Donna: [grinning] Terrified! I mean, history's one thing, but an alien planet?!?
Doctor: I could always take you home.
Donna: Yeah, don't laugh at me.

Donna: This is barmy! I was born in Chiswick! I've only ever done package holidays. Now I'm here! This is... I mean it's... I dunno, it's all sort of... I don't even know what the word is!
[steps out of the TARDIS, to find a frozen planet]
Donna: Oh, I've got the word. Freezing!
The Doctor: Snow! Ah, real snow. Proper snow at last! That's more like it, lovely! What do you think?
Donna: Bit cold.

The Doctor: The Ood aren't born like this, can't be - a species born to serve could never evolve in the first place. What does the company do to make them obey?

The Doctor: [expression falls] Meaning?

Entry from before the Episode aired

Whayhey! First alien planet for Donna, she must feel so happy that its freezing cold and covered in ice and snow...

Oh, and also full of strange octopus/squid/psychic/alien... things. Yes, the Ood are back! Although they apparently remind Donna of her cat. But, I have to say, it doesn't look like they're having a fun time.

This one was seen writhing in its chains.

Other shots of the Ood include one amidst gunfire and fighting, one walking past the Doctor and leading a man somewhere, and this one below with flames and snow...

Ood: I don’t understand Miss
Donna: Why do you say miss? Do I look like I’m single?

Extract from DWM
"Doctor get me out!" screams Donna Noble from inside a giant, blue, metal container....
"If you don't do what she says," the Doctor barks at some men with guns, "you're really in trouble. Not from me, from her!"

As well as Donna being locked away, we also have her, the Doctor, and another woman running away through the same blue crates and dodging gunfire.

But from what I can make out, the trio get separated... and the Doctor is left on his own, running for his life. Here we have him rolling violently across the floor as he falls.










And there is a strange machine claw thing that is attached to the ceiling which strikes down towards him as he runs past...









After that, the Doctor and Donna are lovingly locked up in a cage. Although, this could actually happen before all the running about. Who knows? Certainly not me!


And here are some soldiers... possibly the same ones that were shooting at the Doctor and Donna, this seams quite likely since one of them was seen cackling away in a most evil manner.

And thanks to the new trailer, we can see what they're pointing their guns at:

An Ood, who turns sharply round to look at them, its eyes glowing and making a strange strangling noise.

From what I can make out, there is definitely something going on with the Ood, what with the glowing red eyes and men running around with guns... OR is there another, greater threat altogether?

Donna: Being with you, I can't tell whats right and whats wrong anymore
The Doctor: Its better that way.

So... evil Ood, strange creepy soldiers... whatever happens, its something bad enough to first blow up the Doctor and Donna:

And then frighten them muchly...

Exciting?

The Doctor: Oh yes!

Speculations:

- It may contain a character named Sawahla, who plays a major part in the episode, and may possibly be an Ood herself.

- Its set before 'Impossible Planet/Satan Pit' and features the Ood hive mind being destroyed by humans, creating the subservient race we saw previously.
