This is how bad rumors start.
I also think it's a great idea. I look forward to her appearance.
BBC Press Release for the start of shooting. Looks like the ban on (non series-ending) two-parters is over.
"Filming has begun in Cardiff for series 9 of Doctor Who and includes a star-studded guest cast. The new series will be back on BBC One in Autumn 2015.
The episodes currently being filmed are written by Toby Whithouse (School Reunion, The Vampires of Venice), produced by Derek Ritchie and directed by Daniel O’Hara (The Game, Being Human).
Steven Moffat, lead writer and Executive Producer, said: “An amazing guest cast for a brilliantly creepy two-parter by Toby Whithouse. Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman are back in Cardiff, back in the box, and back in action - for one of our scariest adventures yet!”
On set filming for the new series, Peter Capaldi added: “The adventures begin again for myself and Jenna and I’m delighted to be back filming my second series of Doctor Who.”
Paul Kaye who played Thoros of Myr in the third series of Game of Thrones joins the Doctor Who cast for the two-part episode. A comedian and actor, Paul is also well-known for being the voice of Vincent the fox on the puppet-based BBC comedy Mongrels.
Commenting on his role, Paul Kaye, said: “As a kid of the 1970’s, the two shows you always watched were Top of the Pops and Doctor Who, they were unmissable. I actually wrote a song called ‘Looking for Davros’ in my first punk band and I sang it like a demented Dalek. I got to present TOTP back in the mid ‘90s and landing this role in Doctor Who completes the dream double. Peter is a perfect Doctor and I’m loving every minute of the experience, even the five hours in make-up. What a treat, best 50th birthday present ever!”
Also starring in the episodes will be Morven Christie who recently played the role of Amanda in the crime drama Grantchester and also featured in Death in Paradise (2014) and Twenty Twelve.
Arsher Ali, who played the part of Malik Suri in the critically acclaimed The Missing (BBC One), takes up a role in the guest cast alongside Colin McFarlane who appeared in Eastenders as part of the Who Killed Lucy Beale? storyline. Recognised for her theatre and TV performances, actress Sophie Stone appears in the show for the first time. Sophie was the lead actress in the play Woman of Flowers and has appeared in Midsummer Murders and Casualty."

I approve. A couple of 2 parters within a season were kind of missed.
Oh, God, I hope he's not Davros.
Filming started around the same time last year, so I would assume releasing the new season will follow a similar plan this year, too.
You can pretty safely bet on the 29th of August.
Standards are slipping at the BBC!
So either they've finally gotten good at not leaking where they're working or this two-parter they've been shooting has been completely studio-bound. (Well, K9 did always have problems on location...)
They start a new block next week so maybe some more news then.

Well, rumours over at Gallifrey Base suggest currently being filmed is
a UNIT episode featuring Kate Stewart. Also, location work was recently done at the school used for Coal Hill last year, suggesting Clara is still a teacher and therefore still only a part-time companion, despite what the ending of Last Christmas implied.

Also the shadow near Capaldi in the dress thread
looks a bit like a Sontaran
Ehhhhh...that's a huge stretch. It just looks like the person taking the photo (using a DSLR as oppose to a compact or phone).

Yeah, now that you mention it, is does just look like a guy with a camera. It did sort of look like their collar at first glance.
You can probably expect to see some photos of Michelle Gomez on location soon since the BBC have gone ahead and confirmed she'll be back in Episodes One & Two.

To be honest the really interesting thing to me is that the first four episodes of next series are both two-parters. That's a big (and welcome) change from recent times.
Edit: Claire Higgins who played Ohila in Night Of The Doctor is also in the story. I hope they're not going to try and 'explain' how we got from Simm to Gomez, because I don't like the idea that it's something that needs to be explained.

I figured Michelle Gomez would be back, but I didn't expect her to return that quickly!
