Oh thank **** this has finally been confirmed..... any more of endless posts specualting on Onegallifrey and I thought the sight would literally implode under its own virtual weight !
It's been rumoured for months and months now and Failing Angel your wish may just be granted.
While no specific details have been confirmed RTD has been quoted as saying that the season four finale will be "fanwanky". So I reackon we'll get a complete line up of New Series Companions in what is supposed to be RTDs swansong as he hands over to a new producer at the end of the next season.
While it'll be lovely to see her again I'm not so sure it'll be good for the story. Mind you what really irritated me was the news that Catherine Tate will be back.
Actually, no, what really irritated me was learning that 'Torchwood' was coming back for another series.
Any news on another series of the 'Sarah Jane Adventures' by the way?
Torchwood has proven incredibly popular internationally (and domestically!).
I understand that although the last ep of season 1 went out on 1 Jan this year, the new series will be later in 2008 as they felt season 1 was rushed and want to put more time into season 2.
That's the arrange ment for Torchwood as I understood. I believe that Torchwood is filming at the moment and will be screened later. Hope they've changed artistic direction because series one was so unutterably poor !
Rumouir is that Billie P was filming with Catherine Tate last night - and I believe she was in familiar costume - I suspect leaked set reports may have promted this press release. I suspect therefore that Rose features in the Sontaran story but may also therfore have a part in a later ep or 2009 special.
The massed ranks of companions, ex companions and occaisional characters combined with the departure of RTD makes me wonder is something,...you know,...big is planned...
RTD has said things like: “So some things worked, some things didn’t, we’ll work on it.” and "It needs work". Given how careful Davies is normally about talking about the show, this is about as close as he'll come to saying that it was awful.
Given Torchwood has been moved to a 'Do or Die' slot for 2008, it should be interesting.
I do know people who were very enthusiastic about it - even following (IMHO) really duff episodes. There were some nice aspects to it, but one of those wasn't consistency. Perhaps if they stopped trying so desperately to be an Adult show...
Mind you, in comparison with C4's Ultraviolet*, it's puerile, watery and a waste of airtime.
Nice icon btw.
*not to be confused with the film of the same name
I know the Sontarans have been touted as the returning baddies for season 4, but like you I have a suspicion that the Time Lords will be returning at some point.
I really wanted to dislike her. But I didn't. And then they took the masterful step of putting that bloody blue peter presenter in the companion role. And she became my favourite companion evre (except for Turlogh and Romana). Genius work by RTD.
Not sure why, but I feel that if people are meant to be written out of something, they should either pick something just inconvenient and returnable from or, if they choose to go beyond space, time and death, THEY SHOULD STAY THERE!!!
Well, it depends on whether this will be the same Rose we know from recent seasons, or some Alternative Universe Rose (with or without Cybermen) or perhaps it's all an elaborate ruse to hide the news of a crossover between DR WHO and SECRET DIARY OF A CALLGIRL (which I know I'd like to see...)

Whether or not that improves it, who can say?

I never got why Miss Piper got so much hate.
