The Next Doctor Christmas Special Preview
On November 14th BBC-Children in Need 2008 will have an exclusive preview of the forthcoming Doctor Who Christmas Special. This two-minute clip entitled The Next Doctor will show the Doctor played by David Tennant in Victorian England alongside another “Doctor” played by David Morrissey. Rumor has it that the story takes place in the alternate universe occupied by the Cybermen, not the normal universe. It’s only a few months away until he Christmas Special airs and I can’t wait!
David Tennant has also announced that 2009 will be the last season he will be playing The Doctor. David Tennant took the role of The Doctor in 2005 after Christopher Eccleston helped revive the series. In 2009 there will be a series of 3 Doctor Who Specials written by Russell T Davis in place of a full season and will return in 2010 with a new actor playing the Doctor for a full season.

Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a scifi series from BBC that focuses on the adventures of The Last Time Lord and his travels through Time and Space in his T.A.R.D.I.S (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space), which I may add is shaped like an English police telephone box. Originally intended as children’s history show when it premiered in 1963 the show quickly took on a life of its own and became the preverbal “hide behind the sofa” monster show for children to watch and be entertained by running until 1986 and spawning 7 incarnations of the Doctor through out the original run of the show. I’ve been a whovian since the early 80’s, tuning in the adventures of Doctor Who being played by Tom Baker was one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday night. Making sure the rabbit ears where tuned and the channel was coming in with maybe only one or two wavy lines as the Doctor and his companions in the TARDIS fought off the evil Manicheans of villains like the Cybermen, Master and the Daleks.
Thank Gawd BBC decided to revive this wonderful show with the help of Russell T. Davis. Since 2005 we’ve had the chance to enjoy the Doctors adventures once again with season 4 just wrapping up on the SciFi channel here in the US. The producers did a great job reintroducing the character with such a rich history through the eyes of a new companion Rose Tyler, using this format in the first season we were taken on the same wild ride Rose was as we learned more and more of the Doctor. If you haven’t given this show a chance yet I highly suggest it, you won’t be disappointed.
