9. Episode 4
Written by: Toby Whithouse Directed by: Daniel O' Hara Guest starring: Paul Kaye, Morven Christie, Arsher Ali, Colin McFarlane, Sophie Stone, Zaqi Ismail, Steven Robertson and Neil Fingleton More two-parters effectively means that each story will be increased to 90 minutes in length which is definitely good news for Doctor Who fans who are usually complaining (amongst other things) that episodes aren't long enough. Don't get too comfortable with this new format, however, because Steven Moffat has revealed that he's "shaking things up" for Series 9 which suggests that viewers will never know for sure when one story is about to end and another one is beginning. Separate stories might even overlap, too, just to make things even more confusing, but at least that means we'll constantly be on the edge of our seat. More so than usual. Exciting!
