Doctor Who: Christmas Special 2008: The Next Doctor
In brief: Russell you cheeky so and so!!
In depth:
I’ve come to the opinion that Russell T Davies is quite possibly the most evil man known to exist. Oh sure. He writes for a show that enthrals the nations kids but quite simply he is just diabolical.
He deliberately chose a nicely ambiguous title – The Next Doctor.
If Batman did voiceovers…
Happy Christmas, all.
Majel Barrett-Roddenberry Passes Away
The actress and widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, Majel Barrett-Roddenberry passed away yesterday at home in California.
Best known as Nurse Chapel and the voice of the computer on Star Trek, Barrett-Roddenberry had been suffering from leukemia which had been diagnosed earlier this year.
She also played Lwaxana Troi on Star Trek The Next Generation.
She had just completed voice recording for Star Trek XI, meaning she had featured in almost every movie and series of the long-running franchise.
She also had recurring roles on Babylon 5 and Earth: Final Conflict.
A firm fan favourite, she will be sorely missed, and our condolences are with the family.

David Tennant’s Own Journey’s End
Chris got here before I did… so in that regard I’m not going to offer much in the way of news… but more some immediate thoughts on the announcement.
Perfect Ten will be sincerely missed.
I think the last series proved how completely David Tennant encapsulated his version of the Doctor. How thoroughly he understood what the role was.
And frankly, for myself, how much of a sheer joy he was to behold. His enthusiasm was nothing short of infectious.
If Tennant was a drug on the market, I’d be on it.
David Tennant Quits Doctor Who
David Tennant has stated that he will stand down from the role of Doctor Who in BBC’s hit sci-fi series.
Tennant will remain in the role in the four special episodes which are broadcast next year, but in Tennant’s own words, "When Doctor Who returns in 2010 it won’t be with me".
"Now don’t make me cry," he added. "I love this part, and I love this show so much that if I don’t take a deep breath and move on now I never will, and you’ll be wheeling me out of the Tardis in my bath chair."
Tennant took up the role three years ago in 2005, becoming one the most popular Time Lords in the history of the long-running series.
No word, as of yet, on his replacement. Expect the ever-linked-to-everything Johnny Depp to crop up at least once, since every male role in the Northern Hemisphere seems to be his next.
