Dr Who Season 4

5th April is the confirmed date for the new season of Dr Who! Mixture of excitement and worry about this one – I don’t know anyone who thinks ‘Donna Noble’ is a good idea, but then I though that about Billie Piper, and how wrong I was.

On YouTube you can see the cinema trailer that doesn’t appear on telly until 29th March. It features interesting spoilers and not too many ‘running away from explosions’ shots:

As I did last year, I’m putting together a subscribable calendar for the new season. So far, not a huge deal of information is known, but in some cases there are at least suggested titles. You can subscribe to the Dr Who Season 4 Calendar right now, and as I find out more, I’ll update it.

What we do know about this series is:

Return of the Sontarans (played by Mike from the The Young Ones). Yay!
Agatha Christie!
Pompeii!
David Troughton and a mysterious library! It’s a 2 parter written by Steven Moffat, so you know that at least this one will be good.
Big 3 part finale with Martha, Rose, Sarah Jane and Captain Jack. It sounds overblown, but I hope I’m wrong.

Hopefully they’ll give Dalek Caan a rest this year, bless im.

Did you notice the hat Bernard Cribbens is wearing.
Is that a regimental badge?
Do you think he may have been something to do with UNIT?
Or am I being silly? ;)

Indeed, the trailer looks very promising.
Can’t wait to watch the new season.

No.3

Erm, I think Cribbins was still in the newspaper seller outfit from the Christmas special.

Not that that rules him out of actually being something else.

No.4

He was indeed – I don’t think he’ll turn out to be UNIT though!

No.5

Was that a shot of regeneration smoke coming from the Doctor’s face?

oooh, now then! Surely they wouldn’t reveal such a major plot element in a trailer? But then, i was surprised that they’d included Rose in there, as up till now, I thought it was just conjecture. Hmmm!
