SPOILER ALERT: Fans took to Twitter to express their highly emotional reactions to the death of the Doctor's companion Clara Oswald, played by Jenna Coleman, on Saturday night's episode. Concerns had been raised that Doctor Who's 8.10pm broadcast time wasn't suitable for the episode's dark content.

Six British men driving three old ambulances are arrested in Belgium after they are seen near an Esso petrol station used by fugitive terrorist Salah Abdeslam
Six Pakistani born British men were arrested in Belgium after being spotted in three 'old ambulances' near a petrol station used by fugitive terrorist, Abdeslam Salah, it was reported. Armed police in six armoured trucks screamed at the men to get out of the ambulances which were parked at the Esso petrol station in Bierges, 20 miles from the capital Brussels (bottom left and right). They found clothes, food and money inside the vehicles, raising fears they may have been trying to get to Syria. The capital city has been locked down and flooded with armed police and tanks over fears of an 'imminent' terror attack. Salah, Europe's most wanted man, has been on the run since he took part in the slaughter of 130 in Paris last Friday.

Former Blue Peter presenter John Leslie is questioned by police over 'sex attack' claim by 22-year-old woman
Former Blue Peter presenter John Leslie (right) has been questioned by police in connection with an alleged assault of a young woman at a radio station's awards ceremony in Edinburgh. Officers yesterday swooped on Leslie's £500,000 Edinburgh home (left) following claims by a 22-year-old that she was assaulted hours after last Thursday's event finished. Just last month the 50-year-old spoke of how his life came crashing down when rape allegations ruined his career. Edinburgh-born Leslie was presenting ITV's This Morning when broadcaster Matthew Wright accidentally identified him as an unnamed 'acquaintance' who Ulrika Jonnson claimed had raped her in her autobiography. Inset: John Leslie outside court in 2003, with his then-girlfriend Abi Titmuss.

Winter wonderland comes five weeks early: Britain wakes up to snowy scenes after the coldest November night for five years - and tonight will be just as chilly
The Met Office said the cold temperatures would continue today and a yellow weather warning was in place for Scotland and North East England. A fresh flurry of snow came down in Cumbria (top right) and children made the most of the winter weather. Rain is expected to turn to ice, as snow continues to fall on higher grounds in coming days (bottom right). Temperatures dropped as low as -6C in some places over night. Billy Payne, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, said temperatures will struggle up slightly today but warned there is another chilly night ahead. Showers are expected to push south before becoming confined to the north east of England this afternoon, he said, adding: 'It's still a bit wintry in the hills but any snow which comes down will be short-lived.'
