<p>I just did a quick search and found that the Paul McGann rumor was debunked by the Beeb only a day after it appeared in the Sun.&nbsp; So that one was one of their spectacular misses.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However......&nbsp; The Beeb hasn't come forward to deny the Stewart rumor yet.&nbsp; One wonders!!! </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

<p>This rumor is being reported by multiple news sources; of course, it could still prove untrue, but the rumor is that another Doctor Who special is being planned for Children In Need.&nbsp; A Doctor Who story was produced for Children In Need years ago, called "Dimensions In Time".&nbsp; it was a multi-Doctor, multi-companion piece featuring the Rani as the main villain.&nbsp; It is often reviled by fans for its exceedingly low production values and somewhat minimal script.&nbsp; But it's a charity production -- all the work is being donated -- so one shouldn't go too hard on it.</p><p>If this rumor is correct, Doctor Who will again contribute to Children In Need, for broadcast on November 14, in a special featuring all seven living Doctors: Tom Baker, Peter Davidson, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, and David Tennant.&nbsp; The rumor remains unconfirmed, and one should take it with a bit of skepticism, especially as all of these men have busy schedules, and some have mixed feelings about the show and the circumstances in which they left it.&nbsp; Most would be enthusiastic about it, if they're available, but it's a coordination nightmare.</p><p>I'd be tickled pink if they did it.&nbsp; ;-) </p><p>&nbsp;http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/3183974/Seven-Dr-Whos-set-for-reunion.html</p><p>&nbsp;http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/latest/2008/10/12/all-surviving-doctor-who-actors-to-appear-in-one-ff-tv-speciall-115875-20797378/</p><p>The latter one also reports that Georgia Moffett (daughter of Peter Davidson, and actress who played the Doctor's daughter in the last season) is now dating David Tennant.&nbsp; But rumors are rumors....&nbsp; Mind you, it could be concerning if this turns out to be true.&nbsp; Another Doctor famously got romantically involved with a costar, and it did not end well.&nbsp; (Tom Baker and Lalla Ward, whose brief marriage was the result of each actor falling in love with the other one's character on the series -- an occupational hazard, unfortunately.) Still, if it is true, I hope it goes well.</p><p>Meanwhile (again unconfirmed), Tennant is reportedly in talks to continue performing as the Doctor until 2011, which would give him two more seasons after the four specials in 2009.</p><p>http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/showbiz/article45417.ece</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

<p>There are those who would agree with you.&nbsp; On the other hand, the BBC always considered Paul McGann's single televised adventure to be a part of the series (unlike the movies starring Peter Cushing, which had no BBC involvement).&nbsp; When they took the Dr Who New Adventure line away from Virgin Publishing, they very consciously started out with Paul McGann as the "current" Doctor.&nbsp; And then when the new series started up, Christopher Eccleston was consistently referred to as the Ninth Doctor (despite the BBC's alternate Ninth Doctor, voiced by Richard E Grant in the Flash-animated adventure "Scream of the Shalka").&nbsp; In documentaries and such, care is always taken to include Paul McGann. </p><p>That said, the actual <strong>events</strong> of the "Whovie" are routinely ignored, including the silly "half human" bit.&nbsp; It's in the same bin as the Doctor's extra lives (ref. "The Brain of Morbius"), WOTAN calling him "Doctor Who" (ref. "The War Machines"), and UNIT dating (enormously complicated by "Mawdryn Undead").&nbsp; ;-)</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

Outpost Gallifrey reports that the 2009 Easter special will be written by Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts.&nbsp; Roberts wrote "Attack of the Graske", "The Shakespeare Code", and "The Unicorn and the Wasp".&nbsp; James Strong, another veteran of the new series, will direct. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

<p>I regret to post that David Tenant has announced that the next season of Doctor Who will be his last:</p><p><em>David Tennant has revealed he will quit Dr Who at the end of next year, ending months of speculation over his future in the role.</em></p><p><em>The announcement came as the star won most popular actor at the National Television Awards and the show picked up the accolade&nbsp; for most popular drama.</em></p><p><em>Despite his awards success, the BBC confirmed last night that the star will not play the Time Lord for the fifth series, which is planned for 2010.</em></p><p><em>'I feel very privileged to have been part of this incredible phenomenon, and whilst I'm looking forward to new challenges I know I'll always be very proud to be the Tenth Doctor.'</em></p><p><em>It is understood the Scottish actor, who has recently received rave reviews playing Hamlet in the Royal Shakespeare Company production in Stratford, is keen to try new projects.</em></p><p><strong>Full Article</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

<p>Awwwww.......</p><p>Disappointing, but given the announced title of the Christmas special, it's not totally shocking.&nbsp; I wonder if the fellow who will be appearing in this Christmas special will be the actual 11th Doctor in 2010, or if that's a red herring? </p><p>Of course, I can't really blame Tennant.&nbsp; Three seasons in the role, plus the specials in 2009.&nbsp; That's actually about average for a Doctor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>William Hartnell: 3 seasons</p><p>Patrick Troughton: 3 seasons</p><p>Jon Pertwee: 5 seasons </p><p>Tom Baker: 7 seasons (easily the record-holder)</p><p>Peter Davison: 3 seasons </p><p>Colin Baker: 2 seasons</p><p>Sylvester McCoy: 3 seasons</p><p>Paul McGann: 1 story</p><p>Christopher Eccleston: 1 season</p><p>David Tennant: 3-4 seasons, depending on whether or not you count the 4 specials as a full season </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

Personally, I always had a soft-spot for John Pertwee.&nbsp; I thought in his own way, he was easily as good a Doctor as Tom Baker, his successor.&nbsp; IMO, of course. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

<p>...and Wikipedia is so addictive.&nbsp; ;-)</p><p>The average age of a Doctor (meaning the age of the actor at the time their first episode transmits) is 41.6.&nbsp; The oldest was William Hartnell, at age 55.&nbsp; The youngest was Peter Davison, at age 30.&nbsp; Tennant was the second-youngest, having taken the role at age 34.</p><p>Half of the Doctors were born in London.&nbsp; Two were born in Liverpool, one in Manchester, one in Argyle, and one in the vicinity of Edinborough.</p><p>The guy who will play the alleged "next Doctor" in the Christmas special is&nbsp; David Morrisey.&nbsp; Will he really be the new Doctor?&nbsp; Or is Russell T Davies jerking our chain yet again?&nbsp; Either seems likely.&nbsp; Like two past Doctors (Tom Baker and Paul McGann), he was born in Liverpool.&nbsp; He's 44 years old, not an unusual age for a Doctor.&nbsp; (He's just a few months younger than Christopher Eccleston.)&nbsp; And he's well-regarded as an actor.&nbsp; Hmmmm......&nbsp; ;-)</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

<p>It has been rumored that the new Doctor may be announced during the upcoming "Children in Need" charity special (which may or may not really include an all-living-Doctors skit) . </p><p>Here are some new odds, from a different source, reported by Outpost Gallifrey.&nbsp; This again does not include all rumored actors, but no list could.&nbsp; ;-)&nbsp; I'm a little surprised nobody's rumored Patrick Stewart (especially after the rumor of him possibly playing the Meddling Monk), and surprised some of the old "classic" rumors haven't resurfaced.&nbsp;&nbsp; Roger Daltrey, for instance, was rumored at each transition starting in the mid-80s when Peter Davison left, right up through David Tennant taking the role.&nbsp; And nobody's mentioned Joanna Lumley either.&nbsp; Are they finally free of the Whovian rumor mill?&nbsp; :-D</p><p>ODDS ON NEW DOCTOR FROM PADDY POWER (3rd Nov 2008)<br />2/1 David Morrisey <br />6/1 Paterson Joseph <br />8/1 James Nesbitt, Chiwetel Ejiofor<br />10/1 Russell Tovey, John Simm<br />12/1 Anthony Head <br />14/1 Robert Carlyle, David Walliams<br />16/1 Richard E Grant <br />18/1 Richard Coyle, Aidan Gillen, Alan Davies, Sean Pertwee <br />20/1 Jason Statham, Harry Lloyd, Nigel Harman, Marc Warren, Jack Davenport<br />25/1 Julian Walsh, Adrian Lester, Alexander Armstrong<br />33/1 Julian Rhind-Tutt, Rupert Penry-Jones, James McAvoy<br />40/1 Bill Nighy, Stephen Fry, Ben Wishaw <br />50/1 John Barrowman, Ben Miles, David Suchet, Hugh Laurie <br />66/1 Gary Oldman, Matt Smith, Paul Bettany, Joel Beckett, Christopher Eccleston <br />80/1 Alex Kingston, Dean Lennox Kelly, Christopher Villiers<br />100/1 Ricky Gervais <br />150/1 Hugh Grant, Russell Brand, Vinnie Jones<br />200/1 Robbie Williams&nbsp; </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

<p>David Tennant reportedly contributed to that rumor, but was probably joking.&nbsp; I find that rumor highly unlikely.&nbsp; ;-)&nbsp; But you never know!&nbsp; Still, the bookies seem to agree, as she's not making lists of odds.&nbsp; Reportedly, William Hill lowered their odds on a female Doctor from 20/1 to 12/1 after the interview with Tennant. </p><p>Here's another set of odds (cut-and-pasted from Outpost Gallifrey):</p><p>ODDS ON NEW DOCTOR FROM PADDY POWER (3rd Nov 2008)<br />2/1 David Morrisey <br />6/1 Paterson Joseph <br />8/1 James Nesbitt, Chiwetel Ejiofor<br />10/1 Russell Tovey, John Simm<br />12/1 Anthony Head <br />14/1 Robert Carlyle, David Walliams<br />16/1 Richard E Grant <br />18/1 Richard Coyle, Aidan Gillen, Alan Davies, Sean Pertwee <br />20/1 Jason Statham, Harry Lloyd, Nigel Harman, Marc Warren, Jack Davenport<br />25/1 Julian Walsh, Adrian Lester, Alexander Armstrong<br />33/1 Julian Rhind-Tutt, Rupert Penry-Jones, James McAvoy<br />40/1 Bill Nighy, Stephen Fry, Ben Wishaw <br />50/1 John Barrowman, Ben Miles, David Suchet, Hugh Laurie <br />66/1 Gary Oldman, Matt Smith, Paul Bettany, Joel Beckett, Christopher Eccleston <br />80/1 Alex Kingston, Dean Lennox Kelly, Christopher Villiers<br />100/1 Ricky Gervais <br />150/1 Hugh Grant, Russell Brand, Vinnie Jones<br />200/1 Robbie Williams&nbsp; </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
