Rumours

 * The shadows may be the same or a similar sort of being as the Shadow which killed Elton Pope's mother in DW: Love and Monsters; the Shadows may eat the flesh of whomever is shaded by one.
 * It is rumoured this story will feature Cybermen (possibly Mondasian ones) However, this is unlikely as they are known to be appearing in the Christmas special.
 * Captain Jack Harkness may return. However, he does not appear in the trailer, although it could be a surprise appearance.
 * This plot may be similar to BFA: The Genocide Machine.
 * Possibly set on the Lost Moon of Poosh
 * It is rumoured (through an unreliable source) that this story sets the tone for the finale by Donna finding and reading her history in a book in the library. It tells her that she 'died' at the hands of the Empress of the Racnoss... (in the 2006 Christmas special)
 * If that rumour is true and Donna's death is foretold it may be similar to The Satan Pit when the Beast predicted Rose's 'death'.
