A poster has described some of the contents of embargoed promotional images for the finale. The images include Rory dressed as a Roman Soldier and a litany of monsters including:

* Daleks

* Cybermen

* Sycorax

* Weevils

* Silurians

* Judoon

The title for episode twelve has been confirmed by the announcement of this BAFTA preview event.

A poster has revealed the following tidbits:

* Rory is "the Lone Centurion".

* Its "1,984 years later".

* The Future Sonic might reappear...

* Inside the Pandorica chamber, the Doctor gets strapped to a chair that shakes violently. I guess a similar thing to the ones in the Stargate Universe.

Shut up. I was typing that on my phone and it doesn't have T.A.R.D.I.S in its memory.

Bow ties are cool.

I'm starting to form a few thoughts on where they're going to go with the finale - every enemy ever?

I hope not - I could do without the giant ambulatory virus from "The Invisible Enemy".

1 In some ways it's the most unusual Doctor Who ever episode ever; never has the show been less plot-lead and more character-led

2 It?s very, very emotional at times

3 Anyone expecting an out-and-out comedy from Richard Curtis will be surprised. This is about Van Gogh ? it doesn?t shy away from depression and suicide. If anything, the episode is quite melancholy

4 The opening scene is a blinder

5 An ongoing gag about the TARDIS?s abilities won?t make any sense to people who don?t know the show inside-out

6 Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

7 There?s a glorious visual reference to the painting ?Starry Night?

8 The Doctor makes a slip of the tongue

9 There?s some mutual sartorial appreciation going on

10 There?s a major story element that some will decry as a massive plot hole and others will embrace on a metaphorical level

11 The TARDIS is redecorated

12 Two former Doctors make an unexpected appearance (for one of them it?s their third appearance this year)

number 12 :woot:

Rappy, Vincent and the Doctor is the tenth episode, not eleventh. Muwahaha.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
