h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have no doubt in my mind that RTD will build an amazing and epic cliffhanger then solve it pathetically as usual...

re: the john simm thing...

there's a big interview with RTD at
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/doctor-who/5139846/Dr-Who-Russell-T-Davies-interview.html

which mentions all sorts of potential spoilers. Simm is in it apparently, but not in the way most fear it seems.

John Simm has been spotted in Cardiff apparently, as well as Catherine Tate, so I hear. Interesting indeed. I thought if he is in it, and as the Master, he could be appearing in a dream or something, like someone buys the ring, he appears to them, controls them, the Doctor has to stop it, that sort of thing. Hey, there's an idea, Donna could buy the ring and be the 'victim', hence her coming back as well. Pure speculation mind, but could be fun if it's true.

see above post from me and t'link - seems 'dream' is almost right but not quite, and not by who you are thinking!

Of course, RTD is well known for messing with the heads of fans - I think he likes the misdirection and winding up the more obsessive ones!

I was just having a gander at that, interesting but doesn't give much away save for confirming for definite that Bernard Cribbens is back.

it was the "There are nightmare sequences because the Doctor's coming to the end of his time." bit I meant - so perhaps instead of past companions in flashbacks we get some sort of past enemies gloating or clues or something.

I love the idea of Cribbins as a "full companion" though, hes a really great character

also is it just me, or is RTD hiding behind some sort of door/wall in almost every photo???

It's slimming!

he's hiding something...

He's not pregnant again is he?

Last friday, my source watched some filming at the "Powell estate". They put fake snow where the TARDIS crashlanded in the Christmas Invasion. DT was involved in the filming as were Billie and Camille. Apparently, the scene was 'set' in 2005!

I hope to have more spoilers to follow

>Apparently, the scene was 'set' in 2005!

Possibly a "flashback" scene, there's been talk of there being quite a lot of flashbacks in the later specials.

Whatever the story is I can't wait!! Though I will miss DT.

"Possibly a "flashback" scene"

Seems a very good idea. I'd hate to see BP resurrected yet again. Perhaps that would also explain the presence of CT ...

Thing is RTD had his swan song... he made it all climactic by bringing everyone back... son what's he gonna do now - bring them back again?

Good point. Can't bring back more and more people again and again.

Has no-one heard the wedding rumours? DT is to appear in the Sarah Jane Adventures (this is not a rumour, he will) because, rumour has it, the Doctor is a guest at her wedding; Martha's wedding (her honeymoon was mentioned in Torchwood this week) will be involved in the specials (though The Sun thinks she is marrying Mickey <pinchofsaltsmiley&gt *and* equally unbelievable but very RTD is that Rose will marry Doctor 10-and-a-half in the specials!

John Simm has been seen filming (with blond hair- think I might have mentioned that) but, more interestingly, Timothy Dalton has been seen filming and his costume appears to sport the seal of Rassilon. It appears that the Doctor is, once again, being put on trial. A trial situtation may well explain the 2005 Rose/Jackie flashback, not to mention the Rose/Doctor wedding. Hmmmm....

Considering Martha was engaged to Tom at the end of the last episode of the last series, I'd say he was the one she was marrying.

Of course this is The Sun we're talking about here. If they had their way Martha would be marrying Elvis

not that the mirror is any better than the sun but shots of new Who monster:

Um, Doctor Who and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall anyone?
