who could take over as Producer in 2015…
The Dr will give up his TARDIS for a new one however – in the shape of a Nando’s. Very hip just now.
2 April 2013 at 23:14 #4097Eh? Am I getting the credit/blame for inventing CGI? Next it’ll be something to do with 3 deaths = 3-D…
I’d love to see the Shalka Dr in the flesh (along with with his possessed other self)…
esp. if Ecclestone doesn’t want to give us a new performance.
2 April 2013 at 20:45 #4075Just thought – Come Clara’s 40th birthday, she’ll be reborn as a cartoon Richard E Grant…
2 April 2013 at 20:42 #4073Richard E Grant and Matt smith in a monkey suit singing Dem Bones to the Shalka theme tune…
I’ll get me passport…
2 April 2013 at 19:03 #40452 April 2013 at 18:40 #4039@juniperfish – Yes I can see a sequel for In the Flesh, as long as it’s as good as the 1st story. Obvious potential with the cult plot still… Also will we see a ‘sufferers’ wedding’?
2 April 2013 at 18:27 #4033Do you think that when the GI’s boss is revealed to be the Dark Doctor that there will be a similar outcry to the one when No. 1 was revealed in the (original) Prisoner? Will Moffat have to flee the country?
2 April 2013 at 18:07 #4027I also recommend In the Flesh. I wasn’t disappointed. Clever stuff.
1 April 2013 at 16:04 #3961So ‘The Lord of Winter’ is a painting of a seascape in the book. And it is a puzzle. The Lord of Winter is very probably a reference to the GI. Amy probably wrote the book sometime after River experiences the end of this season & if River is still alive by then she probably tells Amy the story.
But my question is – Is the book you can buy soon the same as the book in the show? Because the Melody Malone book wasn’t apparently.
It’s only coming out as an ebook just now (annoying) but these have been ending up on audio too.
I for one would like it to be the actual book that’s in the show, as it’s obviously a puzzle too…
1 April 2013 at 15:31 #395731 March 2013 at 20:40 #3915Typical Gruniad post:
Dear BBC. I watched The Voice last night & I must say I was disappointed.
The plot was so threadbare you could drape it over a lit light bulb & not burn your house down. Admittedly the last series was the best TV I have ever seen but this last episode must’ve been conceived by a Headless Monk. Tom Jones has suddenly taken to boasting about his previous collaborations and the judges have become ego-maniacs overnight. Jessie J wasn’t bald and we weren’t supposed to notice?
I have loved every tv talent show ever aired up until now but this particular show was the diametric opposite of what makes a good talent programme – the ‘Anti-Voice’ if you will… I personally hope that everyone involved right down to the scene-shifters and tea-ladies all die slowly of some hideous agonising disease for unleashing this detritus upon an unsuspecting public.
Therefore I shall not be watching it again (until next week).
31 March 2013 at 20:04 #3911Enjoy Miranda Hart on Hyperdrive for the time being…
Davros was against the Bedroom tax, calling it ‘Heartless…’, unfortunately he was overruled by the Dalek Supreme who confirmed ‘It’s the right thing to do.’
31 March 2013 at 19:55 #3907@haveyoufedthefish – Thanks. Now whenever I watch Clara fall to her death I will also remember Eric Roberts being sucked into the vortex (along with the notion of the Dr’s human mother).
@scaryb – Alleluia!
31 March 2013 at 19:20 #3899Dear BBC, The Bells of St John has clearly confirmed Dr Who to be blasphemous. Clara = the divine figure, a sort of holy trinity who is reborn at Easter.
Also – a thought – when Jesus visited his disciples after his death he appeared in the form of a different man yet they knew it to be him – remind you of anyone? (Time Lords)
Next you’ll be telling me that the GI is in fact The Papal Mainframe!
Dr Who has had an Atheist agenda since it’s return. So Clara’s similarities to Christendom are obviously a further mockery. And by the way, monks ARE cool!
Anyway, for these reasons I opt out from viewing Dr Who in any of it’s formats again.
31 March 2013 at 18:21 #3887Dear BBC, in the new trailer the Dr & Clara are seen riding a vehicle in space with no spacesuits or protection. I know you’ll probably say it’s a gravity bubble or something but it’s impossible & as we all know Dr Who is about science fact. Therefor I shan’t be tuning in again.
31 March 2013 at 18:13 #3877Dear BBC, in the new trailer for next week’s episode, when the Dr flips backwards – if you freeze on one particular frame you can tell that it’s really the stunt double. Therefor I have decided to never watch Dr Who ever again. x
31 March 2013 at 17:15 #386731 March 2013 at 16:56 #3861Oh that’s a leaf in the poster. I was wondering why she was holding up a naan bread!
31 March 2013 at 16:14 #3855Okay I’ve calmed down now! Sorry to hear about your reverse Carol Vordeman @phaseshift. I hope you’ve got servitors tending your every need. Back pain can be nasty.
I thought The Bells of Saint John was a very good ep. Everyone’s forgetting who the Dr is, including himself but the GI knows him (& he doesn’t know the GI any more). The enemy is located using social networking. Then super-intelligent Clara is fully integrated with the GIs datacloud foodsource. Is this why the GI & Clara are so linked (e.g. why she could defeat the snow)?
