I found this from November in a Dr Who wiki:
It should be noted that the name Wilfred Mott is an Anagram for the phrase "WTF Time Lords" or "Time Lords WTF".
I wonder if that was intentional?
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

That was weird. There was a whole lot of plot, yet not much happened.
do they show anyone else surviving the Master-ization?
They didn't show anything in the previews. But as pure speculation, I wouldn't be surprised if Captain Jack were immune.

FYI:
I found the preview and trailer that have been broadcast on BBC.
With the bonus of being available for viewing, since the UK site is off limits to non-UK peoples.
The preview may be spoilery, as I don't know if it's been shown on BBCA

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Scola, is he even on the planet?

Whoa. Neither one of the previews Daniel linked to where on the copy I got. These were much more interesting.
OMG. I just had a thought.
So, if the 10th is supposed to die for good... with all this dundunDUN foreshadowing, what if 11 springs from Wilf?
Hmm. Wouldn't that be twisty.
Donna and her ma weren't affected by the Masterification because they share his Gallifrey dna .
Yeah, probably totally overshot that one, but it's fun to think about. And would fit right in with the bringing of the pain since it would mean Wilf no more .

Oh dear, the dance-fu sparring scene from Farscape just does not get any better with repetition.

If 11 sprang from Wilf he wouldn't be 11. He'd be someone else.

I'm wondering if something will happen with the part of Donna that is the Doctor.

Eh. So much for my gleeful mind-dance. You are right, of course.
I'm just trying to figure out how all this is connected, but I'm having no luck. Either that means it's great storytelling or I'm slipping.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Did we know before today that we was more special than, say, Micky?
The Doctor commented on the coincidence the second time he met Wilf, as it's odd that he runs into people more than once. (Micky wouldn't count, because he only ran into the Doctor multiple times because of Rose. Likewise, Jack and Donna were looking for the Doctor, and it took a long time -- Jack, a century of camping out somewhere where he knew the Doctor would turn up; Donna -- perhaps a bit too serendipitously -- by investigating weird shit she was sure he'd be involved in, and even that took a year or two. Sarah Jane continued on investigating Doctor-ish things, and took a few decades to run across him again. So yeah, Wilf's continually crossing his path must seem suspicious. But then, I don't know that it means he's a time lord, either.
But then ...
It should be noted that the name Wilfred Mott is an Anagram for the phrase "WTF Time Lords" or "Time Lords WTF".
Yeah, that seems suspicious. (:
