Australian Doctor Who fans, June 29 is the date for season four. Same as previous years, it will be broadcast on ABC, 7.30pm on Saturday nights.

I wrongly said last year's timeslot was 7.30 when it was in fact 8.30. How forgetful of me.

The time for Voyage of the Damned on ABC on June 29 is now confirmed to be at 7:30pm instead of 8:30pm as previously thought. This is due to its length of 72 minutes.

Last nights episode was a supsrisingly good episode! I always feel when there's a really good two parter, the follow up episode is a bit of a letdown. Not this time, it was a brilliant, chilling story. The next time trailer was very good aswell, apparently...

[DamnCoffee]

Here is the synopsis for Episode 11 of Series 4, entitled - Turn Left...

Spoiler

Donna’s entire world collapses, but there’s no sign of the Doctor, as Russell T Davies’s Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama continues. Instead, she finds help from a mysterious blonde woman?" a traveller from a parallel universe. But, as Donna and Rose Tyler combine forces, are they too late to save the whole of creation from the approaching darkness?

David Tennant has yet to consider his Doctor Who future. Tennant has said "I've not really been asked yet, if and when I'm asked then I'll consider the question." Tennant will be appearing in several specials in 2009 to fill the gap between the current fourth season and the fifth. Here’s hoping Tennant continues this role he has made his own and builds a legacy.

The next showrunner Steven Moffat has said that Tennant (along with Peter Davison) is his favourite Doctor and if his recent two parter is anyhting to go by Tennant will definitely do the fifth series at least.

Lets hope so. Tennant is the best Doctor, by far.

Just a reminder that Episode 11 of the fourth series of Doctor Who - 'Turn left', is to be broadcast at 6:40pm on BBC One, thats 23 mins from now, guys.

[DamnCoffee]

Oh My God... Tonight's episode was brilliant.

Looks like a Torchwood crossover for next weeks 2 part season finale!

[_Ozu_]

Can somebody explain me how was Donna supossed to save the Doctor's life in 'The Runaway Bride'?

I don't understand what does she yell at him when the Racnoss where almost under water.

And yes, the 12th episode of Series 4 is gonna be awesome. As you've said, it seems to be a crossover of Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures, and the cliffhanger to episode 13 is absolutely amazing.

[DamnCoffee]

Cliffhanger? ... Go on...

[_Ozu_]

I don't really know if that's the correct word...sorry

Well, episode 12 ends like this:

Spoiler

The Doctor regenerating

That's all I can tell, if I continue I could ruin you episode 13

If you could explain me how donna saved the Doctor's life...

[DamnCoffee]

OMG. This cannot be happening. I'm crying.

Whats your source?

Hang On... wasn't there pictures of him on set for the Christmas Special?

[_Ozu_]

You know, it doesn't have to be a full regeneration...some things can go wrong...

You'll be really surprised

[DamnCoffee]

So Tennant is safe?

And Ozu, are you speaking from experience? It sure as hell sounds like it.

[David Schofield]

I have no knowledge of a regeneration, but I do feel that I've seen enough of Tennant's earnest, superior Doctor. And his career is taking off, particularly in the theatre. And it would be a neat - mind-blowing (a Doctor's departure ahs NEVER been a secret) - way for both he and Russell T. Davies to go out.

And David Morrisey IS in the Xmas episode. And HE was one of those shortly listed - was in last year? - when rumours of Tennants departure were flying around...

[sharpshooter]

That took a massive weight of worry off my mind. I'm looking forward to the finale even more now.

[_Ozu_]

If you like Tennant, you'll be double pleased on ep 13.

David Morrisey is indeed on the Xmas Victorian Special, but it's not clear if he's playing A Doctor or a parallel world Doctor (or maybe a future one).

btw, the opening credits of eps 12 and 13 are really very crowded!

Thanks for this Ozu, I cannot wait untill episode 13.


I'm really interested to see the Torchwood crossover.

Earnest? Superior? Sounds like the Third Doctor more than the Tenth you're describing. And thank goodness the wider audience aren't as 'tired' of seeing him in the role as you are.

[_Ozu_]

btw, I've been told that a certain Paul McGann may reappear on 2009's specials.

OMG this is brilliant.

[sharpshooter]

Oh, that is brilliant! About time he re-surfaced in some format and received more recognition. I simply can not wait to see this episode. He's the Lazenby of the Doctors - Laz never got a chance to return, McGann does! - truly MAGIC.

[DamnCoffee]

I really think it's time for 'The 10 Doctors'! Imagine how cluttered the titles will be.

Had a feeling about that. McGann a while ago said he was up for a return (so long as he didn't have to wear a wig).

And Tennant sorted of paused over the issue of the Time War, stressing we'd never seen it, or some such like, on last night's Confidential. Why would he do that?

I quite agree Sharpshooter.


Take a look at this.... It just proves how brilliant Tennant is as an actor...

[_Ozu_]

In Midnight and in Turn Left Tennant has been at the top of his acting habilities in my opinion. Really really good.

And about the Time War...

I don't think we'll ever get to see it. We'd need a 3h movie to show the epicness of that battle and I think not everything could be told. I even doubt we'll ever get to see McGann regenerating into Eccleston, but if Mr. Davies get Eccleston to shot that moment on one of the specials, it would be terribly awesome.

Though I doubt Eccleston would agree...

A 3 hour movie. Or two 90 minute specials.

Eccleston's participation? Give him sufficient dosh to cover his next indie project Or have McGann regenerate into him right at the end. At least that would give McGann the centre-stage encore as Who we all seem to feel he missed out on.

[DamnCoffee]

I was under the impression that there was 4 x 90min specials?

[_Ozu_]

I think it is:

Ep 12 - 45 min
Ep 13 - 60 min

Xmas 08 - 60 min

Special 1 - 90 min
Special 2 - 90 min
Special 3 - 90 min

Xmas 09 - 60 min

But I'm not sure if the Special 3 could be Xmas 09

I think that having McGann regenerating at the end of one of the specials would be awesome. I wish that after that and before the end titles we could hear Eccleston say 'Fantastic!'.

[DamnCoffee]

Yes, that would be brilliant.


Here are some Cast notes from Part 1 of the Season Finale....

The episode features the return of many actors and characters to the programme. Freema Agyeman reprises her role as Martha Jones for the second time in the series, and John Barrowman and Elisabeth Sladen also return as Jack Harkness and Sarah Jane Smith respectively. Adjoa Andoh returns as Martha's mother for the first time since "Last of the Timelords". Julian Bleach assumes the role of

, after appearing as the "Ghostmaker" in the Torchwood episode "From Out of the Rain" earlier in 2008.

This episode is also the first fully-fledged crossover between Doctor Who and its spin-off series Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures, with Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles), Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd), Luke Smith (Thomas Knight) and Mr Smith (Alexander Armstrong all appearing in the parent programme for the first time. Eve Myles previously played Gwyneth in the 2005 Doctor Who episode "The Unquiet Dead".

Jason Mohammad reprises his role as the newsreader from "Turn Left", and Lachele Carl also reappears as the recurring American newsreader from all three programmes, credited as "Trinity Wells" in series 4 after previously being named "Mal Loup". The Judoon from "Smith and Jones" also return in this episode.

Paul O'Grady and Richard Dawkins also appear, continuing the pattern of celebrity appearances in the penultimate episode of every series since the show's revival in 2005.
