Yes, but some are from the usual jokey sources that tend to get things very wrong.

Hmmm It would be pretty awesome if the Master came back for the specials I'd love to see 4 epic specials with some sort galatic chase across the cosmos and timeline between The Master and Doctor, and i'd love it if it ended with some form of Ressurection of the Timelords.


Have you read any of the supposed spoilers involing a "split" in the finale?

The Master is the main one I can think of, but JS should be back to play him in one of next year's specials.

Then as far as new monsters for next year we could still have the Sea Devils, Ice Warriors, Rani, Omega, Rassilon and many others that could be dusted off and re-used.

It doesn't bother me so much with Doctor Who, with regards to spoilers half the time the next episode trailer spoils the hell out of it. Like seasons 2 ending in which I had no idea the daleks were back until the Fear Her next episode trailer showed somebody being dalekised.

LOL I guess this episode is more likely to be a This is your Life (at least with regards to the past 4 seasons) character, it's a full house nearly I'd be very surprised if we don't see like every classic villian pop up in some respect.

I mean seriously who isn't the finale this year?

But then the last episode is going to be an hour long and I think there will be a few curveballs, this week's will be mostly setting all that up, so it's not exactly going to be full of surprises.

I had the same thought yesterday when I watched the latest trailer. Between them and the synopsis, you could do a pretty good job of piecing together both episodes I think.

Very nice story in The Guardian about animators making their own animations for classic missing stories:

The BBC say that the Cosgrove Hall animations were a big success (and a big seller for the DVD) but it's too expensive for the BBC to agree to doing any more :(

You mean, other than Rose, Martha, Sarah Jane, Harriet Jones, Davros, Cpt Jack and Caan? Oh and Paul O'Grady...

Is there any aspect of Doctor Who that isn't spoiled now, I'm really hoping out theres some sort of BIG surprise at the end but it's not looking likely.

Pretty sure everyone knows that, and the Radio Times have just published the cast list anyway...
