The Radio Times was released today, but unfortunately, although theres about 8 pages on Davros and how they make the masks for DW, there aren't that many spoilers.
They really are keeping Journey's End a secret aren't they?
Anywho, if you want a peek, then I suggest you head over to Cameron's fantastic blog, Blogtor Who, where you will be showered with pictures and articles and whatnot.
Thanks Cameron!

Thanks, as always, for the link!
There are actually a couple of spoilers about DAVROS in the articles (well, I didn't know about them).
Hmm, I have a thought.
Either the writer of the article is lying, has a very poor way of wording things, or just gave us proof that the Doctor will remain David Tennant and not move on to incarnation number eleven.
In describing this coming Saturday's episode, they write:
"And as the Time Lord (David Tennant) prepares for battle with Davros..." (Now, wait a minute. They can't be describing last week's episode because all he'd done was LAND on the planet. He hadn't been preparing for battle yet, so this must be a description of Journey's End's plot, *not* a recap of The Stolen Earth. And since it says "David Tennant", then it must still be David Tennant, right?)
"...he knows that a prophecy states that one of them will die." (And here's another moment where we put on the breaks. Again, this is in the same breath, so to speak, as crediting David Tennant as being the Doctor. However, it's *again* mentioning something that the Doctor as played by David Tennant last week, hadn't known yet.)
So we're left wondering which is it. Is the author lying, incapable of properly doing their job as a writer, or are they letting something slip?
or they have been asked not to reveal the name of the actor playing the new doctor
Which they could just say "The Time Lord" without mentioning any names at all.
I really don't believe that DT is on his way out in the next ep. I think it's being used to create suspense in order to get more viewership, and keep the fans guessing.
It doesn't make sense that they would cancel the 2009 series if her were regenerating into another actor. They did that so DT could find time to take part in Hamlet. They want him back on Doctor Who, so they accommodated him. Besides, the guy brings in great ratings.
By the end of the week you lot will have me questioning myself....lol
This. Is. The Slowest. Week. Of My Life.
I am never, ever going to make it to Saturday. Who's with me?
In this week's Radio Times, RTD mentions "writing dialogue for David and Catherine" (Tennant and Tate) with reference to "Journey's End". Surely this confirms that Tennant will still be the Doctor in ep 13, despite the apparent regeneration scene?
As far as Davros' master plan, anyone remember the final Tom Baker episode Logopolis? The plot resembles what Davros was talking about. Basically, the episode revolves around a planet of mathematicians who use complex calculations to prevent the universe from dying. It's complicated, but they basically funnel excess entropy into parallel universes. When those funnels were turned off, everything started crumbling into dust and later into nothing at all. Anyway, just a thought heading into the final episode.

Me, definately.
I just want to know that he's staying!
after watching the parting of the ways again there are so many similarities between what rose said and davros' little speech.
I'm with you Michelle.
The Doctor ...... David Tennant
Donna Noble ...... Catherine Tate
Rose Tyler ...... Billie Piper
Martha Jones ...... Freema Agyeman
Captain Jack Harkness ...... John Barrowman
Sarah Jane Smith ...... Elisabeth Sladen
Mickey Smith ...... Noel Clarke
Jackie Tyler ...... Camille Coduri
Luke Smith ...... Thomas Knight
Gwen Cooper ...... Eve Myles
Ianto Jones ...... Gareth David-Lloyd
Wilfred Mott ...... Bernard Cribbins
Sylvia Noble ...... Jacqueline King
Francine Jones ...... Adjoa Andoh
Davros ...... Julian Bleach
German Woman ...... Valda Aviks
Scared Woman ...... Shobu Kapoor
Chinese Woman ...... Elizabeth Tan
Liberian Man ...... Michael Price
Dalek Voice ...... Nicholas Briggs
Dalek Operators ...... Barney Edwards, Nick Pegg, David Hankinson, Anthony Spargo
Voice of Mr Smith ...... Alexander Armstrong
So according to that, DT is staying on. Unless it's some sort of misdirection.
According, to this list Luke is still in this episode. I wonder, if he's going to run away to help his Mum and get captured by Daleks? I'd just love to see him meet the Doctor and both of them start technobabbling :)
I agree, days are dragging by... on the other hand I just imagined how empty next week would be with no 'Doctor Who' to wait for. Well, at least we can still discuss it and wait for Prom scene and Christmas episode. Anyone knows if they're making Children in Need special this year?
No Christopher Eccleston or Paul McGann in the credits, either. Pity. It would be awesome seeing them again, McGann especially. And yet, you'd have to give them their own double episode - one not so crowded with other companions, either - to do them justice.
im with you.
one of the longest weeks of my life
it keeps draggin on & on & on.
i want to KNOW. |:|
Query: Have they actually given out preview DVDs of Journey's End? If not, the writers are just guessing, so you shouldn't read too much into any references to Tennant. (That said, I don't imagine for a second he's leaving.)
Why would DT leave in the preultimate episode? I imagine if he was going to leave they'd at least make it right at the end of the last episode like they did in parting of the ways. Yeah this week is dragging by but at least it's going faster than last week.
I've had a new theory regarding DT's regeneration, unlikely as it may seem. What if DT really does regenerate, but by the end of the episode, time reverses (a la Last of the Time Lords) and the regeneration is reversed too (since it's an event in time). Hence we get a 'regeneration that never was' and DT still stays on for the christmas special and 2009 specials...
"According, to this list Luke is still in this episode. I wonder, if he's going to run away to help his Mum and get captured by Daleks? I'd just love to see him meet the Doctor and both of them start technobabbling :)"
Wasn't Luke briefly in the preview clip for Journey's End (with Mickey, Jackie, and Sarah Jane on board the Crucible)?
And did the Doctor meet Luke over the sub-wave? I can't remember.
@dminor -
"No Christopher Eccleston or Paul McGann in the credits, either. Pity."
Well... was Penelope Wilton in the last episode's credits?
@n.t. I think he met Luke over the subwave as I recall he asked "Who's that boy?"
@sander - I thought that was Cap'n Jack, but a) I'm usually wrong about these things, and b) It hardly matters who said it anyway, I'm pretty sure they did meet over the sub-wave. Thanks
Actually you're both right. :) Both Jack and the Doctor asked who the boy was. I think Jack said "Who's the kid?" and the Doctor said, "Oh, who's that boy there?"
And really, after thinking about it, they'd *better* bring back Ten. If Ten is gone, then I feel we were sort of robbed of a real goodbye. Just...bang, gone? No more Tennant on Doctor Who ever? They gave Rose a whole two-part episode as a goodbye, in a way. And Nine got a nice meaningful farewell. Tennant just gets shot and here comes the next guy? I don't believe it. They wouldn't do that, would they?
I don't think that they would get rid of David Tennant like that and say bye bye forever. Being killed by one Dalek who happens to be there while he runs in slowmotion towards is long lost love is not a great ending for such a great Doctor. It would be a cheesy death. But let's wait and see.
But even if this would be the case, denying David Tennant his role in the big finale wouldn't make much sense. Russell T Davies said that everything's been bulding up to this finale, but it's been buiding up whith David Tennant has the doctor. I think it's the greatest cliffhanger in the history of Doctor Who but I'm pretty sure Saturday he will be present for the resolution of the story. At least I hope so.
Yeah, I don't think they would pull a "Wash", as I've been calling it in my head, referring to the movie Firefly where one of the main, very beloved characters just got taken out in a millisecond. No goodbye, nothing (well, except for a funeral that was held for *all* the good guys that died). Just a violent and unexpected death.
And I'm...not exactly sorry if I just ruined that part of the movie for anyone. It's been out for three years, for goodness sakes. :P So nyeah.
Anyway, I just can't believe they'd do that. Which likely means they haven't done it, but in the off chance that they have, I'm going to be very, very irritated.
Er, the movie Serenity that is...based off the TV show Firefly. My bad.
Gotta say, I hope DT isn't going (I doubt it's true) but at the same time the possibility of a new Doctor is incredibley exciting!
Also, and i don't know if this is accurate or not, but have a look at some Doc Who related words in Latin...that's all I'm saying ;-)
..wasn't DT seen filming on Bad Wolf Bay with Rose and Donna with two different suits.. one blue and one brown..
most likely filming the last episode..
so i don't think that he's gone forever after his regeneration thing from the end of the stolen earth
"Also, and i don't know if this is accurate or not, but have a look at some Doc Who related words in Latin...that's all I'm saying ;-)"
Hmmm... I should get on that. (Latin 1 student here!)
I found it hard to accept that a lone dalek would simply shoot him down so callously, given the empire has had ample opportunity to do it time and time again. I'm sure Davros would have issued some kind of order to capture him instead... archetypal villains like that, always need the fanfare...
It's possible he was "tagged" by the dalek, and that the apparent regeneration is actually a cleverly disguised means of transporting him to the crucible sonically - or some such means - an 'upload' perhaps. Given the clone theme, it's possible he may be swapped for a clone during the process - I'm not sure, but what we do know is that the doctor is on the crucible at some point in the next episode. A clip featuring Sarah-Jane, Mickey and Jackie suggests this.
It's also possible that he isn't in fact regenerating, but being repaired by nanobots, as people were in the episode "the doctor dances" from season one - this would certainly link-in the identical scar he has on his hand in the doctor's daughter episode.
I dont believe he is regenerating. I dont believe his daughter did either - that was the terraforming that saved her, as she was only shot through one heart - likewise the doctor was only shot on one side, they made a special effort to show that, nor did his skeleton flash as it would a normal extermination...
sorry this is convoluted - and my range of theories are jumbled... so in a nutshell, I don't think he was exterminated, and I don't think he is regenerating at all.
Yeah, my theory leans towards "He probably is regenerating, but something will interrupt it."
I think he's regenerating.
Is Digital Spy holding out on us? Do they not know anything?
Hmm, no Owen or Tosh on the cast list either. Not that I thought there would be but still...
Daystardragon, have you seen the end of Torchwood season two? Because it explains why Owen and Tosh aren't there...
There's no way Tennant is leaving. For all the reasons above (why defer Season 5 to 2009, seen filming the Christmas specials, rubbish exit, etc). I certainly favour the hand being involved in some way meaning a botched regeneration and him staying as he is. Still - if it is botched, it will be interesting to know if he has lost one of his 12 regenerations. I guess if so he would only have 2 left?
I reckon Mickey must save SJS early on in this episode - he is with her in the Crucible in Journey's End from the trailers we've seen, but wasn't in the last episode at all. Clearly she does not get exterminated in her car.
Mickey saves SJS. Does that mean Jackie saves Ianto & Gwen?
That would be SO cool to see! Jackie toting a gun like Rose's and blowing a Dalek wide open.
They can fend for themselves. As others have mentioned, they have a pterodactyl and weevil they could unleash on the dalek! :)
I dunno, if bullets can't kill a Dalek, I'm not sure if teeth and claws can. We'll see though!
I'm pretty sure the Supreme Dalek or Davros gave orders for the Doctor's extermination. Frankly, if they haven't learnt their lesson by now about killing him when they got the chance, they never will.
And Jackie's with Mickey on the Crucible, I believe. In fact, evidence suggests that just about everyone's heading there.
'They can fend for themselves. As others have mentioned, they have a pterodactyl and weevil they could unleash on the dalek! :)'
That would be awesome! Imagine a Weevil trying it's darndest to tear through a Dalek's armour lol
Maybe Ianto and Gwen get lucky and shoot the Dalek's eyepiece as they fire relentlessly at it before it kills them. Think about it: in TPOTW, one of the Dalek's was blinded, why can't the same happen to this one? And then something feeds on the Dalek's metal casing and it's gooey insides.
Anyway, Sarah Jane Smith gets saved by Jackie and Mickey. Just read the Journey's End page.
I think the Doctor might have an incomplete regeneration. Like, he thinks he's regenerating, but he only does so half way, getting a new personality but not a new face, and the next time he dies he regenerates into some one new.
ZOMG NOES!!!
:D:D:D:D
Well that was fun.
Judoon did not appear in journey s end and he is creating more daleks because he is not dead
