I'll probably turn off if that last one is true

Moff needs to come up with a lot of new, interesting and deep bad guys to keep my attention I'm afraid. Having an army of Daleks or cybermen invade the planet again before being wiped out and the day is saved...oh cliche.

I do have faith that the bloke who made statues scary in Blink , will bring a lot of menace to any returning baddies

one can only hope he has his own vision of what the

should be, rather than the stomping, unmenacing figures with irritating and at times inaudible voices that have been depicted since the series came back. they got the design right but the scripts did not serve them particularly well imo.

Same poster has now said that , sorry it's spoilers again but they do have a good track record of inside info.

Sheridan Smith is potentially being set up as the companion following Amy Pond. It's suggested that Karen Gillan is only staying for one season , no reason why given , the actress has apparently been superb

---

. Possibly Amy isn't all she seems or is maybe a villain
Didn't spoiler that last sentence as it's my own thoughts

Mmmm BG, you did a great job of hiding the name in a spoiler, only to give away the game with your precise description!!!!!


I like

Sheridan as lucie Miller

So have no problem if that is true....

oops! b*****! sorry folks.

[David0056]

I really hope this is true, I've been wishing for her to be the new companion for ages now!

Hmm, I think it's too early to know this stuff for sure, reading The Writers Tale shows you that nothings set in stone till it happens. It's also worth noting the GB poster in question, The Doctors Trainers, is of course not infallible, he swore blind for weeks that Paul McGann was going to be in The End of Time in a scene showing Genghis Khan's assembled hordes trying to get in the TARDIS. It could well be that he was deliberately fed bad information by the production office, but that could also be happening now.

Actually, methinks the most interesting thing he said was Gaiman's script might not be ready for the coming season, hence the denials. There is a plan B of course, which brings us back to nothing being set in stone.

If the cybermen are to return for the end of series five I really hope that Moff writes them really well. Also maybe this could be the return of the Mondas Cybers as well, cause as much as i love the cybermen as a villain I have felt that the RTD Cybus men have felt lacking

The Doctor's Trainers has been swearing blind that Paul McGann will appear in every series/the specials for over 18 months now. Some of his/her stuff came to pass, but the constant McGann hype never happens.

As for Gaiman's script, it's possible it might not be series 5 - after all, Jack Thorne has said he's either this series or the next, and the Writer's Tale tells us that they stock pile scripts up to and over a year in advance. We still have one from Gaitis that might be the story with

spoiler:

the Dalek

---

looking likely to now be in production, one from either Toby Whitehouse or Tom MacRae about

spoiler:

---

a haunted house

---

from series 4 still unproduced.

So Neil Gaiman's script might be being held of for series 6.

It might be Moffat wants one big name writer per series, so it's Curtis this series, Gaiman the next.

Isn't someone mentioned in spoilers contracted to a

As I'd just be spoiler-ing little blocks here and there, I'll do the lot:

spoiler:

Depends on a) the days they shoot these alleged sequences as you get two days off in theatre normally, like a Sunday and Monday and b) whether they production cleared SS to have a day off and her understudy take over. Besides is Legally Blonde still previewing? So it's possible she might be allowed some time off now rather than when the full run starts after press night.

---

However, I can't see this being right,

spoiler:

---

at least it not being Lucie Miller, even if it is Sheridan Smith, as it would so mess up the licencing contracts between the Beeb and Big Finish.

[stcoop]

According to someone who tried to book her for a Convention, Sheridan Smith is on stage in "Legally Blonde" until next October. And that comes straight from her Agent.

Ian Levine just posted on GB that he heard rumours KG and MS are in "a similar situation to Tom and Lalla".

I'm sorry, I am a terrible gossip.
