I'm still waiting for RTD (via an official leak to The Sun) to announce that Mr Blobby will be the next doctor ...........

A world exclusive in the latest issue of UK magazine, GamesMaster, reveals the first info on a new - as yet to be officially titled - Doctor Who game from Eidos that mixes the characters of the UK's long-running TV sci-fi series with stat-battling card game, Top Trumps.

The game is scheduled for release next spring for DS, PC and PS2.

Up to two players will be able to enter deck battles as the latest Doctor Who, with additional characters - including Martha Jones and Captain Jack - becoming available as play progresses. Each character has their own special ability - the Doctor, for example, can sneak a look at his opponent's cards by bending time.

The game borrows its visual style from the cartoon Doctor Who series, The Infinite Quest, with animation studio Firestep apparently working closely with developer Ironstone to achieve a vibrant look for the game.

This definitely seems like it'll be a title that only dedicated Doctor fans will really get excited about, although given that over 650,000 Dr Who Top Trump packs have already been sold there are certainly a few Time Lord loons around.

You can read more about the Doctor Who Top Trumps game in the January 2008 issue of GamesMaster, which is in shops tomorrow.

"Catherine Tate stitched me up good and proper," said Tennant. "She goes on Jonathan Ross and makes up a load of old nonsense. Unbeknownst to me, she thinks I've made a decision - she'd clearly had too much coffee that morning. She said I was leaving, which was a decision I haven't made yet, maybe she's made it for me, but I'm going to keep people guessing for as long as possible."

Tennant continued, "I started getting all these phone calls on Saturday lunchtime saying apparently you're leaving Doctor Who. Catherine Tate's just announced it on Radio 2 - thanks Catherine! I said to her on Monday morning did you know you've caused a minor diplomatic incident? She was completely oblivious that the phone had been ringing off the hook."

Told you.

So the BBC have decided not to repeat this for those of us who can't watch it at 6.50 then? Useless fuckers

*edit* Oh - silly me, they are repeating it. In a fucking week. At 2 in the afternoon, and then at 7pm again. So we get to miss it twice all over again for the same fucking reason.

Cunts.

How about watching it on iPlayer:

Or finding a torrent.

Because I don't fancy watching it huddled round a laptop in glorious superlo res-o-vision.

Or finding a torrent.

Which is what I'll have to do, I guess - but the point is, I shouldn't have to. And the time it'll take to download it will probably mean I can't watch it until tomorrow night anyway. In the past, they've repeated it in a suitably late time slot on BBC3. That iplayer crap should be no excuse for poor scheduling.

The new theme tune is a lot better, as is the trailer for series 4. The episode though was probably a bit too long - but that is not to say it wasn't good.

I must say that trailer for season 4 looks bloody marvelous.

Sontarans and UNIT in the same episode. Complete with rocket launchers Martha and Donna. TV doesn't get any better
