They don’t sound anything like a traditional two-parter, aside from their titles; the second episode is called “The Woman Who Lived”.

Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams donated £10,000 to a charity set up by a school friend – who has cancer.
Mathieson teased there’s more than a Viking war at play in the episode. Maisie Wiliams, who plays Arya Stark on the HBO drama, will appear in Season 9, episode 5 of the BBC America cult hit.
In the clip of “The Girl Who Died”, Clara and Ashildre desperately try to save themselves and Ashildre’s fellow Vikings from a death chamber whose walls are closing in fast.
In a newly released video, the actress also discusses her experience with the Doctor Who and Game of Thrones fandoms colliding, revealing how she feels the pressure of meeting expectations and pleasing the fans. Or how she ends up in a “Beauty and the Beast” type situation later in the season (based on the trailer).
But, listen, it’s possible Williams is playing a character who doesn’t need her day saved by the Doctor and his special shades.
“It’s so nice to know that there is a bit of hype around it before it comes out”, Williams told BBC America. What we know at the moment is that in “The Girl Who Died”, she’s a young Viking girl named Ashildre whose village is attacked by fierce alien warriors.
