On the contrary, I'd quite like to see the lovely Freema in the show again.

Yes. There would be an outcry if the BBC was seen to be withholding HD content from cable. So far as I'm aware, the BBC-HD channel does not operate separate schedules for the different platforms it runs on.

Yes BBC HD is the same on all providers so we will get it.

I thought so, but Media Boys post implies not.

Geek aside point - do you know why Digiguide is numbering the 'new who' seasons as a continuation of the originals? The Beeb took a deliberate decision not to do that. If you take all of this year's specials as a 'series', they are series 5 of the revival, not series 31.

**Paul** · 04-04-2009, 18:06

Since they are all Dr Who, the BBC decision is a bit nonsense, how can a programme have two Series 1, 2, 3 etc.

In the same way that Star Trek: The Next Generation is numbered seasons 1-7 rather than 4-10 I suppose.

**Paul** · 04-04-2009, 18:09

Thats a different programme name though, Doctor Who is still just Doctor Who, not Doctor Who : TNG

**Chris** · 04-04-2009, 18:16

What's in a name? What we have now is Doctor Who, the next REgeneration.

The fact they don't put it in the opening credits is neither here nor there.

Wilfred Mott, Donna's Grandad is returning and will he the docs companion in David Tennant's last two episodes
