No, there\u2019s not a lot of twists or anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Exactly what the Sontarans will get up to in the finale is still top-secret, as are details of the episode more generally. But Watson said he thought viewers would be satisfied with how <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-final-episode-title-flux-newsupdate\/&quot;\">The Vanquishers<\/a> ties things up, especially if they\u2019ve been enjoying the story thus far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the response has been so positive with this series, I think they will love the way that it finishes
