Doctor Who

Ok here goes nothing.....

Spoiler:

Here is what i know so far

The Christmas Special this year will star David Tennant and the woman with the world's most perfect ass Kylie Minogue.

Series 4 starts with Donna, The Runaway Bride (played by the lovely and yummy Karen Tate), she tracks down The Doctor because of a problem, and spends the whole series tagging along with him.

Martha Jones will return for 5 episodes at the end of the series, the general idea given Martha's inablity to connect with the fans, at this point is that if anything Martha is gonna end up going over to Torchwood, the Doctor Who spin off series that stars John Barrowman's character of Capt. Jack Harkness because Martha will appear in 3 episodes of that shows second series.

Joan Collins, former star of Dynasty and all around 80s hotness, will be playing The Rani an evil female Timelord.

Sr. Ben Kingsly is going to appear as the reserected Devross, the creator of the Daleks

oO then what was the comercial on BBC America regarding then ?

It more then likely was promoting last series, which was the series in which Billie left the show at the end of. If you've not seen it i should warn you though the series is excellent, the end of Doomsday does hit you like a sack of knobs inside a sack of bricks inside a bag of sand.

Ok going over to the BBC America site and looking, yes, its series two, which was the first series with David Tennant as the Doctor that they're getting now. Its gonna start with Christmas Invasion from two years ago which was right after Tennant took over the role from Chris Eccleson. They're doing The Christmas Invasion and New Earth together as a two hour thing. New Earth is where you first see the planet that is returned too in "Gridlocked" in series three, and where you meet Novice Hayes who also plays a big part in that episode.

I also see they're airing Torchwood. umm.... some advice, though Torchwood is a spin off of Doctor Who, please, avoid it like the plague that it is. sure the idea is great, former who sidekick Capt. Jack Harkness working for Torchwood, the group that filters really heavy into series 2 of Doctor Who and has to do with the way Rose leaves, but its shit. Its basically these emotionally detached people having sex with each other and afew aliens. Now I don't have an issue with people that are gay, lesbian or bisexual as you know, when you literally force the idea into a tv show and have literally every cast member have either a one time or ongoing sexual thing with someone of their own gender just because its "shocking" and "adult content", thats just stupid and wrong, yes there is nothing wrong with people who are gay or lesbian or bi, yes there should be better representation or more so current depictions on tv but they just fail by forcing it into every single character. Somewhere early on, they lose the concept of Hunting down and containing aliens and alien devices that come through the riff in Cardif (Rose and this girl thats decentant of Gwen from Torchwood open it in series one of the current version of who), and it became basically nothing more then a show where everyone and everything they meet was either closet homosexual or bi-curious. And through I understand what they were trying to do with the idea, it over shadowed the concept of the show.

Plus BBC America is gonna edit ALOT of that show out. The male and female nudity, the constant swearing, hopefully all those scenes of Jack standing ontop of buildings wile an electric guitar plays in the background...

ok // i saw the eps where the Cybermen came back from the 'Alternate' Earth and the eps were Rose leaves and the Children of Scaro(sp) appear.

ok .. got it..next SAT BBCA airing is actually 'syndication' of Dr. Who series II

Ok then you've seen Doomsday then? with the big sad holy shit make Laz cry cuz its just so damn sad ending and such? cuz damn it hits you the first time.

and yeah it is syndication, see, anything after BBC, CBC and Sci Fi air it is seen as syndication, they all pay into the buget, so they get it first run, then after that it goes around the world, then to BBC America, and from there it ends on PBS, however BBCA and PBS have continuing rights to both the old show and its 40something year run, and the new show if i recall.

that's cool

caint wait to see it reRun on PBS ^^
seeing the "new" Doctor on PBS would just be the shiznit

Dunno if all the PBS stations picked it up, but our one here in NH aired the Eccleson run at pledge time and said they're putting them in rotation with the rest of their who stuff.

ok .. so tell me o great keep of who knowledge
why does queen elizabeth the 1st despise The Doctor

LOL!! is that a reference to the bit at the end of that episode with Shakesbeare from Season 3? They haven't to this moment explained that.

OMG !!! fthat 2nd part to the Family Blood was freaking awsome

... and viscous(sp) ooooooo is The Doctor ever so very evil

I loved that one! that would have made a great end of a series episode, not that I didn't really like the way this series ended, but still, lets see, past the family blood, so now you're on to Utopia and where you find out where Jack has been and how he got back to the present.. I will warn you there are spoilers in this episode that filter into the begining or Torchwood, so don't be too surprised if you've seen it before you see the series.

Some backstory so you know exactly when it takes place in chronological order, the very last bit of series one of Torchwood, you see Jack standing in the Torchwood base (its under that square in Cardiff they keep showing through out Who, right where the rift is), you hear the TARDIS engines, Jack smiles, then you cut to the rest of the team coming to see him, and they find he's gone. You next see Jack running for the TARDIS at the start of Utopia.
