This first tidbit may actually be more for the Christmas special than the actual season 2, but I thought I'd start off with this from Outpost Gallifrey:<br /><br /><i>It slowly begins... Outpost Gallifrey has learned that at least one retailer in downtown Cardiff has been approached regarding filming outside their store, said to be happening on August 1, a date we've heard may be the start of production on series two. Our contact reports that "we will be required to put a Christmas display in the window. As far as I know they will only be filming outside the store. It's in a place called The Hayes, in the city centre. It just so happens it's across the road from the department store that was used for Henricks in 'Rose'."</i><br /><br />Cardiff should be expected to appear, as this is a production of BBC Wales. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />Also, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has signed on to broadcast Season Two. <i>Still</i> no word on an American broadcaster. (Jerks.) They will also broadcast the Christmas special.<br /><br />Rumors of K9's return are actually legit. It's not yet formal, but Bob Baker and Dave Martin, creators of the metal mutt, have confirmed that they are in talks with the BBC for a return of everybody's favorite robotic pooch. For those who don't know K9, consider this: Bob Baker is also reknowned for creating another popular canine character, the lovable claymated Gromit for Aardman Animations.<br /><br />British Airways seems to be the airline to fly: for transatlantic entertainment, they are running "The End of the World" (ep 2 of the first series of the new Who), an episode of Star Trek, and an episode of Babylon 5. Thomsonfly airlines also apparently has taste: they are screening "Rose" on long flights.<br /><br />The character of Captain Jack will be returning, but not right away.<br /><br />Rumor has it that Stephen Fry may write an episode of the next season, although this has not been confirmed. It has been confirmed <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>
