Doctor Who - Episode 6.05 - The Rebel Flesh - Press Release

5 May 2011

Doctor Who – The Rebel Flesh Ep 5/7
Saturday 21 May
6.00-7.00pm BBC ONE

A solar tsunami sends the TARDIS hurtling towards a futuristic factory on Earth, where human doppelgangers are used to mine dangerous acid, as the time-travelling adventures continue.

A second wave hits and the "Gangers" separate. They can remember every second of their "original's" life and feel every emotion they've ever experienced. But are these memories stolen or have they been bequeathed? Are the Gangers merely faulty machinery that must be shut down or are they living, breathing, sentient beings? Can the Doctor convince the terrified humans to accept these "almost people" and prevent an all-out civil war before the factory explodes?

The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Amy by Karen Gillan and Rory by Arthur Darvill.

    doppelgangers, eh? Mystery of the dying 'Doctor' explained? i hope not, it would be a bit lame if that was the explanation to the plot twist from ep. 1

    but the doc from ep 1 was from the future and not a doppelganger ;)

    I actually hope it does explain it. They've really backed themselves into a corner with this plot. As it stands, Matt Smith would be the last Doctor ever. That's a real problem for a TV show that survives on the ability to plug different actors in to play the same character.

    There's really no concrete way to rule that out.

    Say the Doctor gets a doppelganger in this episode and for some reason decides that there can't be two Doctors in the universe for some timy wimy reason. So the doppelganger Doctor runs away and keeps running for 200 years and eventually decides to stop. This would explain the "faster than I've ever run" monologue and the absent TARDIS (unless he fixed the chameleon circuit)

    Perhaps the Doppelganger lived for 200 years before that episode OR (and this is really going to mess with you)...what if a Doppelganger was made of the Doctor 200 years FROM now, so we get to see a doppelganger of an older Doctor who then runs off to be killed and thus solve the problem raised in Ep 1?
