Word is that the next series--Series 4, of the New Doctor Who, is to have it's budget pushed back, to what amounts to a 1974 budget.

But, producers are unsullied by this drastic change, and plans are already in the works for changes in the new series.

Here's some exclusive spoilers as to what the Doctor has in store for him:

The Christmas Special will be the first episode without any CGI effects. Instead, it is rumoured that the show will revert to models. Here we see an exclusive photo from the special, titled: "Hairball!" In this episode, the lone Dalek that escaped from Manhattan, returns to England, and attempts to take over a nuclear power station, enlisting the aid of a giant cat, named "Buster."

Another episode will evolve around the Doctor, in a fast-paced action packed episode, where he has only 42 minutes to save Martha from Mary Whitehouse, by trying desperately to peel an orange with the sonic screwdiver, while at the same time cleaning the snot out of the Face of Boe's nose.

Russell T. Davies said he's more proud than ever of the Doctor Who team, which now numbers 3 crew members, one wardrobe/makeup artist and a char woman from Swansea. When interviewed about the new series, David Tennant said, "Meh. It's a job."
