Some more 'hints and teasers' for 'The Ghost Monument'
  • Oh, yeah, Chris Chibnall really, really lied about that thing.
Returning monsters? Time travelling companions (Missy, River Song)? Pasternoster Gang?
  • “Bad Wolf,” “Torchwood,” “Vote Saxon,” “cracks in the universe,” “Silence will fall,” “the Impossible Girl,” “the Hybrid” . . . “the *******s **i**”
OK - looks like there will be some kind of story arc introduced in this story

Needless to say, I'm not going to know anything until it's posted here*, or I finally get the DVD release!

* NOTE - I'm really not bothered about spoilers being posted here after the fact. Even if this thread remains spoiler free, I won't be able to avoid them on other internet pages

I know what the spoiler was you originally posted, Susan.

I won't say what it is but will just say it's something that has been in practically every story since Nov 23rd 1963. So in truth it's not much of a spoiler really.

This is purely speculation but it will be interesting if it turns out to be true.

The Stenza will be recurring villains and a race from a Colin Baker story will also feature in this series but nobody except fans will remember them so the majority will think them a new race.
