Ten 'Waters of Mars' teasers


* SPOILERS *

Digital Spy:

The Doctor: "It's taken me all these years to realise *** **** ** **** *** **** - and they **** **** **."

Sentence may be: Its taken me all these years to realise how many of them are left - and they don't need me (If this is right, is it a reference to the Time Lords?)*

Ben Cook on Twitter:

"The Waters of Mars = the most grown-up episode of Dr Who ever?"

"Alex Kingston *is* playing R Song in Series 5 (BC: "Is she the Dr's wife?" SM: "Not telling!" BC: "But it's implied." SM: "Inferred!")..."

"Steven described Matt's Dr as "the best yet", but ruled out a multi-Dr ep for the time being at least..."

Den of geek
Girl Number 9: first look at episode 1:

It's dark. It's earthy. It's foul-mouthed. And, on the evidence of its opening instalment, it's set to be an interesting week ahead following Girl Number 9. It's the latest project from the pen of Doctor Who, Torchwood and Severance scribe James Moran, who this time has turned his talents to a web thriller. Filmed on a tight budget and released online across six five minute episodes, Girl Number 9's first episode is to be found at www.canyousaveher.com (at least from 9pm tonight!)

Wedding INVITE - the filming of the SJ wedding


DATE: Wednesday 27 May 2009.
LOCATION: Bridgend, Wales.

WHERE IS IT?
It's 10am at Court Colman Manor Hotel and DWA is lucky enough to be watching the filming of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith. It's raining heavily, but powerful lights outside the hotel windows make it seem like it's a sunny day!

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Today's scenes involve Sarah Jane, her friends, K-9, and an extra special guest - the Doctor, played by David Tennant. It's Sarah Jane's wedding, so you might expect it to be a happy event - but judging by the noise and running around, it seems as though something is going very wrong! It definitely looks like an exciting episode though!

ANY SURPRISES?
The Doctor's jacket doesn't have big pockets! One of the scenes has the Doctor using a loud rattle and actor David Tennant has to pretend to put it in his pocket. When he does, it drops noisily to the floor! Crash!

K-9 secrets!
John Leeson, who is the voice of K-9 isn't on location with the other actors. He records his part much later, so someone else reads the lines of the robot dog. It sounds very different!

Billie’s pram and proper...


BILLIE Piper goes back in time to the prim and proper 1950s filming a new love drama.
The ex-Dr Who girl - famous as hooker Belle de Jour in Secret Diaries of a Call Girl - plays Betty, who has an affair with a Polish neighbour in BBC1 show A Passionate Woman.
The drama follows Betty as she deals with the consequences of her fling 30 years later - when she is played by Waking the Dead's Sue Johnston. It will be screened next year.

*SPOILERS* Notes on David Tennant's 'Sarah Jane' stint



It's the moment we've all been waiting for: David Tennant's appearance in The Sarah Jane Adventures! The two-part story, 'The Wedding Of Sarah Jane Smith', airs next Thursday and Friday on BBC One, but for now, here are ten teasers on what to expect:

1. DT is technically in both episodes, but he doesn't appear right until the end of the first one. His opening words? "Stop this wedding now!"

2. Ahh yes, the wedding. Sarah Jane is getting married! To Nigel Havers. Erm, correction: a businessman called Peter Dalton who is played by Nigel Havers.

3. Yes, their relationship moves quickly - although there is a lot of use of things like "one week later".

4. But that aside, there's definitely something untoward going on here. Who's to blame? Why, it's Sarah Jane's old friend The Trickster!

5. When The Doctor shows up, he's quickly parted from Sarah Jane (and the TARDIS). He's got the kids to help him out, though.

6. The Doctor says two of his standard catchphrases: "Allons-y" and "I'm so sorry."

7. The Doctor is referred to as "the man of ice and fire" and is told that "the gate is waiting for you".

8. One of the kids receives a massive shock. Literally.

9. Words are nice, but here's a couple of exclusive pictures from the episodes: (see above).

10. The story ends with an exchange between Sarah Jane and The Doctor that provoked tears here at DS Towers. And she has a final line that we'll all be thinking around Christmas time: "No-one's **** ***** ** ****** ***."
Combom Blog suggest this line could be "No-one's ever going to defeat you".
Or is it 'No-one's ever going to FORGET you".
