Excitement for the new season of Doctor Who<\/a> only continues to notch up the closer we get to the much-anticipated opening episodes, but we now have further word on what state the finale will leave us all in.<\/p>\n

At the Doctor Who season 14<\/a> premiere, the sci-fi stars descended onto the blue carpet in full force, with some of the names of the series revealing more details about what Whovians can expect.<\/p>\n

Showrunner Russell T Davies chatted to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the new season of Doctor Who, including the final episode.<\/p>\n

So, what can we expect from that grand finale?<\/p>\n

Well, Davies said: \u201cI have to say, we are dropping these episodes at midnight, and if ever you\u2019re going to stay up until midnight with a bottle of cider or a box of chocolates and sit there and watch Doctor Who, I would recommend it for that one \u2013 because you will be screaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cTry to stay unspoilt, because it\u2019s so hard to be unspoilt with things. Try, try, try, and you will have a whale of a time with that one.\u201d<\/p>\n

While it may be a little way off, the final episode is set to be the \u201cmost devastating\u201d of the new era, and could quite possibly be the biggest yet.<\/p>\n

Speaking in this month\u2019s issue of\u00a0SFX<\/a>, Davies said 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 referred to it as \u201cliterally, the biggest finale ever\u201d, and said: \u201cThere\u2019s some shots of that in the trailers coming up. Oh my god, you\u2019re gonna die.\u201d<\/p>

The new season premieres on Saturday 11th May, with the first two episodes being released at once, and debuts on BBC iPlayer at midnight \u2013 giving fans all around the world the chance to watch episodes at the same time.<\/p>\n

The change in scheduling has certainly divided viewers, but Davies has since acknowledged the backlash, speaking about the \u201cfuture\u201d of television that includes the growing popularity of streaming services like Disney Plus<\/a>, where Doctor Who will be released internationally.<\/p>\n
