I thought it would be, so much buzz around it running up to it.

A hell of a lot of death for a Christmas story, was quite shocked! The preview, seeing tate player her "Bovvered" thing ("Why you say miss? Do I look single?") ****ed me off to no end - she could turn a lot of people off the new franchise.

officially it's Series 4

On the BBC internal documents, they refer to it as series 4. On the clapperboards it is referred to as series four. It's like DrWho 2.0 Series 4 ;)

BBC bosses are so confident in Doctor Who that they are making an episode without him in it.

Instead, the Time Lord?s three female assistants ? Rose, Martha and Donna ? take the starring roles.

The shock twist comes after the Doctor, played by David Tennant, gets lost in space.

His faithful sidekicks ? played by Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman and Catherine Tate ? are left to take control of the Tardis as they battle to save the world from an alien invasion.

An insider on the show?s top-secret Cardiff set said: ?The chemistry between the three assistants is electric. It is so strong that we realised the doctor could be in danger of getting in the way.

?So it is left to the girls to sort things out, having to save civilisation and the Doctor himself.?

Former assistants Billie, 25, and Freema, 28, will team up with the Doctor?s new companion Catherine, 39, for the one-off episode towards the end of the next series. It will be screened in March.

The insider added: ?It is a bit of a gamble having Doctor Who without the Doctor ? it has never been done before. But everyone is so interested in the different assistants that it should be fantastic.

?Donna, Martha and Rose are all competing for his attention in different ways and all want to be the best.

?But the question will be, can they work together??

Hopefully Rose and Martha gang up together and throw Donna out of the tardis at full warp, or whatever the tardis does :) That would be my

favourite show ever :)

They probably have got that storyline held in reserve in case ratings start to flag.

[shoust]

I guess the real question for this episode is, what time frames are these companions(martha and rose) going to come from?

Is rose going to really come back from an alternate dimension or is she going to be stolen from her past adventures with the doctor?

Season 4 of Doctor Who looms, and the titles of the first two episodes have been released!

Episode One: Partners in Crime - Written by Russell T. Davies

Episiode Two: The Sontaran Stratagem - Part One of Two written by Helen Raynor.

Also, Georgia Moffett will be guest starring.

Georgia Moffett, the daughter of Fifth Doctor Peter Davison, will guest star in Series Four of Doctor Who.

Georgia originally auditioned for a role in Gareth Roberts' Agatha Christie episode, but so impressed the production team that she was offered a much more exciting part in another episode, currently filming in Cardiff.

Additionally, two episode titles have been announced. Episode one, written by Russell T Davies, will be called Partners In Crime, whilst episode four has been named The Sontaran Strategem. It's the first of a two-parter by Helen Raynor.

A two parter by Helen Raynor? If I remember correctly she did the two parter delek episodes in the last series. I hated that, was rather poor.

Yeah once RTD leaves its gonna be hard to fill the void, as long as they have more episodes like the "Don't Blink" episode I will be happy.

Yeah I may watch some of the older episodes just to get ready.

[trecord]

I just want to know: when are they bringing back Billie Piper? Now she was soft on the eyes.

[Rappy Veteran]

Around episode 8 I think which is a 2 parter involving all the assistants (Tate,Billy and Freema) going to save the Dr.

British actors Alex Kingston and Colin Salmon are set to star in the next series of Doctor Who.

Alex, best known for her roles in ER and Moll Flanders, will star in a Steven Moffat penned two-parter as River Song - a mysterious character who meets The Doctor on an expedition to uncover the secrets of an abandoned library.

She's joined by James Bond regular Colin Salmon, who also stars in the two episodes.

Alex said: "I used to watch Doctor Who through the crack in the door. I was so terrified but I couldn't tear myself away. I loved it so much and I'm so delighted to be a part of the new series."

Award-winning actress Catherine Tate is reprising her role as Donna, the runaway bride, and will star as The Doctor's companion throughout the new series alongside David Tennant as the Time Lord.

The first episode of the eagerly awaited new series will witness Donna tracking down The Doctor during an alien emergency in modern day London.

Further guest stars already confirmed to appear this time around include Sarah Lancashire, Felicity Kendal, Lesley Sharp, Georgia Moffett, Lindsey Coulson, Fenella Woolgar, Tim McInnerny, Peter Capaldi, Phil Davis and Tracey Childs.

The fourth series of Doctor Who is now in production and will hit BBC One in Spring 2008.
