Here's the latest trailer from the BBC, for the Christmas special...and, here's the latest rumour which I've seen on the fan forums...that the lady in the video is really The Rani. Okaay, then. The Rani rumour, as I call it, has been around for ages...oh, and the other, far more ridiculous rumour, is that the woman is really the Master.

There's been also more hats tossed into the ring, as to who shall be taking the key to the Tardis from the departing David Tennnat. I don't even want to think about that yet, I just want to enjoy what time Tennant has left, and let be what is to be. I've lost so much in my life, I'm in no rush to see something else that I love, die (10th Doctor's character, not Tennant, of course). It's too bad Tennant is so anal about his career.

I would have adored seeing Tennant under the reins of Moffatt's production...not that RTD and company weren't wonderful, as well--but, unlike RTD, who likes Dr Who but isn't a "fan,' Moffatt is truly one of US...a true Whovian--he's an anorak and not affaid to admit it...or to humour us by going to conventions. Still, Tennant is a grown man with a life of his own outside of Dr Who, a workaholic devoted to his career, and he has to do what he thinks is best for himself--after all, in the end, isn't that what we all do? That's just the way the biscuit crumbles, I guess.
