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

i hate temporal mechanics

take two paradox and a

Yeah, it is a bit confusing. Think re-watching the episode is a definate help.

Catherine Tate has been seen filming in a *different* wedding dress from the one she wore in Runaway Bride. There is a scene where the Doctor goes to a bookshop to get A Journal of Impossible Things signed by its author, Verity Newman (played by Jessica Hynes.) The Doctor saves Luke Smith from being run over and then walks to his TARDIS, he waves goodbye to Luke and Sarah Jane before entering the TARDIS (it is possible that this is from the SJA but unlikely.)

Sounds interesting. Knew Catherine Tate would be back.

Interesting ... if you watch the SJA trailer ... at the bottom of this page ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ndt5j

you'll see that the episode involving David Tennant is one about a wedding ... and he does the old "Stop the wedding" routine ... at about 1min16 there's a momentary clip of Nigel Havers' kissing a bride possibly ginger ... at 1min49 there's Sarah Jane opening doors wearing a wedding dress ...

Just clicked to see what my Sky box synopsis had to say about Dr Who. The Doctor lands on, get this, Bowie Base 2059.

Guess there is/was Life on Mars

yes, heard the bit about Bowie base on one of the trailers I think

I wonder if there will be any spiders there?

Ooh yeah, never thought of that. If one of the characters is called Ziggy, I'll be in heaven

The Radio Times cast list for the next two specials does not contain Billie, John, Camille or Lis (so there's no chance they'll be in it ) but does list John as "The Master", Alexandra as Lucy Saxon and Timothy Dalton is listed as "The Narrator". Nic Briggs is listed as "Voice of Judoon" so there's no chance he'll provide Dalek or Cybermen voices

What I've said isn't much of a spoiler but if you don't live in UK or read cast lists...

with best intentions, Van

Hmmm, not that RTD has ever gamed the cast list before...
IMDB lists John Barrowman in there for Part 1

And has Lis Sladen and Tate and Piper and everybody else that has ever been in the new Who listed for Part 2.

But as it also has Russell Tovey in as Midshipman Frome again I'm guessing that IMDB is listing all characters/actors regardless of being in the plot or just flashbacks.

Interesting casting there as well one of 'Roger Bailey - Time Lord'

Hadn't come across this one before today:

Has the Dr Who 2010 storybook been released now? It looks to me like massive flashbacks before regeneration.

HAving seen the trailer

The words "They're coming in too fast" springs to mind

This is beginning to look like a Star Wars rip off
