On the heels of the success of Torchwood: Children of Earth, the following clip has been released for the next Doctor Who special:
The companion here is Adelaide, played by Lindsay Duncan. The notes on her is that she is the very strong-minded head of Mars Base, and is not too happy about the Doctor’s interference.
This special is set to air in November. My guess would be around Thanksgiving, but as that’s not a British holiday it’s certainly not a given. Two other specials are set to air this year, but no details are available beyond the spoiler for the Christmas special previously mentioned.
Just from this short clip, it looks like a classic episode. Running around, and weird, passive, yet obviously dangerous aliens taking over human bodies. This could be a creepy one.
And since we’re on Doctor Who, here’s an unsubtantiated rumor via Slice of Sci-Fi about the annual Children in Need Doctor Who segment:
It could be the moment that “Doctor Who” fans have dreamed about for years or it could be another rumor.
British newspaper, the Daily Mirror is reporting that this year’s “Doctor Who” segment will feature the first-ever on-screen meeting of all eleven incarnations of the Doctor. Yes, that includes future Doctor Matt Smith and the most popular classic series Doctor, Tom Baker.
“This is a momentous episode for all Doctor Who fans,” the report says. “Never before have all the Doctors been in the same room, let alone in the same show. It’s been a logistical nightmare getting all the actors together and available for shooting on the same days. But the script has already been started and it’s classic Doctor Who – really witty and very sharp. Viewers will see the Time Lords regenerating and emerging one by one from the TARDIS, each with their own quirky opening line. David Tennant is the central character in the episode. He’s trying to hunt down some special time travel apparatus. What he’s actually lost has not yet been decided, but the idea is for all the other Doctors to club together to help David find it. The actors who are no longer with us, William [Harntell], Jon [Pertwee] and Patrick[Troughton], will make special cameo appearances, with footage from original shows being flashed up on screen. It’s a really exciting project – and all for a good cause.”
The BBC has not confirmed the latest rumor, saying that any plans for this year’s Children in Need segment have not been finalized.
Sounds cool, but this kind of rumor has surfaced almost every year. I’m not holding my breath.

Sorry but RTD has said there won’t be any special Dr Who scene for Children in Need this year because there wasn’t time. He says they’ll prolly show the pre-credits of the next special. See the interview at the link below.
