Round Up

Hey hey, just a quick news sum up of all the little things that have been discovered:

FACT
  • Steve Pemberton is playing "Lux", a mysterious character "who meets the Doctor during an expedition to uncover the secrets of an abandoned library. And apparently Lux is a nice tie in, as its effectively a unit of measurement for light on a surface, which fits in with "Count the Shadows"

  • Some new cast for the Sontaran 2 parter - Eleanor Matsuura (Jo), Ryan Sampson (Luke Rattigan), Rupert Holiday Evans (Colonel Mace), Bridget Hodson (Captain Price), Clive Standen (Harris), Wesley Theobald (Private Steve Gray)
SPECULATION
  • Apparently, "The actor playing Colonel Mace (The Sontaran 2 parter) is telling everybody that he is playing 'the new Brigadier'."

  • The Master will be back, and be played by John Simm - though this is speculated to be only a brief appearance, like in a flashback maybe?

  • Someone asked Noel Clarke (Mickey) if he was coming back and Noel Clarke give a non-committed, but suggestive reply.

  • Apparently DNA is the key to the series

  • Apparently the Fob Watch will make a reappearance

  • Apparently the Doctor will have to choose which companion he takes with him, and which one he leaves to die - This could be Donna? - after all CT has confirmed she's only doing one series

  • Apparently Rose WILL be in the finale but will have a new boyfriend (Not Mickey?!)

  • David Tennant is maybe doing series 5?
As of now, I think thats it... I might add some more later if I find any, but there you go. Start speculating people!

The TARDIS Diaries - Part 3

Title: The TARDIS Diaries
Summary:
Random diary entries from the ship we love so much... "I deserve respect! I'm a TARDIS! I have feelings! True, they may be somewhat distorted so that I get a bit giggly every time that I land in a forest, but feelings none the less!"


Part 3
From 'The Christmas Invasion' to 'Rise of the Cybermen'


Day 55581013:

He bleeding crashed me!!

In to a bleeding wall!

And another bleeding wall!

And a bleeding car!

And some bleeding dustbins!

Can you tell that I’m a little upset?!?

Just because I am infinitely brilliant in every possible way does not mean that he can treat me as the large lump of wood I’m disguised as! I have feelings...! True… they may be somewhat distorted so that I get a bit giggly every time that I land in a forest, but feelings none the less!

Seriously, I had real doubts whether I would like this new incarnation. But then, well, then he collapsed, and I felt it. I mean, not just sensing it, I felt it. As if it was me who was suffering. Not pleasant let me tell you.

Then Rose and the other domestic Homo sapiens went and took him away. I think they were trying to help, either that or they wanted to sacrifice him to their god and then eat him, but as far as I know the human race grew out of that by 2007

They shouldn’t have taken him away though… the Doctor’s regenerative cycle means that he needs to be in close contact with me in order to help the healing process. But to silly humans know that? No, of course not.

So, once again, I’m left on my own to entertain my bottomless well of knowledge with silly trivial games of dominos (Tetris is to fantastic to be referred to as trivial) And next thing I know there’s a giant Sycorax ship over London!

Nice…

Then Rose and Doctor and others come back, and sit in me and try to fiddle with my controls. If they had half a brain then I would have been able to tell them exactly what was wrong with the Doctor, and what was happening, and how to stop it all. But no one ever asks me!

And THEN, I’m teleported away up onto the ship. It really irks me that lesser beings think they can just bundle me about, I mean, I could have just overridden the teleport controls but… well, I’m just… far too lazy.

But it was all okay in the end; Doctor woke up and stopped it all. I like new Doctor; he’s like an extremely clever, excitable yet very evil little child. I see fun times ahead.


Day 55581015:

I’m BOOOOORED!

I know that the Doctor maybe needed a bit of time to recover… and Rose probably wanted to see her family for a bit, and they needed to get over the shock of the Sycorax since their puny human minds find it hard to deal with such things, but still…. I’m bored!

It’s been 2 days and I’m still sitting here in this parking lot… I want to go! Oh good god, I hope the Doctor hasn’t turned domestic…


Day 55581016:

No, its okay, crisis averted, we’re off.

…. Hey, New Earth! That’s nice… apart from the fact that I’ve been left on a hillside overlooking the city while the Doctor and Rose and off gallivanting about somewhere… probably canoodaling as well I shouldn’t think. Typical!

Oh… and HA for when they finally find out about the Face of Boe!


Day 55581017:

The Doctor’s playing that annoying song again… what is it with his odd fascination with humans and their appalling tastes in what they like to call music?? I’m so annoyed that I’m going to take him to the wrong century. Ha!


Day 55581018:

… I’m a little confused… Right, the Doctor and Rose are back but before that I got left on my own again. It doesn’t even matter if a drop them off in the wrong point in time and space, they still always manage to go off and have a good time without me!

And don’t try telling me that running away from a Lupine Wavelength Haemavoriform isn’t exactly a walk in the park… its better than sitting on a hill for a day and a half!

Anyway, I think silly human mind is affecting the Doctor. He came back giggling and laughing before starting to howl away.

Odd, odd time lord.


Day 55581019:

NO!

Day 55581020:

NOO!

Day 55581021:

Bloody NO!


Day 55581022:

Okay, so I might sound like a spoiled and annoying child, but I really really don’t want to go back to Earth…I'll just get left in a car park again! It to so long for me to get outta there and now they want me to go back?? No way. And there’s no point in Rose trying to sweet talk me, or the Doctor trying to talk to me via sweets (don’t ask)

I. Don’t. Want. To. Go!

Does he even understand about the incessant boredom that creeps upon me every time I land on that wretched planet? Alright, they invented Tetris, and I will love them forever for it…. And I suppose it is a sort of new home for me and the Doctor since he went and blew up our old one, but, but… but…

Ah! Fine! I’ll bleeding take them to Earth then!


Day 55581023:

So, traced the phone call of Rose’s phone to silly human boyfriend, landed all gently and neat for them, and then was left for 3 days all on my own.

I don’t know why I bother.

Oh! And then something amazing happened… I was moved a quarter of a mile east, landed in a school basement, and then was left for 3 days all on my own.

And then (this is where it actually gets good) Sarah-Jane appeared, the Doctor followed her, she paid no attention to me and wandered off again with him! And then I was left for a further day all on my own.

That was about it really… apart from when some cretin decided to blow the school up while I was still in it.

Silly idiots…

They could’ve asked me about it all. I already KNOW the Skasis paradigm!
Heh, I could rule the universe if I wanted to! But what’s the point? I’ve already seen how it ends and it’s bleak, and depressing, and they haven’t even discovered the meaning of life… which I also know.

God, I’m just too good.

But anyway, it was nice to have Sarah back, even if it was for a bit… oh, and while the Doctor was fixing K9 (stupid, loyal dog) I absorbed all the data he had collected about Earth. Not that I needed it, but it’s useful to know about little human traits… like their obsession with money and the fact that they paint their fingernails in funny colours…

What’s all that about then?!

Ah well, goodbye to Sarah and hello to Rose’s little ape friend with the low IQ… Mickey…

I think the Doctor just wanted a new pet really.


Day 55581024:

Oh, god it’s depressing...

But before that, I was in a good mood for once! I’m so glad Mickey came… he’s like a 24hour comedy outlet! He’s so foolish in everything he does… basically, he got lost and then fell into the swimming pool!

Ha!

Right… back to the depressing stuff. And I care, I really do. I know it seems I’m a tad dismissive of it all, but the Doctor was hurting. And I felt it.

Landed in this huge ship where the droids had lovingly decided to butcher the whole crew in an attempt to fix it, and then decided to to stalk a French woman. Sounds a bit creepy ey? Anyway, silly Doctor goes and gets himself involved and silly human emotions take over. Oh yep, he was smitten.

So Rose and Mickey go gallivanting off on dangerous ship where they are sure to die, Doctor goes gallivanting off into dangerous past where he could become trapped, then Doctor comes back, and goes gallivanting off on dangerous ship where he is sure to die.

Are you seeing a pattern here?

Oh! And guess what! This is the best bit… I got left on my own! Hmmm, this is odd. I never used to care about being left, it is, after all my job. I think I have picked up new Doctor’s hyper activeness.

Damn.

I suppose I shall just have to find a way of amusing myself. May take up emu farming. I bet there’s a room somewhere in me that the Doctor will never find… Or I could just play Tetris again.

Anyway, back on topic, the Doctor nearly went and got trapped in France, all because of a silly crush. That’s the thing, he gets love. Easy. No problem. But its these new human emotions that he’s getting trouble with… can’t differentiate between a crush and love. I blame the Time War.

Stupid Time War.

But its okay, Doctor came back. But he was sad, so sad, since he missed seeing his French friend again before she died. And of course he wont just hop in me and go to her. Noooo that would be a paradox and we don’t want that.

Honestly, in the old days he would have done it anyway, but I suppose… no Time Lords no stable reality anymore. Can just keep crossing time lines willy nilly.

Jeez. Why am I being so remorse and reflective? Oh, right. I’m picking up on the Doctor’s emotions. Wow. Thanks Doctor, now not only am I bored silly cause of you hyper activeness, I’m now also pensive and depressed. Great.


Day 55581026:

Ha! Okay, I’m much happier now! Silly silly Mickey! He’s been holding down that button for 29.7843 minutes! It only needed to be pressed for 7/8th of a second!

And yes, I find things much more amusing when there’s high amounts of physics or complicated numbers involved.

So anyway…

Daddy Dearest

Oh God! Insanity!
From the Daily Star:
Time Lord stunned as 'daughter' is revealed

WHO'S THE DADDY

DOCTOR Who gets a massive shock when discovers he has a daughter. The Time Lord is stunned after he lands back on Earth and meets a girl who claims he is her dad.

But all is not what it seems and the Doc eventually finds out his "daughter" has been created by aliens. They hatched a sinister plot to nick his DNA without him knowing. And, using his genes, they made the young woman themselves.

In a clever bit of casting, sexy Georgia Moffett, 23, will play the Time Lord's girl. She just happens to be the real life daughter of former Doctor Who Peter Davison, 56. A source said "It's an amazing signing."

Show bosses are lining up some sensational storylines for the BBC sci fi show - back this spring. They include a showdown with the Daleks and their evil creator Davros.

Ahhhhh!

Right. There were rumors last year that the Doctor's son was going to appear, so this could all indeed be a big pile of steaming excrement... And Emperor Fabulous on the DWF had this to say about it:

"My source indicates that is indeed the case; it's highly likely we're going to cliffhang/end oddly on ep10, then hit the revelation of Rose in ep11 and then bounce along into ep12 and 13; I'm just not hearing ANYTHING about ep9, 10 or 11 being linked to the finale episodes in any way.

P.S I have personally been assured that Georgia is not The Rani or Romana or any other pre-existing member of Time Lord society; but thats not to say she isn't playing a fake daughter used to lure him into a trap as the paper claims..."

So whats it all about then? The Doctor's hand? IT being stolen? Donna giving it away? Did the Master create this supposed daughter? Was it the hand with the red nail polish?

Oh confusion!

NEW SERIES 4!

Yay! Someone has wonderfully recorded the cinematic trailer for the forth series of Doctor Who! Hooray!

Its not the best quality, but its still new, and shiny, and exciting, and thats good enough for me!
Here we go:



So... from all this, we have:

Partners in Crime

Wilf:
What you doing sweetheart?
Donna: I'm Wandering... waiting.
Wilf: What for?
Donna: The right man... I've seen him, I've met him just once! And then... I let him fly away... If you ever see a little blue box high up there in the sky, you shout for me Gramps. Call me, just shout... I mean, he's still out there... somewhere... and I'll find him Gramps... I'll find him.
















Shots of the Doctor alone in the TARDIS, wearing his lovely glasses and looking a tad lonely.









A street at night time, the Doctor runs past and then doubles back into shot holding out a small tracker devise in front of him.










Donna in a building, standing on one side of a round window, she turns and sees the Doctor outside. In excitement, she mouths 'Doctor!' and the Doctor stares at her surprised and points to himself in confusion... To help clear the matter up, Donna points to herself with both hands and mouths 'Its me!'

















Pompeii Episode

The Doctor and Donna walking through a Roman market, everything is sandy and Romanesque.









The Doctor and Donna staring at something off camera (maybe the volcano?) Donna doesn't look to happy and the Doctor is wearing his 'oh crap' face.


More shots of the ritualistic women being creepy and ritualistic like


The Doctor staring out at the camera, shocked, with a strange, haunted expression on his face.









Planet of the Ood

Shot of giant, snow covered mountains with a mini TARDIS.


Same black clad soldiers as before, pointing a gun down at something on the ground, something that turns out to be in Ood, who turns sharply round to look at them, its eyes glowing and making a strange strangling noise.








The Doctor and Donna spinning around to look at something behind them, shocked and scared.


Sontaran Stratagem

Shot of helmeted Sontarans marching in a line with guns.


A mysterious hand rising out of green water and a shot of Martha, hair tied back and covered in slime, staring blackly forwards. (Put those together and we maybe have Martha clones?)









Donna kneeling in a dark room, there is the shadow of cell bars on one wall and she looks up in horror.









The Doctor, running through the warehouse, and rolling violently across the floor as he falls.









A strange machine claw thing that is attached to the ceiling. It strikes down towards the Doctor as he runs past.
















The Unicorn and the Wasp

Shot of inside the TARDIS, the Doctor pulls a lever and he and Donna look up at the central column. The Doctor's grinning like a loon and Donna is wearing her dress from the episode.


A giant wasp flying towards the camera and then swooping over towards Donna.










Episode 11

Rose, turning slowly and staring... a shocked and almost pained expression on her face.


Unknown episode shots

The Doctor putting on his glasses, he is in black tie and peering over a machine.


Someone (the Doctor?) getting a facefull of a white powdery substance that doesn't seem to behave that much like powder (possibly the ''bubbles" that the Haff blow??)


Donna staring out from a cage, there appears to be a green feather in her hair though I'm not positive about this...
A car drives into a river, the headlights are on and its smoking.


There we go!
Sorry about the bad picture quality... but exciting isn't it?!?

Davros...?!

Yay for finding out things... even if they may just be rumors and speculation!!!!!!!
Are ye ready for this?

Apparently Davros will indeed be in the finale, and one of the characters (no names given, but its not the Doctor) has a face off with him.

According to Zavros on the DWF - The series finale involves Dalek Caan being used by Davros to create a new Dalek army, and this is the series cliffhanger that will lead in to the Christmas Special...

He may be a good enemy for the series 4 finale but I'm thinking that hes a bit of a dark enemy for a light Christmas romp, a bit iconic perhaps? Who knows...

Excitement!
