Scary new Dr Who trailer.

The scenario of monsters stalking the occupants of an isolated outpost is hardly unusual. It looks like the infected people are easily identifiable and at least one of the main characters is a woman, so there go two of the distinctive characteristics of that movie.

I didn’t think the presence of a woman would matter, but I guess you’re right about the identity of the infected not being in doubt. No bench testing for the Doctor, shame

For the whole Michelle Ryan as a companion thing -

It was along the lines that after she filmed her scenes there was talk of her coming back to be a full time companion for Matt Smith (new doc), Matt Smith (new doc) didn’t like this, quote cow comment and so the producers thought if Matt wasn’t comfortable then they wouldn’t bring her back.

I read it in a tv guide with an interview with one of the producers, it was back when POTD was on tv and I think it was an article with quotes from producers throughout said article. Yes, that’s what I can remember.

I found this from the Daily Mail: 'Michelle Ryan looks set to become the next Doctor Who companion after landing a plum role in the show’s Easter special.

But it’s the Daily Mail :eek: - which concentrates on bashing the European Union, loving Princess Diana’s memory and pretending to be a newspaper. :smack:

And unsourced as that article was, it didn’t say that the character was returning or that Matt Smith had any say in the matter.
