2010-02-14T19:52:00.005Z

This is now my 1,855th post to date on this website and I'm sorry to say that it will unfortunately be my last. Due to various other commitments, mainly education, I have recently found myself unable to keep up to date in posting all of the latest news. I'd like to take this time to thank every single one of you who has ever visited this website and supported it, it means a lot and I've had a great time over the past three years. Tardis and Torchwood Treasures has today turned three years old and with over 745,000 hits, I'm very proud of how succesful it has been. I'm also proud to say that I managed to keep it updated every single day barring two days when my computer had to be repaired and over time, the site has received a total of one hundred and sixty seven followers. Don't worry though, there are still plenty of other websites which are updated with the latest news and some of these can be found here in this website's very own link section. Special thanks and mentions go out to; Alex, Ashleigh, Aquatics64, Ayrton, Becky from The Oncoming Storm, Brad from The Gallifrey Vortex, Carly, Claire, Colin Kelly, Conor from Tardis Base, Cpotey, Daniel, Danzi, Hayley, Kane from Tardis 911, Kyle from Doctor Who Mad Online, Luke from The Doctor Who Site, Paul, Rhys, Rhys from Doctor Who Hideout and Robert Cyberman from Australia. Although I'm closing this website, I'm still a massive fan of Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures and K9. I'm really looking forward to seeing where all four shows go next and I hope you all enjoy the futures of the programmes too. Thanks once again for everything, best wishes, Mark.

Is there room for Rose to return at a later date?

"I think it's done now, isn't it? I think that ship has sailed. That old, wooden ship! I really loved doing it, but Doctor Who has moved on - it's different people, different crew, different production team and I can't keep going back. It's ridiculous! It's time to move on..."

It's 2010, Happy New Year

2010-01-01T14:54:00.019Z

Today, the first of January, is the beginning of a new year and it's a year that's set to see change in the universe of Doctor Who. David Tennant's final episode as the 10th Doctor will premiere in the United Kingdom and Ireland tonight and it will also be the final episode to be written by Russell T Davies who brought the programme back to our screens in 2005. Russell or David may of course return to work on Doctor Who one day in the future but at the moment, their plans are to move on and work on further projects for their careers.

Following tonight's episode, a brand new fifth series of Doctor Who is scheduled for transmission in Spring later this year. Matt Smith will take on the role of the newly regenerated 11th Doctor and Karen Gillan will play his companion for the series, Amy Pond. Steven Moffat will also take over from Russell T Davies as Doctor Who's head writer for the series which will feature a new logo and consequently, a new title sequence for the show too.

According to John Barrowman, Torchwood will also be returning this year for a fourth series which will consist of thirteen new episodes. This hasn't yet been officially confirmed by the BBC but after the huge success of Children of Earth, it seems very likely that the show will be back for a fourth series. Russell T Davies also recently confirmed that a fourth series of The Sarah Jane Adventures has now been commissioned by the BBC. He revealed this news on BBC Radio 2 and you can listen to the specific extract from the interview here. The very first series of K9 is also scheduled for transmission this year and more information about all four of these shows will be posted here on this site as soon as it becomes publicly available.

2009 was a great year for Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. The first three of David Tennant's final episodes were shown and they all received high ratings and good reviews. Torchwood also managed to receive its highest viewing figures yet with its third series, Children of Earth, which aired over five consecutive nights on BBC One. The Sarah Jane Adventures also went from strength to strength with a special guest appearance from David Tennant as the 10th Doctor in two episodes of the show's third series.

So what’s in store for this site in 2010? Well, this site will still be updated with the latest news regarding Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures and K9. New episode guides for The End of Time and the third series of The Sarah Jane Adventures will be added and there's also the possibility of new pages being made. Due to educational work, I can't however promise that there will definitely be new pages for this site but it's something which I do hope to bring to you if I have the time. I’d like to take this time to wish all of my readers a happy new year and thank every single one of you for visiting my site. Mark

Get ready for The End of Time... with Doctor Who Magazine #416!

David Tennant gives an exclusive, in-depth interview in the biggest ever Doctor Who Magazine about his last days as the Tenth Doctor, the forthcoming Christmas Special, The End of Time, and the reasons why he’s decided to leave his dream job...

“When the Doctor decides he’s the ‘Time Lord Victorious’ [at the end of The Waters of Mars], we’re making him quite unsympathetic,” considers David. More human, even? “Well, it’s making him more Time Lord, actually, when you consider how they turned out.”

When we see the Doctor behaving arrogantly, selfishly or uncontrollably, it’s then that he appears more fallible, and therefore more human? “The Time Lords were pretty fallible too,” David perseveres. “It’s hubris. It’s Greek. It needed that scale to tell the final story. It’s a tale of the gods, really... but gods who are fallible... and, I suppose, human...” Also....
