Or maybe a wife in a washing-machine... No, just no... (I do know what you're referring to, and yeah I suppose it would be a lot like that - and Moffat quite frankly doesn't need to provide his critics with any more ammunition of that sort... * It might be quite a cool running joke to have Rory dying a couple of times a season, and always coming back, Master-like...

SPOILER!!!! Look, even the name of the link is spoilery, I don't know if mods can do anything about that?
But yeah, the spoiler linked below would be more credible if a) the source wasn't the Daily Star (still, it's not the Sun!) and b) if the person writing it gave any indication that they'd actually seen the Doctor Who stories they're talking about as opposed to cribbing from press releases, but still:

SPOILER!!!! Look, even the name of the link is spoilery, I don't know if mods can do anything about that? I think you'd have to hide it behind a URL shortening service. As for the spoiler (so-called): ] It would be just like Moffat to throw us by making us think we know how River dies and then killing her again -- time being rewritten and all that. (Of course the Master shows us that you can have multiple deaths without any time-rewriting at all; you just show up again and say "I'm indestructible, the whole Universe knows that!").
But as for that article, it looks almost as if the journalist read the synopsis of Forest of the Dead and didn't realise that that episode has already been broadcast.[

I think the spoiler (so called) is about the size of it...
*But yes, the Master's approach to death and resurrection is by far the most elegant example of that sort of thing in Who. Others could do with taking a leaf out of his book...
And I think you could be shockingly close to the truth there with the synopsis etc...*

I would love to see The Celestial Toymaker again. That rumor is the best I've heard so far. I loved that guy. One rumor I heard that also made me flip-out was that the cracks may have something to do with Omega. I would love that.

More tidbits on the first half of series six again from io9. Anyone else find anything? like pics? *sigh*
**Child actor Jamie Oram has, according to his CV, been cast as a little boy in the fourth episode, "What Are Little Boy's Made Of?" (I'm going to assume that apostrophe is a typo.) There are conflicting reports as to whether his character is named "George" or "Harry." The fourth episode is thought to be the Mark Gatiss episode, but reports indicate he might actually be in the Neil Gaiman third episode. His parents are reportedly Emma Cunniffe and Daniel Mays, who recently appeared as Keats on the final series of Ashes to Ashes**
This is the second time I have heard that title in reference to that specific episode, so it may have some veracity, at least as a working title...

*Does Gatiss get to do an episode every season now, what with his Sherlock collaborator Moffat being showrunner? If so, Merry will be pleased! ;D
"What are little boys made of?" - nice title. What's the betting the boy turns out to be a robot or a clone or something? Now that I've said it, of course, it will almost certainly turn out not to be the case...*

I'm amused by the misplaced approstrophe personally...

I'm not crazy about that title, personally. It's very un-whovian. *snobs*

*I'm excited about Daniel Mays, he was awesome in Ashes to Ashes.
I like the title, even if it is a bit different from the typical. We haven't had a question for a title before, have we? *

I'm pretty excited about most of what I have heard, are you lot following rclarkie on twitter? He's directing a few episodes and his snippets (including one set pic) are tantalising! If you aren't already following him, I can post links for you...

And yes, IMF, it'll be interesting to have the former Jim Keats in a Who story...* Post away, Merry!

Intriguing picture...
*Merry, I read down a bit and he said the Gatiss script was "wonderful" or words to that effect - surely some mistake?! ;D*

more tips and a shows-too-little photo @ rclarkie, linked above.
JJ, as for the scroll down comment involving he who must not be named, well, there are perhaps reasons this R Clark is a director and not a writer, what does he know lol HAHAHA!
To be fair, I have loved some other things Gatiss has done, but I shall NEVER forgive him VotD, never. hmm how funny Vivtory of the daleks and Voyage of the damned are two pretty crummy episodes (though Daleks is worse IMHO) and both have the same acronym...

RTD on Jo's return
He explained: “We left her with the promise of happiness, of adventure, of love and joy, and you can’t undercut that by saying, ‘Oh, she’s a drug addict now! Her husband left her, she’s lonely, her life is bitter’. That’s just interfering with classic Doctor Who and what we were promised. So I was absolutely strict about that.”

Well, that's certainly a novel and untried approach to revisiting former companions

Well, those are certainly encouraging words from RTD - as johne says, it certainly goes against some of the previous examples we've had! *cough*SchoolReunion*cough* ;D
(maybe he's seen The Green Death but just never caught The Hand of Fear...? ;D)

If this is true then it can only be a good thing.
(now... watch Rusty work in an Ianto reference just for the hell of it. If he gets that bit of fanon in there though, I will be very amused/happy/scared of how much Internets he's been consuming)
