2009 Easter Special "Planet of the Dead" Episode Discussion

PLANET OF THE DEAD
by Russell T. Davies and Gareth Roberts


Quote:
When a London bus takes a detour to an alien world, the Doctor must join forces with the extraordinary Lady Christina, in this one-off seasonal special. But the mysterious planet holds terrifying secrets, hidden in the sand. And time is running out, as the deadly Swarm gets closer.

Planet Of The Dead features David Tennant as the Doctor, Michelle Ryan as Lady Christina and Lee Evans as Malcolm. It is written by Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts.
Trailer #1.

This episode will air on Saturday, the 11th of April at 6:45 on BBC One.

The special will be repeated on Sunday, 12 Apr on BBC Three at 7:00pm with exclusive Red Button commentary from David Tennant, Julie Gardner and James Strong on Satellite and Cable services. A full Red Button commentary service will be available when the special is repeated later in the month.

Planet of the Dead will then be repeated again on BBC One on Easter Monday, 13 Apr at 5:00pm.

It really does, and I absolutely CANNOT wait!

I wonder what got the Doctor to travel on a bus in the first place?

I love how epic the trailer makes it look! I mean, I am sure it will be epic but you know, since this is a special and they got much more money for it

Yeah, and without the TARDIS How domestic

Definitely! It looks like it could've been the trailer for a feature film. Not that the usual episodes aren't epic as well, but I guess that's one good thing about just having specials...

I don't know but just think about it - maybe they got the same amount of money they usually get for a whole series? So instead of 13 'normal' episodes we get 4 'epic' ones

(got this from Twitter so I am not sure how reliable this is)

Oh that would be really awesome and it actually makes a lot of sense, too!

But still, 9 days! It's been so long since "The Next Doctor" already

And they hopefully will let us know when the next special will air - or if the next one will be indeed the Christmas special

Yeah, that's definitely true. There was a time when I thought Easter would never come! and now it's just over a week away. It's a bit surreal

I really, really hope that's not the case, but I'm fearing the worst...

If they really do that ... then I demand something to tie us over the looooong wait.
What do they expect? First they make us all addicted and then they take it away for 8 months?

I know

well, in a way, it makes sense. The last two episodes will be a two-parter, and they're going to be epic, intense and without a doubt very heartbreaking. So I see why they wouldn't want to air that over Christmas... And the only good thing is that the last 3 episodes will then all be within a month of each other, probably. But still, it's going to be a VERY long 8 months...

But we'll get Torchwood and (possibly?) SJA to tie us over... That's something at least!

I do get your point but still ... 258 days!

And Torchwood is only one week and as much as I like SJA, it is just not the same
I probably will need to get back all of my lent dvd box sets to watch the whole show again and again
