Toby Jones as The Dream Lord

• The 'Dream Lord' is rumoured to pretend to be the Doctor because of a shot of him inside the TARDIS wearing the Eleventh Doctor's costume in the trailer. He wasn't pretending to be the Doctor, he was the Doctor or to be more specific, his dark side.
• It is rumoured that either the Ha'rik, the Timoreen or the Skarkish will appear. This was proven true as the Ha'rik appeared.
• Aunt Sharon will appear. This was false
