It’s like a spontaneous Crystal Ball… actually, we must get around to that soon…

I can see this is going to be an interesting thread to revisit next year when the truth will out, one way or the other!

Oh come on! Britney clones? Too outrageous. But a finale featuring the current companions in a ‘reunion’ in the series’ 45th anniversary, especially those who have crossover history with the core series that wouldn’t throw the average kiddy into continuity conniptions – this is either diabolically pasted together… or as FC says, plausible.

For myself I’d regard with “healthy scepticism” rumours of an Eccleston return or genuine multi-Doctor story. What we have here is something that on the face of it couldn’t be easier to achieve if they were all heading off in the evening to do panto together.

Surely you remember all those Ice Warriors that were so hyped about in Series 3? Brilliant episodes they were…

Not denial, just healthy scepticism.

Let’s not forget that in January this year there were widespread news reports that Britney Spears had been asked to appear in Doctor Who, playing an army of clones of herself. That turned out to be a complete fabrication by the Daily Star. This latest news report has about as much credibility.

You’re just in denial, Paul.

Wish I was…

Well of course I’m well aware of fandom’s propensity to single out Russell’s work on the new series for criticism. It’s understandable when this happens after an episode has been broadcast, but what astounds me is that he’s already copping flak for what is an entirely unsubstantiated (and in my view frankly rather improbable) tabloid rumour.

Criticising RTD’s ability and judgement is hardly a new thing… Where have you been the last 3 years?

I’m amazed and disheartened that fans are so willing to start criticising Russell T Davies’ judgement and ability, all on the basis of a flimsy unsubstantiated press rumour – from the Daily Star of all places! Not exactly the bastion of journalistic integrity, is it?

Personally I’m treating the whole thing with a healthy dose of scepticism until there’s news from a reliable source.
