Uber Delux Mega Spoiler!

Look away immediately if you don't want to be spoiled regarding future Doctor Who episodes. I have no idea how much this ruins about the finale to David Tennant's era as the Doctor, so to be on the safe side I advise you only read this if you're really, really sure that you don't mind discovering a plot secret almost eight months ahead of broadcast.

You have been warned.

Elisabeth Sladen and Tommy Knight recorded scenes yesterday for the forthcoming Christmas and New Year's Doctor Who specials - which conclude with the Tenth Doctor regenerating into Matt Smith's Eleventh. David Tennant was present, and had a brief scene with Knight (last time their characters interacted was via computer screen - the actors never met).

John Simm's Master was also thought to be present.

Bear in mind that this adventure airs after The Sarah Jane Adventures' third season has concluded on British TV - if the traditional September through to December slot keeps - so this will likely be set after that. The implication means that Sarah Jane and Luke survive the events of series 3 (as if they wouldn't...)

Master filming spy - and former SJ.tv reporter - Scooty has a collection of images from filming.

Russell T Davies is interviewed in today's Telegraph, and states that "It's not quite as easy to guess what's happening as you think - there's nightmare sequences, and layers of fantasy, because the Doctor's coming to the end of his time. It's quite interesting to watch things being filmed, and think: 'Oh, I can see what that would look like...'" So, is this scene everything it first appears?

(The clapperboard confirms it's for Doctor Who, and definitely not the SJA before you ask...)

More on this exciting story when the news comes in to us.

(Oh, and here's my own little crazy theory about "he will knock four times", if you wanna hear. Go ahead and knock twice in very quick succession on the desk infront of you - sounds uncannily like a human heart beat. Now, imagine four knocks - that'd be twice as many heartbeats; the same as a man with two hearts would produce...)

Could Sarah Jane and Luke be part of some elaborate dream sequence? Were these the only scenes shot with the duo?! Oooh the mystery!

This could, quite possibly, be the last appearance by the SJA cast - if the show doesn't make it into a fourth series - so I'm really looking forward to it! It may be 8 months away, but I'm already planning to make a bit of an event out of it! Been dying to throw another SJA party again!

I'm liking the theory on the four knocks! It's either Matt Smith or John Simms doing the knocking, m'thinks - but it's too early to tell! Oh, it's going to be an agonising wait!

Had a look at the photo's. i think the ones that intrest me are the ones where david is pushing tommy back. And where is sarah jane when luke is by himself? i just hope rani and clyde dont die in season 3 of sarah jane. Plus why is donna in her wedding dress again?

I'm not sure I buy the Sarah Jane/Luke cameo as a dream sequence. Why? Because they're outside Bannerman Road, and The Doctor's never been to Bannerman Road, and if it's a dream sequence how are Luke and Sarah Jane going to get into the TARDIS and whizz off into series five at the end?

Ahem.

Excited, though. Bloody hell. Months and months worth of excited.

For god's sake doctor you're pathetic. There was a time when you saved the universe from daleks, cyberman, autons, zygons and all manner of space-thuggery now you're saving stray teenagers from passing cars? How come the tardis just happens to be parked in bannerman road. It all seems a bit random.

who cares said...

I gotta say though. Luke's new jacket looks fab. Never could stand that old blue thing from series two.

Nabu San said...

Yeah, thank goodness he lost the chavvy jacket. Coupled with the new hairstyle, he now he has a certain degree of trendyness. Which is far more age appropriate, I think. You can see his wardrobe advancing with every season.

Though - despite being a genius, Luke does seem a bit of a dunce for crossing the road whilst talking on his moby. I bet you a tenner he's namechecking either Clyde or Rani to confirm they're still around...somewhere.

who cares said...

This new Jacket suits him perfectly. It's casual yet neat. The last one was casual but it wasn't neat far from it actually. It just wasn't Luke and yeah they're dumbing him down which sucks. I'm guessing he's talking to Clyde because mentioning the name Rani in a DW episode equals opening Pandora's box.

I find it rather odd that the TARDIS was parked just down the road and nobody noticed. Wouldn't old Smithy pick up on that kind of thing?

Still, I let me opinion be known;
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So there.

who cares said...

Well Mr.Smith is off-line unless he's needed. The odd thing is that it just happens to be parked there (when he's clearly not paying Sarah a visit) not that it hasn't been noticed. I mean as long as Sarah's indoors (which she is at the start of the scene) no-one would notice.

All very exciting! Can't wait!

One other suggestion on the "he will knock four times" crazy theory: Try knocking four times in quick succession, pause for a half second, and repeat.

A drumbeat!?
