Heaven Sent / Hell Bent official details. (Spoilers!)

"Doctor you've saved us all, we will make you President again for this!"

"Ah..I've em..just got to get something from this room"

[Tardis sound].

They wouldn't fall for that again, would they?


Since Moffat actually hates the Time Lords and Gallifrey and has already apologised for restoring Gallifrey, it should be obvious to all that Gallifrey and the Time Lords are not returning permanently to the show. Therefore the episode is going to establish some reason for that.

Maybe Gallifrey will be like the 4th Tower of Inverness, not in our universe, but accessible under the right circumstances.
 
If they make the Xmas special 70 minutes, that'd make up the episode's worth of material we're otherwise short this season.

Then all they need to do is make all the episodes in 2017 twice as long and we won't have lost anything. :devil:
 
The Radio times has a (partial) Guest Cast list for 'Hell Bent' with some interesting names :

The President: Donald Sumpter (Another GOT veteran.)
The General: Ken Bones (Back from DOTD.)
Ohila: Clare Higgins (Already knew this one.)
The Woman: Linda Broughton (Are you my Mummy?)
 
So, by The President I guess we can assume Gallifrey has a new Lord President?

And looking over the full cast posted on Radio Times, I find it odd they left Jenna Coleman out given DWM has already confirmed she's in it.
 
Shouldn't it be Timothy Dalton, given that Gallifrey's frozen in an instant in time? Of course, he could've been hurt by John Simm's Master and had to regnerate.

You know, this kind of excites me. I mean, how rare is that?

If the Master was able to regenerate and escape, we can assume Rassilon was able to die or regenerate.

Although if this President is just a regenerated Rassilon, he should be played by Pierce Brosnan. ;)

Moffat rewrote events in DOTD so it wasn't all the Time Lords who were evil, so probably right.

Then again it looks like they've regenerated Claire Bloom, so you never know.

If The President is a regenerated Rassilon, I'll be very disappointed simply because of this missed opportunity.
 
Its sad that we simply can't simply have Timothy Dalton returning for the part. How awesome would it have been to have Capaldi and Dalton spare verbally.
 
The general in Day of the Doctor mentioned that Rassilon's plans had already failed, so it's entirely possible that he was seen for the nutjob he was and overthrown; perhaps sent back to his eternal slumber.
 
Could Leela have been kept alive all this time on Gallifrey by the Time Lords? Could we get a Louise Jameson cameo?? Too much to hope for I suppose. She was one of the best companions in my opinion.
 
I don't know how "frozen" Gallifrey is after all, since they can open cracks at will & send out regeneration energy.

That would be cool! But, sadly, very unlikely. They passed up on an even cooler opportunity to bring William Russell back for one of the episodes set in Coal Hill School.

And prior DW veteran- he was the submarine commander in The Sea Devils, way back at the start of his career.
 
Taking another look over the Radio Times guest list, I noticed there's a listing for a "Female General." So either we're seeing other officers from Gallifrey's senior military command, or perhaps the General is going to regenerate?
