Oh that does look good EXCEPT that I could really do without the Doctor-as-my-true-love motif that Ms Tate is voicing there, even if she is speaking symbolically - let's hope that gets nipped in the bud immediately.

Looks great. Am with Marie though. Please, please, please. NO MORE LOVE INS in the TARDIS. WE DON'T WANT THEM. I rather liked the old boy at the end of the Christmas edition. Can't we have him as the next companion? Or how about (and this would be novel and you can have it courtesy of a dream I had of being a companion) - a middleaged mum who happens to be a scientist and gets separated from her family and goes off with the Doctor and can't get home. Ok I know that's a bit Alex Drake, but as a stay at home mum I rather like the idea of occasionally getting a flight out of domesticity via the tardis. And it would be different. And there'd be no danger that I'd fall in love with the Doctor as I'd have my own hero at home. I can't see RTD going for it though, somehow...

Every bloody time I go to the cinema I see this trailer. I hate it even more than that Orange ad with Snoop Dogg, and that's saying something.

MediumRob replied to AnnaWaits's comment:

Well… I'd argue that the Doctor reciprocating in the Rose relationship was the special thing. It might be that RTD and co are going for a spectrum of relationships between the Doctor and his companions.

Rose: companion loves Doctor, Doctor loves companion
Martha: companion loves Doctor, Doctor doesn't love companion and the whole thing's done for pathos
Donna: companion loves Doctor, Doctor doesn't love companion and the whole thing's done for laughs

Rose is still special and therefore that relationship isn't undermined - in fact it's shown as more special by the fact the Doc's not bed hopping.

Given that next year we're going to get a load of specials, Catherine Tate ain't going to be around for them and neither are Freema or Billy, I'd suspect that there's going to be a lone Doctor (with temporary companion) for the specials and we're going to be shown that as the norm, which will make the Rose relationship even more special.

Plus what is a credible motivation for Donna, not exactly the most dynamic of people and past the normal age when people get the exploring bug, to suddenly want to up sticks and go travelling? There are a few, some of them good, but fancying the bloke she's going travelling with is one of the more likely.

"What is a credible motivation for Donna, not exactly the most dynamic of people and past the normal age when people get the exploring bug, to suddenly want to up sticks and go travelling?"

Boredom.

I think it would be much more interesting if RTD got away from the fancying the Doc stuff and introduced companions who could have other sorts of relationships with him: best mates, perhaps, or a mother/son dynamic, or a father/child one. We know the Doctor had at least one child - he had a granddaughter originally (is Susan dead? Do we know?), and in the last series he mentioned losing a child. Isn't that an interesting area to explore?

My kids get really bored with what they term the kissy kissy stuff, and would rather see funny companions. They all still love Mickey the most.

My mind is boggling about the proposed foursome in the Tardis, and am hoping it doesn't turn into a lovein...

I think Rose will come back via a time rift in parallel universe Cardiff where she is working for Torchwood. Though I must say I do like the idea of another parallel universe Rose who doesn't know the Doctor at all...

God I'm glad they didn't make Martha gay! I pretty much assumed Susan was dead. I think she left the original series didn't she to settle down or something. I do have very very vague William Hartnell memories, but I have seen the original where Barbara and Ian follow Susan several times.

I hope they do bring Jack back. He's much better in Dr Who then in Torchwood (not difficult). Funnily enough I thought Martha's turn in Torchwood really brought the series to life. I thought she made quite a good sparring partner for Owen.
