Prequel to Asylum of the Daleks

Someone uploaded Prequel to Asylum of the Daleks to YouTube. Watch it here, otherwise you'll have to buy season access on Amazon or iTunes.


Question is, why doesn't he want to say the word "Skaro"?

Places I Would Like to Visit on Doctor Who

Inspired by The Destinations of Doctor Who (aired last night, available on iTunes), here is a list of places I would like the Doctor to visit in the future.

• the Library
• Mondas (I forget if it was destroyed or not)
• Satellite Five
• Venus before it melted (there was a civilization there at one point, because the Doctor knows a Venusian lullaby)
• Sontar (we've never actually been there except in an audio adventure)
• the Third Reich (I want to see Nazis vs. Daleks)
• Gallifrey (going there in its ancient history during the days of Rassilon and Omega would be cool)
• 1770s America (no sci-fi, purely historical)
• Skaro (I think we're going there in Asylum)
• an alternate universe where Britain never lost its empire but everyone else did

Please feel free to add your ideas in the comments below!

Theory for New Companion

Moffat is not telling us the name of the new companion, which probably means she's a returning character. If she's being played by a new actor, then she must be a Time Lady who's regenerated. The only Time Ladies we've met are Susan, Romana, and Jenny (who doesn't have proper regenerative capabilities). If it's Romana or Susan, they might have been hiding in the TARDIS' cryogenic chamber (Moffat did say she'd be in the last place the Doctor would ever suspect, which could be his own TARDIS). After being in there for two centuries, her brain might have been addled and she'd be unable to remember how she got there. If the new companion was Jenny, she could have undergone a proper regeneration later on. She then could have been captured by the Daleks and held for interrogation on Skaro (the Doctor wouldn't expect to find a friend there, would he?). The Doctor would then have to come rescue her. Her interrogation by the Daleks could have damaged her brain, leading her to forget how she first came to be captured. The only problem with the Jenny theory (other than suddenly being able to regenerate properly) is that it doesn't seem very Christmas-y. Then again, all the Christmas specials whose plots haven't been copied from a book haven't been very Christmas-y.
