Series 3: What we KNOW so far (spoilers)

[Larry]

I get the feeling that there's going to be no official confirmation of this rumour as RTD is going to want to keep this a very big seceret..

[Milky Tears]

More tabloid spoilery stuff...

The Michael Sheen rumours from a few days ago have been picked up by The Sun. They also report that Elize Du Toit (Ex-Hollyoaks actress) has landed a role in the new series:

[Carol Baynes]

Oh wow, I've only just read all this! John Simm as The Master would be interesting casting. I actually think he could bring something new to the role while staying true to it; I expect he coul dbe quite a goading sarcastic kind of Master (I can even imagine Tennant's eyes bulging in anger as I type! )

We shall see!

[Dirk Gently]

It didn't take Carol long to reduce this thread to Tennant's bulge!

[Milky Tears]

Exclusive David Tennant interview from a few days ago has appeared on David-Tennant.com.

Confirms a few spoilers from this thread as well as his love of The Proclaimers and The Kaiser Chiefs' 'Ruby' Timmy Mallett is also mentioned:

Another newspaper report claims Tennant has signed for Series 4 and the new series starts next month::

CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS!!

http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/south...name_page.html

Tennant signed up for the fourth series of Doctor Who in a 1m deal after initial reports he had quit the show. He and new sidekick Freema Agyeman began filming in Cardiff last August for the third series of the cult show.

Milky Tears is probably out shopping for DVDs to add to his unwatched pile, so here we go:

Ten-Inch and WheelBarrowMan GET IT TOGETHER!

Cool, awesome 11/10

[Milky Tears]

Spotted it this morning, but couldn't be bothered posting a link.

Freema looks better with her hair down.

24/10

Edited to add: At least it ain't as wide as Piper's:

"Excellent bottom!"

One more

think i'll wait untill the BBC make it official before celerbrating..

[Milky Tears]

Starts "late March"... according to Tennant on his BBC TV/radio appearances this morning.

[Pip Madeley]

Confirmed as Saturday 31st March - contrary to what the new DWM says.

to be honest I don't know why they just did not hold back and go for the usual Easter start as it would only of been another week.

[Raston]

Probably because a later start means more light evening and lower ratings!

[Milky Tears]

After reading the latest DWM Spoilers, I'm looking forward to ...

'Human Nature', 'Blink', 'The Sound of Drums', Ellie Haddington, Alexandra Moen, Elize Du Toit and Nichola McAuliffe.

[Pip Madeley]

Which episodes are which?

[Milky Tears]

Going by posts on OG/Roobarb's, titles confirmed in DWM are:

Episode 8 - Human Nature (Written by Paul Cornell)
Episode 10 - Blink (Written by Steven Moffat)
Episode 12 - The Sound of Drums (Written by RTD)



Some interesting rumours of titles for episodes 3/5/13 kicking about on other sites as well.

Confirmed as Saturday 31st March - contrary to what the new DWM says.

Well, there has been no BBC announcement on that date. It could very well be correct but the last two series have started on the Easter weekend which for series three would be 7th April. The Dreamwatch site claim that the BBC have confirmed that date, but until they officially announce it then I'll take that date with a pinch of salt.

[Dave Tudor]

I'm curious, and slightly confused - can I just ask where it was confirmed that the new series was starting on 31st March? I know DWM don't always get everything right, but I'm surprised that they announced a 24th March date without official confirmation.

[Pip Madeley]

Woo!

And to answer Dave: "The BBC is said to have confirmed the date to Dreamwatch Sci Fi after Doctor Who Magazine was told the start date would be March 24. The schedule was apparently changed after Doctor Who Magazine went to print and it was decided BBC One would be screening the England v Israel match as part of the European Championship that Saturday."

[Larry]

nice picture..

[Dirk Gently]

I doubt that'll be in an episode. It'll be like that trailer of C.E running down a tunnel followed by an explosion. Just for publicity only.

[Pip Madeley]

There was a clip of Tennant's Doctor running down a corridor escaping a big explosion in the trailer at the end of Runaway Bride, I guess it was based on that scene...

A Doctor running down a corridor seems some things never change..

[Milky Tears]

The Freema interview in the latest issue of Starburst seems to confirm that

scary "ugly scarecrows" appear in Cornell's two episodes. This sounds like the "Jack Straws" mentioned in the Tennant interview just before Christmas. The Scarecrow rumour has been kicking about for a few months now.

[Pip Madeley]

According to Lizo of Newsround:

there's a mention of the new Harry Potter book in The Shakespeare Code

Episode 10 of Dr Who Confidential Series 3 will be 'presented' by David Tennant
