Third series of Doctor Who...

I thought the final episode of Dr Who on Saturday was amazing: well written, incredibly exciting, a Dalek invasion, lots of death, a big old gay kiss and, of course, that regeneration. Perfect.

And more good news: the BBC confirmed last week that a third series of Doctor Who - plus a second Christmas special - has been commissioned. So that's another 28 episodes at least. Filming of the first Christmas special and second series with Casanova star David Tennant, Eccleston's replacement and the tenth Doctor, is due to begin in July. Jane Tranter, BBC Controller of Drama Commissioning, said that Billie Piper, who plays the Doctor's companion Rose Tyler, will feature in every episode of series two, contrary to earlier reports. Cool.
