Doctor Who: 12 Things You Need To Know About Series 9

A round up of the facts.

Is it autumn yet? No, unfortunately not. After Last Christmas, fans have been left to twiddle their thumbs as they while away the remaining weeks (somehow that makes the wait sound more bearable than saying 'months') until the Doctor's long overdue return to our screens in the fall.

All that's really been revealed about Series 9 thus far is that Clara Oswald is sticking around (and seemingly for the duration), the finale begins with a "whopper" of a cliffhanger and Missy will also be back with a vengeance to wreak more timey-wimey havoc along the way. if all of that wasn't enough to get excited about, here's a list compiling 12 things that have already been revealed about Series 9.
