Rumours

• Rumored to be set during World War II, supposedly Winston Churchill is using camouflaged Daleks against the Nazi's.
• There maybe a dogfight between a Dalek or Dalek Saucer against a Spitfire (A WW2 Plane was seen entering the studios though it has not been confirmed if this was indeed a Spitfire). But in the brand new trailer, it shows a group of Spitfires being attacked by a Dalek Saucer.
• Adolf Hitler is rumoured to make a brief appearance.
• There will be many types of different Daleks. Two have been seen already seen. A white/grey Dalek with new eyestalk and a khaki coloured Dalek with utility belt and a Union Flag where the normal Dalek ID is below the eyestalk.
• Steven Moffat stated in a TalkTalk interviw, that half-an-hour through this episode, you will have a 'revelation' and will have to watch the episode again to understand.

Continuity

• In a leaked audio clip, the Doctor mentions sending the Daleks back into the Void and saving the whole of reality from their efforts. (DW: Doomsday, The Stolen Earth/Journey's End)
• Subservient Daleks is also the theme of the Second Doctor adventure. (DW: The Power of the Daleks)
• The Dalek Saucer seen in the dogfight with the Spitfires is the same sort as those from DW: Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways and DW: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End
