Daily Star leak finale details?
The Daily Star has today leaked what they describe as ‘Top Secret Details’ about this year’s regeneration finale.
The tabloid claims that the TARDIS will be ’blown to bits’ during the two-parter, which will transmit on BBC One and BBC HD over Christmas and the New Year. It’s thought that the decision was made to destroy the spaceship to make way for the brand new console set which will be introduced with the 11th Doctor in Series Five.
Meanwhile, the newspaper also claims that not only will the Master be returning for the episodes, but the Doctor will also have to, as they put it, ’battle his fellow Time Lords after discovering they have turned evil’. Oh dear…
And finally - if the ’Star’ is to be believed - John Barrowman and Freema Agyeman will be reprising their roles of Jack Harkness and Martha Jones to help the Doctor do battle alongside Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, Bernard Cribbins as Wilf and Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane (the last 3 of whom have already been spotted on set…)
“The producers are throwing everything they’ve got into Tennant’s finale,” a BBC source told the newspaper. “He will go out with a bang.”
It’s probably worth pointing out that the report is just a vague round-up of all the bits-and-bobs and fan speculation that has cropped up around the net over the past few weeks, so take its contents with a pinch of salt for now!

I’d say take this with a tablespoon of salt. Especially since this is the Star we’re talking about.
I’d say their right (for once). The only bits which need to be checked out are the Time Lords turning evil (then again, after what the Doctor did to them…), and Jack and Martha returning (though, both John and Freema have been talking alot recently about wanting to return).
Daily Star falling foul of fan theory again…
Not really “fan theory”. We’ve already seen the cast returns and the TARDIS being blown up.
When did we see the TARDIS blow up? Are you confusing it with the Torchwood Hub?
Is the finale actually finished being written yet? I know they have started filming but does that mean its actually finished? I think it would be wrong to be bring the timelords back cos it will just defunct the doctors story for the last 4 years
Not at all. Different parts of Cardiff.
I think it has finished being written, because they are close to the end of filming (next month, oddly around the same time that K9 finishes principal filming). But, RTD said he wanted to make a fresh start for Steven Moffat, and Donna’s return would mean there would have to be a “reset button” (either to before The Runaway Bride, or after Journey’s End). It would make sense to also bring back Gallifrey.
