Doctor Who Spoilers and Speculation...

[fajrdrako]

We all know I don't usually do spoilers. But at the moment, I can't resist. The item on the Sci-Fi web page led me to Dark Horizons, which said

Adding much fuel to the talkis word coming from the set of the final two specials, a two-parter, which are currently filming. The trio of Torchwood members (John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth-David Lloyd), Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) and her grandson Luke (Tommy Knight), and Donna Noble's grandfather Wilf Mott (Bernard Cribbins) and mother Sylvia (Jacqueline King) have all been photographed filming scenes.

This is the first I have heard that Captain Jack will be in the Christmas specials, but I've been hoping. And Sarah Jane, too.

As for the hints that the Master will be back - I'm not sure whether that pleases me, but it does not surprise me.

That article linked me to pictures from the set, including this picture and this, each one a treat. I've never seen Luke and the Doctor in the same picture before.

You have a [Unknown LJ tag] where I hope a lj-cut would live.

Oops, thanks for the heads-up - I was on my way to double-check but not fast enough. I wish previews could let you know when the cut tags are screwed up.

This ROCKS my world.

Also, have links to more pics than the ones you've linked to in this post h e r e (http://boji.livejournal.com/283224.html)

Thank you for the link - all this fans my excitement.

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

This is great news! Thanks:)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Deliciously exciting!

The news about the Torchwood trio makes me very happy, assuming that the specials are set in current time.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Since they seem to have set the specials in current time, I imagine they will continue to do so. Which means that will be the first time we see the Torchwood team after series 3. Seems they back-date the books, though I'm not sure when the three books that are coming out this spring will be set. Shortly after the end on "Exit Wounds", I would guess - but that's only a guess.

Yes, I've been seeing hints that the Master would be back for several weeks, and that Bernard Cribbins would be the Companion for the final two specials.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Well! Since I really like Wilf, I'm happy about that. I'm less of a Master fan, but it all depends on the story. And we knew he'd be coming back sometime.

John did kind of let something slip on Saturday, when he was on Radio 2 with David and Catherine - with his show filming, I would think they've been living in London, recently. But John did say he'd been talking to David about something "the other day".

CBC Radio 2 or BBC Radio 2?

[laurab1.livejournal.com]

Sorry, BBC Radio 2.

[dewline.livejournal.com]

Thanks much. Is there a podcast available?

[laurab1.livejournal.com]

It's on the Listen Again on the BBC iPlayer, until Saturday 18 April:

The 3 hours is very funny, but if you just want to listen to the 3 Who people, fast forward to the last half hour :)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Loved it! They are all so very, very funny.

John did say he'd been talking to David about something "the other day".

LOL! Good for him!

Oh, now that's verrrrrry interesting! I've half a mind to go watch the DW Forum implode. :-D


Here's a real-life spoiler that's making me cheerful today: Gareth's getting married! :-)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

now that's verrrrrry interesting!

I think so. I wonder what the plot will be like.

Gareth's getting married! :-)

How wonderful! Congratulations to him. Is he marrying Sara Lloyd Gregory?

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

No, they've been over for a while. He met the fair Gemma last April (so I'm guessing it was an anniversary proposal) and they've been inseparable since. Seriously: items not sold separately.

Those who've met her invariably describe her as kind, gentle, and sweet. Even the most stalkerish of fangirls love her, so she's got some kind of mojo.

Here they are being silly (GDL) and lovely (Gemma) at Universal Studios this winter. (http://garethdavid-lloyd.co.uk/images/gdl_la3.jpg)


Sorry it's taking a while to send you "The Nameless City". I transferred all my mp3s to a new hard drive and effed everything up. I KNOW it's in there somewhere. It's worth the wait.

I think I might have heard something about that... but forgot.

Thanks for the picture - she looks lovely! how wonderful.

No problem about "The Nameless City", take your time.
