Rumours

 * It will include a shuttlebus crash (as shown in trailer).
 * This episode focuses on the Doctor who is scared by the knocking on the wall; possibly the sound of drums that The Master heard. A possible refernce to the woman who took the Master's ring at the end of "Last of the TimeLords".
 * The Doctor will disapear at the end of the episode making Turn Left a Doctor-lite episode when Donna Noble gets help from a girl believed to be lost for ever-Rose Tyler. Unlikely as the Doctor is in the begining of the next episode.
 * It will be on of the "Darkness Episodes", which is a theory that there will be a long stretch of episodes from Silence in the Library to the end of the series, all focusing on darkness. It is also viewed by some as the Series Arc. This was highlighted in a "Reaction Video" on Youtube, called "Rosiannas Reaction". This is also drawn from the "The stars are going out"(Wilf) and "It's coming, the darkness"(Rose) quotes on the mid-season trailer.
