New Earth - Cassandra whilst inhabiting Rose "Oh God, I'm a Chav".

But that's about it in terms of direct references. Of course no doubt some of Jackie's neighbours probably count.

Because Chavs are everywhere!

Or I was making a poor stereotypical description of council flat tennants based on no evidence whatsoever and will now go off and cry after being rumbled.

Some Who on TV now, on BBC 4. Nigel Planar on sci-fi acting showing lots of classic Dr Who, as well as Blakes 7, clips.

I just watched the Cybermen episodes...

Fuck me, they're both utter bollocks aren't they? Upgrade? Incompatible? Delete, Delete, Delete? Maximum Deletion? The scriptwriters want a good kicking for that. The, the syruppy scene with the dying Cyberman complaining about being cold? Gah. They can keep that shite. Too over dramatic and SciFi channel. Arses.

And again. Another program, on parallel worlds, with more Dr Who in the first 2 minutes of it.

Actually, it was acting Svengali Nicholas Craig presenting in his own inimitable style (and explaining why he wasn't in the new series of Dr Who

)

The Daily Mirror (which only a few days ago broke the Derek Jacobi casting story) is now reporting that an animated Doctor Who cartoon is being produced, to air as part of Totally Doctor Who next year. According to the article, David Tennant and Freema Agyeman will voice the Doctor and Martha in the animated story, and Anthony Head will play a new role (not Mr. Finch from "School Reunion").

The cartoon will have 13 parts, comprising a single story titled "Infinite Quest"; Russell T Davies tells the newspaper, "The Doctor and his assistant Martha follow a trail of clues across wild and wonderful alien worlds, to find the location of the legendary lost spaceship, the Infinite."

For anyone who knows why the words Paul Cornell and Human Nature go together read this spoiler

According to the new Dreamwatch website, Gardner confirms that Paul Cornell's story has links to his novel Human Nature, published as part of Virgin's New Adventures series in 1995. This confirms a long running debate in our spoilers forum.

In the novel, the Doctor gives up his Time Lord persona to experience life as a human teacher.

Yes, we cant afford alien worlds in the normal show, but dont fear we can put them in a cartoon!

Allow me to say... Dr. Who hooooooo!

Choose from the following list of responses

1. Get a life

2. Different character, same actress

As for the manly jaw, it's always been there (cf the series Blackpool), but that still makes him look more like Cap'n Jack...

Odd, when i see that cartoon its like an illusion with two faces.
Sometimes he looks manly, the other times he looks kinda gay.
weird.

I can never decide, when I look in the mirror, which of my features mark me out as gay.
