Doctor Who S05E12: The Pandorica Opens - The Doctor

© BBC

Yes, it's been a while since we brought you Tube Talk's Trademark Ten Teasers about Doctor Who, so much so that we probably ought to drop the Trademark part from the title now. Anyway, it's the first half of the finale this weekend, and that's a pretty big deal, so we're back with our 'Enigma' mode engaged and set to 'Max'.

Last night, the Pandorica was well and truly opened at BAFTA for an exclusive press screening, and naturally, Tube Talk went along to have a peek inside. Forty-five heart-pounding, seat-edging, mind-melting minutes later, we emerged, teary-eyed, to dash off these ten teasers:

1. Hello sweetie writ large. Literally.

2. "This is royal collection and I'm the ****** *****!

3. Cleopatra's comin' atcha!

4. Drahvins, Zygons, Draconians, oh my!

5. A nifty new Cyber-feature is revealed.

6. An unlikely alliance is formed.

7. The Pandorica opens. And closes.

8. We finally find out where those pesky cracks are coming from.

9. Death. A whole lot more death than you probably anticipated.

10. But don't despair, the last word of the episode is "love".

Suitably teased? Feel free to speculate in the box below.

Fantasic episode possibly the best ever and this should finnaly justify why most of us wanted Steven Moffat to take over just hope they can give it an believably ending to an almost unbelievable episode ever cheers to a fantastic Dr Who production team.

Wow! What a cliffhanger i wonder how the doctor will get out of this one well let hope the finale is as exciting as this one all the baddies from the entire series making a returns means somthing bigRoll on next saturday for The Big Bang

my gawd how acurate "TheOncomingStorm" was and how acurat i was on #9 i did say that and i cried and ahum Digital Spy where in the episode is the last word "love" (River says "I'm sorry, my love" as the Tardis explodes - Ed)

It was probably the best Dr Who episode EVER & I've seen EVERY Dr Who episode

JIm, on June 18th, 2010
I am not sure if anyone else has said it, but in my mind the most feared being in the universe, has to be the Doctor.

'TheOncomingStorm' - Amy's been confirmed fro another series, I think, so she can't be dead. Not properly anyway. Can't wait for this one! Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and Nestene were the ones I heard in the Next Time trailer.
Nigel, on June 18th, 2010
Sounds good. Please Please live up to my expectations.

I agree with fred - I reckon that the most feared creature in the universe IS the Doctor. Maybe when the Pandorica opens, River pushes him in.
Lucy, on June 18th, 2010
The most feared creature in the univers might not be in the Pandorica, but the Pandorica itself
Fred, on June 18th, 2010
me again; 5 might refer to those wierd tentacle-things coming out of the decapitated cyberman's head + attacking Amy, as seen in the advert/screenshot. Could be a new defense mechanism if the rest of the body's damaged or destroyed?

2. Im the bloody queen - Liz 10 is back! Yay :) 3. apparently River is dressed as Cleopatra ...! Dont know about the rest ... but so flippin' excited :D
Emily, on June 17th, 2010

7. it says in the description of Big Bang that the doctor is 'gone'. I reckon that there's nothing in the pandorica at the begining, but it's a trap for the Dr.; it opens, he goes in, it closes, and disappears. it says that the pandorica is a prison for the most feared creature in the universe, and who do the daleks/ cybermen/ sontarans etc. fear the most? the doctor!... or maybe not...

1. Hello sweetie writ large. Literally.- A message on the oldest cliff-face in the universe?2. "This is royal collection and I'm the ****** *****!- I'm the bloody queen! Art collection? Van Gogh painting.3. Cleopatra's comin' atcha!- River Song, dressed as Cleopatra?4. Drahvins, Zygons, Draconians, oh my!- Amongst others!5. A nifty new Cyber-feature is revealed.- They can put themselves back together?6. An unlikely alliance is formed.- Unsure about this one.7. The Pandorica opens. And closes.- And opens again in the future?8. We finally find out where those pesky cracks are coming from.- Yay.9. Death. A whole lot more death than you probably anticipated.- Amy. Dead. For a bit?10. But don't despair, the last word of the episode is "love".- Amy and Rory?
Stephen JM, on June 17th, 2010
Could no.2 be "I'm the bloody Queen".Argh I can't wait!
Danny, on June 17th, 2010
1. I can't wait to see this, pre titles stuff?2. I think this is said by River Song3. I think this is River Song4. This clip is on the BBC website5. The tentacles6. Daleks and Cybermen and Autons and many more to put the Doctor in Pandorica? That's my theory.7. Closes once they stick him in it and erase him from time, opening up for an alternate reality Amy. Like turn left.8. Something goes boom boom9. Autons in red shirts? Or romans in red shirts?10. Arty!
Jack, on June 17th, 2010
I think number 2 is "Bloody Queen" as in Liz Ten when she reveals she is the Queen :)
