Was that supposed to be 1000 posts or 1000 replies?

Dont know if its mentioned before
but this show is on bbc4 at 9pm tonight :

Russell T Davies: Unscripted
Time Shift profiles TV dramatist Russell T Davies, as he talks frankly about his controversial and surprising career. He began in children's television and achieved fame (and infamy) with the series Queer As Folk.

Russell is now the main writer and executive producer on two key BBC series, Casanova for BBC2 and the relaunch of Doctor Who with Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor for BBC1.

Contains contributions from Christopher Eccleston, broadcaster and TV critic Mark Lawson, and children's presenter Andi Peters.

Does Rose's phone still have the 'jiggery-pokery' upgrade the Doctor fitted?

Will it be used again to phone home?

The back of her phone clearly has a camera lens, which could make for some interesting pictures if she so chose.

One of the aims of the first episode was to introduce the characters and concepts of Dr who to an new audience (as well as tell a story). He felt a regeneration would have been a bit too much for new and young viewers to take in in the initial show.

Still we will have a regeneration to look forward to this time around! Hurrah! Sorry that Chris is going as he has given the series a new lease of life along with RTD et al but hopefully David Tennant will stick around a bit longer given he has always been a fan of the show.

So Deaddog what are your current thoughts on the thread that was ongoing last night about the bad wolf scenario or if anyone else has any ideas to throw into the mix share them with us.

.... I have difficulties in accepting the "doctor isn't the doctor"speculations, not because of the evidence and reasons put forward but because I just can't see RTD having such a major"gotcha" at the end. If the doctor was an established character to the viewers then maybe, but not after only 12 episodes.

The evidence (from Nestene/little Blue aliens) supports that the TARDIS is the/a bad wolf . This does not contradict the "doctor isn't the doctor" speculation but makes it less likely.

I think extra pieces of the puzzle we be revealed tonight which should help clear it up

Yeah it's a two parter set in the current day, and Rose's boyfriend from Auf Wiedersehen Pet is back in it, as is Rose's mother. And Big Ben gets destroyed (seen in the BBC ONE trailer). Concludes next week.

Do you think they fear the TARDIS because it represents what happened in the Time War or because they sense that there is another presence within?

Welcome, welcome, Humans, Trees and Multiforms, to this stellar gathering for the “Doctor Who 9th of April” thread awards.

These awards are sponsored by Platform 5. Please click here to go interactive.

OK, and now it’s time for some awards for this weeks thread.

And the first award goes to:

Alrightmate – “The Brain the size of a Planet” award – for overflowing with so many good ideas about the series that he couldn’t type them up before another one came along.

Stuart62 – the “Tardis databank” award, for providing snippets of real information as they became available.

Black Guardian – “The Voice of Reason” award, for the fact that, despite his name, he managed to remain a force for cosmic balance.

*Duncan* - “The Keep It Simple Stupid” award, for summing up in one sentence, what took many of us days to deduce.

aka_lucifer – “The Cassandra O’Brian” special award. For proposing an excellent theory that nobody paid any heed to.

And lastly, but by no means least,

dundee_mark – “Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf” award, for not only daring to step into the beast’s lair, but sticking around to feed it.

Please note your shuttles are ready for departure. This unit is now closing down for maintenance.
