Ok - so I just discovered a couple of bits of news about Dr Who.
First up - there was another mini-episode for the charity event "Children in Need" again. This time it's called "Time Crash" and has the tenth Docotor (David Tenant) meeting the fifth Doctor (Peter Davidson).
This epsiode has already been aired - and you can watch it on youtube if you want.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn_NDKNlUa8The other news is that the new series is bringing back another of the classic villians.
Apart from the Daleks, Cyber-men, and the Master - there was only one true villian that's missing from the new series. The Sontarans.
These guys were quite impressive in the original series - even able to invade the Time-Lord planet of Gallifrey for a while.
I hope they arent spoilt in the new series though. The Daleks have been - they have gone from a true menace to something pathetic. I'd love to see an episode where the Daleks win in the end. Of course - it couldnt be set on Earth. But something to give a reason for the Daleks to be feared again. At the moment it seems like a receipe - lots of Daleks turn up - Daleks become more human - Daleks all die except for one or two. Rince and repeat.
How about an episode where the Daleks conquer a planet and set it up as their base to grow more Daleks. Instead of the Doctor defeating them - he should just help the locals evacuate or something. Give the Daleks a break for once...
Other villians that could turn up are Davros (who invented the Daleks) and the Ice-Warriors. The Ice-Warriors werent always bad guys though - so they hardly count.
I'm not terribly impressed with the new Sontaran's appearance - so hopefully it'll look better in action.
