Is Rose Gone Forever?

Doctor Who's new show runner Steven Moffat has decided to start afresh for Series 5 by saying goodbye to the friends and foes we've met since the show was revived in 2005.

"Fans always look back, but shows have to look forward," he said whilst attending the ComicCon in San Diego, California. "There’s a brand new audience of kids for Doctor Who each year and they have to think it’s their programme, not some relic that belongs to their parents."

He added: "I'm as obsessed with the show's past as many in the audience, but I have to resist my impulse and keep everything fresh.

"Wiping the slate clean would also mean that the Doctor's oldest nemesis, the Daleks, won't be returning in 2010. According to the man himself, this is a good thing as he plans to introduce new enemies and monsters for the Time Lord to battle.

"You've got to be careful you don't make the universe seem like it's got about seven people in it, all about to be exterminated by the Daleks," he explained. "You want it to be a big, wide-ranging universe."

However, he refused to comment on whether or not his clear-out would include Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper, who was last seen at the end of Series 4 starting a new life on a parallel world with a clone of the Doctor.

When Doctor Who Met Top Gear

The BBC have released a mash up video of Doctor Who and Top Gear, combining Star In A Resonably Priced Car with clips of the TARDIS in flight.

Matt Taylor of the BBC's Repeats & Reversioning team had the idea, after being inspired by his colleague Simon Catt. The end result impressed their boss Gill Holmes and eventually found its way to Mark Harrison, Head of the BBC's Multiplatform Studio and then to Peter Salmon, Chief Creative Officer of the BBC Vision Studio.

The BBC have confirmed that Journey's End will be screened at 7pm in Trafalgar Square tommorrow. The screening will be introduced by Martha Jones herself, Freema Agyeman, and is part of the Pride 2008 festival. It should be noted however that the BBC have stressed times and line-ups for the screening are subject to change. John Barrowman and Freema Agyeman attended the festival last year where it was planned that Last of the Timelords would air on the big screen. Unfortunately it didn't and was cancelled due to the lack of time. In other news various members of the Doctor Who cast and crew have been appearing on TV shows recently to promote tomorrow's episode. You can see a round up of the appearances here.
