There’s a brand new audience of kids for Doctor Who each year and they have to think it’s their programme, not some relic that belongs to their parents. I’m as obsessed with the show’s past as many in the audience, but I have to resist my impulse and keep everything fresh.”
I think it's reasonable, after all... nine episodes?! That's over-use isn't it? What do you think?
UPDATE: Can I just point out to the people commenting on this post saying the Daleks are in Series 5. Yes, I know now, thanks. If you could just take a look at the date this news was posted and then to when we found out the Daleks are in Series 5 from the trailer, you'll realise this was in fact posted months before we discovered it.

Freema Abandons Torchwood!
Many scripts for Torchwood Series 3 have been scrapped after Freema Agyeman (Martha Jones in Doctor Who) has announced that instead of doing Torchwood she will be moving to the BBC's major rival, ITV, to act in the British version of the USA show Law and Order.
It was previously believed that Freema would reprise her role as Martha in Torchwood's five-part mini-season after a successful few episodes on the programme earlier this year. Apparently Russell T Davies is seriously annoyed by this news, as it was him who gave Freema her 'big break' in Doctor Who.
A source (presumably an insider) told The Sun newspaper: "This has really mucked things about. We’ve had to go back and re-edit loads of scripts because she’s not going to be in it. ITV is the Beeb's bitter rival, so the fact she's going over there to star in a big new project has not gone down well at all."
I have to say, I wasn't very happy at this news, what do you think? Please make comments below...
