Episode 911 – Heaven Sent

The Doctor finds himself in a deserted castle. But mysterious clues lead him to believe something bigger is at stake.

Emerging from a transport tube, The Doctor finds himself alone in a mysterious castle. He believes that he was sent there by the people responsible for Clara’s death. And he immediately vows to take out his revenge. All the while, he is hunted by a ghostlike figure who can kill The Doctor if The Doctor doesn’t constantly stay one step ahead of the wraith.

What follows is The Doctor’s exploration of not only the castle, but the broader mysteries of why he has been imprisoned, what these seemingly random clues are, and most importantly, how to escape.

Episode 910: Face The Raven

The Doctor is tricked onto a hidden street where aliens live in peace away from humans. There, a meeting with an old friend brings mystery, and another “friend” brings extreme danger.

Rigsy contacts the Doctor and Clara and shows them a number tattoo counting down on his neck. Their investigation leads to a hidden street in London where many aliens live in harmony. But this harmony comes at a price – criminals are marked by a Chronolock, the countdown tattoo, and when the clock reaches zero, a raven arrives to end their life.

The Doctor and Clara work against time to say Rigsy who doesn’t know what he’s done. Complicating the issue is the street’s mayor – Me. And she has a hidden agenda far more dangerous than taking one innocent man’s life.
