Doctor who comes back from hiatus on August 27th. Several media outlets were able to preview the episode and have let loose a few details.
Back in July, we had some small details about what to expect from the Let’s Kill Hitler episode. This was followed by Steven Moffat addressing the controversial title. Since then we have heard relatively little about the episode.
Den of Geek probably has the best “spoiler free” encompassing review out there. They sum the episode up by stating:
Our particular advice would be to pay lots of attention. Let’s Kill Hitler is willing to answer a few questions, but it also starts posing more, and it takes turns that we really weren’t expecting at all. Once or twice, we wondered if Let’s Kill Hitler was taking a less interesting turn, but it all turned out to be part of the master plan.
This is the strength of what Steven Moffat’s been doing with Doctor Who, and of Doctor Who as a whole, though. It simply hasn’t lost its ability to surprise. Rather than having a near-50 year backstory as a burden, modern Who increasingly plays it to its advantage. It digs into it when it needs to, but seems decreasingly afraid to make up new rules and ideas. Long may that continue.
Let’s Kill Hitler does leave questions, as it should, and it leads nicely into the remaining episodes of series six. But it also does justify that series break, and it brings Doctor Who back onto our screens with considerable style.
The Mirror has also chimed in with some other details,
“The second half of the hit series kicks off at the end of the month on BBC1 with a mind-boggling episode heavy on laughs and ending with on-screen tears.

Once she and husband Rory find him, another unexpected guest arrives and they all end up transported back in time to Hitler’s office.”
There are more specifics on the Mirror site. If you are trying to stay completely spoiler free, you want to avoid looking. For most fans who don’t mind minor spoilers, have a go.
