30 Dec BBC's blog | Email this page | 3109 reads

The most famous Doctor Who nemeses, the Daleks, are to battle The Doctor in a special two-part story set in Thirties New York...

They are to feature in episodes four and five of the forthcoming third series of the Bafta award-winning BBC One drama.

David Tennant as The Doctor and new companion Freema Agyeman, who plays medical student Martha Jones, will be joined in this story by Desperate Housewives actor Ryan Carnes, Miranda Raison, star of BBC One spy drama Spooks, and Holby City favourite Hugh Quarshie.

The production team has recently confirmed further casting details for series three, including Dean Lennox Kelly, Mark Gatiss and Anne Reid.

Martha's family will include Trevor Laird, who will be playing her dad Clive, and Adjoa Andoh as Francine, Martha's mum. Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays her sister Tish and DJ Reggie Yates appears as her brother.

Russell T Davies, lead writer and Executive Producer, says: "Every time the Daleks return we make them bigger and better than ever before and this time their plan is the most audacious Dalek scheme yet!

"Even The Doctor finds himself out of his depth..."

The new series of Doctor Who is scheduled to air in spring 2007.

Billie Piper is coming back it's just been confirmed! yay! i was listening to a podcast of series 2 episode 13, and the executive producer said that the Doctor was going to say to Rose he loved her. so i hope they don't just drop this so they go back to being just 'friends'. How boring! and it would be sad again if she had to leave again because she love's her new life yada yada.

sorry i just think they are made for eachother!!!!!!!! i think it will be so amazing and i hope billie returns for the three specials in 2009!!!!!!!!!!

Fremma sucks, she's stuck up, and not a very good actress, additionally she just doesn't fit the role at all. Unload what doesn't work and put back what did.
