Naturally, this means that this news article is a SPOILER ZONE. Do not read any of the comments if you haven’t seen the episode and don’t want to know any details about it! We can’t wait to read what you have to say!
Oh, and well done to all of you Carmen’s out there who correctly guessed that number #4 of yesterday’s teasers was the red herring – you saw right through us!

It might be trying to mislead us, I doubt it will be hinting at the Doctor.@TDW
No carmen said “it” not he@Daz
Yeah it will be hinting towards the master, because on the fear factor thing the kids start tapping the masters beat, meaning that would be the obvious, so i think it would be the miidnight entity, cos not everyone would remember that episode
Lee Evans was great!
But why did Nick Cutter from Primeval have to die?
Just so you know, the person who picked up the ring may not have been Lucy Saxon (probably was though), but the hand looked wrinkled and older. Maybe the Evil Time Lord The Rani?
Or maybe Lucy Saxon is the Rani
@GeneralStaal: do you really need to post 4 times? why not just put it all in one post?
Plus this aint a primeval site, why even post that? keep it in topic.
i just forgot to post things, and i decided to write primeval so meh!
anyway why do you find it so annoying?
500 BERNARDS!!!
I would say that the four knocks definitely refers to The Master. I just hope to God that it isn’t Simm’s Master because that would just kill the entire meaning of the series three ending.
Hellooo you’re from Cov and you have an article in your call magazine! My grandma showed me.@Tom Beasley
It does look like it refers to The Master but, come on guys, its Doctor Who, when is anything that simple? I think its trying to mislead us and its something a lot bigger than just one problem :)
I am indeed. Wow. Small world, eh?
Sorry Tom Beasley, but there is a picture taken of John Simm standing beside Bernard Cribbins (Wilfred Mott). it is proven that Bernard Cribbins will be in the last two episodes
Where? Can you give us a link? @Generalstaal
Well actually you can’t see John Simm’s face in that picture. It’s a blurred side-of-his-face view. People say it could be mistaken as another person working on the set.
Sorry I love people from Cov
And I have mates from Woodlands@Tom Beasley
Might sound kind of ignorant but what’s Cov?
Coventry, it’s where I’m from
