The Seven Doctors?

[wamdue]

The black girl, who's name I forget, is the companion for the "Other" Doctor, then for TenDoc

yes I wonder if she is going to be in any of the other specials, maybe just the first one, then between The Next Doctor & Special 1, she can be in 3 books.

It's definitely someone who claims to be the Doctor- he has a sonic screwdriver and a companion and everything.

If, as is looking increasingly likely, it's some kind of play-off of the audio story The One Doctor, then he'll be...

Spoiler: The Other Doctor

a con man staging fake problems which he comes in and pretends to sort out. Until a genuine threat - in this case the Cybermen - results in the genuine Doctor having to save the day.

this year's special features the Cybermen in Victorian London and the companion is an as-yet-unidentified male calling himself the Doctor.

Actually according Rusty, our Doctor is the companion to this "Other" Doctor.

It's not Rusty who said that, but one of the alleged spoiler folks on OG.

No, RTD said it too, on p. 490 of The Writer's Tale.

And I agree with your spoiler-coded comments- aside from the fact that spoiler sources have said as much, it's really the only possible answer.

Haven't got that - but AFAIK the pretence of Morrissey being a future *our* Doctor only lasts about ten minutes...

its looking a bit more likely than previous, we know Doctor Who is doing SOMETHING for CiN

There are some Children In Need-themed scenes from Doctor Who and Ashes To Ashes, a musical extravaganza from Albert Square, featuring the cast of EastEnders, and a special edition of Junior Masterchef.

of course there are many things this could mean, so read in to it what you will.

They have taken out any reference to Doctor Who now. I looked at it today and it now says:

very true, the Ashes to Ashes thing, also features the guys from Top Gear

^ Ah, so that explains the bizarre Radio Times cover I saw in Tesco the other day!

yes, not sure how its going to work, but given how the limbo the show exists it, I think they can just about get away with it.

That's what I was thinking.
