Doctor Who Season 2 (Series 15) Predictions

Who's excited? I know I am! It is time to make some predictions for series 2 (or 15) of Doctor Who - Ncuti Gatwa's second series. One prediction I can confidently make right now, Ncuti is going to smash it, I have very, very high hopes for this TARDIS team.

So let's have a go...

The Robot Revolution: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Peter Hoar

I know trailers can be deceiving, but from what we have seen it does seem to be shifting to a slightly darker tone this series. I hope so - every Doctor needs shit to get real. So before I make a prediction, I will make a wish - please don't be too bloody silly! I love that Doctor Who is silly, I don't love talking babies though.

We are going to have to meet a new companion, and this is making me think Belinda isn't from our time, or maybe even our planet. Could she be from an alien world or the future, or both for that matter. Scrap that, I have just seen another trailer, Belinda appears to be from Earth.

Anyway, perhaps this episode will be along the Detroit: Become Human vibe - robots gaining a soul and rebelling - just slightly less gritty than the game and a little more cheesy.

Lux: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Amanda Brotchie

I have actually realised I have hardly any knowledge of this series other than the couple of trailers and episode names. Just going by the title reveal, I am guessing this is when Ncuti dons his bowler hat. Also going by the reveal this is the episode featuring Mr. Ring-a-Ding. This does seem to follow last series, a set up episode, a mysterious companion to solve, then a more experimental bonkers episode after.

I have no idea how this will play out. None what so ever! People being turned into cartoons? Kind of like the wire or the wi-fi in The Idiot's Lantern and The Bells of Saint John? I have no clue, and I love it!!

It looks like it is going to be a banger episode though - I have very high hopes for this one.

The Well: Written by Russell T Davies & Sharma Angel Walfall, directed by Amanda Brotchie

This has the look of a base under siege episode.

I cannot place a monster in this, so I am going to gamble by guessing it is the Daleks. The well is actually on Skaro and the Daleks are coming. A base under siege isn't the MO of this version of Doctor Who, that seems to boring and safe, a base under siege with a Dalek twist then.

Lucky Day: Written by Pete McTighe, directed by Peter Hoar

I do worry about UNIT, they are a bit bland. They do not excite me. That said, Ruby is in this one so it isn't the end of the world. By the small newspaper clipping it seems UNIT are keeping aliens, and I assume, as is always the case with UNIT, they fuck it up. A few pointless cameos later and the Doctor and Belinda swoop in to save the day.

That is very negative of me I know. If this is the episode with the guy and Ruby with the hand creeping up on his back, well that looked good, so who knows, perhaps we are in for a horror treat. My favourite kind of Doctor Who.

The Story & the Engine: Written by Inua Ellams, directed by Makalla McPherson

This is an interesting name! It has given me no clue as to what will happen, but I am very, very intrigued. A hairdressers and a spider seem to be the clues for this, so I think we have seen a giant spider, but I have no idea how that would be related to a hairdressers.

My prediction is someone makes mechanical monsters, a mechanical spider, maybe some of the other aliens we have seen. The dinosaur skeleton perhaps (although I think this will be in the finale).

The Interstellar Song Contest: Written by Juno Dawson, directed by Ben A. Williams

I was really hoping to get Juno's episode early, I'm even more excited for it now I know they are writing the Song Contest one. I wonder if we will be surprised, expecting camp, but getting an emotional journey for the Doctor and Belinda. I still expect some camp though.

Will Rylan make it out alive? Are we looking at a Rylan hologram?

Again, I have no idea what will happen. Could there be a surprise reappearance of Maestro perhaps? That would be fun wouldn't it. I am going to say that - Maestro returns, causes carnage, Murray Gold writes a banger Eurovision song, Maestro is defeated and the Doctor and Belinda enter on behalf of someone who was killed along the way.

Wish World: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Alex Sanjiv Pillai

A big focus on the clock hands whizzing round. Will the finale be two parts? Will this be a standalone episode? RTD loves a cliffhanger, I know there will be a good one, I just have no idea what. I am assuming Mrs. Flood will play a part, who will she end up being? Will she be a Time Lord? A God? Something else? If she is a God, she got pretty done over by Sutekh, so I am going to say Time Lord.

The fact that these two series were filmed together makes me think that the previous series may be way more important than it previously has. The links will be big to series 1/14. Could Mrs. Flood be Ruby?

This actually episode, well my guess would be the Doctor cannot get Belinda home, in a final throw of the dice he takes her to Wish World and hopes they can get back by wishing. Obviously things fuck up and the shit hits the fan, secrets are revealed, Belinda is not who we thought she was, Mrs. Flood reveals a big plan, and everything and everyone is up shit creek without a sonic!

The Reality War: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Alex Sanjiv Pillai

UNIT getting in the way again no doubt! However, the scene with Mel and the houses disappearing looks amazing. Reality is going to go very wibbly-wobbly, will it be Mrs. Flood? Will reality fuck up and all sorts of monsters are let loose? Dinosaur skeletons, Daleks, Cybermen, a pantheon of Gods, RTD throwing absolutely everything at the screen? I hope so!

I cannot wait to find out! One final prediction, I think I am going to enjoy Lux, The Interstellar Song Contest and Wish World the most. What are you looking forward to most? We have under three weeks to go! Hurry up Doctor!!
