Is the answer to Doctor Who‘s fifty years-in-the-making question actually finally upon us? According to the season finale poster art released to the Radio Times, we may finally learn the Doctor’s biggest secret: his actual Gallifreyan name.
“There’s going to be a revelation. I’m not teasing. I’m not wrong-footing you – you’re about to learn something about the Doctor that you never knew before. And I think you’re in for a shock,” said Who show runner Steven Moffat.
According to DoctorWhoTV, here is the episode’s short synopsis:
“Someone is kidnapping the Doctor’s friends, leading him towards the one place in all of time and space that he should never go.”
The eighth and final episode for Series Seven will be the last we see of the Doctor until the 50th Anniversary Special, which is currently shooting, and will be broadcast on November 23rd. Also of obvious note from this poster, Alex Kingston is set to return as River Song.
BBC America also unveiled the poster art and synopses for the next three episodes set to air after tonight’s Hide.
