BBC AMERICA To Premiere Doctor Who Special "A Christmas Carol" on Christmas Day

Fantastic news

Wow! The butchered commercial edited version will be on the same day! Nice! :|

[Peri-Peri]

Moff has hinted in this months DWM that episode 2 may have something to do with Skaro and Leela and also discusses trying to work out who hasnt met the Daleks and Davros. This could be just a tease but it could mean that he is planning something Dalek-wise.

[Peri-Peri]

Oh yea, Moff is also writing episodes 7 and 8, the ones either side of the gap

[The Doc]

According to the CV of Sarah Smart, who has a guest starring role in episodes 5 and 6 of the upcoming series of Doctor Who, the titles for the episodes are:

The Rebel Flesh and Gangers

The Rebel Flesh and Gangers

Giggity.

[The Doc]

Haha they do sound a bit saucy dont they. If you take them that way

[Exterminate]

Yay lots of spoilers today. Not much talking about them though. Where is all the excitement?

The names of those episodes sound a bit random, but The Rebel Flesh has a certain classic sound to it.

As for Skaro and Davros, my tiny excitable heart wouldnt be able to cope if this was all said in jest. It needs to be true

[Tardis40]

Uh, guys and gals, in The Writer's Tale, RTD says he asked SM about using the Daleks in The End of Time and was told by SM he was planning on using them in Series 6.  I think (I'm out of country so don't have book at hand) there was talk of a "reboot" of sorts of the Daleks.  Whether it meant just meant using the Original Daleks or the new ones created last series, don't know.

And I could have completely misremembered (time zones, you know).

[Peri-Peri]

I think I know what in the book you are referring to and it was for series 5. There was no word about Daleks in S6 up until recently because Moff said that he planned to rest them this yearand rumours came about that that was because next years Xmas Special was due to feature them

Some info about the Xmas episode:

Amy and Rory are on their honeymoon during the episode, and run into trouble when the pleasure cruise spaceship they’re travelling on finds itself under attack from “something very nasty”. The spaceship is orbiting an alien planet, which is where the Doctor is for a considerate part of the story. This therefore causes Amy and Rory to be separated from the Time Lord for the majority of the episode.

[Oh-Wise-One]

A spaceship under attack while orbiting a planet? At Christmas? Why does that sound familiar?

I assume the "something very nasty" will be the flying shark we saw months ago, lol.

[Roranicus]

Well any news about Christmas is better than nothing, but this doesnt sound all that exciting so far

[Peri-Peri]

There's no mention of any of the guest stars or sub plots so I wouldn't be too worried yet

[Exterminate]

Peirs Wenger:

Now the pressure is on us to top Series 5, and that’s the challenge we’re currently engaged in. That’s why we’re going off to the States to film for the opening two-parter, and that’s why Steven is coming up with more dark and complicated and strange things to inflict upon Rory and Amy and to complicate their relationship; to kind of mine the Doctor’s relationship with River, to reveal some pretty big truths about that relationship, and also to make some brilliant new monsters. We’re much more interested in new monsters than we are in classic ones, to be honest. I watched an assembly of the first three weeks of filming of the first two episodes on Saturday, and I e-mailed Toby Haynes, who’s directing those episodes, to say “You are shooting the coolest and possibly the scariest new ‘Doctor Who’ monster in years.” I really, really truly believe that. They are quite terrifying. I worry for the sanity of some of our fans. I worry for our own sanity! They are properly scary. They are really going to make the Weeping Angels look like a bunch of stuffy old statues.

[Exterminate]

Is this going to be like a general discussion thread now? I like the way you are doing it with the summary style thread. Its a great idea, but the other day I wanted to post stuff that didnt fit anywhere and didnt really deserve their own threads so maybe we could use this for odds and ends now?

[Roranicus]

Sounds like a good idea to me. Perhaps the name needs changing and then were good to go

PRG, that thread you are working on looks brilliant. So neat and clean and easy to reference. I think its a great idea doing it this way

As for the post about from Wenger, he makes it sound so good! I seriously cant wait for series 6 to begin now.

Also, while I am in a bit of a cheeky mood, you think maybe we could have a similar new thread for all the christmas stuff? Its scattered everywhere. I dont mind even compiling it myself, though I wouldnt be able to lock it
