That's what I suggested in the main thread for tonight's episode, it might be a replica of the real Titanic flying in the time vortex!
An Eternals ship perhaps

My idea for the Christmas Special is that The Doctor has crashed into the front of The Titanic, he finds himself with a return of 'The Gelth' as they take over the crew trying to destroy the ship so they can take all the bodies for their own. The Doctor then must create a new rift to send them away, which is made through the gaping hole in the TARDIS. and also Kylie Minogue helps him, etc, etc. The Doctor goes back to Martha, says he misses her, then The Doctor is attacked and regenerates into Doc 11 (my guess is Robert Carlyle, with his Scottish Accent)

Isn't it obvious? The Paradox Generator is not entirely dead and so worlds in which the Titanic did not sink can intrude

Seeing as the CGI in the movie Titanic was phenomenal and that was made 10 years ago, The Mill now have one hell of a task on there hands.
Um, surely that means they *won't* have one hell of a task on *their* hands - they can use 10 year old technology to make it look the same as the movie, rather than relying on state of the art tech!

Put RTD on the ship with a one way ticket...
Why bother?, a return will do just as well.

My suggestion was that CG artists and us the viewer,have become more sophisticated in how we view effects over the last ten years.

Nope, that was the Mary Celeste. Though the Seventh Doctor was aboard the Titanic for a while in one of the DW books from the early 90's.

Something to bear in mind about the 9th Doctor saying he'd once been left hanging on the iceberg - we don't know that it was necessarily his incarnation he was talking about, it could have been an earlier Doctor. (Waits for the inevitable "Paul McGann could come back at Xmas!!!" speculation to begin. )

Time was reversed to the point where the paradox machine was first activated, just after the President's death. Everything the Master did before that, cannibalising the TARDIS and turning it into the paradox machine, had still happened. So the Doctor would still have had a hell of a repair job to do on the console.


not necessarilly, the tardis does have more than one console room. if your a fan of the classic series you'd know that?

From the end it seemed like the Tardis hit the top bow part at the front of the ship :P technically there shouldn't be any water there unless the whole ship is underwater

And they have had a couple of mentions in the series so far, so it's possible.

Well yes, but I was replying to the poster who said that the console would have been returned to normal when time was reversed.

This years Doctor Who Christams special is called Voyage of the Damned and from what we saw at the end of the Chistmas special is based around the Titanic. The TARDIS was ruined by the Titanic.

Filiming starts next week so we should be getting in some infomation very soon.

So, Let's get discussing!
Right, for what it's worth: I think this episode will be shown on Christmas Day, probably after Eastenders...it will in all likelihood feature The Doctor and The TARDIS...some people will love it, others will hate it...some will say it's exactly what DW should be, some will say it's a travesty of all they hold sacred...I will have eaten several courses and drunk several bottles of wine by the time it airs...there will be a "teaser" trailer which will make ds posters go "Ooh" "Aah" and "WHAT?" in equal measure which will be talked over by the continuity announcer...what else...? Oh yes...no matter who plays the Companion, every one will wish Martha had been in it aside from the one person who still wants to know when Rose is coming back

Roll on Christmas...but please, every one, remember to have a fab six months in the mean time...

I plan to have a Whoathon in those 6 months - I need to watch an average of 0.6 episodes per week to see the entire "New Who" before Christmas Day

I began a very slow classic whoathon after The Beginning box set was released on DVD in January 2006. I've seen a few DVD's and videos of a few hartnell and Troughton stories.The rest I' ve read through the synopsis on the beeb official site Caught most of the Pertwee era on UK Gold recordings and DVD's and I'm now on the 3rd series of Tom Bakers Doc. *Cough* ( I have obtained some of these via the internet). I wonder how far I'll get by the time of the xmas special and then series 4 (or series 30 if you count New Who as a follow on from the classic series).

No had similar thought - ghost ship of some shape or form ala The Flying Dutchman.

OR he's landed on the set of the 1997 film and Kate Winslett is the new companion called Rose. That'll completely knacker the people looking for continuity.
