Myths

 * The Doctor is rumored to be left without the TARDIS in this story.
 * The Nimon may also return as hinted by Russell T Davies in the 22nd Window of the Doctor Who Advent Calendar.
 * Russell T Davies stated in the commentary for The Next Doctor that it will feature UNIT, as well as two new characters named Christina and Malcolm.
 * The Zarbi are also rumored to return as they were hinted in the 22nd window of the Doctor Who advent calender and RTD mentioned wanting to name an episode "Planet of the Zarbi".
 * The titular planet of the episode is rumored to be Gallifrey, suggesting that Russell T Davies' closing tenure means that these specials will see a close, or at least an explanation to the heavily hinted at Time War across the previous four series. Some have speculated that the Easter setting makes for a story of resurrection.
