- Thread starter Whofan
- Start date
*cough Douglas Adams cough over 14 million copies of THHGTTG sold worldwide cough*
it's a regenerated Susan.
True, but in Addams' case, he did Doctor Who first and then became famous with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, whereas both Curtis and Gaiman have been famous for years prior to their work on the show.
Sorry to ressurect this after two months, but a teaser summary of this episode has been released by the BBC:
The Doctor receives a distress signal from an old friend. Could there really be another living Time Lord out there? Hopes raised, he follows the signal to a junkyard planet sitting upon a mysterious asteroid in a Bubble universe, populated by a very strange family, as the time-travelling drama continues.
The Doctor, Amy and Rory are given the warmest of welcomes by Auntie, Uncle and Nephew. But the beautiful and insane Idris greets them in a more unusual fashion – what is she trying to tell the Doctor? As the Doctor investigates, he unwittingly puts his friends in the gravest danger.
The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Amy by Karen Gillan, Rory by Arthur Darvill and Idris by Suranne Jones.

Also possible spoiler speculation
So it could be another Time Lord/Lady, although it could also be a humanized TARDIS as some have speculated. Last time we saw Romana she was in another universe, interestingly enough. Also the bit about Idris being insane-maybe her adventures didn't work out as planned, she regenerated a few times and went nuts, possibly because she sensed all the other Time Lords were dead? The war did effect the Doctor and the Master somewhat, with The Ninth being somewhat traumatized and the Master being so scared he turned into a human. And of course Rassilon and the others became sort of crazy too.
Idris is going to be either a (the) TARDIS or...
or else she's who the little girl from the spacesuit regenerates into at the end of Day of The Moon - we don't see who she becomes in that episode, so maybe this is where we find out.
*gets pitchforks and torches*
Surprisingly, I don't want Idris to be Romana because the implication would be she's been in E-Space all this time (or in transition from), which would mean all the adventures she had in Big Finish would have happened. Nitpicky, I know, but there it is.
Actually...
In some way you could say it works in favor because Romana and company spend the series visiting a variety of alternate universes and the series ends with them stuck in one of them.
your triple spoiler tags don't frickin' work!
Yes they do
i meant, you can't open them! i could only read it by quoting your message.
And I can open them. So they did work which is what David was saying.
^ They worked for me in the original post, though I almost lost interest around the second one 
I'm reviving this thread from a few weeks back just for fun because of all the speculation over who Idris was going to be: The Master, the little girl from Day of the Moon, The Rani, Romana, Susan, The War Chief.
If Stan Lee will forgive me stealing his shtick, I'll accept the No-Prize for being the first in the thread to guess correctly the NATURE of Idris' character. While Lonemagpie takes the Gold-Plated No Prize for being the only contributor to the thread to nail it!
