Okay this I've typed up from Sundays News of the World

Emigrate!
Emigrate!
Dr’s US Trip
By Dan Wootton - News of the World August 24 2008

Doctor Who is filming two of next year’s four specials in AMERICA – in a move that will boost David Tennant’s career Stateside. The show will be the 37 year old star’s last, then the doc will regenerate into another actor. Viewers will see David arrive in the US to save the world with a BIG-NAME American female assistant. Series chiefs are also planning a Doctor Who Movie- but it is not known who will be the lead.
A BBC source said “Doctor Who already has a huge following in the States. It’[s on the Sci0fi Channel and is watched by millions of people there every week.

Explosive

“But two specials in America, with a US setting and a US assistant, will take it to another level. David Tennant is already gaining a huge following and this will make him really hot property” The four specials will also be the finial episode for the shows Boss Russell T. Davies. He is handing the reins to Producer Stephen Moffat for the next series in 2010. The insider added: “Russell is determined to go out with a Bang and the Specials will be Explosive. We’re spending much more money on them than normal”
Moffat is working on a Doctor Who Film and would love to get legendary director Steven Spielberg involved. He said “It would be great to see it in the Cinemas-as long as it doesn’t get in the way of the show”

Wow... I thought Seffy was bitching about SGA but it looks like British shows are being affected as well :thumbsdown:

Let me check that I got that right Steven Spielberg? Oh god.... :uhuhuh:

the fruits of that labour must not come to past.....

I miss the proper offworldness of the classic Doctor Who. I would accuse this as just being an attempt to better promote the show over there, but they blatantly state it in the article. I don't mind too much, but they need to get off earth for a while, they don't need to keep it on earth like they have been.

I don't like the way they say it is a "big name" actress, it makes it sound like they are using her to get even more viewers, rather than it being a coincidental casting.

What I am really curious about is who they will cast as the next doctor, we are getting closer and closer to Valeyard, I hope they don't forget him when we get to the death of the doctor number 12

Robert Carlisle
Robson Green
James Nesbitt

Three names of actors who have been linked to the role once DT does leave. Place your bets boys.

I would say James Nesbit because I think it would be cool, at least for a couple of episodes but then I might get a bit fed up

anyone catch the Childrens in need speciel?

Lol that was funny, but what does it mean by To be continued? What happens at Christmas

I saw it, and don't believe it. It seems to be some kind of joke, or hoax based on stories people have heard, afterall

Spoiler: Select all: wouldn't a future doctor recognise his past self? He didn't have a proper sonic screwdriver. I don't see her as being a future companion and that wasn't a proper cyberman

however I am curious about what was happening and can't wait to see the episode

I don't know about anyone else but I try very hard to forget Trial Of A Timelord let alone the Valeyard, however I did like episodes 9-12 so if I want to watch that I have to endure that stupid trial!!!!

I'm sure the maker of the current series will not remember the Valeyard
