Beyond that, not much is known about the episode – in fact, returning showrunner/writer Russell T Davies told Entertainment Weekly that “we’re trying to keep it secret until transmission.” He also teased that “it’s set far away from Earth. It’s a bit weird, it’s scary, it’s freaky, it pushes the show into areas it’s never quite been into before.”
