David Tennant was on GMTV this morning and whilst on, he announced when The Waters of Mars is going to be aired. It will be shown at 7pm on Sunday 15th November.
I personally think that is a terrible date. It should have been on a Saturday and to make it even better, it should have been on Halloween.
Anyway, here is the full interview with Tennant:
Lots of SJA videos!
First of all, the Next Time trailer for Part 2 of TWOSJS:
Secondly, here's a video of Tommy and Daniel on the CBBC Channel (They've been appearing on and off all day):
And finally, a video of Nigel Havers on The Alan Titchmarch show:
This morning, Russell T Davies and Elizabeth Sladen appeared on BBC Breakfast.
The interview with them included an extended preview clip of TWOSJS Part 1 (The same clip we saw in Nigel Haver's interview but a few seconds longer) as well as a new and exciting clip of Part 2!
There was even a new clip from The Waters of Mars!
The full interview can be seen below:
Or if you don't have time to watch the whole thing, here is the Waters of Mars preview:
Very exciting!
Nigel Havers has appeared on GMTV to talk about his role of Peter Dalton in the upcoming episode of SJA, The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith. In the interview, he seems very excited about the episode and we also see a very exciting clip which we haven't seen before now.
In the latest issue of SFX, Russell and David discuss what's still in store for us in the three remaining specials.
Here's some information from it:
In the Waters of Mars (Which we discover in SFX is set in 2059), The Doctor and Adelaide are like two equals and at times, two rivals. As everyone else has said, it is very scary but we learn that they had to change one aspect of the monster on set to avoid traumatising children. Although it's an under-siege story, initial drafts had them all getting in a shuttle and flying to a hydroponic plant.
As for The End of Time, there are little aliens that appear throughout the story. Could these be slaves to the Master? I think we can assume that these are the little green aliens that Russell referred to earlier in the year. This adventure is Earth-bound but it doesn't all happen on Earth. After saying that, David asks if he's said too much. Obviously, he must be referring to Gallifrey!
Finally, in the last three specials, The Doctor experiences emotions which we haven't seen him experience before, and doing things which Tennant hadn't even conceived that the character could do before.
It's all getting very exciting now!
The Waters of Mars will be broadcast next month and part one of The End of Time will be broadcast in December with part 2 following either later that month or early January.
SFX is out today at the RRP of £3.99
SFX has had an interview with Graeme Harper all about the Waters of Mars:
Just how scary is The Waters of Mars?
“I’m not sure if it’s as scary as Blink, but it’s quite frightening – because it’s so real, I think. I hope so!”
How on Earth do you go about making water scary? And what were the challenges of shooting with that volume of water?
"I hope you think it is [scary] when you see it! It was very, very difficult. We had a difficult time trying to work out how to do the water… can you imagine, the volumes of water that we required, in a studio setting? How d’you get rid of it? If you want to do retakes, how do you get everything dry again?
“The kind of water effect we wanted was sort-of mystical, almost organic – well, it is organic, obviously! – so the difficulty was deciding with the visual FX guys which one out of the effect they were offering us was the right one. They came up with five or six different kinds of pipes, hoses and systems. And eventually there was one that we all said, ‘That’s the one.’ There was a uniform yes to one particular effect, and that was the one we used.
“Now, how do you make it creepy? It seems to be alive, the water, by the way it follows the characters in the story. Sort of – we didn’t make a big thing of it in the story, but that’s how I shot it, so it was chasing people, following them and trapping them. The best effects you can get come out of seeing the enormity of the water, the relentlessness of it. I think where it becomes really creepy and you get the fear, is when it continues draining out of characters’ mouths.
“There was a very complex system of tubes and piping that they all had to wear within the prosthetics – and water was squeezed and pressurized through the tubes to give the volume of water we required to come out of the actors’ mouths on a continuous basis.”

An interview has now been officially published with Nicholas Briggs. The interview is all about his time in Doctor Who, and acting alongside 10th Doctor David Tennant, and companion for the first and second series, Billie Piper. He talks about the role of the 11th Doctor, and also small pranks that he'd played with his Dalek voice.
"Billie asked me to speak down the phone as a Dalek down the phone to some of her friends." Nick told the public. When he said this, they asked if she had got him to phone up her ex - husband, Chris Evans. He simply replied by saying "no". The following day, the newspaper's headlines was Billie Tells Chris He's Exterminated.
"On the plus side, they put my age as thirty five." Said Nick, who is in fact fourty seven! Then he talks about his time with David Tennant. "I met him and told him he should go for the role [of the Doctor]. He said, 'Oh, that's an interesting idea'. In fact, he already had the part but he wasn't allowed to tell anyone!"
He confirmed that he hadn't yet met the 11th Doctor, portrayed by the twenty six year old actor, Matt Smith. When asked if the Daleks were returning, he said: "You get shot at dawn if you reveal secrets, but could you have a series of Doctor Who without the Daleks?"

IESB.net has had an interview with David Tennant and Russell T Davies which you can read here.
It's mostly all information we already know except this line from Russell:
...that final story becomes epic, almost like a fairytale. But, it's really intimate, at the same time. It's got funny little aliens with green spikey faces, running around...
So it would seem that The Master isn't alone in The End of Time, there are other aliens too!
Although, Davies could of course be lying. It wouldn't exactly be a first now, would it?
David Tennant, well known for portraying the role of the tenth Doctor in Doctor Who, has recently been discussing with the public about his life on Doctor Who, and how completely amazing it's been. He's said:
"It's been overwhelming. You go into a supermarket and see your face on a cake, on T-shirts and childrens' pants, which is something they don't prepare you for at drama school. It's just been the most exciting four years I will ever experience, probably. I will take away so many brilliant memories. One thing I leave the show with a slight sadness about is that I didn't snog Bernard Cribbins! I got to snog all the Doctor's other companions."
He continued, "Change is part of the show. When Tom Baker, who I idolised, left I couldn't conceive of another Doctor. Then Peter Davison came along and three weeks later I thought he was the best that's ever been. Hopefully viewers will watch my finale, cry at the end, and a few weeks later they'll think Matt Smith is the greatest thing that's ever been, which he is."
When asked about returning, he said, "The dust has to settle first. But who knows? The 50th anniversary of Dr Who is in 2013 and it would be good to mark that somehow. But that's not an announcement, there's no plans... not yet."
