Changed my mind. Both the official Twitter and Facebook are challenging us specifically -"thought the Master returning was big"?
So, seriously, something bigger than the Master? That's going to be WAAAAAY big,then. OK, this can only be one of three things:
1) an old Doctor. 2) the Absorbaloff, but this time he's the size of a bus like the kid originally planned. 3) a disappointment. (Actually, Ace is a plausible suggestion, but since Sophie Aldred's book seems to have been predicated on succeeding the Tom Baker-penned 'Scratchman' I shouldn't think she'd be in it all that much)

So the BBC (or America, at least) spilt one bean and there will, indeed, be a character return: That's a bit of a shame, cuts down a lot of the speculation if we know it's a specific return rather than just "something big" which leaves much more to the imagination. OK - final guesses in! Going for someone who I don't think has been mentioned yet at least not with this rumour....Captain Jack. We know Barrowman would kill for it, Chibnall effectively showran Torchwood for two years and it's been a decade (!) since he's been on screen, years longer than The Brig was off from Terror Of The Zygons to Madrywn Undead unbelievably. I'm getting good at this.

Simultaneously making the Other canon and the EDAs non canon, chibnall you madman (being sarcastic of course, canon doesn't matter but as a VNA fan well I'll keep my eye on the rest of this series and I had a great time despite some teething issues in the episode)

Info Overload Really liked the 1st twist Thought "You gotta be kidding on the 2nd one" Paradoxical when it dropped Jodie was the most Doctor she's ever been for me. EDIT And They did "Introducing" End Credit Regards mark687

Even with Captain Jack turning up that's another 6 out of 5! I will give fuller thoughts when I have calmed down!

Okay, I'll have to rewatch it but that was really, really good. Given I was not that enthusiastic about series 12 before it began, Chibnall is really impressing me here.
Too much to process, but that return made me scream and die of happiness.

I was on FB 1 minute and had the episode spoiled by two Radio Times headlines. So some stuff happened?

So, to anyone who questions if Chibbs does or doesn't listen to Big Finish... this is basically a 2003, Gary Russell-script-edited play from the earlier 8 series, wearing the skin of a modern TV episode. Like, I thought It Takes You Away was a naked throwback to the Wilderness years.
This is Wilderness Years nostalgia just letting it all hang out for the world to see. I have no idea, as of this specific writing, how to react. Mad good or mad bad? Was it sheer, out-there cosmic ballsyness with no need to apologise, or a lot of references and insider tongue baths?

I'm not quite sure how I picked two out of two, there haven't been any leaks from what I've seen. Maybe I'm actually a fob-watched future Chibnall.
