Doctor Who is back for the Children

The Empty Children.jpg

The BBC announced today that a new mini-episode of Doctor Who will be shown Friday November 18th as part of the annual Children in Need charity broadcast day. The special will feature David Tennant and Billie Piper and is written by Russell T. Davies. At present nothing is known about the plot.

This isn’t the first time there has been a special Doctor Who mini-story for the Children in Need charity special - back in 1993 a 14 minute story called Dimensions in Time was broadcast, featuring Doctors number 3 to 7, plus a whole host of companions, and cast members from the British soap Eastenders.  No word on whether any cross-overs are happening this time as yet.

Let the “is this canon?” debates commence…..

I’m going to say that it probably is going to be canon because RTD wouldn’t just contradict the Children in Need sketch and The Christmas Invasion… would he? I mean he wouldn’t want to contradict his own writing when it is essentially introducing us to the Tenth Doctor.

What would ‘Sad Tony’ think about this? Maybe Sad Tony will make an appearance if the petition works… you never know…

AH! I feel like a Time Lord who looked at the 8th Doctor’s future and said “THREE Ninth Doctors?!? That can’t be right!”
