And who are you again?

Colonel HGFB. 1st Royal Fanboy Corps. I saw action during the hiatus campaign and survived 16 years in the wilderness armed with nothing more than a complete (Fucking yes complete) collection of Virgin NAs.

Of course she's a fucking

Tardis

(Pardon my french). RTD gets all his best ideas from the books

I've only just found out from the BBC website that it's not "the" Titanic but a sort of outer space spaceshippy Futurama-style Titanic?

...probably.

Looks that way from the trailer. Not sure why it'd need lifebelts in that case...

Retro chic. I wonder if it'll "borrow" anything from Douglas Adams Starship Titanic?

Just cos it's flying in space NOW, doesn't mean it can't land on water later...

Bit splashy though, chief.

Some news. I'll spoiler out the dangerous stuff.

First of all Bernie Cribbins gets a recurring role! Yay!

And Bernard Cribbins has a small role?
â€œHe plays a character whoâ€™s gonna crop up again in the series several times - heâ€™s gonna be playing a recurring character. Thereâ€™ll be a separate press release about him and what heâ€™s gonna be doing. Itâ€™s a great privilege to have him on set, heâ€™s wonderful.â€

Here's the answer to your questions about the Titanic

"itâ€™s not the real Titanic. Itâ€™s a spaceship thatâ€™s full of aliens and is hovering above Earth and theyâ€™re doing a bit of an experience cruise to the planet Earth, basically, so theyâ€™ve built their spaceship to be a replica of a famous Earth ship. And they beam down onto the planet secretly and have a little look round and stuff so... yes, itâ€™s their Christmas cruise and theyâ€™re celebrating an earth Christmas. Itâ€™s a theme cruise.â€

Here are the episode titles we know so far

1 Partners in Crime
4 The Sontaran Stratagem
? Planet of the Ood

Donna and the Doctor visit 5 alien planets during series 4.

UNIT are back baby. Not just in the background back but back for an entire episode. Right in the middle of stuff. RTD has spoken.

Cribbins the Brig?

just maybe.....

...and with a tasche?

It's not inconceivable. Though Courtney must surely still be up for it?

I thought Philip Glenister was going to be a young Brigadier ? Perhaps Bernards playing Tom Cambpell.

HGFB, where are those quotes from?

Some are from Doctor Who Magazine. The episode titles are from Outpost Gallifrey and the rest are from here

It seems that Clive Swift from Revelation of the Daleks will also be appearing.
