Notes
- There are two prequels to this story. The first was called “Clarence & The Whispermen” which directly leads into the plot of the early part of the story. The other is called “She Said, He Said”, which is more esoteric in plot, and seems to take place as visualizations of the thoughts of the Doctor & Clara about each other in their minds.

has the spectacular cliffhanger with John Hurt as "The Doctor", which was a major WTF. In leadup to broadcast, fans were up in arms thinking the show was "naming" the Doctor. pic.twitter.com/myMcC1rlZH
