Doctor Who Spoilers: 10 Story-Line Set-Ups That Will Shape Season 8

6. Derelict Ships Crewed By Robots Heading To The Promised Land

Doctor Who Cybermen The Doctor says that this rings a bell. We€™re going to go out on a limb and say that this should be ringing out a host of Christmas carols for the man. The basis behind the story in Deep Breath is that repair droids from a stranded timeship are attempting to repair their craft using human body parts, to reach €˜the Promised Land€™. The basis behind Robots Of Sherwood is that repair droids from a stranded spaceship are attempting to use local gold to repair their craft, to reach €˜the Promised Land€™. We€™ve already seen in Deep Breath that the Half-Face Man€™s ship was originally a sister ship to the SS Madame Pompadour from season two€™s The Girl In The Fireplace €“ the SS Marie Antoinette. We€™ve already seen the 12th Doctor struggle to recall that episode from his life €“ why is he still having trouble putting the pieces together in Robots Of Sherwood, when he€™s supposed to be over his regeneration amnesia? This repetition of older events is clearly a major plot point for the series as it goes on. We can€™t wait to find out how€ could it be something to do with the rumoured reemergence of the Cybermen in the series finale?
