Around about the middle of December, Den Of Geek was lucky enough to attend an early screening of Spyfall, part one of the Doctor Who series 12 premiere. You can read our spoiler-free thoughts at this link, if you fancy.

After the screening, there was a Q&A with showrunner Chris Chibnall, star Jodie Whittaker and the rest of the core cast. We’ll be allowed to share more chunks of this chat once the episode has come out, but for now, we’ve got some tantalising teases to offer.

Asked what he was most excited to do in this series that he didn’t do last time, Chibnall said this: “I think two-parters, for start. We very deliberately, last year, had single episodes so that anybody could join at any week. And now, these two-parters, there’s a greater scale to those stories – you can see from that [Spyfall part one, which we’d just watched]. And we’ve got a two-parter at the end of the series as well, so there’s that.”

There’s your confirmation that Doctor Who series 12 will open and close with two-part stories, then!
