And there we have it! Once again, Russell T. Davies and company have given us another spectacular series of our favorite Time Lord, proving that there is no other TV show on the face of the Earth that has more variety in its scenery, its characters, and its stories. The only downside is that we won’t be seeing another full series of the show until 2010. Sure we’ve got the four upcoming specials, and we’ve got Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures, but it ain’t the same with out that little blue box flying around.
And now for a bit of nostalgia. He are a series of mini lists looking back on the best bits of Doctor Who: Series Four.

www.outpostgallifrey.com has just announced that an old friend will be joining an old friend. Nicholas Courtney, known by Doctor Who fans far and wide as former UNIT Officer Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stewart, will be making a guest appearance in the Doctor Who spin-off “The Sarah Jane Adventures” during the course of the second series.
Outpost Gallifrey also hints at the return of Sarah Jane’s nemesis Miss Wormwod (played by Samantha Bond) who appeared in SJA’s first episode “Invasion of the Bane.”
Since I hate spoilers as much as Steven Moffat, I recommend checking www.outpostgallifrey.com for pictures and additional info.

Doctor Who is in the home stretch of the fourth season, with only two more to go after this newest one. After a largely companion-less episode last week, we get a largely Doctor-less one this time. Here’s a review of “Turn Left,” with spoilers.

The first season of the BBC Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood was uneven and lacked a real sense of cohesion and continuity. Season two really ramped up the drama, fleshed out the characters, and delivered everything the first season lacked, though. Now the series, which airs domestically on BBC America, has been picked up for a third season, but it’s looking like it’ll be for a much shorter run than the previous two.
Presently Torchwood’s third season has been picked up for five episodes, rather than the usual thirteen. John Barrowman will be returning as fan favorite Captain Jack Harkness, but no other casting or production information has been released. Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies is handing the Who reins to Steven Moffat next season, but there’s no word on who will be running the spinoff now.

Doctor Who has become huge for both BBC and the SciFi Channel, so news of this magnitude is bound to cause some level of anxiety. But relax and take a deep breath; it’s going to be alright. Russel T. Davies is stepping down as the executive producer of Doctor Who, and the job will be filled by the entirely capable and award-winning talent of Steven Moffat. Who fans will recognize Moffat as the writer of such favorite episodes as “The Empty Child”, “The Girl in the Fireplace”, and “Blink.”
After the current fourth season ends, there’s going to be a long break until season five begins in the spring of 2010. Don’t despair, though! There are plans for four specials (ala the yearly Christmas special) throughout 2009 to tide us over.
