Some words that appear in the final special are: "The Gate and Naismith", "Partisan", "Carnival", "Beijing", and the phrase "something is coming"

Euros Lyn said he showed the regeneration scene to composer Murray Gold, who bawled like a baby!

John Simm really is coming back, and Timothy Dalton is also guest-starring.

Filming

Apart from the scenes which are given a number, I really have no idea which ones fit into episode 17 or 18... or what order they appear in. I'm just guessing :)

Scene 130

The Filming in Tredegar House seems to be some sort of formal occasion (I've heard wedding quite a few times). Black clad guards in camo gear wander around patrolling the building.

Scene ??

Since there was quite a bit of filming inside the house, we can assume there are some extensive scenes going on there!

The only thing we know about it is that apparently someone inside was "tied to a chair", and that John Simm was seen leaving the set. So some Master trickery going on?

Scene ??

All the guests of the house run outside, screaming in a panic. One of them (who we know is called Joshua) falls to his knees on the grass and looks up at the sky in shock.

The woman who is with him (called Abigail) stands with him for a moment, but when he doesn't respond she also runs away.

These scenes were also caught on film:

More exciting, a giant wind machine was being used to create a flurry of dust and leaves which is apparently simulating a spaceship landing on the lawn.

As you can see in one of the videos, some of the people running out of the house are wearing what looks like white scientist coats - so I wonder whats going on in there!

Scene ??

As well as this there was a short scene filmed inside the stables. People were seen moving hay into the stables but the actual scene was inside. At the end of it the Doctor and Wilf run outside looking anxious.

Scene ??

Back at the Nobles house, Wilf and the Doctor stand outside the TARDIS in the rain. Just before leaving, the Doctor says to Wilf something like "This is not the end, we will meet again."

Wilf asks the Doctor where he's going, but the reply was very quiet, so theres no garuntee of its accuracy. But apparently it sounded like: "I'm off to have my revenge".

The Doctor then leaves in the TARDIS.

Scene 139

A scene was filmed with the neighbors running around in panic, screaming, while Sylvia looks up into the sky.

Here's a video of it courtesy of Ahremsee

The direction from the walkie talkie was "Look into the sky, theres a red ball of flame. Your scared, more scared! Its all gone grey." During this someone shouts "Donna!".

Scene ??

I'm really not sure where this fits into anything, but set reporters heard Donna shouting from inside her house, "Im scared, Im scared!" and screaming.

Scene 147

Once again in the street, there's a big close up on Sylvia. The camera pans down and she's looking half-happy, half-tearful. The extras in the background are now hugging and rejoicing. Whatever the danger was, its obviously been stopped.

Scene 153

Luke is walking along talking on his phone, not looking when he crosses the road. Because of this he almost gets run over but the Doctor appears, grabs him and pushes him back onto the pavement.

In shock, Luke realizes who he is. The Doctor says a few words to Luke and then starts to walk away.

"It's you...!"

Luke runs across the road shouting "Mum! Mum!". Sarah Jane runs out the driveway.

Luke says "Mum, it's him. It's the Doctor" and they both stand and watch the Doctor walk back to the TARDIS.

As he gets to the TARDIS, he turns around and waves at her. In turn she starts crying.

Ahremsee has captured a beautiful video of this moment:

Scene 155

Set in a bookstore, present day earth and an author called Verity Newman is signing her book: A Journal of Impossible Things.

A customer steps up to have his book signed, and its the Doctor. He has a short conversation with Verity, with a sad but stern expression on his face. Then he turns and walks away.

Oh, and guess who's playing Verity?

Jessica Hynes who played Joan Redfern!

We've seen the Journal of Impossible things before as John Smith's diary in Human Nature/Family of Blood. And seeing as how Jessica Heins as the book, we can maybe guess that the book was passed down her family...?

Other scenes

There are some scenes that I simply had no idea where they could belong (ep 17 or 18) so I made a new section for them here.

And remember, I've completely guessed the order of these scenes, except the ones that are numbered, so I could be very very wrong!
