Potential spoilers for the Doctor Who 2009 specials, heed ye well.



From this post on blogtorwho, seen via doctorwho here:

RUMOUR ROUND~UP
Here follows a list of info that has been forwarded to BLOGTOR TOWERS regarding the 2009 SPECIALS. The info we've included comes from sources who have been correct (or very nearly) in the past so these tidbits should be considered as SPOILERS. Of course, info/casting can change and the specials aren't being filmed until January so some points may not turn out as stated here.

DATES
• The first special is to be televised in April 2009. Running time is an hour.

• The second special will be broadcast on Christmas Day and, again, will be an hour.

• The other two specials will be 45 minutes each and hit the small screen sometime between Boxing Day and January 1st 2010. To clarify - the fourth '2009 Special' may actually be broadcast in 2010.


CASTING
• CATHERINE TATE and BERNARD CRIBBINS are to return as Donna Noble and Wilf respectively.

• JOHN SIMM is to return reprising his role as THE MASTER.

• BRIAN BLESSED is star in one of the specials. It is not clear if he is reprising the role of Yrcanos.

• GEORGIA MOFFETT is returning as The Doctor's daughter, Jenny.

• THE SEA DEVILS are making a return. They were last seen in the 1984 story WARRIORS OF THE DEEP.

• PAUL MCGANN has been said to return as The Eight Doctor by some sources though others (all trusted) say this is not the case but they haven't ruled it out either.


And lastly, another CHILDREN IN NEED special? Could be. Set to appear are: PETER DAVISON, SYLVESTER MCCOY and COLIN BAKER. This has not been sourced as thoroughly as the above bits of info so don't get too excited about it.

(What's with the broadcast dates? One lone one and then three close together? I guess that would support the idea they're bringing back someone major, if that turns about to be the case. Anyway.)

Let's recap that, shall we? DONNA. WILF. SIMM!MASTER. PAUL MCGANN. And Jenny and Peter Davison and Sylvester McCoy and Colin Baker, and the fact I'm not quite as flaily about those is a testament to JUST HOW MUCH the first four are making me explode. And yet, with the trying not to get hopes up and whatnot, because it's not as though any of this has been filmed yet or anything. And yet. DONNA.

There is not enough keysmashing in the world for this.

I KNOW I KNOW PANTHEON OF PAST DOCTORS WHO CARES DONNAAAAAAA.

Haha, also, I love that in terms of the show there's no real reason to bring John Simm back over a regeneration, and yet they might anyway because he's THAT AWESOME.

[crooked.livejournal.com]

WE CAN FLAIL ABOUT THIS UNTIL THE EPISODES ACTUALLY AIR BECAUSE EEEEE DONNA <33333333

ahaha inorite? i had thought to myself omfg John Simm needs to come back at least once to Who but knew there wasn't much of a reason for it. but this IS Doctor Who, after all. REASON SCHMEASON! XD

[such_heights]

AND SEEING AS IT WON'T BE FOR OVER A YEAR, WE MIGHT JUST HAVE TO!

I love how no one ever leaves this show any more, basically. And yup, this is not reason, THIS IS SCI-FI! Lo, we rejoice.

[lemonpotter.livejournal.com]

I know I've been really absent on lj lately, but I feel the need to comment and say DONNA! WILF! Simm-Master! OMG!
I actually just caught up on DW about a week or two ago.
It was very exciting. :)

[such_heights]

Hi, you, nice to see you back! And OMG indeed. *flaps*

[luzdeestrellas.livejournal.com]

DONNA OMG DONNA! OMG!

There is going to be fixing! Yes, yes, there is.

[such_heights]

Eeeee! Rusty just can't let go of his characters, can he? How I love him for it.

[samincittagazze.livejournal.com]

I clicked, couldn't help myself. But I'm so happy I did because DONNA. I NEED ME SOME DONNA. All of it sounds awesome sauce but the best is DONNNNAAAAAAAA.

[such_heights]

The power of Donna Noble compels you! :D :D :D

[sundayave.livejournal.com]

Btw, these were all collected from the DWF; in a fit of spoiler-hunting about a couple of weeks back, I trawled through the specials and series 5 spoiler thread and there they were LOL.

FEH about the broadcast dates, I don't know if I trust that one. Or Jenny, for that matter.

BUT THE REST? BRING IT ON!!

[such_heights]

Aha! Good to know. Jenny I buy into for a return at some point, so a special would make sense, and I guess a three episode arc over Christmas would actually make sense if they're really doing all of this? Sounds kind of crazy, though, probably not what the Beeb had in mind!

I WANT ALL OF IT. NOW, PREFERABLY.

[sundayave.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and the poster said it all with such conviction, I don't know if I believe it LOL! Hmm. The three-part special over Christmas and New Year's is a bit off with what Julie Gardner said once in an interview. I HOPE IT'S NOT TRUE. It wouldn't be fair to us for starters! D:

DONNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! WILF! MASTER! OMG! THIS, I HOPE IT'S TRUE!

[such_heights]

I DO BELIEVE IN SPOILERS, I DO, I DO.

[sunnyrea.livejournal.com]

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

I knew those rings at the end of "Last of the Time Lords" and "Journey's End" were foreshadowing! Yay!

[such_heights]

If they're connected somehow I will probably die of squee. \o/!

[saint-claws.livejournal.com]

We're only up to The Wasp and the Unicorn, so I don't know who all of these people are.

I THOUGHT DONNA WAS GOING TO GO? OMGGGGGG I LOVE HER HARD.

[such_heights]

Some of them are old series, Brian Blessed etc, I think Jenny's the newest out of them, who you've already seen.

SO DID I! SHE IS THE BEST, SHE IS TOO GREAT TO REALLY LEAVE.

[morebliss.livejournal.com]

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!!!!!! Oh god, what I would do to have a scene with both Donna and Simm!Master snarking at each other!!!!

[such_heights]

I. KNOW. Man, I want the fic already, hahahaha, it would be just amazing.

[wanderlight.livejournal.com]

John Simm is like a really, really good chocolate cake. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH OF HIM. AND IF YOU EAT HIM AND HE COMES BACK, ALL THE BETTER! :D

That made sense in my head.

[such_heights]
