The cheesy Bond joke annoys me. Especially since it's not even a frickin Dalton film. Ignoring that, awesome

I LOVE Dalton.

I wonder who he's playing.

I cringed at that joke as well.

I LOVE Dalton.

From what I can gather (which might be completely wrong)...

Spoiler

He's the leader of a group of Time Lords, who escaped into another dimension during the Time War, and are now out for revenge against The Doctor (shades of Khan, perhaps).

If he's a character from the old series, he's probably somebody like Borusa.

[Orion]

Look at his costume in the picture, it may prove above right. Would also explain the best actor in british television returning as "The Anti-Tennant" (his words not mine) As to say he would have a strong connection would be an understatement.

[marktmurphy]

Marvellous (if very naughty- looks like someone's leaked a bit of Christmas tape). He's definitely a Time Lord by the looks of it.

[Orion]

Well he's got

The seal of rassilon

on his chest, so i'd asume so, and since he's standing with the other two Time Lords we've been introduced to since 2005, namely the great David Tennant and the ever incredible

John Simm

i think thats a safe assumption.

Well no, he hasn't; but it is a new-style Time Lord symbol as seen in the TARDIS graphics and worn by the Time Lords in flashback in series 3.

A one-off special of Doctor Who is set to bring all 11 incarnations of the Time Lord together for the first time.

http://www.mirror.co...15875-21463519/

The episode will see new Doctor Matt Smith, 26, make his debut, joining David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston and old favourites including Tom Baker, Peter Davison and Sylvester McCoy.

The 15-minute show, which starts filming in September, will be shown in November as part of BBC1’s Children in Need appeal.

The stars have waived their fees for the show, in which the 10th doctor, played by Tennant, gets some help from the others to carry out a mission.

The three deceased Time Lords – William Hartnell, Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton – will be included by using images from their original shows, stretching from 1966 to 1974.

A source said: “This is a momentous episode for all Doctor Who fans. Never before have all the Doctors been in the same room, let alone in the same show.

“It’s been a logistical nightmare getting all the actors together and available for shooting on the same days.

“But the script has already been started and it’s classic Doctor Who – really witty and very sharp.

“Viewers will see the Time Lords regenerating and emerging one by one from the Tardis, each with their own quirky opening line.

“David Tennant is the central character in the episode. He’s trying to hunt down some special time travel apparatus.

“What he’s actually lost has not yet been decided, but the idea is for all the other Doctors to club together to help David find it.

“The actors who are no longer with us, William, Jon and Patrick, will make special cameo appearances, with footage from original shows being flashed up on screen.

“It’s a really exciting project – and all for a good cause.”

Rose Tyler, the Doctor’s assistant recently played by Billie Piper, is not thought to feature in the one-off BBC1 programme.

This is not the first Doctor Who special. Three years ago, Piper and Tennant filmed a show in Barcelona for Children in Need, while the first festive special aired on Christmas Day 2005.

Nor is it the first time all the Doctors have featured in a show – in 1983, the five Doctors to date were reunited for a Children in Need special called The Five Doctors. In 1993 the Children in Need special Dimensions in Time reunited Doctors three to seven.

A BBC spokesman said last night: “Nothing has been finalised yet, although there is discussion of a Children in Need Doctor Who special. It is too early to say what.”

I really enjoyed Planet of the Dead cant wait for The waters of Mars then DT's swansong with you know who returning why is everyone critical of everything in The New Doctor Who

Grew up with DW and still love it.
It's my favourite show of all time, it has defined my life and it always will do. POTD was fine - not stellar.
BTW - I don't register a distinction between so-called "New" and "Old" Who personally - perhaps you do do - but when you think about it there's a big difference between criticism and outright hatred or just being a passive drone.
No need to be confused old chap - some people have opinions. That's what a forum is here for, afterall!!!

i wasn't around when dr who was on in its original hey day i grew up with the endless re runs on uk gold i bet people didn't whine as much when it was on in those days mind you they didn't have forums back then and am not an old chap probably younger than you

Oh great. Yet another DOCTOR WHO special event is to be ruined by being included within CHARITIES IN NEED with their distracting onscreen phone numbers, email addresses and pledges for money and the constant offscreen cackling of the "Thank God Mum's Gone To Iceland" audience shipped in on the coach from GetALife'sVille.

There, I feel a little better. I would feel more better if this reunion special was part of a normal season. Why can't it be, eh?

Though my hunch is that this one is complete rubbish. The segment wouldn't include Matt Smith, so that is wrong for starters.

[marktmurphy]

They said this would happen last year too. Not going to happen. There might be a CiN sketch though, you never know.

[Royal Dalton]

Even if it was true, I'd be surprised if they managed to get Big Tom in the same room as the others.

BBC denies 'Doctor Who' reunion reports

The BBC has denied speculation of an "all-Doctors reunion" for this year's Children In Need.

The Mirror claimed that all ten incarnations of The Doctor would appear together in a 15-minute episode to be shown as part of the annual telethon in November.

The special would see David Tennant's Doctor calling on his nine predecessors to help him find a missing piece of Time Lord apparatus. The actors who portrayed the first three Doctors - William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee - are all deceased but would be represented by archive footage.

The report also claimed that the special would mark the first appearance of Matt Smith as the Doctor, although Smith is not due to take over from Tennant in the titular role until early 2010.

A spokesman told the newspaper: "Nothing has been finalised yet, although there is discussion of a Children in Need Doctor Who special. It is too early to say what."

Torchwood: Children of Earth starts on Monday night, and after watching this trailer...



What are the odds that the Doctor will pop up in Children Of Earth?

Think about it...

An ENTIRE trailer is devoted to talking about The Doctor, which will be very bad on BBC's part, if he doesn't show up. Gwen specifically mentions the Doctor when he's had no much of a passing reference in Series 2.

RTD has written the last episode.

Plus, Digital Spy have seen the first 3 episodes, and not the last two, so something must happen.

Also, if they're going to all the trouble putting it on BBCONE, there must be some bigger reason for doing so, rather than just for the hell of it.

Not trying to dampening your enthusiasm, Harkers, but the last Christmas episode was entitled "the Next Doctor" and the next Doctor, er, wasn't in it. In fact, it had nothing to do with the next Doctor...

Who' movie to be confirmed at Comic-Con?

A Doctor Who movie starring David Tennant will be announced at the Comic-Con event later this month, according to reports.

Speculation is growing that the BBC will confirm the big screen version at the five-day convention, which is held in San Diego, California. Tennant will be attending alongside departing executive producer Russell T Davies.

Previously, Tennant has revealed that he has signed up for an unidentified "sci-fi project", while Davies has hinted that an announcement of a "special project" would be coming soon, telling Doctor Who Magazine: "News as and when, but I can promise, it's worth waiting for."

Tennant's Doctor will regenerate at the end of three Doctor Who specials, the last of which airs early next year. Matt Smith will then assume the lead role.

A spokesperson for BBC Films has previously confirmed that a script for a Who movie is "in development".

[Sniperscope]

Is it just me - but does anyone else note the similarities between the TORCHWOOD Children of Earth and THE QUATERMASS CONCLUSION? Admittedly I've only seen the TW trailer but it seems quite similar...

On other things, I'm a bit underwhelmed at the idea of a DW movie...
It really seems curious timing as (if it's made at all) it will arrive during Matt Smith's time as the Doctor. It was never a problem when Cushing made the two Dalek movies, because not only was his character human but Cushing had never been a TV Doctor and these were remakes of Hartnell stories anyway, so they are easily discounted from "canon." But with Tennant in the role it's a wholly different proposition...

It also makes you wonder what kind of a story line they might attempt...
A cinematic release is highly unlikely to be too strongly linked to TV continuity because general filmgoers (who would presumably make up the majority of viewers) would risk alienation if the movie requires too much backstory or info-dump (look at what happened with the McGann film).
My biggest concern is whether a Tennant movie would subtly undermine Smith in the role, not to mention the unprecedented liberty such a step takes with the continuity of the programme...
Time will tell of course, but maybe everyone just needs to let Tennant go.

It makes a marketing sense and a very crucial ploy to buoy up TORCHWOOD's debut on a five night special on BBC ONE on DOCTOR WHO and David Tennent. TORCHWOOD has got progressively better ratings over the years but it is still an unknown and untried quantity to the telly audiences.

I can't say if Tennent is in this TORCHWOOD special, but I do know he is featuring in the new series of the SARAH JANE ADVENTURES.

There is a feeling / insight that suggests the audience will not see Tennent regenerate into Matt Smith so as to not mentally draw a line for Tennent and disable him from doing a film.

I hope this isn't the case. I want to see Tennant regenerate, If not, it won't seem right. I want an gripping final two episodes, allowing audiences to say a proper goodbye to the 10th Doctor.

Whatever they do with Tennant after that is their buisiness, be it a movie or a spin off show. I love him, but I want to see him regenerate.

More filming spoilers, if posted before, sorry...hint: weddings.

Spoiler

http://www.thesun.co...r-Timelord.html

WEDDING fever will hit Doctor Who - with three of the Timelord's former sidekicks getting hitched, TV Biz can reveal.
They will all get wed as Who star David Tennant bows out of the show,

We previously told how all the time-travelling hero's assistants will return for Tennant's final scenes on the BBC1 sci-fi hit later this year.

Fans will see Rose Tyler - played by Billie Piper - marry the half-human clone of the Doctor in their parallel universe.

Meanwhile, Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) - her replacement as assistant - will tie the knot with Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke).

Tennant will also make a special guest appearance in the CBBC spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures for the wedding of his former companion Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen).

Executive producer Russell T Davies said: "Viewers thought they may have to wait until November for the next full episode of Doctor Who - but this is an extra special treat."


Comedian Catherine Tate, who plays sidekick Donna Noble, will also reunite with Tennant, 38, for his finale.

He will be replaced in the next series by 26-year-old Matt Smith, who will become the 11th Doctor.

A show source said: "Fans won't be disappointed by the new Doctor and they're in for a treat with the new series - which will include the return of the ultra-scary Weeping Angels."

Meanwhile, we can reveal that Tennant has signed up for even more Doctor Who episodes - as a cartoon.

The Scots star has already recorded seven new animated shorts. They will also feature his real-life girlfriend Georgia Moffett, who played the Doctor's daughter in the 2008 series.

Russell said the six-minute episodes - called Dreamland - will feature "truly exotic aliens and locations, in a beautiful, rich script full of history and imagination".

He added: "Voice recordings have already been completed - including David Tennant as the Doctor of course.

"And we're delighted to welcome Georgia Moffett back to the fold."


But Russell said the cartoon series would not see a return for the Doctor's daughter - as Georgia, 24, will be playing a brand new character called Cassie Rice.

The series - which will air on CBBC - will be the second animated Who story to star Tennant.

He appeared in The Infinite Quest two years ago.

Russell will give way to Steven Moffat as the show's lead writer and executive producer in 2010.

But he hinted at yet ANOTHER outing for Tennant as the Timelord.

He said: "With the Doctor's appearance in The Sarah Jane Adventures as special project one, and the Dreamland animation as special project two, it would be nice to round things off for Doctor Who in 2009 with a special project three. We're working on it."

Rumours abound that Russell is working on a Doctor Who movie which could star Tennant.

[DamnCoffee]

The wedding story is bull. I heard it a while ago.

Spoiler

It was revealed on Torchwood: Children Of Earth that Martha is on her honeymoon.

As for Rose, the Doctor meets her a year before she meets the ninth Doctor. The Rose Tyler from the parallel universe doesn't return.

[Zorin Industries]

There is a wedding angle. I can spill the beans if anyone wants...?

What have people thought of CHILDREN OF EARTH? I personally think it has been a resourceful tour de force of television fun. It hasn't been pitched too big, cleverly masks its budgetary concerns, has won its gamble of opening out the trio of characters lives and has been quite chilling.

It also hasn't tripped over itself to let in the new viewers. The first episode let newcomers in, but not at the expense of the faithful viewers persistance. It has been a great exercise in broadcasting. Like the similiarly structured CRIMINAL JUSTICE last year, the British public WILL watch every night if the writing and production values have some thought put into it. To paraphrase FIELD OF DREAMS, "If you write good drama, they will come".
