Not content with killing off the Doctor's companion and frenemy, the Daleks go one step further to deliver a truly epic cliffhanger. As Davros cackles with glee, the Doctor is forced to watch as the Supreme Dalek orders the TARDIS to be destroyed. 

It isn't the first time in Doctor Who history that an episode has ended with the TARDIS seemingly destroyed (see Frontios for example) but it certainly built on the shocking exterminations of Missy and Clara to give audiences a proper water-cooler moment; the Doctor will certainly find a way to circumvent it, but that will be half the fun, guessing just how this huge moment will be resolved next week.
