After The Legend of Ruby Sunday ended things on a shocking cliffhanger<\/a>, the week-long wait for a new episode of Doctor Who<\/a> is going to feel longer than ever.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, we\u2019ve just got some new images to help tide fans over, which are sure to set minds racing and theories swirling as to what the season finale, Empire of Death<\/a>, will entail.<\/p>\n

One of the images is of the mysterious Mrs Flood<\/a>, with Anita Dobson\u2019s character sat next to Angela Wynter\u2019s Cherry Sunday, who is in bed. After Mrs Flood\u2019s dark turn in this week\u2019s episode, is Cherry in danger?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another picture sees the Doctor and Ruby looking ready for what\u2019s ahead of them, while a third sees Ruby holding her hand up to what looks like the cracked glass inside the time window.<\/p>\n

Another shot sees the return of the snow which has frequently appeared around Ruby, with Millie Gibson\u2019s companion struggling to see through a storm of it.<\/p>\n

The synopsis<\/a> for Empire of Death says: \u201cThe Doctor has lost, his ageless enemy reigns supreme, and a shadow is falling over creation. Nothing can stop the devastation\u2026 except, perhaps, one woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Showrunner Russell T Davies has previously teased that Empire of Death will be the \u201cmost devastating finale\u201d<\/a> in the show\u2019s history, as well as the \u201cbiggest finale ever\u201d.<\/p>\n

The finale will be followed by a Christmas special later this year, which will be called Joy to the World<\/a>, guest starring Nicola Coughlan and written by Steven Moffat.<\/p>\n
