Matthew Graham's upcoming two-parter is already shaping up to be a dramatically improved effort on his part after the disappointing, to say the least, "Fear Her". Next month's "The Rebel Flesh", however, has been written over a longer period of time than a mere two weeks, and the plot development we're starting to learn about has shown the merit of Graham's skills, which he has previously demonstrated in fan-favourite Life on Mars.
Doctor Who TV reports on an article from Total Film detailing "The Rebel Flesh".
Shot in various crumbling castles, "The Rebel Flesh" centres on an acid-mining operation in a 22nd-Century monastery where the dangerous work is done by doppelgängers cloned in a 'flesh bowl'.
Matt Smith’s Doctor and newly-wed co-flyers Amy and Rory gatecrash the party when a TARDIS trip to Whitby gets mysteriously slammed off-course. Then a storm hits and the whole shebang screeches off-piste.
"The gangers go through stages before they become human-looking, and you see those stages," says Mark Bonnar, who plays the mining op’s second-in-command Jimmy. "They can be, er… not pretty to look at, you might say!"
As we've seen in the full Series 6 trailer, Matt Smith will at some time undergo this process. This seems to fit in with early filming reports, including one story—which I can't seem to find right now—about a dozen or so TARDISes being spotted on the production crew's truck. This seems like some unusual combination of multiplied Sontarans and disguised Auton drones, and the promised cliffhanger at the end of "The Almost People" might have something to do with that.
But who is cloning the Doctor? What does the acid-mining operation have to do with these "flesh bowls"? Why Whitby?
