Doctor Who first started in the UK on the 23rd November 1963 and ran continually
until 1989. (There was a test screening of the pilot episode a week previously
in a small area of London but that doesn't count!) Doctor Who continued
in the form of books, stage plays, comics, magazines and audio adventures.
In 1996 a US/UK co-financed telemovie burst onto our screens. It didn't
rate well in the US so a series was never taken up. 2005 and Russell T
Davies got the nod to bring back Doctor Who as a TV series. Woo hoo!
Following are speculations for Season 4:
40X. Voyage
of the Damned

401. Partners
in Crime
193. 050408 by Russell T Davies Donna Noble is investigating some strange goings on with the mysterious and powerful businesswoman Miss Foster and her diet pill company. The Doctor and Donna are investigating the same thing but continually miss each other. But why does Miss Foster have her own sonic pen? A comedy episode. And who is that strangely familiar blonde person who appears for a few seconds at the end of the episode then fades away?
402. The
Fires of Pompeii
403. Planet
of the Ood
404. The
Sontaran Strategem
407. The
Unicorn and the Wasp

408. Silence
in the Library
409. Forest of the Dead 198. 240508 by Steven Moffat 310508 The Doctor and Donna land on a library planet in the 51st century that had been abandoned 100 years ago. The library contains trillions of books each showing the future history of individuals. Histories that haven't happened yet. The Doctor and Donna encounter dead bodies, data ghosts, the Suit Creature, Vashta Nerada (piranhas of the air – shadows that melt the flesh) and archaeologist Professor Bernice Summerfield - oops sorry - I mean Professor River Song played by Alex Kingston. At the end of part 1 Donna is separated from the Doctor and finds herself in a mysterious hospital administered by Irving Braxiatel - oops sorry - I mean Doctor Moon. Turlough, oops, I mean Donna starts receiving strange images of a girl with blond hair. The girl's name is Rose and she warns Donna of a plan by the Daleks and an old enemy of the Doctor's to destroy her universe. 410. Midnight
411. River's Run
Confirmed that this final story will feature Rose, Mickey, Pete, Jackie, Sarah Jane, Captain Jack, Martha Jones and K9 as well as Donna and the Doctor. Gwen and Ianto from Torchwood also make a brief appearance. It'll also feature Davros played by Julian Bleach. It is likely to feature Sontarans and Daleks in a war as well as other aliens in a final gobsmacking battle. Davros has been located by Caan and he is helping the Dalek to create a new race of Daleks. In a shock development in the final episode, a Dalek casing opens to reveal Harriet Jones, played by Penelope Wilton, the mother of all the new Daleks. The Daleks have enslaved 21st century London, but which London? Rumoured to feature the newly created daughter of the Doctor. It's also possible the Master will be back in this episode, manipulating everything from behind the scenes, through Donna. Somewhere in this story, the Doctor and co travel to an alternate future with the Daleks running the world and greenhouse gases at an all time high. This would also be story number 200 as well as a story for the 45th anniversary so Russell will probably pull out all the stops. The final scenes, revealed in released pictures awhile ago, suggest that the Doctor is involved in a freak explosion which splits him into two Doctors, and Sarah, Jack, Martha, Rose and Donna try to put him back together. Final scene spoiler
This is believed to be a crash and burn story which wipes out almost anything that Russell T Davies has had a hand in creating in the past few years so that the new producer can start with a clean slate, so to speak. Message for RTD. PLEASE PLEASE don't make any of these stories a global warming story. While most people on Earth think it's carbon causing the increasing temperature the Doctor would KNOW it is just the sun's solar cycle. If there's anything about carbon/global warming, please let it be the other characters who say it. At least Stargate Atlantis included an off-the-cuff remark to confirm to viewers they were going to stick to the facts - "Rodney: This isn't some kind of cyclical climate change..." 40X2. The 7 Doctors (Suggested Title)

Season 5 2009 notes
50X. Ghosts in the Machines 201. 251208 by Russell T Davies The Doctor arrives in Victorian London and encounters two very different types of Cybermen. The Cybus Cybermen and some diamond headed wraith-like Cybermen (this universe's Cybermen?) They've taken over a graveyard and look set to take over the planet through stealth. The Doctor calls on Rose to help him. Troops of Cybermen attack a major Market place in snow covered London. Donna may be in the special if she isn't killed off in Journey's End. 50S Rose Tyler: Earth Defender:
60X The End of Time
Other notes for the 2009 season
It's still rumoured that Jennifer Saunders appears as a temporary Doctor either in the Christmas Special or the Children in Need special. Remember what happened in the first Christmas special when the Doctor lost his hand? Well, other things can happen in that period! 2010 Series Robert Carlyle as the 11th Doctor? NB: In February 2008 the BBC confirmed Season 5 for 2010 Visit
