Dr Who Rumors

UNIT is controlled from Geneva and was set up on the insistence of Lethbridge Stuart, who was kind of the unofficial leader. Plus most of the alien incursions happened in the UK, possibly due to the Doctor's presence.

It wouldn't be weird to have Tom back as the Doctor if they went down the Dark Dimension route, in that he didn't regenerate after falling from the telescope in Logopolis.

i don't think they even have to go that route. Let's admit it Pat Troughton was very much older, greyer and rounder when they shot the 2 dr's with Colin baker and we all just accepted it. I think Jon Pertwee in 5 dr's was less noticable since his hair was white so early. Tom's baggy coat can be used to mask some of the Girth and a top notch wig will restore his currly browns look. one thing you can say about the new show they don't cut corners on the makeup

>I'd rather see the series moving forward and not depend on bringing back old
character/elements unless they do something really different.

I can agree; although with a show like Doctor Who, you've got so much history it's a shame not to use any of it. I kinda think it's nifty how they're setting UNIT up to be antagonists more than associates in the new show. Weird twist. I did like how they brought back the old bad guys but didn't "reimagine" them. At least not to the point they were unrecognizable.

>I was disapointed that the religious fanatic Daleks only appeared in "Parting of the Ways". I thought that was an interesting development.

Yeah; but they were an isolated bunch. I imagine different groups of daleks, all thinking themselves the last survivours, could develop all sorts of weird ideas.

>As far as Tom Baker coming back it could be interesting but it looks a lot
different these days.

He looks like he's a zillion years old! Although I bet he could still pull it off.

>I hope Rose stays where she is. I've had more than enough of female companions mooning over the Doctor.

I really felt that way about Martha; although they really wrapped that up nicely last season. I'm not opposed to that sort of thing, but it cheapens it when EVERY female falls for him. And vice-versa.

I was disapointed that the religious fanatic Daleks only appeared in "Parting of the
Ways". I thought that was an interesting development.

No real spoiler here but you won't be dissapointed with season 3 if you liked that Idea

Isn't he too short? Maybe Garry Russel has the wrong aliens in mind.

I was thinking that Myself. Kevin Lindsay, who played Linx, was slightly taller i think.

I hope they re-create the Linx costume.
I wasn't too keen on the costumes in the 2 Doctors and the actors were too tall, Sontarans are supposed to be " nasty, brutish and short ".

I think David Tennent has committments to a play which is the reason for the gap in full length seasons.

I'd rather see the series moving forward and not depend on bringing back old
character/elements unless they do something really different. I was disapointed that the religious fanatic Daleks only appeared in "Parting of the
Ways". I thought that was an interesting development.

As far as Tom Baker coming back it could be interesting but it looks a lot
different these days.

I hope Rose stays where she is. I've had more than enough of female companions mooning over the Doctor.

Really? Will he be groping Martha and the Runaway Bride?

Isn't he too short? Maybe Garry Russel has the wrong aliens in mind.

Ha! Mike from the Young Ones as a Sontaran, funny! I think Vivian would make a great Dalek...

Looks like the Sontarans are the returning classic monsters:

I can't get that link to work. If the Sontarans are coming back they can just outfit them with the Jundoon costumes and change the heads.

That really does fit overall with the new show. Sontarans are violent warrior aliens. The new show does tend to favor more physical, action oriented villains. Still it would be great if they had Ice Warriors and Zygons come back. Maybe even have them back in the same story.

There ws a piece in the Sun over the weekend that Billie Piper was close to signing a deal for the last 3 episodes of the season. So there could be some truth to that rumour.

If having her come back manages to cut screen time from Catherine Tate then I'm all for it.

[palitoy]

I don't believe anything until I see it on screen, I swear that the writing staff throws these red herrings out there deliberately.

don't think he will be the doctor, may be a time lord but this is not certain, my source said they were in talks with him was the rumor

[Boris71]

A lot of these seem like no-brainers to me:
I've heard that from a few places. Weird about the gap, but no biggie. If the specials are an hour each that still amounts to roughly half a season. I haven't heard WHY they're doing this though.
.

He wants do do some plays and other things apparantly thats why he was going to quit
