Barrowman is gay not omnisexual

4th series confirmed apparently

http://www.gallifreyone.com/news.php#ne ... ZpMHHLfgET

A fourth series of Doctor Who has been commissioned, according to an interview piece with Russell T Davies in the Telegraph.

The extremely lengthy article also suggests that there will be a Christmas 2007 special, states that Series Three will start on March 31 at 7pm - and hints that Davies wants to move on from the show, saying he is looking for a new challenge and quoting him as saying: "I've always wanted to adapt The Old Curiosity Shop. I love it. It's about time someone had the nerve to rewrite Dickens. The whole plot is a mess", although Davies ruefully points out that ITV are in the process of doing it.

Did you also see the explanation in the interview for the excessive background music?

Early on in the Doctor Who production process, Davies knew he had the Saturday night 7pm slot, and it informed the feel of the programme he was going to make. 'If you channel-hop on a Saturday night,' he says, 'you're up against the big Light Entertainment shows, like Ant and Dec, with a shiny black floor and a huge audience. With background music behind everything. They're phenomenally loud, those shows, and I believe that's what draws an audience. So we decided to make Doctor Who really noisy.'

So we can blame Ant & bloody Dec for that.

I've been invaded. A group of Daleks are trying to get the Genesis Ark back from a renegade Krillitane who thinks it contains chips. Meanwhile Cassandra is eyeing up the arse of the new Ood on the block.

It's one of Cassandra's spider robots from The End of the World.

Oh.

Which one is winning?

Either the one sat on the Tardis or the one sat on the werewolf

The Dalek isn't having a fight with his. It's a platonic relationship.

I've seen the entire series with Tennant, but can't quite place some figures of there, so...
1) What are the green things next to the Genesis Ark?
2) What's the Klingon-thing behind the black Dalek and that Cyberman?
3) What's that thing behind the Cyberman next to that Klingon-thing?
4) Who is Overalls-guy in front of the 2nd Rose?
5) Who are the two faceless baldies? (Or are they Faceless, from that Wire episode?)
6) Who's the piggy?
7) Who's Gasmask Kid?

What's the blue blob thing next to Gasmask Kid?

Some of those are from the Eccleston series too... the blue thing is the Mox of Balhoon, and the green things are Slitheen...
