31 Mar. News outlets all over Britain have become absolutely
flooded with either news or speculation about the new series. Interviews
with Julie Gardner, Russell T Davies, Freema Agyeman and David Tennant
have filled the airwaves, promoting the series without actually saying
anything more than has come before.
At last count I have a list of 20 links to news reports. A lot of the reports focus on the kiss and the Judoon.
