The official synopsis are out for the second half of Doctor Who series 7. There is also a new collection of photos from the first episode, “The Bells of St. John.”
Yesterday we revealed the posters that go with series 7. Today the synopsis have been released as well as hints as to what is to come in the final, yet officially unnamed, episode.
“The Bells of St. John”
The Doctor’s search for Clara Oswald brings him to modern day London, where humanity lives in a wi-fi soup. But something dangerous is lurking in the signals, picking off minds and imprisoning them. As Clara becomes the target of this insidious menace, the Doctor races to save her and the world from an ancient enemy.
“The Rings of Akhaten”
Clara wants to see something awesome, so the Doctor whisks her off to the inhabited rings of the planet Akhaten, where the Festival of Offerings is in full swing. Clara meets the young Queen of Years as the pilgrims and natives ready for the ceremony. But something is stirring in the pyramid, and a sacrifice will be demanded.
“Cold War”
The Doctor and Clara land on a damaged Russian Submarine in 1983 as it spirals out of control into the ocean depths. An alien creature is loose on board, having escaped from a block of Arctic ice. With tempers flaring and a cargo of nuclear weapons on board, it’s not just the crew but the whole of humanity at stake!
“Hide”
Clara and the Doctor arrive at Caliburn House, a haunted mansion sat alone on a desolate moor. Within its walls, a ghost hunting Professor and a gifted psychic are searching for the Witch of the Well. Her apparition appears throughout the history of the building, but is she really a ghost? And what is chasing her?
There is also a final episode whose title has not officially been announced. However, in a Q & A that took place at Trinity College in Dublin, Steven Moffet confirmed it will involve Alex Kingston, who plays River Song, and it will also bring in the much anticipated mystery of Trenzalore, “Yes. She will certainly be in this series…Is there more to come about, as it were, Trenzalore and the battle in The Doctor’s future that led to the attempts on his life in the past? Is that what you’re asking? Yes.”
Below are the first images from “The Bells of St. John.”
