They already hinted at it in the first episode. My guess, his subconscious picks the face of someone he saw or met at some point in his life.
If you count Torchwood as part of Doctor Who, then yes (I haven't seen it, but I am assuming I'll love it.)
But yeah, referencing the fact that he's seen this face before, it's very curious. Much like when Colin Baker played that Gallifreyan general in that 5th Doctor episode and the 6th Doctor looked a lot like him...
It's always been hinted at in the series, mainly by Romanavelentura, that Time Lord's can, more or less, control their features during regeneration or afterwards ("Might just bring down the age, just to freak people out."). And it would explain the possible future Doctor in the 50th anniversary special talking about how the younger Doctor would be seeing some old faces again...
Yeah, course Torchwood is part of Doctor Who, it takes place in the same Universe and they cross over.
There was an interview not too long ago in which Moffat stated that Davis had plans to explain why two somewhat prominent characters were played by Capaldi, and that he was likely going to base an upcoming story on that. So I'm exited.
I think we'll be able to tell by the next episode whether the Clockwork man jumped or was pushed. Should the next episode feature a Misty scene with someone who committed suicide, we can assume she picks only suicides, and that the Clockwork man jumped.
Just had a look at the episode list, and one that peaked my interest is episode 6 "The Caretaker", it's co-written by Moffat and therefore likely to be continuity heavy. Could this be the return of Tom Baker's "Caretaker" from the 50th special?
