Here’s what we know so far…
This article contains spoilers for Doctor Who series 8. its that series 9 of the revived show will somewhere along the line feature Gallifrey.
Its been teased very heavily again, even if its location is still a mystery.
Wales only has so many quarries, after all.
But at the very least, wed now expect Gallifrey to become a recurring theme throughout series 9.
It may be the search for it, it may be that the Doctor finds it.
It may be were barking up the wrong tree.
But any storyline involving Gallifrey in turn opens up the potential for more Time Lords.
However, wed love to see Michelle Gomez come back.
Her take on The Master crept under our skin more effectively than anyones since Roger Delgado.
She might not have been telling, but that doesnt mean she doesntknowwhere it is.
Having a presence from The Master/The Mistress/Missy in series 9 can be intensify the search.
Omega, Rassillon, The Meddling Monk, yep, even The Rani?
Furthermore, go back toListenand the scene in the barn.
Might thatDoctor Whoorigins story be getting ever closer?
We doubt it, but you never know.
The four wives, his children and his grandchildren.
Plus Jenny fromThe Doctors Daughter?
Whether Gallifrey factors in or not, might he go tracing his family tree?
Or, more possibly, might his family tree start to tracehim?
That could be a series arc in itself.
Talking of family too, mightDoctor Whoseries 9 pick up on the family line of Danny Pink and Clara?
We know theres a descendant there, but is that still the case?
Then theres the question of whos going to be travelling with the Doctor.
It looks likely, then, that a new companion will board the TARDIS.
This time, it may not be one of Earth origin too.
Heck, could the Doctor get another Time Lord sidekick?
Idle speculation on our part, certainly, but you never know.
The odds are on whoever a new companion is being relatively young and female.
But then we thought Twelve would be young and male.Look where that got us.
Plus, hes been chatting about his plans.
Its going to be another full run, without splits.
Lets assume that itll end with a two-parter again, then.
Were good at piecing together mysteries like that.
Oh, and Peter Capaldi is definitely signed up to play the Doctor again.
Hes the only member of the cast to be 100% confirmed so far.
Plus, yknow,Doctor Whohas 45 minutes per episode.
Theres no shortage of people who want Jamie Mathieson to have another go to, ourselves included.
With production not starting for a little while yet,Doctor Whoseries 9 is still mainly under wraps.
But well keep this post updated as we discover more…
