Rumours

• This episode marks the return of Captain Jack Harkness, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane Smith and possibly K9
• The Daleks invade UNIT. In the mid series trailer some Daleks were seen with the UNIT logo behind them. There is also a character called General Sanchez who is said to work for UNIT.
• Harriet Jones is either inside a normal Dalek casing or the Red Dalek casing.
• The Eighth-Ninth Doctor Regeneration is explained.
• Gallifrey is restored. This is a possibility as it has been rumoured that RTD wants to erase all he has changed in Doctor Who, ready for when the new producer takes over.
• The Sontarans return and start a war with the Daleks. Two years ago in series 2, Army of Ghosts and Doomsday saw a battle between the Daleks and Cybermen. This may be a pattern.
• According to the sun news paper the Judoon come back to stop the daleks taking over the universe
• The Cult of Skaro will come with the Red Dalek as its leader.
