Series 5. YOUR OPINION
If Series 5 Is Actually The Series That Is In 2010 (Aka The Next Proper Series Not Specials) Who Do You Think Will Be The Next Bad Guy/Girl/Alien/Robot ?, Who Do You Think The Next Companion Will Be ? And What Other Villains/Aliens/Events/Robots/Companions And Any Other Things Will Happen In The Next Series ? Please Reply To This At The Bottom As Im Sure Everyone Has An Opinion Who They Want And Who They Think Will Be In The Next Series? I Think Personally It Could Be:: The Reason Why I Think This Is Because The Daleks And Davros Have Just Been And The Cybermen Will Be In The Christmas Special And The Master Was In The 3rd Series. And I Personally Think That Creatures Like The Zygons, Ice Warriors And The Sea Devils and Etc Are Not Big Enough Characters To Be The Finale Villains, So I personally think it is Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
 * The Black Guardian,
 * The Rani
 * Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

For The Next Companion I Think It Will Be A Boy Because The Last Time We Had A Proper Boy Companion Was Vislor Turlough And I Wouldnt Call Adam Mitchell Or Mickey Smith a Companion As A Companion Because Adam Was Iniit For About 2 Mins And He Betrayed The Doctor And Mickey Smith Is Just An Old Boyfriend Of Full Time Companion Rose Tyler. Although Rumours Have Been Going Around That Mickey Smith Will Be playing The Part Of The New Companion Due To The Fact That He Said In Journeys End He Said He Didnt Know Whatt He Was Going To Do With His Life And Ended Going With Torchwood But We Dont Actually Know If He's Joining Torchwood and The Fact That Hes Staying In This Universe Other Than Rose's Parallel. I Dont Think Its A Girl Because Theres Has Been Loads All Though It Could Be River Song. But What Do You Think ?

Rumours Have It And What I Personally Think Is That Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh is Due To Appear In The Next Series. Are But What Do You Think ? - Signed Michael Downey

There is always two enemies from the classic series returning in the revived series. In series 1 the Autons and Daleks returned. In series 2 the Cybermen returned. In series 3 the Macra and the Master returned. In series 4 the Sontarans and Davros returned. Who next? For series 5, I've placed my bets on Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and the Kandy Man. Its just a theory. The evil dudeArnie 10:33, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey i just thought, how about Jenny as the doctors companion in series 5?

I know this isn't about Series 5 but what if the character called Hartigan to be played by Dervla Kirwan is really the Rani and she will return in the Series 5 finale. MercM, 18:14, 11 July 2008.

At this moment in time it is to far away to tell, besides the main villan of series 5 is likely to be Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Dark Lord Xander 23:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC) -

Though I don't think they're going to appear, I really would like the Mondasian Cybermen, the "originals", to come back to the series. How many times can Cybermen from a parallel would try and take over our world?

As to Michael's questions, I think the next villian will either be the Kandy Man or Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. I really hope the next companion is a past one, someone who, like Sarah Jane, the Doctor probably forgot about like Peri or Ace(since there younger than someone like Jo or Leela). Of the alien races they should bring back I think they should bring back the Sea Devils and the Silurians, the Great Intelligence and the Yeti, or the Rutans, which works well since the Sontarans have returned.

I don't feel positive the Rani will return in Series 5 as it may be better to forget the "hand" so that when she does come back it's all the more exciting. If she does come back, I hope Joan Collins plays her. It may also be interesting to have an alien from a novel appear, something like the N-Form or the Gappa. If I had to say the one thing I would like most to be brought to Doctor Who it would be Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. User:Steed 00:08, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

New Page for 2009 specials?
I think that, at least for now, until some official designation is given to next years specials, they should have their own page entitled '2009 special' or something similar, whilst this page is left for the series 5 proper. Taccer 07 19:58, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes I think there should be something like that so as to separate the two. I don't think they will be given any series number - just the "specials" so it's probably best to separate this from Series 5 which we know almost nothing about. Jack's the man - 20:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Big call
Article currently has this seemingly innocuous little statement:
 * David Tennant will return as The Doctor.

Isn't that slightly premature? What's your source for that?  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  08:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Perhapse "It is beleived David Tennant will return as The Doctor." or Rumoured would be better as if it is removed enirely it will be replaced within days Dark Lord Xander 08:46, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Right, but my point is that the article USED to say that. It used to hedge its bets, until the last edit.  Then someone (anon) came and changed the article in only one way: to sayd that DT WILL return.  So it makes me think it might be based on some actual report or something.  Course, the wording of this article is confusing right now, because it's not clear whether we're talking about the 2009 series of specials or the 2010 series.  Which is odd, because the BBC have definitely called only Doctor Who in 2010 "Series 5".  Maybe I'll change that now.   Czech Out   ☎ | ✍  17:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I haven't bothered to go back and look at the histories of previous Series pages to see how they're handled in early pre-production days such as this. So I'm not sure how we handle them.  But still I tried to give greater sourcing for statements such that there's at least not much speculation.  Czech Out   ☎ | ✍  18:01, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I think we should move the DT line to a behind the scenes that way its on the page (so Anon's) won't go re-adding it but also because it isn't likly to be officially confermed until next year at the earlest Dark Lord Xander 00:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Tennant rumor
I see someone has placed another "Tennant is leaving" rumor on the page with no source and no confirmation. I added a strongly-worded embedded note in hopes of preventing this from continuing. Until the BBC or a major piece of media like the Times announces it (in other words no Daily Mail, Daily Star, Daily Sport or Daily Fleabag reports, thank you very much; Guardian and Scotsman, maybe) such rumors should be treated a bogus and not included. Gardner announced at ComicCon that Tennant is in for the 2009 specials (so any reports of Morrissey taking over at Christmas 2008 are bogus) and all we have for certain is that he's "made his decision" regarding 2010. No doubt an announcement will be made in due course, but perhaps not for awhile if Davies is trying to avoid the spoilers that ruined Eccleston's supposed-to-be-surprise regeneration. Granted, Gardner's comments could be part of a smokescreen, but unless or until she is proven to have fibbed her statements have to be treated as authoritative. 23skidoo 03:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, David Tennant's contract is around for 5 years so if I am correct that gives him until 2010 but with this Gap Year thing perhaps 2011. -The Doctor Forever 04:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

GAP YEAR?!
NO THEY CAN'T! Seriously?! No Doctor Who until 2010?! That's impossible and I have to wait until August because I live in Australi! Someone PLEASE tell me that it's not true! -The Doctor Forever 04:19, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
