Good news in regards to the spoiler. I was really hoping that would be the case.
Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner
- Thread starter Allyn Gibson
- Start date
There was someone they kept smuggling onto set under big umbrellas or wearing oversized coats with the hood up, so that could have been them.
I'm beginning to feel distant hype for all of this. It's on the way now. Soon we will be counting weeks, then days. Then... well, that's the trouble with regeneration... you never know quite what you're going to get.
The amazing thing is we'll be getting news/set photos from Series 15 before Tennant's first episode even airs.
What a different world from recent (and honestly, not so recent) series.
You can hype things too much. I've seen films and TV that were on the hype train months before they aired and when they finally did you almost felt like you'd already seen them because so much had already been released. I'm hoping RTD has some surprises in store of us (obviously one entire episode at least!)
Hmm, so the plot of Ncuti & Millie's first episode seems to have partially leaked. It could be total nonsense but the BBC have been copyright striking videos that talk about it, so you never know.
Like I say, could be total nonsense based on a few stray facts gleaned from set reports, but it does seem to have caused to Beeb to try and clamp down on its spread.
Title is "The Church on Ruby Road" - We know from set photos that there's a church and a Ruby Road.
Ruby Tuesday was found as a baby on the road on Christmas Eve (which was a Tuesday) and that's where she got her name - We've long known that her mother in the series isn't her birth mother.
She goes on a Davina McCall (welcome back!) TV show to try and find her real parents.
Strange things have happened around her her whole life but she thinks it's just down to bad luck.
Ruby's "bad luck" seems to rub off on Davina who gets killed by a Christmas Tree!
Her foster mother announces that she's taking in a new baby only for it to be kidnapped by goblins (aka the aliens that people mistook them for).
The Doctor gets involved at this point and the pair rescue the baby; but then Ruby vanishes as does her foster mother's (and everyone else bar the Doctor's) memories of her.
Various timey-wimey shenanigans occur, Ruby (and Davina) are saved and it looks like her reason for traveling with the Doctor will be to find out where she really came from.
The Doctor also tells Ruby about discovering he didn't know the truth about his past either. (So while I don't expect it ever to be a big thing again, it's not being swept under the carpet either.)

Not going to click on it, not going to click on it, not going to click on it...
I'm not saying I'm completely sold on its legitimacy, but it does sound plausible.
I'm kind of hoping they're not now because I've also seen the 60th Anniversary ending spoilers that came with them, and if true it'll make the reaction to the Timeless Child stuff seem tame in comparison...
As suspected, the 14th & 15th Doctors will appear together to fight the Toymaker but because of 'reasons' the 14th Doctor will somehow split-off instead of regenerating, allowing Tennant to return whenever he wants.
I swear...
This rumor comes up with every new Doctor now. There were rumors that there would be three 13th Doctors across time that would need to unify at the end of her first season.
^Reminds me of back when the rumor every season was that the finale would have a total continuity reboot with the incumbent being the new "first" Doctor and none of their adventures having happened anymore. Never made much sense to me, the lack of a clean slate hasn't seemed to restrict Doctor Who meaningfully before.
New look at David Tennant's maybe Fourteenth Doctor:
This comes from Radio Times and includes some information from the last issue of the Doctor Who Magazine, where Tennant talks about the role:

The Doctor's been three different people in the meantime, so I’m not necessarily the same version of the Doctor that I was before. I’m not the Tenth Doctor now, I’m the Fourteenth. Well, strictly speaking we don’t know what the actual number is anymore, do we?

That's interesting, suggests RTD may not be completely ignoring the Timeless Child. In some ways I'd be glad of this. A because it means we might get Jo Martin again one day but also because it leaves the option to do another War Doctor, get a high profile actor to play the Doctor without he or she having to tie themselves down to a 2/3/4 year contract. I can see that appealing to RTD.
You can almost see the titles of a Christmas special. "And starring Kate Winslet as The Doctor."

Could also be Tennant nerd-joking about the numbering of the current Doctors being out - whilst the BBC refers to the "main" Doctors as consecutive, technically Tennant was both 10 AND 11 due to regenerating in Journey's End, even if he kept the same face. And since the War Doctor did admit to being "the Doctor once again" at the end (and his other selves acknowledged him as the Doctor earlier in the story) really that makes Eccles 10, Tennant 11/12, etc...
+ a few hundred or so if they wanna take the Timeless Child Doctors into account.

When did RTD ever mention the Doctor being half-human in a vague sorta way?
Weird looking 4 lights on the top of the truck.
^^You know, there are actually 6 lights.
