Several?
Well if you count Huw Edwards, three is several.
Gah. Perhaps it’s just my inner pedant, but even with Huw, that’s just few. (Poetry!)
Several is… more than five.
Though, opinions my differ, I had just assumed there was some I hadn’t heard of (or that we were counting things like Birkoff being difficult) that had come to light.
Has anything come of the Noel Clark thing, is it linked to Who, or still just at smoke stage?
It’s quite shocking some of the stuff alleged (and extremely well known… there’s a song featuring Tennant and Tate singing about Barrowman penis antics — though Barrowman was *known* to be like that in the late nineties and around the millennium already. Anyone even tangential to the West End Theatres had heard.) under the RTD era, and am quite sure he is going to currently be on his shiniest best behaviour to try and wipe some of the grime off anything that may affect his reputation.
Our first look at the NuWho redesigned Sea Devils
Also Steven Moffat was on bbc news and dropped some details about the Christmas special

Both tweets are the same, so no preview of the Sea Devils themselves.
That said, I do love Moffat's idea of a hotel in the future that utilizes time travel to occupy vacant rooms in the past.
Another curious nugget: Davies was originally going to write the special and began a draft but then asked Moffat to work on his own idea. So what was Davies' draft going to be about? Will we see it in the future or will it be forever cast away in the dustbin of the past?

The pics I've seen don't look like traditional Sea Devils, but it's entirely possible they're not and are just generic fish people who are either working with, or victims of, the Sea Devils.
I wonder if Moffat will stick to the Christmas special being his last Who?
I also wonder at what point RTD will hang up his pen (re Who, I don't expect him to stop writing)

We all know he won't.
Yeah, and as a lot of people online have said, it's a really good design as well. As has been said could be fish people, could be a Sea Devil genetic experiment, or even a human genetic experiment. Who knows, maybe the reason there's a war between land and sea is because one side is genetically altering it's people to survive on land/in the sea (delete as applicable)
Moffat lies! Actually I think he means it, but I also think he'll have an idea in a couple of years that he just has to write (assuming RTD or whoever is show running lets him)
Moffat will write his final DW before he dies.
Bold of you to assume that death will stop him
From BEYOND THE GRAVE!!
The fatal death not so fatal after all
The Sea Devils look like that because one of the main plots of the series is Russell Torvey's human character falling in love with Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Sea Devil character.
Of course if Davies was truly a progressive person he'd have had him fall in love with an OG Sea Devil instead of a sexy fish woman.

Basically what I meant. He might genuinely believe he's done with this coming special, but in a few years something will happen to lure him back and we'll get at least one more episode.
Plus I wouldn't be surprised if BBC or Disney tries to go after Moffat to take over after RTD decides to leave again and Moffat succumbs to their pressure.
