Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
Season 4 has now passed, so time for a new thread for the 2008/2009 Specials, starting with the 2008 Xmas special, which we already know sees the return of the Cybermen.

There's a Christmas special, an Easter special and the others haven't been announced yet. It would be good if they were more than an hour long...

Re: Doctor Who - 2008 / 2009 Specials
I hope they are more than an hour long, an hour and a half/45 mins would be good. Make up for the lack of normal episodes.

Re: Doctor Who - 2008 / 2009 Specials
Here is a quote from Julie Gardener off the Telegraph website
Quote:
we are making four one-hour specials. The first, which we've already filmed, will go out this Christmas. The next will go out the following Easter. The other specials have yet to be scheduled, although one will definitely be on at Christmas 2009
|
So there will be less specials than we thought. We have Christmas 2008, Easter next year, one more later in the year and the 4th special will actually be the 2009 Christmas episode.
The way I though it would work out was that there would be 4 specials in addition to the christmas specials, not that two of the four would be the christmas ones.

He is counting 4 specials after the 2008 Christmas Cybermen episode, which means one more special than we were previously told.

Re: Doctor Who - 2008 / 2009 Specials
Some of the Cyberman story was being filmed here in Gloucester a few weeks back in pretty much the same locations that scenes from the the Harry Potter films were filmed.

Re: Doctor Who - 2008 / 2009 Specials
Sadly it's not going out on TV - a missed opportunity and a strange decision.
If anyone wants to see the "special episode" that's being shown at the Proms, it's available on the BBC website.

Re: Doctor Who - 2008 / 2009 Specials
I'm happy we're now moving away from RTD's involvement. Much respect to him for turning the show in to something excellent but with a bit of luck he'll move on from Torchwood too and that'll lose the "how-gay-can-we-make-this-week's-episode" approach which has spoiled the series so far.
Looking forward to the Proms episode though. I like the way they do things like this.

Re: Doctor Who - 2008 / 2009 Specials
Bye bye David Tennant... ?
Someone at DS started a thread linked to a Grauniad website story saying that DT is leaving at the end of next year.
The story in question no longer exists - seems it's been pulled (the DS thread says the news has been embargoed until after some TV award thing).
But a Google news search still brings up a snippet...
