As the mid-season finale of Doctor Who draws nearer, some teasers from the episode, ‘A Good Man Goes To War’, have been released. Please note that they may contain mild spoilers.
Earlier today Digital Spy released the following ten teasers:
- Remember not to interact with the headless monks (without divine permission)
- “Oh turn it off. I’m breaking in, not out!”
- The Doctor calls on favours from a number of familiar faces
- “They don’t put up a balloon or anything!”
- A line from a previous episode takes on a new significance.
- “****** ******** is a geography teacher, ****** **** is a superhero”
- Sontarans can produce a tasty drink.
- Rory: “That’s probably enough ******* now”
- River Song’s true identity is revealed in the episode’s final moments.
- The (frankly brilliant) title to episode eight is revealed before the end credits roll.
SFX have also revealed some teasers about the episode saying:
- It is amazing – a true five-star episode
- It’s action-packed and feels so much more epic than a usual single parter
- There are lots of surprise guests stars (and some will be a surprise) but unlike in “The Pandorica Opens” none of them feels wasted – they all have a chance to shine
- There are some revelations that really will make your jaw drop
- There is a terrific battle scene at the end (which more than makes up for a slightly underwhelming and confusingly directed one in the first half)
- Although there’s lots of time travelling, it’s not a timey-whimey-reliant plot.
- The Doctor produces something very revealing from the TARDIS
- Rory says something very funny to an old enemy that you can’t believe has never been said before
- It’s a great episode for both Rory and Amy (and Matt Smith is as brilliant as ever, especially in a sudden, unexpected emotional moment)
- A throwaway line from last season becomes a major plot device
- Somebody is asked to make a donation
- Somebody very unexpected is playing doctors and nurses
- Look carefully at the monitor screens and the corridors
- And please, please, please, if anyone has leaked the title for the next episode onto the internet, avoid the temptation to check it out. When the caption comes up at the end, “The Doctor Will Be Back In…” it was so unexpected and made us grin so much, we’d hate you to miss having the same experience…
Make of these what you will and be sure to catch the mid-season finale this Saturday on BBC One if you live in the UK and on BBC America the following week.
