Per iPlayer:

Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble
Susan Twist as Susan Triad
Aidan Cook as The Vlinx
Nicholas Briggs as The Voice of the Vlinx

I know we knew Rose Noble was returning but I wasn't sure if we knew she was back for this episode or just the finale.

Part one of the series 14 finale is almost here! Any last speculations and/or Hail Marys on the mystery of Ruby Sunday, Susan Twist, the Pantheon, etc.?

Ah, nice catch!

I wonder if The Fifteenth Doctor's decision to duplicate the TARDIS for The Fourteenth Doctor has ramifications that are playing out now. Perhaps The Toymaker deliberately set The Doctor up to use the mallet in such a manner that would later cause further trouble?
 
Interesting idea.
I had one thought, but if that's the case it makes it even more interesting.
I had been wondering if Susan Triad was actually Susan Foreman, making Ruby The Doctor's great-granddaughter, but if Triad is the TARDIS then Ruby would be her daughter instead, which would be an even crazier reveal.
 
Bleeding Cool had a non-spoiler review up this morning that apparently was still too much to be allowed and it got deleted. :eek: One thing I did see on it before its deletion was that it at least confirmed who the Big Bad was not:

- It's not the Master.
- It's not the Rani. (It was never going to be the Rani.)
- It's not the Daleks.
- It's not the Cybermen.

I've seen one article, I can't remember where, that mentions that it might be Azal from the Third Doctor's "The Daemons" who is the Big Bad this season.

Meddling Monk confirmed!
 
Wait, already a series finale?
Didn't they just start with that Doctor duplication/Toymaker special and have four episodes or so?
 
Eight episodes really isn't enough time to grow to know The Doctor or companions. If they're going to remain only 8 episode seasons then I hope that Ncuti breaks the modern trend and does at least 4 "full" seasons to make up for the missing time.

While I'll always be a fan of the bigger US TV seasons from the 90s/early 2000s I get why shorter seasons became a thing, but its getting ridiculous at this point. Once you cut down to 8 episodes, 6 can't be far behind, then 4 is right there and soon we'll be lucky to get the equivalent of a TV/Streaming movie.
 
So the 'demon' Sues from the teaser trailers were just red herrings and essentially postcards of off-world visits The Doctor and Ruby had in between weekly transmissions...nice cheap way of avoiding big budget alien planets before settling in modern bustling London on Earth, never change RTD


RTD- They had adventures in between episodes and not showing those adventures saved us some money!
 
I've just remembered there's one thing we haven't seen yet, and ironically it was the very first piece of information Russell teased about the series; Episode 7 has scenes set in Roswell in 1947.

I've know we've seen shots of Ncuti and Millie in military-style outfits but there's no way in hell they're passing for US soldiers in the 1940s, unless they're going down the Bridgerton route to the past again.

I actually like having a bit of room between episodes for offscreen adventures that we don't see, for spinoff material and because it makes the various Doctor's seem like they last longer in universe then they do on our TV screens, but it has been a bit ridiculous this time. Wasn't there a six month skip between episode 1-2 or 2-3?
