    Doctor Who Season 4

    What did you guys think of the promo following the conclusion of the Christmas Special?

    As much as I liked Martha Jones as a companion, I look forward to the return of the Bride from last years Christmas special. I don't think that the Doctor has ever had such a prickly relationship with a companion before (perhaps the earliest appearances of Tegan?), and it's obviously going to bring a different dynamic than we are used to with Doctor Who companions in recent memory.

    Was that UNIT? Hopefully we can see th return of Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart!

    I really don't like the bride character.
    I think she's going to be very annoying after a short time.
    A one shot comedy episode (Runaway Bride) is ok, but I think they should have left it at that.

    Hey, speaking of Season-4, I thought 4 was going to be the Season of Davros ?

        I was actually secretly hoping that it was Davros that was being wheeled out of the secret chamber on board the Titanic.

          U.N.I.T. are back...they've been seen already in many episodes of the previous seasons but as background figures...this season the boys and girls of U.N.I.T. feature heavily in a 2 parter (possibly the Sontaran story). no sign or rumours about Davros other than there is a Dalek story this year and that Ben Kingsly was approached to play Davros...but a conflicting report/rumour says Terry malloy has been approached to play Davros????
          Trailers are notoriously misleading these days so i'm not reading too much into it...there looks although there will be a crowded TARDIS though as its been confirmed not only will Martha be back for 5 episodes but Rose will appear in the last 3 episodes of the season.

              It didn't look that exciting but you can't tell too much from a couple of mins. I wasn't too enamoured with the return of the Bride when I first heard about it but I've since warmed to Catherine Tate.

                Being from the US, not counting The Runaway Bride, I never even heard of Catherine Tate before that episode.
                She basically is unknown here.
                I don't mind her all that much, I just think the comedy needs to be toned down a bit.

                  Hmmmm....

                  I would have preferred the woman from "Daleks in Manhatan" as a new companion. And I'm REALLY curious to see what UNIT has been up to. They were in the two part story with the Master last year, and they've been mentioned a whole lot. Although there's a McCoy era episode that happened in the future (which I think should be NOW) that showed Lethbridge-Stuart as having retired by this time.

                  ...and bring back the Yeti; dammit!

                    Yeti's are a tough one, though.......

                    If they stray too far from of what a Yeti actually looks like-- they're not really a Yeti.

                    If they make them look too much like a classic Yeti, new viewers would have a laugh-fest.

                    Perhaps something in between.

                    Like Bionic Bigfoot or something.

                      Hear, hear! I'd love to see a darker, more serious tone in the series. I do get miffed when they bog it down with childish humour (fart jokes etc). The concept is far too good for that.

                        The Yeti could always be brought back in a different guise as the real menace behind them was the great intelligence...it was the control spheres that mobolised the Yeti which could quite easily control a different kind of robot...would be nice to see the original costumes or an approximation of them though.

                          When was the last time we saw the Yeti? The five doctors?

                            Yup and the original costume was in such bad condition they had to keep it in the dark and show only parts of it in the episode.

                              I thought the Five Doctors scene with the Yeti was quite effective (scary), though (being dark and all)...I was a bit unnerved, because I could quite see what was after them (And I had no knowledge of the Yeti, besides what I had read)...
