Davies previously hinted at what's to come in the second episode, and suggested that "it's kind of scary".
Speaking at a Q&A following a screening of The Star Beast, Davies said: "The next one is called Wild Blue Yonder, where the TARDIS goes further than ever before – and it's weird, the next one, it's kind of scary."
"It's not super scary, it's just weird," he continued. It's genuinely weird, it's really nice – that stretched the whole design team as to how to make it and how to get this stuff on screen.
