Ten teasers about 'The End Of Time'

Earlier this evening a couple of hundred lucky people were treated to a special screening of 'The End Of Time, Part One', the first half of David Tennant's final Doctor Who adventure, at BBC HQ in London. This first episode - due to air on Christmas Day on BBC One, and December 26 on BBC America - mainly concerns itself with setting up events for the climactic final half. So what can we tell you? Welllll, saying too much would ruin the surprises and prompt Russell T Davies to come burn down our office so instead, be prepared to be teased in the most gentle of ways with these ten hints:

1. The first line of the episode? "It is said that in the final days of planet Earth, everyone had bad dreams."

2. Continuing the Children In Need scene, where The Doctor is in the cave with The Ood, he sees visions of The Master, Joshua Naismith... and Wilf.

3. The Master's resurrection is preposterous. Absolutely preposterous. Lucy Saxon - incarcerated after the events of 'The Last of the Time Lords' - plays a key part in the process. And she has such lovely lipstick.

4. We don't have to wait too long before The Master and The Doctor come face-to-face for their Star Wars-esque battle. Other films getting small nods in 'Part One' include Jaws 2 (thump thump) and The Matrix.

5. Joshua Naismith, an idiot and a fool, wants Harold Saxon The Master to do something for him.

6. There's an awful lot of Wilf in this episode. Not too much Donna to start with, although we find out what she's been doing with her life while The Doctor's been absent. And she's still very special.

7. POTUS!

8. Random words from the script: "cactus" (Wilf), "shimmer" (Doctor), "coincidence" (TV), "so hungry" (Master), "...new man goes sauntering away" (Doctor).

9. New picture alert:



10. An entry posted here on Tube Talk in the last day or so (not necessarily Who-related) is actually pretty significant.
