Just right to get into the mood for the new season. And it works.
It was actually shot this morning. If you go to the Abbey Road website they have a webcam and you can watch it being shot starting at 7.45am
Is that Dalek going to cup her ass with his sucker?
Yeah, but the rear Dalek is leaning in the exact position of a dying yeti from the Rutland Book Of The Dead, so it could go either way...
Radio Times has up an article that analyzes the "Clara Is Dead" clues from the Abbey Road photo, even down to the license plate on the VW Bug.
I notice that Capaldi's feet are in the wrong position, so that totally throws things out of whack.

Yep.
And I want RTD to write that story. Whatever the story was for her return when the SJA were going on. His original premise obviously surrounded that show, but I like to think he can mutate it for a Twelfth Doctor reunion story. And comment how similar/different he looks to her "Professor". I'd seriously love this.
That said, I'd also love to see Jo Grant back. Just for the sake of bringing her properly in the show back - although she did meet the Eleventh Doctor in Death of the Doctor.
I doubt RTD would willingly contradict BF, given his affection and admiration for them, especially during the Wilderness Years. But, it would indeed be a great step forward for this character, and if written by RTD, in an interesting way I bet.
The show wouldn't even really need to delve to that BF history - just an oft reference to it in an off-hand manner during a conversation. But largely, the curio would indeed be on how she survived the Time War - and if she was brought back without Gallifrey, the time lock/pocket universe.
Well, I mentioned Jo, but I wouldn't actually mind if she didn't come back.
So really, my personal choices would be Ian, Susan, Ace and maybe Romana. I'd love to see Jamie, and Vicki respectively (particularly Jamie), if they did a story in their time periods and not for the sake of seeing them again.
Leela's fate it tied with the Companion Chronicles - I think she was resurrected into a little girl afte the Time War? Can't tell for sure.
And Tegan had a tumor in BF's The Gathering, though I'm not sure if she survived it, since it turned out to be an alien living in her brain (!).
Now, Mel... she was a great companion under BF, and her fate could be touched upon if wanted by NuWho... but she's not the most popular of companions, is she?
Methos was born in a time when most people were illiterate, and hardly anyone kept track of their ages. According to Wikipedia, Methos said his memory got a bit "fuzzy" in the years before he "took his first head." But that's still several millennia of memories he's got.
I can't think of one person who ever said they liked Mel.
This Doctor does 900 years spent on Trenzalore, which is a long time for anyone to spent on one place. But I doubt he won't, absolutely, remember Ian, Barbara and Susan. Those travels should be his most fondly remembered!
Big Finish really did make the character work, though. Just listen to Fires of Vulcan or The Juggernauts.
I can think of hundreds, if not thousands. It's not just Colin Baker that Big Finish saved.
I always liked Mel (partially from nostalgia, partially because we have the same name, although shortened from another) but I've loved her appearances in the Big Finish stories.
You still can't really compare the Doctor and Methos. The Doctor has done so much more with his life, been to so many different times and places across the ENTIRETY of time and space...not to mention the whole regeneration thing. Becoming a new person, yet still tied to the person you were, and most of the time it goes a bit wonky. He couldn't even tell the difference between Clara and Strax when he regenerated into Twelve, at least until his brain returned to normal.
Methos is just a guy that's been living on Earth. A very long time, yes, but he's had significantly less to occupy himself with compared to a guy who bounces all around the whole universe and in between timelines.

At the time we didn't know how uncool angora/mohair cat sweaters were.
Hells, at the time we thought Ace was dressed like a cool rebellious street kid.
From this side of History Mel look's like a Nana, and Ace looks like she's trying way too hard.

First look at Jenna as Queen Victoria
Looks good. Is she amused? 
So will the series cover her life up to the events of "Tooth and Claw" or not? Eve Myles is also in the cast, so there's defintely going to be some Torchwood stuff in it.
