William Shatner Main Discussion - Who actors launch fourth series ( spoilers) britstarfan - Apr 03, 2008 - 06:44 PM Post subject: Who actors launch fourth series ( spoilers)Spoilers ahead
Doctor Who star David Tennant and his latest assistant Catherine Tate have attended the launch of the BBC show's fourth series in central London. Neither would be drawn, however, on their future in the programme beyond the three specials planned for 2009.
"I want David to stay on forever," said Russell T Davies, the show's executive producer and chief writer. When quizzed about his own future with the programme, Davies told reporters it was "none of their business".
In the first of two episodes, the Doctor will be reunited with Donna Noble - Tate's character from 2006 Christmas special The Runaway Bride.The second saw the pair transported to ancient Pompeii on the eve of Mount Vesuvius's eruption - impressively rendered in a computer-generated sequence Tennant called "gob-smacking".
Future instalments will see the Doctor meeting Agatha Christie, confronting classic villains the Sontarans, and the Daleks. The Ood make a comeback, and also the Dr catching up with all of his former assistants Rose, Martha,Captain Jack and Sarah Jane Smith.
Tennant also promised the season finale would be "the biggest, boldest, maddest, saddest, most exciting story we've ever done"
