June 24, 20178 yr Moffat needs to go - awful, arrogant man. Lucky this is his last series then :basil:
June 24, 20178 yr He got someone fired from working with Doc Who EVER AGAIN because he told the cretin that he had written a plothole, but he could fix it with adding a line. Moffat just walked away from him without a word. He then got the sack. Vile man.
June 24, 20178 yr Loved that. Didn't guess that man was the Master until he walked in on Missy and I don't know how but I could just tell. Worried for Bill tho.
June 24, 20178 yr Loved the episode 10/10 And John Simm returning, for some reason at the back of my mind the producers was going to tease us with John Simm would be the next Doctor and try to twist the story a bit.
June 24, 20178 yr Author Bill dies/ leaves this season though right?? Moffat's said, at the Q&A thing, that that's it for Bill and she's dead, but rule 1 is that Moffat lies so time will tell!
June 24, 20178 yr That was a much better episode I agree... I also agree it could have been even better if I didn't already know about the Cybermen and the Master featuring in it. I think they could have done more with the difference in time aspect but maybe it would have felt too much like the Girl in the Fireplace story if they had done. Just how many times has Bill sort of died this season?!!! She seems to have been in peril virtually every episode.
June 24, 20178 yr Has the Doctor lost any other companions to death (and staying dead) before? A few in the revival series. Astrid & Amy spring to mind, and I think there were a few in the original series that a few of the more clued-in fans on here could fill you in on
June 24, 20178 yr Oh yeah Astrid :lol: duh. Amy only died aster a long and happy life though, i kinda meant dying while with the Doctor.
June 24, 20178 yr Author If I remember correctly, the only full-time companion to actually die is Adric, companion of the 4th and 5th Doctors, plus there's Clara technically I guess! Out of the one-off companions, there's Astrid as mentioned already as well as Adelaide from The Waters of Mars.

June 24, 20178 yr I've just googled and apparently not. I could've sworn I recalled Ace departing by dying. Odd!
June 24, 20178 yr Well it appears Bill finally did something interesting then :smoke: She remains my least favourite companion of the revived series by far. Doesn't help that Peter is my least fave doc. :lol:
June 25, 20178 yr Author Just done some research on companion deaths, two short-lived companions died in the same story in the Hartnell era - Katarina (who'd only joined in the previous story) and Sara Kingdom (who only appeared in that very story - The Daleks' Master Plan). Android companion Kamelion is destroyed by the Fifth Doctor as an act of mercy too, but he only appeared in two stories mostly due to technical issues. Otherwise just Adric from the classic series. I guess we could kinda add River Song to the list for the new series but she died the first time the Doctor met her, wibbly wobbly and all that :')
June 25, 20178 yr Ace never got an exit. The show was cancelled and she was gone without explanation by the 1996 movie. I loved when she swapped places with Mel. Bonnie Langford's screaming *_* Edited June 25, 20178 yr by T Boy in Weeyals

It always used to be a requirement that to be a companion you had to travel with The Doctor, in the TARDIS and appear in more than one serial or it didn't count. Then the series relaunched and it seems anyone who spends half an hour with The Doctor counts now I preferred the old criteria
