When the seventh series of Doctor Who began what seems like a very long time ago, Steven Moffat said that he wanted each episode to be a blockbuster. Just so everyone got the message, some movie-style posters were produced for each episode and that has continued for the second half with posters released for the first four stories and the BBC has shared some lovely synopses too.

Director: Colm McCarthy
The Doctor’s search for Clara Oswald brings him to modern day London, where wifi is everywhere. Humanity lives in a wifi soup.

As Clara becomes the target of this insidious menace, the Doctor races to save her and the world from an ancient enemy.
