A new photo released on the official Doctor Who Twitter feed features a notable absence.
The pic from the read-through of the next episode to be filmed features the script alongside Peter Capaldi’s name, but unlike previous read-through pics, there does not appear to be a visible script for Jenna Coleman.
Of course, it’s possible that the episode is just a companion-lite story, similar to ‘Midnight’ and ‘Closing Time’.
Coleman joined the show in 2012 and has appeared in 25 episodes on screen so far.
The next episode to be filmed is Episode 11, the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine has confirmed.
