[HIDE]So I guess it'll be sort of like "The One Doctor" audio play with an imposter Doctor? But in Victorian England with Cyberman? I like it.[/HIDE]

I like the outfit too, really looking forward to this.

Morrisey is a solid actor. I loved that filming for the special confounded the **** out of fans during the fourth season when they were fearing the prospect of Tennant leaving, but playing The Doctor in a crossover with his successor.

The first few pages of the script for the special are in RTD's "The Writer's Tale" book which detailed the complete production of season four. The original ending for "The Stolen Earth" also included a "What, What, What" scene involving The Cybermen which was cut at the last minute to make Donna's departure look more relevant and meaningful.

The specials for 2009 are now classified as Season 4.5, making it DW's longest season since it's return.

I've also heard some small rumours for season five

[hide]-The Daleks appear in the season premiere. Moffat will write this story and he's apparently been ordered to incorporate them because the license to use them was restored by the BBC and The Nation Estate
-Tom Baker may appear as the star of a former television show in an adaptation of Mark Gatis' New Adventures Novel "Nightshade"
-The Ice Warriors appear in another story
-The main villains of the fifth season will tie in closely to Tennant and Moffat's ethnic background (I.E, they were last active in Scotland...big clue)
-Tennant will either regenerate at the end of season five or half-way through season six if a movie is commisioned[/hide]

Theres also the rumor about Neil Gaiman writing a serial

I knew that was bullshit. But good to hear some new news on The Doctah.
