I haven’t posted anything Doctor Whoish lately, except the depressing news that David Tennant has knavishly abandoned his efforts to be the longest running Doctor yet.
However, If I don’t go searching, not much Doctor Who news comes my way, today I ran across this article, (at ComicMix News) which purports to be “what we know” about the upcoming specials – although, from the comments, I see a healthy dose of skepticism, which I’m more than pleased to to echo.
I’m skeptical, but it’s fun to speculate.
Read on if you want to hear things that sound like rumors, but might actually be spoilers…
- John Simm is back as the Master (I hope he’s grown a beard this time.)
- The Sea Devils will be back (Why not the Silurians?)
- Two episodes will be filmed in the US (What? Tennant needs another paid vacation on the British public’s license fees?)
- Catherine Tate will be back. (Please, please, someone, kill this idea now. Leave gone companions gone.)
- Davies has his hand in writing all four of them. (Argh, well, that makes the Catherine Tate rumor sound more realistic.)
- Brian Blessed will be in one. (Brian Blessed, always a classic, but I still find it hard to believe he’s the same man that was in the Avengers’ episode, the Superlative Seven)
- Albert Finney might be Winston Churchill (Nothing to see here, move along folks.)
