dc20willsave Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sweetness. Here's a preview clip from YouTube. In other news, good episode of Sarah Jane last night. Looking forward to the next part tonight. As a little primer for those of you that don't watch Sarah Jane but are just going to watch this story for the Doctor: Luke-Sarah Jane's son. A genetically perfect human created by aliens. Maria-Ally who got put on a bus with her father and now live in the states. Mr. Smith-Alien super-computer. The Trickster-Powerful, time-warping being. Apparently the thing on Donna Noble's back was affiliated with him. Wouldn't be suprised if the Weeping Angels were also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 And David Tennant has just done an interview on morning TV where he announced the airdate for the next special "Waters of Mars". It'll be shown on Sunday November 15th at 7pm (gmt obviously). Which if my quick calculations are right is the release date for Bigger on the Inside 26 YAY! And yes, that's when episode 26 will air, so we won't have a chance to talk about it until episode 27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakob1978 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 And BBC America will be showing Waters of Mars on Saturday 19th December. Although i'm sure people in the US will be able to find it earlier (like half an hour after it's been broadcast in the UK lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 The press release: October 30, 2009 -The BBC today announced the imminent arrival of the final Doctor Who episodes starring David Tennant as the Doctor. Television's longest running science fiction series, shot in HD, has just three episodes to go before a new Doctor arrives on screen next year. The next special, Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars airs on BBC AMERICA, Saturday December 19, 9:00pm ET/PT. It stars Tennant and British stage and screen actress Lindsay Duncan (Rome, Langford) as Adelaide, his cleverest and most strong-minded companion. All will be revealed as the Doctor and his companion Adelaide face terror on the Red Planet in one of the scariest adventures yet. Peter O'Brien (Casualty, Neighbours) guest stars as Ed, Adelaide's second-in-command at the base. The Waters of Mars is written by Russell T Davies (Torchwood, Queer as Folk) and Phil Ford and directed by Graeme Harper. The executive producers are Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner (Torchwood, Life on Mars). The remaining episodes, starring Tennant, will air over the holiday season as a two-part special. Airdates will be released in early December. Tennant shot a total of four specials before exiting the role - Planet of the Dead was the first one to air, last July, on BBC AMERICA. The BBC will release The Waters of Mars and the two-part finale on DVD and Blu-ray, Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead is already available on DVD and Blu-ray.

dc20willsave Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Glad I've been holding out on buying any of the specials so far. Now I just need a price drop on the older seasons or them to at least be on sale for the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Glad I've been holding out on buying any of the specials so far. Now I just need a price drop on the older seasons or them to at least be on sale for the holidays. Same. I didn't enjoy the specials enough so far to get the singles, and this works out better for me then. Also, your best bet is new year sales, as just before christmas, I see the prices going up before they go down, because of christmas and the Tennant finale.

Dan Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Next week is the episode of Sarah Jane with The Doctor if anyone is interested. The show has been pretty good so far this season, definitely an improvement over Series 2. I watched this (thanks, Internet Fairy!) over the weekend. It was cute enough, I guess, but nothing I'll go out of my way to watch again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 It's actually bad that the episodes with Tennant were probably the most average ones so far this season. Oh well, it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Welcome to the forums, Shaun! My guess is that Moffat's writing so many to set the tone for his run, then he'll pull back for his second season and so on. Davies did the same thing. During his first season he wrote eight of the episodes, but only five each (plus the specials) in the following three seasons. I think Moffat will be okay.

dc20willsave Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 New Trailer for The Waters of Mars. Also, three minutes of footage from the episode here. Thoughts on the trailer. I like that they're using the space suit from The Satan Pit. Great little bit of continuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaunKL Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I wonder (I don't really read spoilers any more, so I don't know jack besides that The Rani is returning) what reason is the Doctor there? To make sure that event happens? TARDIS just randomly lands there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 When I signed onto MSN a few minutes ago, the Microsoft banner proclaimed it was showing an episode from the Hartnell era on its player. I clicked on the link to find that the episode was........The Web Planet. I've also been told what an anagram of The Waters of Mars is: Wars of The Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 David Tennant is to make his US television debut when he plays the title character in a hour long pilot for NBC called Rex Is Not Your Lawyer. Tennant plays Rex Alexander, a top Chicago lawyer who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court. Written by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson the pilot is directed by David Semel, who directed the pilots for "Heroes" and "Life". The project has been in development for two years with casting for the lead actor taking place over several months until Tennant clinched the role in August. Tennant will hope to follow the success of another established British TV actor with virtually no American TV experience, Hugh Laurie, as the lead on Fox's medical drama "House."

dc20willsave Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hope it does well also because the better it potentially does, better the chances for Tennant as the Riddler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
