Dive, dive, dive! Eight Reasons Why We Can’t Wait to Go Under the Lake!
The Doctor Who Team
Episode 3 of the new series is called Under the Lake and premieres on BBC One this Saturday at 8.25pm. Here are 8 reasons why we can’t wait…
It’s the Clara and the Doctor versus ghosts!
Doctor Who has flirted with ghosts in the past. Think Hide, from series 7, for example. But in Under the Lake, it’s full on undead action with phantoms at large on an underwater base making for a very spirited adventure…
We want to know what happened 7 or 8 hours earlier…
Paul Kaye!
We’re Game of Thrones fans and so having Paul Kaye on board for the ep is another reason for us to get excited. In Thrones he played Thoros and although we’re not sure about his role in Doctor Who, he seems to be playing a dead guy in a top hat. Oh-Kaye…
Toby Whithouse
It’s by the same writer that gave us School Reunion, The Vampires of Venice, The God Complex and A Town Called Mercy. We couldn’t be happier, unless this one was called The Vampire School Mercy Complex. Maybe next time.
New, New, New!
We love Missy, the Daleks, Davros and Skaro. In fact love is too small a word for it. But Doctor Who always mixes it up well and after a cracking adventure with some familiar foes it’s great to be plunged into a new adventure with new threats and new friends. Which one of these guys do you think will be your fave?
That line!
One of our favourite things about the trailer below was the Doctor’s line: ‘Every time I think it couldn’t get any more extraordinary it surprises me. It’s impossible, I hate it, it’s evil, it’s astonishing… I want to kiss it to death!’ Well, it’s from this episode so at last we’ll get to learn who or what he was on about…
A cool, underwater base…
There’s something claustrophobic and inherently dangerous about a sub-aquatic complex. Yep, setting the action in an underwater base immediately makes this an intriguing story and not just because it gives us an opportunity to make puns about the Doctor being out of his depth…
When Ghosts Attack!
We know we’ve already had a little squee about it being a ghost story, but look! These particular ghosts are tooled up and comin’ at ya… Who you gonna call? THE DOCTOR!!!
