Preview: The Doctor's next companion?
This week the Doctor meets an old friend. Or a new friend. Or possibly not a friend at all.
Silence in the Library
The episode - the first of a two-parter - is set in the 51st century on a planet housing the biggest library in the universe. So big, in fact, that the whole planet is a library. However, 100 years ago it was suddenly sealed off and its inhabitants sent out a cryptic warning: "If you want to live, count the shadows."
When the Doctor and Donna arrive on the scene, the entire library is deserted. Using one of his fancy gadgets, the Doctor determines that he and Donna are the only two humanoid life-forms on the planet, but when it comes to general life-forms, there are apparently a million million knocking around.
A new companion?
A few more humanoid life-forms join the party before too long, as a team headed up by Professor River Song (Alex Kingston) arrives to investigate The Library and its moving shadows. Song instantly recognises the Doctor, claiming that they have been to many places together - but the Doctor has no idea what she's talking about.
The blue pill or the red pill?
Meanwhile, somewhere else, a little girl is having visions. There are intruders in her library...
Spoiler Sport
Naturally, the library houses its fair share of books. Being the biggest library in the universe, it has books on every subject imaginable - including detailed accounts of historic events. Events which, for Donna at least, have yet to happen. The Doctor warns her against having a peek, claiming that spoilers are best avoided. The cheek! The Doctor's clearly not a Tube Talk fan.
Who said What?
Here are some select quotes from the episode, with the now-customary stars inserted to keep you wondering.
"The library goes on forever."
"Isn't travelling with you one big spoiler?"
"Run, for God's sake run. ******e is safe."
"4022 *****. No s***i****."
"That was the most horrible thing I've ever seen."
"The **** world is a *** and your ********** are ****."
