Appearing via video link, he told the audience: \"I\'m very excited because in January I go back to Cardiff to do four new specials which will see me through to 2009 - but when it returns in 2010 it won\'t be with me. \"Don\'t make me cry. The 2009 shows will be my last, I love this show and if I don\'t take a deep breath now, I never will and you will be wheeling me out of the Tardis in my bath chair. \"It\'s been the most brilliant, mad, amazing, life-changing time over the last three and a half years. There is a whole 2009 before I leave. Thank you for watching it, loving it, and being so enthusiastic.\" http://www.doctorwhoworld.org.uk/index.php?a=22 http://www.doctorwhoworld.org.uk/index.php?a=22 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 07:29:13 EDT Director James Strong will be helming the Easter Doctor Who Special, Executive Producer Russell T. Davies announced in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine. \"We\'re so happy that he\'s returning to the fold,\" Davies stated. \"James has handled Daleks in sewers, hordes of Adipose and Satan himself, as well as a Titanic with Kylie on board. But believe me, none of that will have prepared him for what we\'re about to unleash in this next script!\" The Easter special is scripted by Davies and Gareth Roberts, whose previous credits on the show include \"Attack of the Graske\", \"The Shakespeare Code\" and \"The Unicorn and the Wasp\". http://www.doctorwhoworld.org.uk/index.php?a=21 http://www.doctorwhoworld.org.uk/index.php?a=21 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 07:14:47 EDT Silva Screen Records has announced the full listing of the forthcoming soundtrack CD for Series Four of Doctor Who.

Sir Trevor McDonald will once again host this years event, broadcast live on ITV1 on October 29th. That\'s just 16 days away - and you can vote now by visiting the National Television Awards website (note you may want to skip through the other categories too). The final category should be of significance too - it\'s the one that lets you vote for Doctor Who as best drama series. Tennant and Doctor Who have won awards on a couple of occasions previously, and the decision to place Tennant and Catherine Tate in the same category should be seen less of a way to keep Doctor Who out of the awards and more of a reflection of the show\'s profile and respect within the industry http://www.doctorwhoworld.org.uk/index.php?a=19 http://www.doctorwhoworld.org.uk/index.php?a=19 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:28:49 EDT Torchwood Magazine has announced casting plans for the third series of the alien hunting drama, with remaining stars John Barrowman and Eve Myles engaged in what is at the moment a mysterious storyline with the title Children of Earth. Producer Peter Bennett revealed four pieces of casting to Torchwood Magazine: Cape Wrath star Lucy Cohu will play Alice, \"a woman keeping many secrets from the past\" Susan Brown, (known for her turn in The Riff Raff Element) is Bridget Spears - \"a character vitally connected to the government, which plays an important part in this story\", Newcomer Cush Jumbo is Lois Habiba, \"a secretary who hacks into some vital information\" Finally Rik Makarem portrays Doctor Rupesh Patanjali, a \"junior doctor at St Helen\'s hospital who gets drawn into Torchwood\'s investigations\". Interesting stuff - but what effect will moving to BBC One have on the show overall...? http://www.doctorwhoworld.org.uk/index.php?a=18 http://www.doctorwhoworld.org.uk/index.php?a=18 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:27:41 EDT
