Just to warn everyone... I think I accidentally stumbled across a major spoiler on The Moon Online (I know, I know... I was bored, alright?). For obvious reasons I'm not going to tell anyone what it was, and I'm hoping it was just speculation, but I wouldn't read their Dr Who thread just in case.

One of today's nationals had the BBC warning Who fans to stay off the internet until Saturday, as they anticipate maximum spoilage. (Funny how they care about it NOW, but didn't give a shit when they were making the trailers, hmm?)

Also, I think they screened the episode for the press tonight, so expect it to be in the tabloids tomorrow…

Whatever happens, the Doctor is going to need to do something pretty spectacular, I mean there's what? 200 ships? And each one chock full of Daleks.

In Invasion Of Earth (again! possibly the most mentioned film on this thread), they used a magnet underground to suck the Daleks down a mine shaft. They were shooting backwards screaming. It was awe inspiring.

I really feel sorry for anyone attempting to avoid spoilers on this last episode - I recommend closing the curtains, staying at home and not consuming ANY media until saturday night - NEWSPAPERS are an absolute no-no (tabloid and broadsheet) Todays Guardian contains spoilers.

BBC confirms third series of Doctor Who.

Doesn't say whether or not David Tennant is signed up for it though...

- heh- even that bbc post contains spoilers

Sorry, I would have mentioned that but it tells you to stop reading before the spoilers. Which I did.

To reiterate what's already been said, AVOID THE NEWSPAPERS! I was innocently flicking through the Guardian and got hit with two massive spoilers all at once!

I've been trying so hard to avoid them too.

Still, at least two more seasons of Who have been confirmed so that's good.

Although at this rate we'll know what's going to happen in them by the end of the week.

That's bad luck Scientist - what section/pages were they in? (so that - um... - everybody else can profit from your misfortune by avoiding them. Sorry)

It's VERY bad news for me... I have to read the fucking things for a living! The Times also has a major spoiler today, which is even mentioned IN THE FUCKING HEADLINE so there's no escape. They chucked it in in the late edition just to catch me off-guard.
 
 
Mister Six, whom all the girls
13:42 / 16.06.05
WOW... do... not... read... the papers. I'm not being smart or coy but very serious.

It may not ruin your experience this Saturday but it will take away from it. The papers I scoured briefly gave away details which I was frankly shocked to see.

So again this is not reverse psychology. I really am trying to stop anyone who, like me, figures it won't ruin anything to look at a paper or online (y'know, idiots like myself ).

It will. I'd recommend staying away from the discussion boards as well, but that's just me.

Still... 3 more seasons is good news, yeah?

I wonder if my boss would accept this as an excuse for taking the next couple of nights off work?

The Bad Wolf is really... MAGNETO.

Think about: Master of Magnetism, metal guys who can't get up stairs. Erik lifts them up the stairs, everybody wins. Except homo inferius.

BREAKING NEWS?

I don't know if this is an exclusive or not, but some geezer claiming such on GMTV just said that the BBC have guaranteed a 3rd series in 2007. Did you know that already?

That seemed to be widely reported in the news yesterday.

By the way, I don't know if anyone is interested, but a slightly less measured (and insanely long) conversation is also happening over on my personal site - seven hundred comments and counting: More on Doctor Who and Bad Wolf

Thanks, Tom. Is it spoilerific?

Oh, he is. I met him the other day. They start filming in Wales in July.

Probably because I read an article that said "there's a new TENANT in the tardis and he's got teeth."

But ha!

I've just realised I must have avoided most of the major spoilers, mind, to not know for sure...

I hope he gets himself some new clothes.

Brilliant, brilliant stuff. RTD's love of Buffy coming across very, very strongly here, I feel.

Fuck.

Whoah.

Oh my sweet tapdancing Jesus.

That was ace.

[WARNING! SPOILER-ISH!]

I think I need to regenerate. I'll be back but not quite the same......

(Seriously, I feel like I did when I first saw Star Wars and went around my back garden at night "killing" moths with my light-sabre [torch]. Excellent! I'm supposed to be going to a "swish" party tonight and I've been dreading it for days. But Who knows? (groan) I might go now and I might even have a good time. But then again, "You know what they say about Earth workmanship?" Hope I get given a Rose.)

Oh, and ONE BIG, "ONE-LOVE", PEACE-LOVING, BIG HUGGING HUGGLE TO YOU ALL!

let's hope it stays this good for the next series, eh?

Rose = Phoenix, eh? Didn't see that one coming...

That was amazing. Tense, funny, scary, and it managed to feel much longer than forty minutes (in the best possible way).

Roll on Christmas!

Heh. Just looked at the BBC's official Who website now (which obviously I've been avoiding)... nice Dalek sample, and big "AVOID THE INTERNET!" warning.

The few spoilers I hadn't managed to avoid didn't really do a lot to ruin it, either... my mad paranoia at work ("this page has Who on it- YOU fucking read it, I'm not going to") seems to have paid off! Pah. We'll see who they call a mentalist NOW!!!

Mickey's latest entry on the "Who is Doctor Who?" site is quite amusing...
