I was thinking all over the eppisode at least *some* of those spheres should have rebeled. Rather then a stupid dues-ex, a more physical solution based on that would have been better, imo.

I wondered if it was supposed to be the effect of seeing the end of the universe on humanity. On a smaller level, it obviously drove Lucy Saxon insane when The Master took her there.

Oh and one other thing - can anyone confirm for me, when the Doctor burnt the Master's body, did anyone else see a moon in the sky behind his head? Indicating it wasn't the end of the universe perhaps?

Its from a reliable collegue (links to the mill) but I'll find out if I can.
What would The Mill know about casting?

Two completely separate BBC people, relayed through a third (non-BBC) person. I then checked in with another (non-BBC) person who is usually on the money, and he said it was correct. At the same time, I had yet another person contact me with the info, saying they'd got it from more BBC friends, and by coincidence had spoken to person three above, who were then both surprised the other person knew.

i know not exactly definitive source (what did you expect) but i'd definately put money on this.

If she is, then that will certainly kill off any interest I have in a 4th series altogether.
Frankly, I been hurt too much by this show now, and if there was a nice definitive reason to stop watching Id probably be better off.

Need to do spoilers in a quote box, as that has a white background, making the text difficult to read.

Making the text a bit smaller helps as well.

Oh-ho..they're leaving nothing to chance for a mid-season pythonesque cancellation for series four are they? What with the "Bonnie Langford" factor for the Christmas Special, and now the rumour of the most inappropriate companion since Tegan..all they need to do now is to put the last Dalek in existance cottaging in a portaloo..and they'll be pulled faster than some drunk teenage girl at Blackpool..

* Laughs *

Hehe... Well, I am happy. I liked her in The Runaway Bride (which, in my opinion, is the only performance of hers that she can legitimately be judged on in this context).

If she settles down and gets into her stride, she'll be a good foil for Tennant. No drawn-out intro like Martha and Rose had - just "whoops! Here we go again!" and on with the series. So at least we know episode 1 will be set in London (Cardiff).

The odds of Tate doing more than one season are rather slim and she is less likely to do as much action packed day saving as her perkier predecessors so it should make for a season of more diverse sidekick contributions. Then back with Martha Jones and perhaps someone else as well? Davies has shown he's willing to bring people back into it with Jack and Donna, so why not Sally Sparrow next? I the long run, I think this is probably bloody good news tonight.

The Doctor could even tire of Martha's company and feel his mind turn to Madame du Pompadour, who he wanted to do up the arse and everything. Imagine her, Marth and Sally Sparrow on the Tardis... Tennant wouldn't last a week in the real world, jealous blokes kicking the shit out of him though jealousy!
