"Millions are expected to tune in on Saturday night. But because Christopher Eccleston is to be replaced by Casanova star David Tennant in the next series, this version of the Doctor WILL die".

No paraplegic prunes hoorah!
Is the french version of Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf sung by or merely a tribute to, Bill Bailey?

I think the fact that it's the French version may be significant- the lyrics are at a substantial variance to the English ones.
Although it could just be a Bill Bailey joke

Some more details from The Sun. Although their attempt to give away the plot has been cocked-up somewhat by the fact that their reporter obviously doesn't understand science fiction and has no idea what he's writing about.

The Guardian's reporter had a better idea of what they were talking about.

Well, be fair, their Political Editor knows sod all about politics. Doesn't stop him talking about it though.

It's probably safe to say that one of the key questions in Sun job interviews is 'do you know anything about this subject?'. Those that answer yes are clearly dangerous intellectuals to be disposed of forthwith.
Quite fun spoiler:
"As well as his electrically charged kiss with Rose, the Doctor also receives a smacker on the lips from his American assistant Captain Jack, whose sexuality appears fluid."
Aye aye, one for the boys and girls

"Saturday’s hotly anticipated episode also answers the mystery of Bad Wolf, the words that have followed the Doctor and Rose through the series, which is finally resolved by his resourceful assistant."
Told you it was a message for Rose...

Hover your mouse over the question mark at the bottom of http://www.badwolf.org.uk/clues.html
Is there any theory about the recurring numbers yet?

There's an "Ultimate Guide to Doctor Who" at 6.15pm, just before the "Parting of the Ways" so remember to turn on your tv early!

*ties knot in trunk*
23-6-801 - were all the numbers listed in the church in "Father's Day"
Also Psalm 23 is "The Lord is my Shepherd" - shepherd leads sheep, protects them from wolves...
OK, that's as far as I'm going with that...

Or alternatively, as Kerr said, it's the Landranger grid ref for Cardiff.

Whisky Posted Jun 17, 2005
So what the heck's so interesting about the middle of a field in Cardiff?
