Simm last seen as the Master in The End Of Time will appear in Capaldi's penultimate story, working alongside Michelle Gomez's current incarnation, Missy and there's rumours they won't be the only Masters in the finale. Other rumours include David Bradley possibly playing a version of the 1st Doctor while the upcoming Christmas special, due to film in June will see the 12th Doctor's regeneration will be precipitated by him doing something reckless. It will also be a story of redemption too. As for the casting for Doctor 13, well an announcement should hopefully be with us shortly but until then, it looks like we've got an exciting final series for Steven Moffat and Peter Capaldi ahead of us.
