While fans right now are just excited to watch the new season of Doctor Who<\/a>, with the first two episodes, Space Babies and The Devil\u2019s Chord, being released at once in May, there is always something tantalising about a finale.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s finale, which is called Empire of Death, will air on 22nd June, and showrunner Russell T Davies has teased that it really is one to look out for.<\/p>\n

Speaking in this month\u2019s issue of SFX<\/a>, Davies said that every episode in the new season \u201cstands on its own\u201d, but added that there will be a \u201crunning theme and running story that\u2019s going to build and build and build to \u2018The Most Devastating Finale’\u201d.<\/p>\n

Davies went on to call it \u201cliterally, the biggest finale ever\u201d, and added: \u201cThere\u2019s some shots of that in the trailers coming up. Oh my god, you\u2019re gonna die.\u201d<\/p>\n

This season structure sounds like it could follow those of previous seasons written by Davies, where a larger storyline, such as the Bad Wolf mystery in season 1 or the Harold Saxon narrative, is seeded with references throughout otherwise unrelated episodes, until these all come together with some big reveals either just before or in the season finale.<\/p>\n
