The Daily Star published today that three alternate endings were filmed for the finale on Saturday to try to hide the real outcome. We’re not certain if any of these seem plausible but just in case, spoiler warnings!
1. Martha teams up with a resistance army and defeats The Master - only to be abducted by aliens
2. The time travellers beat The Master but he booby-traps the TARDIS and as they prepare to leave Earth there is a huge explosion inside - leaving fans wondering whether they survive
3. The Doctor is mortally wounded and has to regenerate again
But honestly, as kind as the Daily Star has been towards Freema so far, these just seem like vague speculation based on the events in The Sound of Drums and the trailer. Perhaps the concept of three alternatives is true in itself though.
Added: Possible Christmas Special spoiler spotted!
In an interview with TV & Satellite Week, Russell T. Davies may have given away a little insight into what big baddie Martha Jones will meet in the Christmas Special…
Will any old foes return to battle the Doctor in the next series?
RTD: One or two. We like to spread the balance between new monsters and the classics from the past. So yes, there are one or two revamps being discussed right now. Keep your eyes peeled over the coming months, because a few of them will be marching through the streets of Cardiff, I expect.
There’s only old monster that marches and that would be Cybermen!
Of course the Judoon seem to march too, so you never know…
Yeah, I’m going to take this with a small grain of salt. Meaning, I won’t believe anything until I see it played out myself.
I would say number three is out of the question because hasnt DT signed up for season 4.
Number one sounds like what the sun is hoping to happen to Martha
Number two seems possible because there was a shot of the inside of the TARDIS going up.
However there was a scene shot outside where Torchwood three is and that the actual ending
Well, I think it’s plausible that they did film 3 different endings. I think 1 and 2 are plausible. But I’m pretty sure David Tennant is still going to be in season 4.
I’m not fond of any of the above mentioned choices, though number two is probably the best pill for me to swallow - what a way for the Master to have the last laugh, after his glorious defeat. Now that would be a cliffhanger to warm the bones for the upcoming Christmas special. But for now, I’m prepared for the unexpected.
It might we be worth thinking that the title could be a red herring, although it is official.
1 or 2 seem likley, but I’d imagine that the Master will get away as he did in the 70’s and will be back (hopefully) next year.
Also Steve, remember Utopia was filmed at the begining outside Torchwood, Cardiff and the pictures we saw were from the filming and have nothing to do with Last of the Time Lords.
wat eva happens i hope it dnt end on like a cliffhanger like not noin if they all alive or dead cause i dnt fink i could wait another year to find out lol x
I shall not pass judgement….yet.
I think we should just wait, but it is nice to speculate!
Don’t worry Jack, they would have known a long time before now whether David Tennant was leaving because they would need to spend time looking for someone to fill the role. It couldn’t be just a one in three chance of him leaving. I bet they would take ages finding a new Doctor.
And because they said that, i doubt the others are true either. But with everybody guessing, surely SOMEONE will guess something right!
