Spoilers Revealed for New Season of BBC's DOCTOR WHO

Doctor Who doesn't start making house calls again until Aug. 23, but show runner Steven Moffat has let lose with a spoilerific description for the new season. MTV broke the news. Read on at your own risk.

801: A "huge introductory hour" that will find Clara trying to cope with the loss of her friend. "Mixed in with a truly terrifying monster."

802: A "gritty" Dalek adventure that goes into "the most dangerous place in the universe - the last place the Doctor should be."

803: A "Doctor meets Robin Hood" adventure that finds Twelve questioning whether or not he's a good man.

804: A Moffat-penned departure that's a "complete departure" for him as a writer. "It's the story of a date and the Doctor having what appears to be a mild nervous breakdown." Basically, it's downtime for the Doctor, but with a monster.

805: A heist episode with a "crackling monster" and Keeley Hawes.

806: An "absolute hoot" of an episode that Moffat compares to "The Lodger." This will explore how slipping away with the Doctor affects his companions.

807: "Proper drama. With monsters, and all the 'Doctor Who' stuff that you could want." Also features a callback to an old episode.

808: A "brilliant" script and monster, with another callback to a Matt Smith episode from his first series. Also features the band Foxes, and the Doctor peaceing out for "several years."

809: A horror episode, that apparently made everyone clap and cheer at the read-through.

810: A "heartfelt" fairytale that is "quite different."

811/812: A two-parter with Cybermen! "It's about Clara and the Doctor, and the fact that the way they interact might not be healthy for everyone around them." Will also feature UNIT.

Doctor Who is the continuing saga of a mysterious time traveler who picks up human companions and faces evil foes with little more than his wits and a sonic screwdriver while he journeys throughout time and space in the TARDIS-a unique craft disguised as a police call box. As the famed Whovian Craig Ferguson once said, it's about "the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism."
