There is no showrunner in the universe (or the Whoniverse) who delights more in teasing fans than Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies. His favorite place to ignite fans’ wild speculations as of late is the BBC’s official Doctor Who Magazine (DWM).

From splashy trailers for episode titles to social media rollouts for guest star announcements (Jinkx Monsoon and Jonathan Groff and Indira Varma, oh my!), Davies knows how to get his fans’ attention. The latest issue of the magazine had more exciting tidbits than ever, from both Davies and script editor Scott Handcock.

Though the show’s 60th anniversary specials are yet to air, Davies is already dropping hints about the regular season that will follow the specials, Season 14. Not a millisecond of footage from the season has been seen, but that hasn’t stopped fans from eating up every crumb Davies has to offer. Most recently, he revealed that the script for the Season 14 finale, Episode 8, will contain the words “kingdom,” “gold,” and “Tigella.” All this for an episode that, Davies confirmed in DWM, has not even been shot yet.
