For anyone who's interested David Tennant is The Star in the Reasonably Priced Car on next week's Top Gear

Wonder if he drives an Automatic like Chris Ecclestone?

[Mr Prophet]

Douglas Adams wrote three Dr. Who serials. "The Pirate Planet", "City of Death", and the uncompleted (due to an industrial dispute at the BBC) "Shada".

He was also the script editor for a time and so contributed a fair few lines in other serials. Oh, and elements of Shada were recycled into Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, while the uncompleted script of Doctor who and the Krikkit Men became Life, the Universe and Everything.

Oh thanks for the heads up! I love Top Gear but we are like a year behind the UK, so I will have to um... anyway. I hope he beats Chris, wasn't Chris just off his P's or something when he drove?

I did that puzzle but my last piece got stuck behind the rest (I had completed) so it wouldn't let me get at it! I gave up after that.

Spoiler:

The red spiky aliens name in Voyage Of The Damned is called 'Bannakaffalatta' of a species called the Porg.

Is it just me do the production team like tongue twister names

Examples:
The Mighty Jagrafess Of The Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe (Max for short)
The Raxicoricophalabitorions (Slitheen)
The name in the spoiler

Is David Tennant leaving?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7151102.stm

'Tennant confirmed he was doing four Doctor Who specials in 2009, but there was no decision about the next series in 2010.

"I'm doing four more specials and beyond that no one's asked me to make any decisions and I'm quite happy to be enigmatic for as long as possible," he said.'

To be honest I think it means what it says, he hasn't made his mind up yet. I can't make up miy mind what I'm doing today let alone in 3 years time

EDIT: David Tennant has just officially denied he's leaving Dr Who on a Radio2 news interview

[Admiral Mappalazarou]
