NO WAY... DOCTOR WHO 'EMPIRE OF DEATH' PREVIEW! [SECRET CAST MEMBERS, HUGE PLOT TWISTS + NEWS!] 

(Here's a theory, not heard anywhere) 26th December 2004 was a SUNDAY and is the RUBY (40th anniversary) since Susan's last appearance (26th December 1964). Ruby was born two days earlier and left at Church at that same Christmas 2004 (Probably for the sake of the story as Christmas Eve is much more interesting than Boxing Day lol). Since the Christmas episode itself was about Fate > Coincidence I would say this could be a hidden clue/foreshadowment from Russell that Ruby is either Susan or her daughter. Would be typical Russell also.

It's like I always tell my daughter: "If you ever release an ageless evil into the world, make sure you're the key to stopping it".

"Dogs and cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA!"

I personally think Rory is actually The Master

Considering what RTD said about Mrs Flood being a "slow-burn mystery", I believe that's gonna be the strand that leads to the next series.

Darling, ‘Sian’ is pronounced ‘Sharn’ not ‘See-Ann’. In the words of Gwen Cooper - I’m Welsh.

An ageless enemy? They got Paul Rudd???

I'm so glad you have this channel as almost a safe place to enjoy Doctor Who. Facebook DW pages are just filled with so many negative people that it's nice to have this supportive community channel

Sian Clifford is too big a name in the acting word to simply be 'Kind Woman'. She's certainly got a Time Lord-ey type presence about her... I've never been more intrigued by a finale in years!

9:40 nahhh I think Harriet jones is coming back 😂

4th wall breaking with the Writer, Russell T himself as a cast.

"Sutekh, Omega, the Trickster, the Nightmare Man...." ...the _TRUE_ Master of the Land of Fiction? 'The one who waits?' That's me down at the DMV.

Kind woman, olive woman (Lazarus), mysterious man (Lazarus), woman in doorway (turn left), rtd is known for his side characters having weird names

It would be funny if Russell made a cameo as a writer character.

It’s Jim the Fish Also some nerd might know the quote from Ghostbusters 2 … Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!

Oh, the actress who plays Kind Woman was really good in Fleabag (I just connected it was the same person) and I wouldn't expect them to play a minor nameless character.

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"? Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff. Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly. Dr. Raymond Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave! Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA! Mayor: All right, all right! I get the point! -Ghostbusters, 1984

Why has nobody mentioned HECUBA the sister of the toymaker? In The Queen of Time " it mentions "Somewhere outside our universe, she is waiting. A God like immortal, living in a realm of clocks. The hours tick slowly by as she plots and plans. She is readying her trap. A trap for a very special man in a very special police box. Hecuba has all the time in the world. But for the Doctor time is running out". That covers both the one who waits and the ageless enemy.

“Shadow falling over creation” That reminds me of the the Oods warning of the Master and the Time Lords returning in the End of Time.

I am going to the cinema to watch it. I can't wait

Usually I wait until the next morning to watch Doctor Who because I’m always so tired at midnight, I’ll have to stay up so I can watch it the very second it drops on iPlayer

So psyched for this episode!

Sian Clifford looks a lot like the woman who took ruby to the church. She was "kind" to take baby ruby from the TARDIS to the church so the doctor wouldn't cross his time line.

Looking at the actress playing Kind Woman, Sian Clifford, she looks significantly like an older Susan whilst still being younger then current Carole Ann Ford - perhaps we will see her in two stages of her life, an older then the original version who is kind woman and then a cliff-hanger or ended that shows an older kind woman played by Carole Ann Ford, revealing her identity. Just had to say, incase it happens

I am going to see Empire of Death in the cinema & now I’m more excited than ever!

The ageless ennemi must be the abzorbaloff, mustn't it?

I'm going to see it in the cinema! Can't wait :D

"Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!

You’re gonna have to do another video! Another preview has dropped that reveals a bit more.

I'm excited by your excitement, and I was already excited enough. Let's gooo

Well done getting Harriet Harbinger ! Very cool 👌🏻

"One Woman" 🤔.. Im going with the Girl-Power theme we got when Rose and her daughter combined powers in the Christmas special..---i wonder if the various female characters combine as one using some ancient Magic to save the world... ONE Woman doesn't necessary mean One Ind character..

Five minutes? That is ages. Bring me knitting!

Might just be me but Sian Clifford looks very similar to Carole Ann Ford in her younger years 😳 I think we’re getting a Susan cameo!

I've been watching all the eps suggested (except Spearhead which I can't find on streaming in Australia). Is The Doctor going to gather all his allies again? Could the Kind Woman be River? The Headless Monks wear robes. Is the reintroduction of Richard E Grant a reminder of The Great Intelligence...

Big Bad of Season 1: "I am inevitable." The Doctor: "Yeah? Well, I AM Iron Ma. . . The Doctor!" (snaps fingers)

I,ve heard that the Daleks might be in it.

Where can I find the publication with the spoilers idc I want to know

Sian Clifford is a well known actress and Producer. she was Fleabags sister in Fleabag and has been in His Dark Materials on the BBC. She has a similar 'look' to Susan. Dark hair, dark eyes. They wouldn't 'waste' someone of her calibre on 'Kindly Woman'

Mrs Flood HAS been waiting since episode one.

Interesting that the Radio Times cover has a trio (triad!?) of Doctor's on the cover. Pink, turquoise and puple tones in the middle. On the Saturday there is a similar picture of Ruby. Probably a stretch but could be a piece of the jigsaw...

I still can’t believe Russell T Davies did that to Angela Wynter. I mean … CHERRY Sunday … ?

I think Harriet’s actress looks to be a Unit member in the new scenes released. Kind woman’s actress looks like they could be playing an older susan buuut she could prob regenerate so who knows

"CATS AND DOGS LIVING TOGETHER!" That's the Ghost Busters Quote

Looking at the cast list, i'm more curious about that mysterious 'Role' who's played by Mr Contributor

Wish they did this in the usa

My theory is ruby is Sarah jane smith and sean pertwee is playing the third doctor and i hope .y theory come true 🎉

Okay wait, I've been a bit worried about the finale, can someone point me to the leaks so I have time to prepare like I did with the timeless children?😭😭

the new trailor on dr who twitter page, we've all been baited lol

I have a theory it is either Hecuba or Zagreus as the ageless enemy and Mrs Flood is a Proto Time-Lord created from River Songs DNA by Madame Kovarian during a Good Man Goes To War in TARDIS Fandom the offshoots stated that she created a races of Timelord Offspring with the ability to regenerate (all with types of water bodies in their names). Also, the kind woman could be Clara Oswald who was splintered and (continues to be ) across the doctor's time, and took the identity of many different people to try and save each incarnation - She also gave Amy the message to give to him "Run you clever boy and remember" when she was an old woman at Lake Eire

Just wondering about Susan Twist doing a Bad Wolf Rose Tyler thing....

Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria. (the quote from Ghostbusters)

I've stopped believing that Susan Foreman will have anything to do with this series. The increasing emphasis on Susan Twist makes the idea of a literal "Susan twist" seem kind of obvious and laboured now. I think Rusty has something more subtle in mind, and I have a feeling Mrs Flood will wind up being the more important character somehow.

Oh my god, that new preview just ruined so many theories😂😂

Hell yes I’m watching the episodes in the Cinema. My family are skipping this week to get the full feel in the theatre but you bet your ass I’m not waiting another week

7:34 oh damn, spot on dude!! Harriet Arbinger was correct! I guess we'll have to watch out for characters that begin with H and don't have a surname haha

the one woman to save the day is of course Cherry Sunday

I want spoilers, I love them.

I’m highly Certain it’s Sutekh or The Trickster I’m probably leaning more towards the trickster

I've had a theory. What is it what ever is waiting on the planet midnight. He's been waiting in the dark and the diamons.

Not sure about 'Kind Woman' being Susan F, but Sian Clifford is well enough known (from Fleabag) just to be playing 'Kind Woman'. So I do agree that this is likely hiding the character's real identity

Friday June 14th 2:35 p.m. Eastern. I'm calling it right now. It's Thanos

My prediction. The one who waits is the valeyard, waiting for 15th to regenerate into him . I reckon Richard e grant plays him

I'm going to the cinema in my pyjamas. I can't wait.

When the doctor comes to our universe I bet rtd gonna be a character

I've been thinking for the last week or so that the Trickster's going to trap the Doctor and Ruby in an alternate timeline and that's how the season will end with the Doctor on the back-foot, losing like Infinity War. Both season 1 and 2 were filmed as a block similar to those Avengers movies so it would be the perfect opportunity to do something like that, Russel did say he wanted Doctor Who to be more like the MCU's heights. RTD saying one plot point that stares you in the face will cross between the seasons only heightens this. The only problem is Joy to the World, how would it work with a Christmas special sandwiched in between such a cliff-hanger? Perhaps the Doctor is phasing in and out between realities and he meets Nicola Coughan's character, this would explain Ruby's absence from the special.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but after rewatching the 4 stories that RTD suggested to be viewed before The Legend of Ruby Sunday I have a feeling that we might see Richard E. Grant again as the Shalka Doctor.

Omg. Sian is pronounced SHARN. FML.

I definitely think Sian Clifford is playing an adult Susan, who we will see grow into Mrs Flood. She's been watching over Ruby.

The meep's boss, the one who waits, the mystery hand, the tardis groan, Susan twist/triad, Mrs. Flood, ruby's story. A lot of loose threads to tie up in 2 episodes

I persoanlly think its Omega as the 3rd doctor got named in the symposis and Susan Twist travelling through time make sense as Omega was suppose to discovered Time Travel for the Timelords. Plus Omega wouldnt age as hes just matter now (If they are following on from the arc of infinity) but a thing what the doctor said about Gallifrey to Rogue "One day i"ll take you to my planet" wasnt gallifrey destroyed in the timeless child story? Its just a wasteland now. Doubt he'll visit a place whats destroyed. Either its bad writing or something more to it. Same as The Doctor asking what time runy comes from. Again either bad writing or something else? Is someone messing with TIME?

The big bad is Sutekh

I keep telling you all the " one who waits" is definitely the Absorbaloff he will be waiting for ever Ant p

I hope they air both episodes on bbc Iplayer tomorrow bc I really don't want to wait or have to deal with a cliff hanger for another week.

It’s me, surprise!

Is it a coincidence that there are three mystery women, Ruby, Mrs. Flood and Susan Twists character and the word Triad being used?

This is straight from the Pyramid of Mars.. Sutekhs main desire is to destroy all life- The Doctor Showed Sarah How 1984 would look if they left Sutekh Alone- Earth in that future is a Desolate barren Planet.Osirons Live a Very Long Time but Sutekh is Trapped in the Time Corridor sooo?

The Triad was a Trilogic Game in The Toymaker

Are you sure that writer isn't part of the cast list?

When you're peckish you need a kind woman with a small roll.

The big bad villain is the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man! 😂

where can i find this spoiler review

I’m going to see it in the cinema I am so so hyped🙏

Russell tells us everything will be answered, also Russell refusing to tell us what old ruby was saying in 73 yards

The 1% is we dont find out who Mrs flood is

Triad = Three who rule = State of Decay = Ancient enemy of the timelords the great one (Great vampire) 🦇 So tales of the tardis may well be Tom Baker from looking back at his time in E-Space.

See Ann 😂😂😂😂 It's pronounced Sharne (Sian). It's a Welsh name. Probably a local actress to Cardiff.

Am I the only one in the world who thinks it could be Susan... Yknow the Doctors granddaughter... He said he'd come back but never has..... Edit: watched the full video, apparently im not the only one 😂

Triad means 3 right?, 3 big bads vs the doctor...?, maybe...if so who are the 3😮

Its not typical fan complaining about episodes being short when they have also shortened the season by half. Like, if we only get 8 eps there is no reason all 8 shouldnt an hour long. Especially after getting disney money.

Given that the series leans heavily on current social issues, the question is what other issues were prominent in 2022/23 when the plots were taking shape...? We'd just had Covid, and Russia was invading➡ Will this feed into the mysteries of the female characters.? We already saw the concept of Contamination in Dot & Bubble.. Could Ruby have been a banished carrier of a weird planet busting power.? Or was she the only survivor of a war/plague.? Is she engineered as the ultimate "innoculation" .? Do we know which months the story lines were being put together.?

1:04 48 hours until Empire of Death airs?

Sian Clifford contains C A FORD

1 Million bucks it’s River Song 👀 I’m only 5mins in lol lemme finish watching 😂

Mrs Flood for Season 2?

I can't get to the movie theater because I have no car. Will it be on TV as well at some point? Otherwise some of us will never see the end 😢

The publication is "Doctor Who Production News". There is a minor spoiler on their main page on Twitter/ X but still.

I'm going to see it in the finale in the Odeon in Cardiff Bay.

0:42 I found it on twitter and it's literally just the legend of ruby Sunday and barely says anything about the actual episode and it's the same picture that's blurred right here

I unfortunately know everything in the spoilery article from word of mouth :'D Because of what they said and especially what they didn't say, I'm pretty sure I already know who the villain of the season is, unfortunately
