Sorry, I forgot chat was open. To answer your questions/respond:
 * The patch of woods does not have to be in France. It could just be a random patch of woods…I feel like the Doctor and those he must protect being trapped in a single, tight space (escape means being stripped to the bone by the Vashta Nerada) could up the fear factor a bit. If the Vashta Nerada find a way in, these people are goners. What I don't want is to just repeat what's already been done with these things. They are the same species, but I want to reinvent them, as was done with the clockwork droids in Deep Breath - they were basically the same creatures but were quite different in the execution of their plan, and so on.
 * As for how the Doctor will find a Time Lord skeleton, that's not going to be explained in this episode. In the finale, the Doctor will learn it was a Time Lord (or "ghost" of one) that escaped from within him during his regeneration. What finding the skeleton does for the Doctor is inspire him; perhaps he somehow uses the TARDIS to track Gallifrey after scanning the medal (or other device) he finds with the skeleton...
