Doctor Who: 8 Game-Changing Things To Expect From Series 9

The phrase "game-changing" is one that's thrown about wily nilly in the Whoniverse these days. Game-changing cliffhangers, game-changing character developments... Hell, even the Doctor changing his jacket is cited as game-changing these days (in fact, there's an entire Tumblr page dedicated to it). But how many of these events actually do "change the game", as it were? Usually it's just a word casually dropped into interviews to add a sense of *drama* and it's extremely rare that events turn out to be as Earth-shatteringly climactic as the preceding press releases would have you believe. Is Series 9 about to change that?

Well, your guess is as good as ours for the time being, but here are 8 genuinely game-changing things that have already been unearthed about Series 9 thus far. Suffice to say, autumn can't get here quick enough.
