And finally we have series 8 spoilers, spoilers spoilers. Nothing really major, just writers, episode names, that kind of thing.
Doctor Who Magazine, out today, has confirmed that Gareth Roberts will be writing the 6th episode of Series 8. Roberts isn’t one of the more prolific writers for Who, having only penned four episodes in the past 6 years, including The Lodger and Closing Time during Matt Smith’s tenure. Guest cast for episode six includes Nigel Betts and Edward Harrison.
Spoilers abound from here on out, so this is your last chance to stay unaware.
We’ve already reported that Mark Gatiss is to write two episodes for Doctor Who and here’s some info on one of them. The third episode of the series, it’s rumoured to be called Robots of Sherwood and feature Tom Riley and Ian Hallard. Hallard’s character is apparently Alan-a-dale, one of the Merry Men.
Riley had this to say on twitter:
Well that’s out then. I’ve been a massive fan since I was even smaller than Jenna. Very excited. @Markgatiss‘s script is awesome. #DoctorWho
