Archie Panjabi, Anita Dobson and Millie Gibson tease what's going to happen in the Doctor Who Season Two finale episode 'The Reality War'

The CultBox staff has collated another compendium of statements from assorted sources to give us an overview of what might plausibly be coming to our screens on Saturday.

While the stars are doing a good job of focusing away from the actual storyline (that's why they earn the big bucks 😄), the released screenshots seem to indicate a showdown between the "reawakened" UNIT staff and the Rani?

Finally, some more or less unsourced tidbits:

  • The Bone place is described as the endoskeleton of a beast.
  • The runtime of The Reality War is 1 hour, 6 minutes.
  • A teaser trailer for The War Between the Land and the Sea will drop after transmission.

I'll definitely be looking out for that spinoff preview!

“[The Rani's] brilliant, she’s unapologetic, and she’s totally out of sync with any moral compass.”

“She’s a wild force. She’ll burn anyone or anything to get what she wants, dancing with chaos like it’s her birthright.”

I'm liking what I'm hearing here.

I have to admit, I had suspected that we might not actually see Omega - or it would be a menacing cameo like Timothy Dalton's Rassilon - but it sounds like that might not be the case.

I still don't have a clue how much we're going to see of Omega. Seems there are so many other pieces set up in "Wish world" and, oh, the last two seasons.

With so much going on, even in 66 minutes, Omega could turn out just a background threat about to surface during the entire finale, and eventually stopped from doing so. But I could be wrong.
