There are going to be some "controversial events".
Russell T Davies, showrunner of Doctor Who, has made quite the revelation about the final 60th anniversary special, The Giggle.
The final special will see one of the Doctor's oldest enemies, The Toymaker, return – this time brought to life by Neil Patrick Harris. It will also finally introduce us to Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor and see out David Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor and Catherine Tate's Donna Noble.
However, something about the episode is going to be very different, as Davies teased to Doctor Who Magazine, saying: "There will be controversial events in this episode.
"If you listen and watch the [in-vision] commentary on the iPlayer, I unroll a whole new Doctor Who mythology for you, based around the events taking place. And I'm explaining this to David Tennant and his mind is exploding.
"That commentary will have absolutely exclusive information that will rock the world. I hope you'll all find it fascinating. It's a whole new way of looking at the history of Doctor Who and I can't wait to see the reaction."
Naturally fans are curious as to what that could mean, with some speculating that the "mythology" change could refer to something different happening with the regeneration.
After The Giggle, we'll have plenty more Doctor Who to look forward to, with Gatwa starring alongside Millie Gibson in the Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road.
The special will delve into fantasy, featuring a host of goblins, and we'll also find out more about Ruby's backstory.
