Oh why doesn't Saturday hurry up and get here already!

*sigh*

No Fear Forecast this week =[ or at least not till after the episode.

Ah well. We've still got the exclusive script extract.

Along with this picture.

And here's the script extract =]

FRANCINE: What are all those numbers?

MARTHA stands, starts hoisting the Indigo Project

MARTHA: Grid reference. Now Jack's explained the base code, I know how this teleport works. I think. But you stay indoors, theres no Daleks on this street, you should be alright, just keep quiet.

Rumours:

Dalek Caan foretells of "everlasting death for the most faithful companion". In the season 2 finale, Rose's departure to a parallel universe is presented to the audience as her "death". Perhaps "everlasting death" implies that she will be permanently stuck in that universe. This seems very likely as there has been no indication that Billie Piper will be in the 2009 specials or the fifth series. It is possible that "everlasting death" also refers to the fact she may be permanently dead in the literal sense, as opposed to just living in a parallel universe, though this scenario seems unlikely, as photos showing Rose and the Doctor at Bad Wolf Bay suggest she survives. Though these photos may just be the first Bad Wolf Bay scene, re-shot, considering Doomsday's final scene had to be re-shot for The Runaway Bride due to a change in the cinematographers.
Davros' proclamation of turning all reality in to dust, sounds similar to what Rose did when she absorbed the time vortex. Perhaps Davros has been influenced with this.
The Doctor's perceived regeneration is actually a disguised Dalek transmat, which forms part of a plot by Davros to bring the Doctor to the Crucible as part of his wider plans, whilst leaving a genetically-engineered impostor aboard the TARDIS. (Another clue that the Doctor may not regenerate yet is the fact that River Song recognises the 10th Doctor, indicating that he meets her before he regenerates. A further clue (speculated support, not proof) would be the published list of actors to feature in the next episode - according to the BBC, it is still David Tennant Yet another, more conclusive clue, is that DT is appearing in all four specials in 2009: However the 'specials' could be an impressive misdirection to cover the fact of DT leaving the show in 2009 and there really will be a full series in 2009).
The Osterhagen key is a time machine. Martha knew it would change time completely if she used it.Harriet Jones also knows this.
Martha saves the doctor from being exterminated- Jack however may use his vortex manipulator to save the doctor.
There are rumours that Harriet Jones is imprisoned,instead of exterminated as it appeared. Possible - perhaps the Harriet Jones to Dalek rumour is still true, however she doesn't do it willingly. RTD said that a female we all know very well will die. This is likely to have been Harriet Jones, as every time she introduces herself, the response is "Yes, we know who you are". We know from the static the others received, that Jones' computer was destroyed. This does not tell us anything about what happened to her. However, Harriet Jones is not a 'faithful companion' as the prophecy predicted as the doctor was deliberately responsible for her downfall as P.M. Besides, Caan's mentioning of the companion's death is after Harriet is attacked by the Daleks.
Gallifrey is restored. Highly unlikely. Every reference to the loss of Gallifrey is that it was destroyed (or "burned"), not missing as the other planets are. In addition, all 27 missing planets were identified at the Shadow Proclamation (presumably - three of them were speculations of the Doctor's behalf). However, it could be restored like Davros, albeit at the cost of someone's sanity.
Rose dies. Unlikely, as her farewell to the Doctor and Donna has been filmed showing them at Bad Wolf Bay. However she is seen in the same clothing as Doomsday. Perhaps the Doctor takes the opportunity of the reopened fractures in time to go see Rose after she dies to finish telling her how he feels.
Donna dies. This had been foreshadowed in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, although Donna did already "die" in Turn Left. But then there was the "Sorry for your loss" line in The Stolen Earth, this could be Donna's memory loss. Another possibility ; facing death could also be intrepreted as facing the death of a person close to you. So perhaps the companion who faces death is Donna because her grandfather might die ? In that way she faces death and has a good reason to stay at home. This might also be a good explanation for the remarks about her loss.
Martha dies. Possible as the weapon she has (The Osterhagen key) is rumoured to be a suicide weapon.
Assuming the ambiguous theories of a 'Botched Regeneration' are plausible, we could be seeing an early version of the Valeyard. In The Trial Of A Time Lord, the Valeyard is seen as an incarnation of the potentially evil side of the Doctor between the twelfth and thirteenth regenerations. Though a couple of regenerations early, the "Osterhagen key" roughly translates as 'graveyard' or 'boneyard' (insults that the Sixth Doctor used against the Valeyard in 'The Trial of a Time Lord').
K-9 makes an appearance. Likely as we know Sarah Jane Smith survives, and K-9 could save her.
Donna is a Time Lady, she learns of this and travels back to the time war to ressurect the Time Lords. Then she Loses her memory or goes insane and stays on earth never knowing what has happened.
The doctor's hand is still in the jar, and is still bubbling, as we were pointedly reminded in a shot near the start of the previous episode. This could prevent him changing form, or affect the regeneration in some fashion. However, in the past it has only signalled the presence of other Time Lords.
Sylvester McCoy to make a surprise reappearance... He was interviewed as part of Doctor Who Confidential for "The Stolen Earth" in his seventh Doctor costume, whereas Peter Davison was interviewed in "Civilian" clothing, rather than his cricket gear of the fifth Doctor. - perhaps an unsubtle hint relating to a botched/inverted regeneration. We've never seen the Doctor executed by a Dalek before (or have we?), perhaps he could go back a few incarnations? Sylvester McCoy wasn't wearing any version of his 7th Doctor costume in Doctor Who Confidential, although his hat is possibly the same one (as it originally belonged to him). The block writing used for the "to be continued" at the end credits is reminiscent of Sylvester McCoy era.
Dalek Caan in the previous episode talks of the coming Doctor as the "threefold man". This could give us a clue. We may well have three doctors in this episode. Perhaps this could include the Doctor's Daughter; Jenny, as she is from the Doctor, and therefore a part of The Doctor himself. However Jenny will most likely not appear in this episode. On the other hand, Jenny did live in a time while a group known as the Time Agency existed.
In The Stolen Earth when Donna is sitting on the stairs of the Shadow Proclamation she is seen wearing a large black ring, very possibly the same ring that was the Master's. Although it is unlikely he will appear, it may have something to do with the fact that it will be Donna's last episode. The Master's ring was VERY different to the one Donna was wearing. The Master's was green, whereas Donna's was black.
When the Sub Wave network starts, there is a tone similar to that used by the Master's Archangel Network in the Series 3 finale, all possible hints at Donna having some level of involvement with The Master. The drumming sound when Donna is on the stairs is a heartbeat, possible a slight echoed beat of two hearts (unlikely), but it's not the same as the Master's beat. It was Donna's heart beating in her ears as near as I can understand.
As Sarah Jane is about to be exterminated Mickey suddenly teleports and saves her while Jackie does the same with Torchwood.
Sarah Jane, Jackie and Mickey Smith allow themselves to be captured and taken to the Crucible in order to find the Doctor. An exclusive clip on the Doctor Who website shows Sarah Jane, Mickey and Jackie being taken as hostages by the Daleks with the rest of the captured humans.
Through the regeneration process the Doctor's hand turns into another DT and one DT leaves with Rose at the end of the episode This would support the pictures on Youtube in which two photos have the Doctor(blue suit) and Rose and the Doctor(brown suit), Donna and TARDIS. Both photos show the Doctor facing different ways on what seems to be Bad Wolf Bay. Although the idea seems plausible, it would generally make bad writing or create paradoxes. Or maybe the photos take place between different points in time, so the Doctor has enough time to change his suit. Or maybe one of the photos is a publicity photo. Also, Rose is wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she said goodbye to the Doctor. Maybe the Doctor is experiencing post-regnerative trauma and reliving his worst memories, which would explain two Doctors.
It has been said from a reliable source that there will be two DT doctors except one will have a single heart. It very well maybe that one is an imposter, or his hand in the jar becomes the second and stops him from regenerating.
The Tenth Doctor will somehow be joined by two other incarnations, most likely the Ninth, and possibly the Eight or Seventh Doctors. This would mean that Chris Eccleston would make a guest appearance. If the Eight Doctor is to show up, this would most likely be Paul McGann. It's likely that this is the incarnation of The Doctor that participated in the Time War, eventually regenerating into the Ninth Doctor.
RTD has said that Sarah Jane will get to meet Davros, and also that The Doctor and Rose will finish the conversation they last held on Bad Wolf Bay. There will also be a speech from the Doctor to his companions where he tells them how much they all mean to him.
Rose Tyler is Professor River Song. It has been known for The Doctor (perhaps any Time Lord) to forget certain things from a previous regeneration, and then remember them again in the next one. It is possible that he forgets how he felt about Rose when his Eleventh incarnation occurs, but rediscovers it as she grows up and continues her adventures with him in the TARDIS, and decides to stop at some point in the 51st century.
Maria Jackson appears

ANYWAY!!!

I JUST CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!!

The Doctor's Regeneration (theory)

2008-06-29T13:17:00.000-07:00

Okay so we know the Doctor is still Mr. Tennant when hes finished regenerating, but why???

Well, I'm a BIG fan of the new series of Doctor Who, and I can't believe I DID NOT THINK OF THIS BEFORE! I had to get my sisters friend, to explain it to my sister, to explain it to me!
So the Dalek only hit the Doctor with a glancing blow,on his left hand side. So what does he do? He regenerates as we know at the end of the episode.

Lets track back to 'The Doctor's Daughter'. Jenny got shot, supposedly in the heart. And she regenerated as we can see, but she doesnt change her physical appearance. So maybe she just regenerated one of her hearts.

So we don't actually know how Dalek exterminations kill you (or at least I don't) so, we could conclude that they somehow affect your heart.

Now we all know that Time Lords have two hearts, so because the Doctor wasn't hit properly, it didn't affect him properly. So he does exactly what Jenny did and only regenerated one heart, and not regenerating properly, so his physical self is still the same.
Whether this affects the number of regenerations the Doctor has I don't know, but this seems the only plausible explanation for the reason he hasn't changed. And it doesn't explain the rumour that the Doctor splits himself into two people.

But meh.

Phwwwooooorrrrr

2008-06-29T04:04:00.000-07:00

Well that pretty much sums up this episode in one word doesnt it? As I'm writing this it's 12:10pm the following day and I still can't get the big grin off my face.

But what a corker! The Judoon, The Shadow Proclamation, DAVROS, an insane Dalek Caan (which had me in fits of giggles (I'm giggling now just thinking about it), Sarah Jane, Jack, Martha, Francine, Luke, Gwen, Ianto, The Medusa Cascade, A scared looking Milkman (who can blame him though (who scarily looked familiar to Captain John Hart.... relation to James Marsters?), and the Supreme Dalek, and even more Daleks, and oh who knows what else, all in one episode. It's like overload!!!!!

So onto the nitty gritty stuff. So we know the Doctor now knows that Miss Rose Tyler is back on her old world. Shouldn't he seem just a little bit more excited? He thought he could never see her again! Ah well. I wonder why he likes Saturdays??? *shrugs*. So... Milk van starts violently shaking. Earthquake? Train? Lorry? Don't worry, it's just the Earth being moved to the Medusa Cascade. Nothing big.

We finally know where the bees are disappearing to! I knew there was something about the bees. (even though in the real world, the bees are actually disappearing. Hopefully not because of the same reason....) And then the Doctor's being a rebel (again) and decides to leave the Shadow Proclamation to go and find the Earth, and of course every other planet (Pyrovillia, Adipose 3 and of course the Lost Moon of Poosh) and many many others. (27 to be exact)

Meanwhile Rose is walking around the streets of London with a BIG gun, and terrorises two young male's who are trying to rob a electronics store. Where she then hears the message from the Daleks (as does Torchwood and Sarah Jane and of course Martha)

And Dalek Caan's prediction 'I see death, everlasting death, for the most faithful companion.... ooo spooookkkyyyyy....
So we have Rose. She loves him, but that doesn't necassarily mean faithful does it?
And then there's Martha. She loves him, or did love him. And he didn't return the feelings, yet she still stayed with him until she had to leave him.
Donna, she realised that she'd made a mistake in turning down the Doctor's offer of travelling, and was determined to hunt him down, whether it took her 100 years or not.
And then... It came to me in a vision last night. Captain Jack. Yes I know he can't die, but Caan says 'everlasting death'. Jack does die... and it is everlasting in Gridlock or on New Earth whichever. Could Caan be looking into the Doctor's past or Jack's future???
And who's to say its a Doctor's companion? He doesnt say 'Everlasting death for the Doctor's faithful companion'. Its just a companion that dies. Does Dalek Caan as a companion to Davros? And he must be pretty faithful if he went all the way to save Davros from 'the jaws of the nightmare child'. Or would the supreme Dalek be killed?

And Donna's reaction to Captain Jack was completely different from what I thought would happen! I would half expect Donna to see through Captain Jack and all his flirtyness, but nope it's a 'ooo he's a rather tasty dish' moment. again. But Jack's flirting with Sarah Jane instead!

And at last it's the moment we've all been waiting for ever since like forever. Rose is going to find the Doctor! *Runs around room waving hands above her hands above her head screaming like she's gone loopy like Dalek Caan*
So Doctor and Donna emerge from the TARDIS into as Donna calls it 'a ghosttown'. The Doctor then asks Donna what Rose said in that parralel world. She simply says 'the darkness is coming'. and then 'what else did she say'. And then. 'Why don't you ask her yourself' and of course the Doctor looks momentarily confused as he normally does. And then it hits him like a tonne of bricks. There's Rose walking down the road with her big gun. With another BIG grin. And then she chucks the gun away and Runs. And then hes running. And it's all a big *SQEE* moment. AND THEN THAT BLASTED DALEK COMES OUT FROM BEHIND THE VAN!!! All too late Rose n the Doc realise what's going to happen. But fortunately the Dalek doesn't hit the Doctor properly and only hits his arm, but it's enough to send him to the floor.
Jack, being the hero he is, then appears out of nowhere and blasts the Dalek to kingdom come. YAY JACK. Rose is by the Doctor's side immediately.
And the conversation goes like this. (or as near as I can remember)
Rose: It's me. It missed you.
Doctor (he's clearly struggling to stay conscious): Rose...
Rose: Hi.
Doctor : Long time no see... (slips into unconsciousness)
Rose is very upset telling him he cannot die, don't die etcetera etcetera.
Donna turns up, Jack tells her and Rose to get the Doctor into the TARDIS. Put's him on the floor. Rose is still saying 'Don't die' and all this. Jack is telling her to move away cos she knows what happens next, Rose isn't budging. The Doctor's staring at his hand, and says 'It's starting."
Jack again tell's Rose to get back saying. "Rose, get back. He's dying you know what happens now,"
Donna is asking what's happening so Rose then explains the whole regenerating thing. And then... Rose says something (ive forgotten what it was) and the Doctor stands up and says...
'I'm sorry. It's too late. I'm regenerating...' and BANG! He throws his arms and lo and behold the orange stuff(what else do you call it??) appears just like in the ninth/tenth regerneration and the Master's regeneration.
And then it says ' TO BE CONTINUED' in big BIG letters. AND THERE'S NO SNEAKY PREVIEW FOR THE FINAL EPISODE!!! Talk about a cliff hanger.
But... Tennant hasn't left our Doctor Who hearts yet.... oh no. This regeneration goes wrong (as it usually does) and he's still the skinny geeky looking big haired loveable Time Lord he's been for three years. (Thank you). So what happened there???

I guess we'll just have to wait and find out....

So. Fear Forecast. (The uncut Version)

0 min
The kids settle down excitedly with a pile of TV snacks. Doctor and Donna are back on Earth... and everything looks OK. The kids look in vain for signs of 'Bad Wolf'. 'I like Saturdays,' says the Doctor. "That's because Doctor Who is on telly," says Samuel. "I don't think it works like that," says Adam.

1 min
The milkman's bottles are rattling. "Something's gonna happen," says Harry excitedly. "Milk shake?" suggests Adam. But it's bigger than that... the Earth has vanished!

2 min
"Hey, that's Jack's voice!" says Harry. "No, I think it's someone else with an American accent," advises Dad, to Harry's disappointment. But look, there's Martha! "Ooh! UNIT HQ is in New York!" says Samuel. The kids grin. And then... "Jack!" they yell with surprise. "They've even got Torchwood!" shouts Samuel in delight.

3 min
"...and Sarah Jane! And Luke!" The kids cheer and applaud. They can't believe it. 'It felt like some kind of cross-dimensional special transference,' explains Luke. "Yeah, right," notes Adam. Mr Smith appears! More cheers from the kids. Then we see Wilf and Sylvia, too. Amy's delighted - all her favourite characters are back!

4 min
Even the reappearing milkman gets a cheer! And finally... "Rose!" They yell simultaneously. As the titles roll, Amy asks if Mickey will be back, too? Dad shrugs his shoulders and Amy crosses her fingers tightly. The kids laugh with delight as the titles whizz past with so many familiar names! "The Stolen Earth," notes Adam, "that says it all."

5 min
"They're not dead," Amy reassures Donna, as the Doctor's companion fears for her family. "Yes, we've seen them," adds Adam. Then the Doctor decides to visit the Shadow Proclamation... "Woohoo!" cheers Samuel.

6 min
The family enjoy the amusing cameos of Richard Dawkins and Paul O'Grady. Amy points at Jack's 'new' friends, Gwen and Ianto. "Who are they?" she wonders. "Torchwood, I think," decides Harry. Samuel and Adam love to mimic the supposed banter between Gwen and her husband: "Oh, Gwen! Oh, Rhys!"

7 min
'Someone wants the human race alive... that's a plus,' reveals Ianto. "You bet!" grins Adam. "This is immense!" Samuel boggles. "Soooo good!" What's that red blip on everybody's monitor screens? "That's the TARDIS," proclaims Amy confidently. But it isn't... it's 200 objects coming into orbit.

8 min
"That's not very safe," says Samuel as a car and a drunk reel past Rose on the streets. "That's a Saturday night, all right," notes Adam in a droll tone. "Why bother stealing something if it's the end of the world?" Samuel wonders. But the kids love Rose's confidence, and laugh as she scares off two looters with her big gun!

9 min
Gramps is fretting about where Donna is. "Awwww!" says Samuel, moved by Wilf's distress. Samuel laughs when Jack tells Martha about the soldier in a bar: "Haha! Ianto's jealous!"

10 min
The kids are still debating what the red blip on the screen is. "It's Daleks," says Harry. "TARDIS!" insists Amy. Until... "EX-TER-MI-NATE! EX-TER-MI-NATE!" rasps a disturbingly familiar voice. Harry's triumphant. "Told you!" he says. Jack and Sarah are looking terrified, which shocks Adam and Samuel. "Why don't they just defeat them?" Amy shrugs blithely, "Amy, the Daleks are almost indestructible!" Harry yells, and looks on, anxiously. Samuel pushes his plate away: "I can't eat, I'm so nervous." Mum stares at him in amazement.

11 min
The huge Dalek ship fills the London sky, and the kids gasp in amazement. They gasp even more as swarms of spaceships swoop down towards the Earth. And now here are the Daleks! The kids edge closer to the TV screen. 'Ladies and gentlemen, we are at war!' says UNIT's General Sanchez. "Hey, that's what Jack said in Parting of the Ways, remember?" says Harry.

12 min
The Supreme Dalek appears... and now a whole crowd of flying Daleks! The kids eyes are popping out of their heads.

13 min
The TARDIS arrives at the Shadow Proclamation. "Coooool!" smiles Samuel. And there's another surprise. "Judoon!" yell the kids. The kids find the Doctor's conversation with the Judoon hilarious. "Mah-ho!" repeat the kids delightedly. "Hey, 24 worlds taken from the sky?" asks Samuel. "They said 27 before." Then the names of the missing planets are revealed. "Callufrax!" yells Dad, and the kids look at him strangely.

14 min
The kids love it when Donna stands her ground before the Shadow Architect. And they get more and more excited as names familiar to them get mentioned. Pyrovillia... Adipose 3... but what else is missing? Harry thinks hard. "Oooh! Oooh! I know! The lost moon of Poosh!" Adam nods: "Yes, that was mentioned on Midnight." And Harry's right! "Yesssss!" he says, punching the air in triumph.

15 min
"They're attacking the Valiant!" yells Samuel. And Martha is being taken away to Project Indigo. "Better do as he says," suggests Adam.

16 min
UNIT are fighting the Daleks! "There's no point," says Harry sadly, and he shakes his head at the ineffectiveness of the humans' weapons. Project Indigo is being opened, and hand-wheels whirl. "They need more men for those," says Adam. Samuel is trying to work out what INDIGO could be an anagram of. The others shush him.

17 min
General Sanchez gives Martha the Osterhagen Key. The kids go: "Ooooooh!" and then look at each other. The General bravely faces the oncoming Daleks. "A hand gun?" sighs Adam. "That's a bit rubbish." He has a think. "Or a bit brave." The kids gasp as Martha disappears! They listen in dismay as Jack explains what Indigo is, and speculate on where Martha could have gone.

18 min
Emerging from the darkness is a sinister figure... "Davros!" yells Harry, and sits bolt upright. Dalek Caan!" shouts Samuel, bouncing up and down on the sofa. "There he is!"

19 min
Donna sits helplessly on the stairs. The Albino Servant that gives her some water is less than reassuring! "Why has she got red eyes?" asks Samuel. "She can see things," suggests Adam. "Stop telling her the future!" grumbles Samuel.

20 min
What are the odd things happening on Earth that the Doctor needs to be aware of. The kids shout at the screen: "Bees! The bees! Bzzzz!!" Donna and the doctor twig at last. "Yeaaahh!" shout the kids.

21 min
The Doctor and Donna rush to the TARDIS and set off to find the Earth. "Look at that bed of needles," says Adam curiously as they race past it. They whoop with delight as the Doctor escapes the Shadow Proclamation.

22 min
The Daleks round up 'the males, the female, the descendents...' "Daleks can't tell the difference between boys and girls," notes Adam. "Well, have you seen Dalek Caan?" asks Dad. "Shush Dad," say his kids. Out on the street, a different Dad bravely defies the Daleks. Bad move.

23 min
"MAXIMUM EX-TER-MINATION!" The house blows up, and Amy bites her lower lip. "Oh, wow!" murmurs Samuel. Wilf hits a Dalek with his paint gun. Bullseye! The kids cheer. "Wahey!" says Samuel. "Wait... oh no!" The paint's melting away! The kids don't understand why Dad laughs when the Dalek announces that its vision is "not impaired"! Donna's family are in danger... there's another great cheer as Rose blows up the Dalek!

24 min
Rose is at the Nobles' house, while the TARDIS is in The Medusa Cascade. "Where's that?" asks Samuel. "He keeps mentioning it," adds Adam. "Did he say he was 19 or 90?" asks Amy, amazed at the Doctor's age. "How old is he now?" she boggles.

25 min
The kids are dismayed. Everyone but Donna is giving up... even the Doctor! Donna claps her hand to her mouth. The kids do the same.

26 min
Someone's trying to get through. Harry struggles hard to remember whose voice it is... and then she's revealed: "It's Harriet Jones!" The kids are delighted!

27 min
"I know who you are," says Jack and everyone laughs. Another big laugh when Wilf explains why he's not allowed a webcam. The kids bounce on the sofa with excitement when they all appear together in a video conference. Ooh... there's space for someone else bottom right," points out Samuel. "That'll be Rose!" Rose thinks so, too. But it's....

28 min
Martha! The kids all cheer to see she has turned up at her Mum's house! More laughs when Jack flirts with Sarah! And Rose's frustration as she listens in on the conference.

29 min
"Mr Copper! I remember him!" grins Samuel. "The lovely Mr Copper!" smiles Mum.

30 min
Harriet explains her plan. The band of heroes lean closer to their screens. The kids lean closer to the TV! There's a plan to call to the Doctor... "What was the Doctor's number?" worries Samuel, who's a dab hand with mobile phones. "I hope Martha's got it saved in her address book."

31 min
Jack salutes Harriet and work begins to send the signal... The kids are grinning wildly at the screen.

32 min
Samuel: "There it is!" Harry calls out the Doctor's number as it appears on the screen: "0770 900 461! Can we call it?" A big cheer from the kids as the Torchwood tower begins to transmit! And whoops of delight as the phone rings in the TARDIS! The Doctor can't hear anyone talking. "Should have sent him a text!" groans Samuel.

33 min
Everyone's calling the Doctor and hoping he answers... But the Daleks are alerted. And someone's lurking in the shadows: "Davros!" whispers Samuel. But then: "Aagh!" shouts Samuel. "The TARDIS is on fire!

34 min
Harriet hands over control to Torchwood. She asks Jack to tell the Doctor he chose his companions well. "She should count as a companion," decided Samuel. The Daleks burst in. "Shame," says Samuel, "that's a nice home." They know who she is, which causes a nervous smile from the kids. The Daleks fire and her corner of the conference call screen goes blank. Amy asks, "Now she's gone, can't they put Rose on the screen?"

35 min
The Doctor answers and sees all his friends! More cheers! 'Who's that boy?' asks the Doctor. "Sarah Jane's son, she just told you!" answers Adam. "Weren't you listening?" 'Everyone except Rose,' says the Doctor. "Awwwww!" say the whole family.

36 min
It's Dalek Caan! And he's not looking at all well. "He's gone loony!" diagnoses Harry.

37 min
Davros is revealed! The kids look upon his twisted features with horrified curiosity. Caan chips in as Davros is speaking. "Is Caan singing?" asks Amy, wrinkling her nose. "No, he's just a crazy old Dalek!" decides Harry. "Hey look," notes Adam, "Davros's Daleks don't have sink plungers."

38 min
Davros reveals his chest. "Eurrrrrrrrgh!" says the kids, and recoil in disgust. They are excited as the Doctor escapes in the TARDIS.

39 min
Caan predicts 'everlasting death for the most faithful companion.' "Oh," says Samuel sadly, "that's Rose." Harry is watching what Jack and Martha do with their transport devices, and makes a note of the numbers '4' and '9'. "Ha!" laughs Adam. "He's fixed it!"

40 min
Jack teleports away from the Hub. "Don't leave them!" shouts Samuel. The Daleks are in Torchwood. "Set the weevils loose," suggests Adam. Sarah Jane says a sad farewell to Luke, and races off in her car. "Did she put her seatbelt on?" wonders Adam. "More importantly," asks Samuel, "is that a Dalek-proof car?"

41 min
Rose contacts control and sets off too. "Maybe that was Mickey," suggests Samuel. "Or Ricky

42 min
The Doctor sees Rose! The kids watch with eager anticipation, awaiting the moment when they're finally together. They're running towards each other. "Nothing can stop them now!" grins Samuel. But he's spoken to soon. There's a Dalek on the street! "Watch out!" yells Samuel. And it fires! And IT'S HIT THE DOCTOR!!! The kids are aghast! "Noooooooooooo!" wails Harry! And even more aghast as the preview disc abruptly stops!

43 min
To Be Continued says the screen. "That was very, very good!" says Samuel, still stunned. "Even better than last week!" agrees Adam. "Does that mean there'll be an eleventh Doctor next time?" wonders Amy...

Next Time...
Next week's blockbuster finale to Series Four is so top secret that we're not publishing the Fear Forecast until after transmission. Stay tuned to find out what our fearless foursome thought!

So We Won't Even Have Any Clues As To What Happens On Wednesdays =(

Darn You BBC!

Well that's enough rambling from me for today.
And with the Doctor's words
'I Have Only One Thing To Say To You. Bye!'

Oh No! The Earth's Been Stolen!

2008-06-25T07:43:00.000-07:00

Finally Wednesday which means more teasing as the BBC release a jigsaw, an exclusive script extract and another exclusive clip.(all of which can be seen here). All of which leaves me too excited for words!

Okay, so if you live in the UK then you can actually do the jigsaw yourself, if you live outside the UK, then you can see the picture and the script extract here, without having to the jigsaw ( I was determined to complete it and decided that it was more important than the school sports day. (didnt matter, I was only going to show moral support) but anyway.

And then that revealed the Script Extract which is:

The Doctor: There's no readings. Nothing. Not a trace. Not even a whisper. Ohh that's fearsome technology.

Donna: So what do we do?

The Doctor: We've got to get help.

Donna: Where from?

The Doctor: Donna I'm taking you to the shadow proclamation. Hold tight!

Oo im happy to see that Jack, Gwen and not forgetting Ianto will be making quite a large appearance (or so it seems) in this episode, and possibly the next. I only wish Tosh and Owen were there as well =(
Plus Martha's back. Again. *Woodles*
Yep I Still Love Martha. But I Love Rose More.
WOOOOPPPPPPP
Roll On Next Saturday!!!

BAD WOLF!

2008-06-21T12:38:00.000-07:00

It's Official Rose Tyler Is Back!!!

Okay I Couldn't Do Much Screaming On This One As Was At A Friends Barbecue And They'd Kindly Let Me Take Control Of Their TV For An Hour.

HO HO HO HO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What a cracker!!!!!

I was walking home from said barbecue and could not stop grinning. Really.

And does the whole Bad Wolf thing mean that the Doctor knows Rose is coming back? Or that he knows it's the Daleks? Maybe it's both?

It's also nice to see a different side to Rose. RTD was right, she's definately grown up a hell of a lot. But it's still nice to know that she loves the Doctor!!!!
I also loved the quote 'has really great hair, I mean reeeeeeeeeeeealy great hair'. Made me chortle.
And the whole Donna's going to die??? Well that's just too exciting for words!!!
I don't know.
And again it was nice to see another sort of old face again, Chipo Chung (Chantho, Utopia, Series Three) was back this time playing the mysterious fortune teller and not Captain Mugambo as I thought.
Commader Harris was indeed there, but thankfully wasn't hypnotised as the Sontarans hadn't taken control of him yet.

And poor old Martha, Sarah Jane, Luke Maria and Clive?? was it, dying in the hospital. It would have been interesting if they were their when the Doctor was actually there. Could have been a smashing 'What the hell are you doing here' kinda moment. Like Donna all over again. But different.
Hmm anyway.

Oo Im just too excited that Rose is finally back properly with her name in the opening titles (or Billie Piper has anyway) at last.

Also, when their shooting at the Racnoss web... no 'orders from Mr. Saxon. Fire at will'. Evidently because the Doctor died before he could go to the end of the universe.
and Adipose in America.
oo am too pumped with Adrenalin to wait for next week!
Its going to be MAYHEM!!!!!

Fear Forecast For Turn Left

2008-06-18T04:52:00.000-07:00

[Full Fear Forecast for Turn Left]

0 min
The story opens as we pan down to a bustling marketplace on the planet Shan Shen. Mum and Adam think it looks like a BBC One ident! Samuel wonders whether the Channel 4 logo will appear in all the flags and banners. Amy tells them to shush!

1 min
"They're drinking lager!" laughs Samuel. "Too creamy," Adam tells his brother. 'Tell your fortune, lady?' invites the Fortune Teller. "Donna shouldn't have gone in," warns Harry, sagely.

2 min
As Donna recalls working at HC Clements, something scuttles up behind her. Amy's eyes widen in alarm...

3 min
'What was the moment?' asks the Fortune Teller. The thing scuttles closer to Donna... "A spider!" shudders Adam. "A bug! Ewww!" grimaces Samuel.

4 min
So Donna turned left... but now there's something on her back! And the Fortune Teller is insisting that she should turn right! Harry, amazed, tries to take it all in...

5 min
Donna turned right! As the titles crash in, the kids excitedly exchange ideas about what's just leapt on Donna. "It could be a Cybermat!" suggests Harry, who's been watching Dad's old videos recently.

6 min
'Merry Xmas Everybody!' The kids are puzzled, Donna seems out of danger... but, as one of her colleagues notices, there's still something on her back! The kids are tense, and cannot understand when the Boat Show reference makes Dad giggle and Mum slaps his arm.

7 min
An 'Xmas Star'! "Oooh! Oooh! I remember that!" cries Harry. "Hang on, Donna should be on that shouldn't she?" "Watch out for the zaps!" warns Adam, just before they rain down from the sky on the unfortunate Londoners.

8 min
Alice is staring at whatever is on Donna's back. "Donna should just lie down," suggests Adam. The 'Star' is destroyed and UNIT begins to clear up the disaster zone. "Orders of Mr Saxon," remembers Adam. But there's a body... it's the Doctor! And he's dead! The kids don't believe it, and exchange astonished glances. "That's freaky," decides Samuel.

9 min
Rose! She came so far... The boys cheer. Amy is reassured by the familiar face. But then Rose vanishes. The boys gasp. "Pick up the sonic screwdriver!" Adam tells Donna. "She doesn't know what it is," Samuel tells him.

10 min
Donna's been sacked by Mr Chowdry! And she's not taking it well. Cliff's reaction makes the family guffaw. But then...

11 min
BOOM! Outside, it's raining upwards. "Oh yeah, Judoon!" recalls Harry. "Martha!" grins Samuel in anticipation.

12 min
The details of the terrible incident are revealed on the news. There was only one survivor. "But... but... more people survived than that, didn't they?" insists Harry. Then we learn that Martha died on the Moon, and Amy is appalled.

13 min
'There's keen eyes up there, and they're watching us, and they're not friendly,' says Gramps. "He should get a job at UNIT," suggests Samuel. But there's even more bad news. Sarah Jane, Maria, Luke and Clyde all perished too! The kids listen on in shock and astonishment. "They're killing everyone off!" wails Samuel. "Where are Torchwood?"

14 min
Rose meets up with Donna again. "Why can't we see what's on Donna's back?" demands Amy. "There's that music again," observes Samuel, who has been practising it on his guitar.

15 min
Rose suggests that Donna uses the raffle ticket to leave the city next Christmas. Harry thinks hard, trying to remember what happened before... Rose won't tell Donna her name. "Perhaps saying 'Rose' makes her disappear?" ponders Adam.

16 min
'Merry Xmas Everybody!' The kids laugh at Wilf's antlers. The kids relax as Sylvia enjoys breakfast in bed and the Noble family enjoys a Happy Christmas.

17 min
As the maid enters, there's breaking news on the TV. The maid sees something on Donna's back... "It's a giant spider!" declares Amy. "What's she saying, Adam?" demands Samuel. "You're doing Spanish at school!" But Adam is solemnly watching the news report: "Uh-oh."

18 min
The Titanic is falling to Earth! Harry and Amy laugh, remembering how the Doctor saved the day... but are horrified when, instead of heading back up, the ship crashes into Buckingham Palace! "No Doctor," whispers Samuel. "No Kylie," whispers Dad.

19 min
The whole family sit in stunned silence as a huge mushroom cloud erupts over London.

20 min
The Nobles are relocated to a street in Leeds. "That looks like when Martha met the Master," suggests Harry. "What about the Adipose?" asks Adam. "And the Toclafane," says Samuel. "No Mr Saxon," explains Adam, "because they never found the Master out in space."

21 min
Mr Santo welcomes the Nobles to their new home. "Looks a bit small," says Amy, ever practical. Samuel has decided that he likes the cheerful Italian man.

22 min
Sixty million dead in the USA! Suddenly, the Adipose don't seem quite so cute. Adam: "Oh, no!" Samuel wants to know why Britain isn't affected. "The country is in poverty," Adam explains.

23 min
Sylvia's depressed. Donna tries to cheer her up, but to no avail. Amy looks sad for both of them. "What is it about the bees?" asks Samuel. "Hey, that woman in Donna's office was called Bea! It was on her stapler!"

24 min
Donna gives 'Mussolini' a piece of her mind... and then sees Gramps is joining in with the singing! Harry laughs as Donna joins in with Bohemian Rhapsody. Adam and Samuel sing along. But then all the kids are startled by the sound of gunfire from outside.

25 min
The ATMOS cars are belching out their poisonous fumes. "Sontarans!" shouts Harry. "Oh yeah!" remembers Samuel. But another, closer, danger makes the kids tense up... 'Turn around!' orders the UNIT trooper. Donna obeys, but there's nothing to be seen. And now there's a lightning flash in the street. "Rose!" yells Samuel.

26 min
BOOM! The sky's ablaze. "Torchwood!" grins Adam expectantly. Then Rose explains to Donna how Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones gave their lives to save the Earth. "Who are they?" asks Amy. "Hey, what about Owen?" asks Samuel. "He's dead already," explains Adam sadly. Even Captain Jack Harkness has transported to the Sontaran home world. Harry shakes his head in dismay.

27 min
'I used to be you,' says Rose to Donna. "No she didn't!" says Amy, not quite understanding what Rose meant. 'Great hair,' Rose continues, and Harry rolls his eyes. And then... "Oooh! The Racnoss!"

28 min
What's coming? 'The Darkness,' says Rose. "I believe in a thing called loooove," sings Samuel. The others shush him. Harry's surprised to discover that Donna Noble is the most important woman there's ever been.

29 min
The kids grin when Donna and Rose score points off each other. And then: "You're gonna die..." The kids gawp in horror.

30 min
Mr Santo's family are saying their goodbyes to the Nobles. "He's King of the Optimists," says Adam. The kids realise that despite the smiles, something Very Bad is happening. It's Mum and Dad's turn to be horrified.

31 min
Donna demands to know where the Santos are being taken, but to no avail. "Where are they going?" Samuel insists. Adam looks solemn: "Have you heard about the Holocaust?" Samuel thinks about this for a moment: "Oh."

31 min
Poor Sylvia has given up on life. She can't even reassure her own daughter. Mum and Dad find it heartbreaking.

32 min
Donna and Wilf chat on the hillside. It's almost like old times. The kids perk up a bit. Until...

33 min
The stars are going out! Adam and Samuel goggle. "That's the bit from the trailer," whispers Harry. And Donna's ready to go with Rose.

34 min
"She's going to UNIT!" grins Samuel, delighted. "Look! There's the TARDIS!" The kids like Captain Magumbo. Donna is shown the TARDIS and goes inside. "It's probably a bit wet," thinks Adam. The kids are delighted at Donna's reaction!

35 min
The TARDIS is dark; it looks like it's dying. The boys look glum.

36 min
Rose explains to Donna about the thing on Donna's back. "Do you want to see it?" asks Rose. "Yes!" says Samuel. "I'm not so sure," says Adam. Amy's not certain either, and clutches a cushion just in case.

37 min
"It's a giant beetle!" grimaces Adam. Harry's fascinated: "Cool!" Samuel is impressed, too: "I want a rucksack like that!" "Oh no!" wails Mum, shrinking into the sofa, "it's horrid!"

38 min
Poor Donna is terrified; Amy helplessly looks at her in concern. The boys are shocked by Donna's reaction.

39 min
Captain Magumbo offers something to combat dehydration. "It's a glass of water!" shouts the whole family delightedly.

40 min
"We're just guessing," admits Rose, and Harry slaps his forehead in exasperation. Adam and Samuel laugh.

41 min
The kids are shocked as Rose conspicuously fails to reassure Donna as she's sent back in time... "I think I'd just smile and not tell her," suggests Samuel.

42 min
She made it! But she's half a mile away! "Run then!" yell Adam and Samuel. The kids are on the edge of their seats, willing her on.

43 min
Donna runs... but she's not going to make it! Harry yells encouragement: "Come on! Come on!!!"

44 min
Donna's in the car... and she's still turning right! But then her older self has an idea. "Oh no!" shouts Samuel, "don't do it!" Donna ignores him, and walks in front of a truck. Harry puts in head in his hands. Adam and Samuel fidget in agitation. Amy stares at the screen, mouth agape. Donna's dying! Rose has two words for her. "I bet they're 'She's baaaack!'" says Samuel.

45 min
Donna in the car turns left... The family cheer! And suddenly Donna's back in the Fortune teller's tent, the beetle lying helpless on the floor. "I think everything's all right again," suggests Harry, cautiously. "Tread on it!" shouts Adam. "Oh that's such a boy reaction!" groans Mum. "Squish it!" insists Samuel, "and give that fortune teller a slap while you're there."

46 min
The Doctor studies Donna closely and suggests there's too much coincidence involved in their relationship. The boys nod. "Can the Doctor see Rose now?" pleads Amy, hopefully.

47 min
Donna remembers what Rose said. "Bad Wolf!" Harry jumps up from the sofa! "Oh no, not Bad Wolf!" he yells excitedly. "What's Bad Wolf?" asks Amy, not remembering the story from half a lifetime ago. "You remember, Amy! It means that the Daleks are coming!" explains her brother. "Look at the Doctor's reaction!" says Samuel.

48 min
And Bad Wolf is everywhere! "Better than the Channel 4 logo!" decides Samuel. 'It means the end of the Universe!' declares the Doctor. Amy tries to be helpful: "Can't they just stay in space?" The kids chatter animatedly: "The universe has gone mental! Smart! Freaky! A really good one! One of the best EVER!"

Here's the TV trailer =]

Turn Left. Story Notes and Rumours [SPOILERS]

2008-06-17T11:18:00.000-07:00

STORY NOTES

This episode deals with what would have happened if Donna had never met the Doctor, or if she had never chosen to travel with him. So it's set in a different time line [maybe explains why Rose is wearing the same clothes she was wearing in Partners In Crime]. So Racnoss, Judoon Invasion and Professor Lazarus all happen again in this episode, but with different consequences.
In the next time trailer after Midnight, we see the Doctor is dead (or is he???) as a U.N.I.T soldier [looking suspiciosuly similar to Commander Harris from Sontarem Stratagem and The Poison Sky [does this mean that never happened, or at least hasn't happened yet?] He speaks into his walkie talkie stating 'Found a body, sir. The Doctor is dead'. The Doctor's hand is then shown from falling out from underneath a red blanket as he is carted off on a stretcher. (he is also wearing his 'unlucky black suit' [From looking at the exclusive clip from the Doctor Who website, it is actually from when he fought a 'red spider' [only red spider he has fought is the Racnoss, it also mentions Thames flood barrier] So, if he dies here, does this mean that Martha is no longer with us, or at some point, will die? Smith and Jones happened after this. With no Doctor to save the hospital, did she suffocate or was she shot by a Judoon?
This is the first story to feature Rose in the capacity of 'companion' since Doomsday
Lucius Pextrus Dextrus [Fires of Pompeii] states that 'she is returning' while he is looking into the future. This could be a reference to Rose, however if Harriet Jones is also returning, although it is unlikely he could have meant her.
Chipo Chung was last seen as Chantho in Utopia, she returns, but this time in Human form! (supposedly as Captain Magambo)
As said before, this is the Doctor lite episode [Blink, Love and Monsters], but with a much MUCH bigger and darker storyline
A reference to something on Donna's back was last heard in Fire's of Pompeii [again stated by Lucius Pextrus Dextrus]. This is a back story arc as it hasn't been mentioned since.
In DWM [Doctor Who Magazine] Donna recieves a free tarot card reading and will find out something bad is going to happen. When she is recieving it there will also be something behind her, lurking in the curtains. The tarot person will also look for a specific event in Donna's past [Runaway Bride??]
Part of this episdoe was filmed in China Town, but a replicated version in Cardiff, and not the one in London.

Rumours

Davros may be seen in the last few minutes of this episode
Rose is able to cross worlds because the Torchwood on her universe has developed the technology
Harriet Jones will appear in this episode or the next, most likely because in this time line was was never suceeded by Harold Saxon
DWM also states that Rose might not be on Donna's side to start with. She may have her new worlds interest at heart
We see flashbacks of Donna before Runaway Bride
The thing on Donna's back is a Time Beetle
Maybe, Rose appears to Donna as a dream and guides her, as the Doctor did in Doomsday to her world [there are pictures of Rose on a beach [not specifically Bad Wolf Bay] However there are pictures of the Doctor, Donna, Rose and the TARDIS, so this is unlikely]
The mastermind of the ill fate that happens to Donna in this episode will be familiar to fans of one of the Doctor Who spinoff shows [Torchwood. There have been references to the Darkness, in series one there were many references to 'something coming out off the darkness'. Whether this has been interlinked with the Story Arc for Doctor Who is questionnable, or it could have been referring to Abaddon. However, although Abaddon has been defeated there have been references to the Darkness in series 2. Sarah Jane Smith, the only monster I can think of that I know has been in both DW and SJA is the Slitheen, as being seventeen, I don't usually watch SJA. But Somehow I don't think the Slitheen can pull off something as big as this...]

Journey's End [SPOILERS]

2008-06-17T11:04:00.000-07:00

So the synopsis for this episode hasn't been released yet, but I can give you a few rumours. [If you want to read them anyway]

Dalek Caan seeks down Davros and uses him to make a new Dalek empire
Davros's second in command as a Red Dalek Supreme, rumoured to be Dalek Caan upgraded or a mutated Harriet Jones
Donna will be shot at the end of this episode as she is leaving at the end of this series [From other rumours, Donna leaves because she loses her memory and forgets about the Doctor]
The Doctor becomes trapped in the Medusa Cascade and Rose, Donna, Martha, Mickey Captain Jack, Sarah Jane must try to save him
In a shock development the Red Dalek casing opens to reveal Harriet Jones as mother to all the new Daleks
Martha Jones joins Captain Jack at Torchwood [Possible, as reports show Martha and Mickey leaving with Jack at the end of the episode. Also it is known that as of Exit Wounds, Jack needs a medic to replace Owen Harper.]
Mickey joins Torchwood [replacing Toshiko?]

Also. In the cast notes, it is said k9 [ WOOPEDOOPDOOPDOOOP] (voice played by John Leeson.

Also it says DAVROS : Matthew Gamble.

New Episode!!!! [contains SPOILERS. Beware]

2008-06-17T10:47:00.000-07:00

So the BBC have finally released the name of the twelth episode of the series. After claiming that ' it gave too much away'.

and well, let's face it 'The Stolen Earth' pretty much does give the whole thing away...

Synopsis

The Doctor's secret army of allies comes together to defend the Earth from the new Dalek Empire. With battles raging on the streets and in the sky, the Doctor and Donna confront the Shadow Proclamation to find the truth; however, a fearsome old enemy waits in the shadows.

This is also marks the reunion between the Doctor and Rose, right at the very end, as said by Russell T Davies [see interview].

Rumours

This episode is set to feature DAVROS. [we know it's Daleks, and there have been pictures of a new and improved Davros circulating the Internet]
Captain Jack, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane Smith and K9 [Yayness at k9] have all rumoured to be returning [there are pictures of everyone of them except k9 =[ ]
Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones may also appear when Captain Jack is reuinted with the Doctor
Daleks invade UNIT
A red Dalek appears [Pictures On Youtube Confirm this]
Harriet Jones makes a return [either inside a normal Dalek or inside the Red Dalek]
The Ninth/Eight Regeneration is explained [This could be interesting]
Gallifrey is restored. [Most liklely because RTD wants to undo all that he's done to allow the new producer (Stephen Moffat) for more storylines. Or something like that]
The Sontarans return and start a war with the Daleks [Commander Harris (he was hypnotised by the Sontarans in Episode 4/5 and was thought to have been shot, but he is in the 'Next Time' trailer for Turn Left. [NOTE: we didn't actually see Harris getting shot. We just naturally assumed he was because he wasn't needed]
The TARDIS is on fire [This was confirmed in the Series trailer]

Also. Richard Dawkins is featuring in this episode as him self. Richard Dawkins is the husband Of Lalla Ward, who coincidently played Romana II in the classic series.

Fear Factor For Midnight

2008-06-17T10:42:00.001-07:00

Courtesy of the BBC Doctor Who Website.
(Note: I'm v. jealous of this family. Whoever they are. They get to watch the episodes on a Tuesday. Humph)
Anyway. This family. Mainly the Kids, present a minute by minute sort of commentary type thing for our amusement (its well worth a read)

0 min
The planet Midnight. It looks stunning! The kids marvel at the futuristic Leisure Palace.

1 min
'What could possibly go wrong?' asks the Doctor. Harry slaps his forehead - "Something always goes wrong, doesn't he realise that by now?!" Samuel grins: "Wait and see, Doctor!"

2 min
"It's like when we went on the plane!" notes Amy, as the stewardess hands out complimentary items. Harry's trying to work out where danger might lie... "I bet those peanuts are gonna explode." "Might not," frowns Amy, optimistically. She quickly decides she likes Professor Hobbes and Dee Dee, but is unsure about the rest of the Doctor's company...

3 min
Harry's undeterred: "And slippers! I bet that... er... the Doctor's gonna have to wear the slippers!" Amy gives him a funny look. Jethro is grumpy: "He's like you, Adam!" laughs Samuel. Adam looks grumpily at his brother.

4 min
'Do it, do it again! Do it, do it again with love!' Harry looks on amused: "Is that a real song, Dad?" And then: "Those are really, really old cartoons," declares Amy. "There's too much going on," says Harry.

5 min
The Doctor sonics off the noise, to everyone's relief. And 98 kliks later, the passengers are having a great time talking. Amy's not amused by the 'virtual pool' story. Meanwhile Harry has other concerns: "What's a 'klik'?" he asks.

6 min
150 kliks later and the Doctor's talking to Dee Dee about the Lost Moon of Poosh. "Maybe this isn't a dangerous adventure after all," suggests Amy, hopefully.

7 min
Sky and the Doctor talk of the girls they left behind. "That was Rose," Harry reminds his sister. "I know!" she replies, rolling her eyes. And a tough decision - is it chicken or beef? "Chicken, I think," decides Harry. "It's both!" laughs Samuel.

8 min
Hobbes explains about the mysterious planet of Midnight. Adam laughs and points at the slideshow: "That's what they're teaching us at school, Dad!" he grins. And then... the vehicle has stopped! The kids seem unconcerned.

9 min
The Doctor goes to have a word with driver Joe and Claude. Harry questions of the driver's competence: "He doesn't know where his controls are!"

10 min
The kids look in wonder at the view outside the ship. Adam whistles in amazement.

11 min
Claude has spotted something! The kids look hard, peering closer at the screen, but they can't see anything... Amy chews her finger nervously. Groans from the kids as the view disappears.

12 min
Dee Dee and the Doctor reassure the passengers that they're not running out of air. "Everyone's too smart on this plane," decides Samuel. But the atmosphere is getting tense, and the kids can sense that something BAD is going to happen soon...

13 min
BANG! BANG! 'Knock knock...' 'Who's there...?' The kids are frozen in anticipation. "Oh no..." says Adam. "I bet he's glad he's left Donna behind."

14 min
The Doctor uses his stethoscope. "Can it get in?" whispers Amy, clutching a cushion.

15 min
'It' answered the Doctor's knocks! And now it's coming for Sky! Harry's taking no chances, and manoeuvres himself behind the sofa! "It's like Snakes on a Plane," says Samuel. Dad eyes him suspiciously. "I saw the advert," explains Samuel. "Monsters on a plane!" mutters Adam.

16 min
BOOOOM! There's an explosion... and for a few seconds, the TV screen changes! "Rose!" yells Samuel. "Like before!" shouts Adam. But Harry and Amy are too concerned about what else is happening to say anything...

17 min
The seats have been ripped up and Sky has her head in her hands. The cabin door is opened... but it's gone!!! "Driver Joe!" wails Samuel.

18 min
The Doctor turns to examine Sky. "Why won't she turn around?" calls Harry from behind the sofa, fearing the worst. "This is getting freaky," mutters Samuel. Adam fidgets anxiously: "Maybe she's got no face?"

19 min
Sky turns round... and she's INSANE! Mum and Dad seem more perturbed than Harry and Amy, who seem relieved that she hasn't become a hideous monster... or has she?! Samuel isn't so sure, and finds someone to snuggle against.

20 min
Sky starts to copy the Doctor, and then the other passengers. The kids can't work out if it's funny or scary...

21 min
The square root of pi! "Whoah!" says Harry, impressed. And then... '666'!

22 min
Now Sky's talking at the same time as Hobbes... "Ooh," says Adam, "she's stopped copying..."

23 min
The Doctor continues to test Sky out, much to the delight of the kids: 'Roast beef. Bananas. The Medusa Cascade. BANG! Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Donna Noble, TARDIS! Shamble, bobble, dibble, dooble.'

24 min
The passengers move back, and Dee Dee recites a poem about Goblin Men. Suddenly, things have got really creepy again, and the kids eye the proceedings warily.

25 min
'Nothing can live on the surface of Midnight,' insists Hobbes. "You're wrong," whispers Harry.

26 min
Things are getting very dark. To the family's horror, the hostess suggests throwing Sky out. "Bad idea!" warns Samuel.

27 min
The Doctor tries to make the passengers see reason... but to no avail! Harry remains resolutely behind the sofa.

28 min
'Calling me a coward?' say Biff menacingly to the Doctor. Amy wills the Doctor on to somehow deal with the big bully. Adam scowls - he knows people like that at school.

29 min
Doctor... Who? He's in trouble now. Amy, Harry and Adam are dismayed that the Doctor's losing control of the situation. "And the music is so freaky!" notes Samuel. His voice is muffled because he's biting his nails.

30 min
'John Smith!' "But that is his real name, isn't it?" asks Amy, confused. She's decided she doesn't like any of the people there except the Doctor.

31 min
Sky's stopped copying people... except for the Doctor! The kids are disconcerted further by this latest change in events...

32 min
'You need my voice,' realises the Doctor. "She's becoming the Doctor," says Samuel.

33 min
"She spoke first! He's copying her!" yells Harry. This, Amy realises, is a BAD thing... Samuel: "Ohhh dear."

34 min
'Help me, professor,' requests Sky. "Don't do it!" implores Harry - but to no avail.

35 min
'It was so cold...' recounts Sky... and, to the kids' horror, the helpless Doctor continues to copy her words.

36 min
'Throw him out!' yells Sky. The Doctor is helpless. Amy and Harry, mouths agape, can't see how he's going to escape!

37 min
Dee Dee's protests are stifled. The kids watch on, alarmed. "Oh, why couldn't he have stayed with Donna," wails Samuel again.

38 min
Momentary relief for the kids as the Doctor gets his foot stuck in the seat...

39 min
'Sky' gives herself away to the hostess when she says 'Molto bene. Allons y!' And in an act of self-sacrifice, the hostess expels herself and the possessed Sky from the Crusader 50. Adam and Samuel gasp.

40 min
Everyone, passengers and viewers alike, are shaken. 'I said it was her,' mumbles Val unconvincingly. Amy gives the unpleasant woman her hardest stare ever.

41 min
20 minutes later, the rescue party has arrived. No-one knew the name of the hostess. Harry returns to the sofa. Back at the Leisure Palace, Donna gives the Doctor a big hug. Samuel gives his dad a hug, too.

42 min
'Don't... don't...' warns the Doctor when Donna copies him. "Scary!" says Harry. Samuel nods solemnly.

43 min
"What rating do you give that one then, kids?" Dad asks them. "What rating do you give that one then, kids?" repeats Samuel. Dad shivers: "Don't."

Midnight

2008-06-17T10:24:00.000-07:00

So what did we think about Midnight?

I think it has to be in contention with the scariest episode of all four series so far which had to be Blink in series 3. It was a Doctor Who Thriller.

Not much happened in the way of time travel/running/sonicy screwdrivery/ ness but you got a sense of how real it was. It showed how people react when faced with the fact that if they want to stay alive then they may actually kill somebody/people. Be it the Doctor or not. I have to say, I would hate to be in that kind of situation.

It was also nice to see a sort of old face returning to the screen. David Troughton (Professor Hobbs I believe was his name) is in fact the son of Patrick Troughton (Second Doctor [forgive me if I'm wrong. I was brought up with Christopher Eccleston and Mr Tennant so am not entirely sure about the order in the classic series]. He is the second offspring off a past Doctor to appear in a Doctor Who episode, the first of whom being Georgia Moffat who played Jenny in The Doctor's Daughter, who is the daughter of Peter Davison (number 5) who coincidently starred along side David in The Doctor Who special Time Crash [It's like one big happy family isn't it?]

Also, loved the vision of Rose on the screen behind the Doctor in the capsule, although how she managed it is waaaaay beyond me. Why didn't he just turn around??? *shakes head ponderously*

So, am waiting desperately for next Saturday to arrive so I can annoy whoever wants to watch Doctor Who at a friends house because their having a Barbecue. =]

Rusell T Davies Interview

2008-06-17T10:17:00.000-07:00

Thanks To CrazyBoutBillie for this.

TV And Satellite Week managed to get hold of the infamous Russell T Davies for an exclusive interview on Piper's return.

"She's older, tougher and more independent because she doesn't have the Doctor to defer to," he told the magazine. "She's become her own woman, just like he always wanted, but she's still the same Rose with the same heart, optimism and strength of character. And she still loves him."
And, of course, the hot topic on all of our minds is the anticipated reunion between the Doctor and Rose, which will take place at the end of episode 12, The Stolen Earth.
He teased: "Everyone wants to see them together, but they don't meet until the biggest climax ever next week."The Who supremo has also been chatting to Radio Times.
"The Doctor and Rose just complete each other," he said. "She had a humdrum life, with horizons no further than the chip shop, and he showed her the universe."At the same time, the Doctor was damaged and scarred after the Time War and Rose showed him compassion again.""Just way till you see his face when he claps eyes on her again!" he added. "She was always very special to him, but I don't think he realises how much until he learns of her return."

So there's something big at the end of Stolen Earth? (other than said reunion, and well, because there's bound to be something BIG because it is the finale. )Could this be the rumour of the Doctor getting shot??? We'll just have to wait and see =]

Billie's Back!

2008-06-17T10:06:00.000-07:00

After months of torture (Okay I don't know about you lot, but it definately has been for me) , we're finally nearing the finale of Series Four of Doctor Who. And for those that don't know (where the hell have you been???) Miss Rose Tyler has returned.

Turn Left is the Doctor Lite episode of this series. (Just like Love and Monsters and Blink in the last two), Usually there's not much of the companion either, but this one fully centers around Donna and obviously Rose.

'Donna's entire world collapses, but there's no sign of the Doctor.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?'
