Doctor Who 2009 Specials Update
Here is a quote from the latest issue of the Radio Times (more on that issue can be found here), regarding the 2009 Doctor Who specials;
"The first adventure, to be shown in only a few months time, promises to be the Time Lords wildest, maddest yet. He won't just be traveling without a companion - he'll be without the TARDIS too."
"After that, we'll be heading towards the monumentous day when the key to the blue box is passed on and the 11th Doctor storms into your lives... Lets just say that the dark forces are gathering already. The gate is waiting, and life will never be the same again..."
This confirms that the TARDIS will not feature in the first special, due to air in Easter 2009. And also the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, out tomorrow, confirms that the second special, due to air around Summer, will be filmed outside the UK.
