11 Wild Theories About Doctor Who Series 8

We exterminate solid information and start speculating about Series 8...

Please note that this article does not contain information from the leaked scripts of the first five episodes of Series 8 and the advance screening of Deep Breath. In deference to other readers, we request that you do not discuss this information in the comments section. Whenever a new series of Doctor Who is in the works, the internet rumour mills go into overdrive and spin so fast that they could probably power half of Ipswich if they weren€™t a metaphor. It's part and parcel of Doctor Who being such a popular programme. Plus it sells newspapers and helps fans pass the time until the new series begins. A lot of the time these rumours are practically plucked out of thin air and based on nothing but a throwaway comment or image. For instance, the rumour that a secondary character is either the Master or the Rani crops up pretty much every year without fail. This series, new recurring character Danny Pink was singled out as the Master in disguise by some fans while others have guessed at Keeley Hawes€™ character Ms Delphox (Set to appear in Episode 5) as being the Rani. Another recent rumour that held no weight was a number of Doctor Who pundits (if there is such a thing) jumping to the conclusion that Davros was definitely returning based on a voice in a sixteen second teaser trailer that was very obviously a Dalek. It was a theory based on practically nothing but it sparked a lot of friendly debate and creative theories on how he could return. So rumours do have some value. And if you can€™t beat them, join them. Apart from the new Deep Breath trailer, official news is quickly becoming drier than the surface of Skaro. So we€™ve decided to indulge in a bit of guesswork and speculation. Which is why today we€™re bringing you this list of 11 Wild Theories About Series 8. All unconfirmed, some probably a bit mad, and one or two that might be right on the money€
