If all of that isn't enough to get Whovians excited, the official account announced the name of the third episode - Once, Upon Time.

This has united fans and sparked many fan theories to come forward.

One theorist on Twitter said: "This makes me think that the Flux is happening all throughout history at once y'know cause its not "Once Upon A time" its "Once Upon Time". the removal of A changes the meaning entirely."

Bouncing back and forth between each other, another theory suggests that we could be going back to the beginning: "WAIT could this be about her past life????!"

On the show's , the episode reads: "Time is beginning to run wild". On a planet that shouldn't exist, in the aftermath of apocalypse, the Doctor, Dan, Yaz and Vinder face a battle to survive.

Find out who else is joining the Doctor this season as several new cast members have been revealed.
