Chibnall: “The Timeless Children” Will Leave Fans “Wrung-out”
Speaking to EW, Chibnall said: “‘The Timeless Children’ — plural! — will pay off a lot of the strands that we’ve set running both last year and this year.
“I’m going to do classic British understatement here: It’s a relatively seismic episode for the Doctor, and for the show. You will get some answers, but you will also be left with a whole load of new questions in true Doctor Who style.”
Asked how Chibnall thinks fans will be left feeling once the episode is over, he replied: “It is an emotional and narrative roller coaster — for the characters, for the audience.”
He continues: “I think you’re going to need a very strong drink. It’s a 65-minute finale, so on BBC America that will go longer, obviously. It’s big, it’s action-packed, it’s very, very epic and very, very emotional, and there is a blistering performance from Jodie Whittaker in that final episode. People, I think, are going to feel wrung-out and possibly a little bit open-mouthed.”
