New details have been revealed about Series 9 of Doctor Who after a midnight release of information that was embargoed by Blogtor Who. And it is fair to say what has been revealed to us gives the upcoming series a fresh and unique feel, which is sure to get Whovians more excited for the twelve episode run than before.

Despite the release of the information being pushed back 24 hours from midnight Tuesday, which also included an interview with Ingrid Oliver and Peter Capaldi on the set of the Episodes 7 and 8. The information that was revealed was definitely worth the wait after it hit the internet at midnight today.

First up in the interview, we learnt that the Zygon two-parter, which is written by Peter Harness is to be called Invasion of the Zygons and Inversion of the Zygons, two very Classic Who sounding titles. We also learnt that the two-parter takes place in Mexico, as well as London and that it serves and was pitched as a sequel to the fiftieth anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor.

In the interview, we also learnt that as well as some single parters and two-parters, there will also be some three part episodes in Series 9, with Capaldi saying “Some of them are three-parters. And there’s one parters. It’s a good development, it allows the writers a bit more time with their characters and story.”

When also asked about the possibility of the returning Osgood, who was killed by Missy in last year’s finale becoming a companion, Capaldi simply replied “She could well be…”.

And the information doesn’t stop there, oh-no. A whole lot more was revealed to us about every episode in this series that we did not previously know, mostly notably what is to come in the last four episodes of the series.

Probably the most exciting bit of information to learn was that Episode 11 is all about Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. Described in the industry as a ‘one hander’, the penultimate episode of the series will have no Clara Oswald or guest cast. The episode will revolve only around Capaldi for the whole 45 minutes. This is a first for Doctor Who.

We also learnt that Episode 9 will feature a Doctor Who first. A quote from The Daily Star said “A special story will feature only old phone and camcorder footage showing the Time Lord’s followers filming their attempts to fight a monster.” The episode was said to be a special one by guest star Reece Shearsmith, who’s role in the episode is yet to be announced.

Episode 10 is also set to feature a story about the ‘invasion of invisible streets’. Moffat expressed great delight at this concept in the latest SFX Magazine, and said that he thinks that the episode will be one that people will want to rewatch for a while afterwards.

Also according to The Daily Star, the Judoon and the Hath from The Doctor’s Daughter are set to make a brief cameo.

Amongst all the Davros rumours, The Magician’s Apprentice and The Witch’s Familiar is also set to feature ‘a snake made of other snakes’. For a full read of the new interviews, head to Blogtor Who.
