Dan Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 It's not a well they go to often, and it's much more prevalent in the spin-off fiction than the series proper, but yeah, they've touched on alternate universes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yeah, in a couple of "alternate universe" audio dramas. He is, of course, the man. DR Who has a multiverse!? Yup. Mickey Smith decided to stay in a different reality, and, later, Rose was sucked into that same world. The fourth season episode "Turn Left" created its own alternate reality, one in which the Doctor died because he never met Donna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Oh yeah, here was me hoping it would involve 52 Doctors and Rose's. I know theirs a Doctor who is going to grow old in Rose's world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Doctor Who unveils new companion for 11th Time Lord The BBC today revealed that the companion for the forthcoming series of Doctor Who will be Karen Gillan. Twenty-one-year-old Gillan will star alongside new Time Lord, Matt Smith, when the smash hit drama returns to BBC One in spring 2010. With filming due to begin this summer, Gillan beat off dozens of hopefuls to land one of television's most coveted roles. Gillan said: "I am absolutely over the moon at being chosen to play the Doctor's new companion. The show is such a massive phenomenon that I can't quite believe I am going to be a part of it. "Matt Smith is an incredible actor and it is going to be so much fun to act alongside him – I just can't wait to get started!" Lead writer and Executive Producer, Steven Moffat, added: "We saw some amazing actresses for this part, but when Karen came through the door the game was up. Funny, and clever, and gorgeous, and sexy. Or Scottish, which is the quick way of saying it. A generation of little girls will want to be her. And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too." Executive Producer and Head of Drama BBC Wales, Piers Wenger, said: "We knew Karen was perfect for the role the moment we saw her. She brought an energy and excitement to the part that was just fantastic. And when she auditioned alongside Matt we knew we had something special. It is a partnership that is ready to take on the universe!" The new series of Doctor Who comes to BBC One, Spring 2010. Source She has a very pretty, girl next door look.

Koete Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 According to Rich Johnston, Matt Smith's tenure as The Doctor will mark the return of The Doctor's face to the opening titles. And now that Rich mentions it...Matt Smith does look like a Frank Quitely drawing come to life doesn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 What I'm really hoping for is the return of the Delia Derbyshire theme song. I never really latched onto the Murray Gold version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I'm on the episode Midnight, and I noticed Rose on the tv behind the Doctor, and she was also in another episode. Is she coming back? Is she in the background on more episodes that I didn't notice? Is it all explained at the end of season 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yes, they're building to something with Rose. Off the top of my head, they tease this in Partners in Crime, The Poison Sky, Midnight and Turn Left. The payoff comes in the last story of the season, The Stolen Earth / Journey's End.

JackFetch Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I remember her at the end of an early season 4 episode, but I never saw her in anything else. I guess I wasn't paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thinking she's just another gawker, Donna briefly talks to Rose on the street in Partners in Crime. In both The Poison Sky and Midnight, Rose appears on computer monitors for a split second. She's a big part of Turn Left. And then, as I said before, there's a payoff in The Stolen Earth / Journey's End. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Last night at the National Film Theatre in London, Russell T Davies presented a preview of the first episode of the upcoming all-five-episodes-in-a-week season of Doctor Who-spinoff BBC TV show Torchwood. The series, called Torchwood: Children Of Earth was followed by series creator Russell T Davies taking questions. Davies wants more Torchwood/Doctor Who spinoffs, but would only be drawn to a mention of the Doctor in the last episode of the new Torchwood series. Though he will appear in the upcoming third series of The Sarah Jane Adventures. A fourth series of Torchwood is in pre-production but has not yet been greenlit. Russell has no plans to leave Torchwood - that’s if it gets a fourth series. The reception to the third series will determine that. He also let people know that the inside of the TARDIS is getting a more retro look in the fifth series and that the Eleventh Doctor played by Matt Smith, will be facing Daleks in his very first episode. Torchwood: Children of Earth will show in the UK and the USA in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously people, give them some time off unless the last specials of the year give a good reason for them coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Agreed, I mean they just brought Davros back. Unless they create Daleks the size of Godzilla, anything they pull out of the hat so soon after the last series finale will seem ho hum.

slothian Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 There are leaked pics on the web showing prominent cast members of the final specials.
