Doctor Who – The Curse Of The Black Spot
Doctor Who – The Curse Of The Black Spot
Saturday 7 May
6.15-7.00pm BBC ONE
The TARDIS is marooned onboard a 17th-century pirate ship whose crew is being attacked by a mysterious and beautiful sea creature, as the time-travelling drama continues.
Becalmed and beset by cabin fever, the pirates have numerous superstitious explanations for the Siren’s appearance. The Doctor has other ideas but, as his theories are disproved and every plan of escape is thwarted, he must work to win the trust of the implacable Captain Avery and uncover the truth behind the pirates’ supernatural fears – and he must work quickly, for some of his friends have already fallen under the Siren’s spell…
The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Captain Avery by Hugh Bonneville, Amy by Karen Gillan and Rory by Arthur Darvill.

April 22nd, 2011 - 11:33pmDon’t think River dies as her death was seen in Silence in the Library. She dies saving the 10th doctor. This is canon as her death.
Don’t be surprised if its the Doctor that dies. Could explain how he turns up with a beard and a prisoner in area 51. He dies, somehow whisked away that we do not see and then he appears at the end of part one tied to a chair and with beard.
Not long to go to see what the real story is.

April 22nd, 2011 - 7:28pmThis is because I suspect the BBC are considering slots for Doctor Who between this time. This press release is so that there is at least an estimated slot as oppossed to a tbc.

April 22nd, 2011 - 12:07pmmaybe around the rong age though I would say the woman was in her 60s 70s and the episode is set in 1966 in series 6 that would make her around 50 years old depending on how old the little girl is

April 22nd, 2011 - 12:05pmGuess wat I found
On virgin media there was doctor who spoilers and it said that the cybermen might be mondasian cybermen but will look like the tennant cybermen, this would explain why they havent got the cybus industries logo on them
Not Really That Important
April 22nd, 2011 - 11:53amIn The Eleventh Hour, a woman says that she has seen the doctor before. And in the 1st episode of S6, a little girl has been captured, maybe she is the little girl, and she see’s the Doctor when he is in U.S.A
booboo
April 22nd, 2011 - 11:35amyes but they also have listed So You Think You Can Dance from 6.30-7.30pm so something is wrong , they listed Day of the moon for an hour 6.00 – 7.00 but they have just changed it to 6.00 – 6.45

April 22nd, 2011 - 10:32amriver must be die in episode one because it says Amy is played by karen gillan, rory is played by Arthur Darvill and the doctor is played by Matt Smith.
so it cant be Amy, Rory or the doctor that dies.

April 21st, 2011 - 2:28pmWe commonly use it these days to mean a woman regarded as seductive and beautiful but the original origin (and meaning) comes from Greek mythology and refers to one of a group of sea nymphs who by their sweet singing lured mariners to destruction on the rocks surrounding their island.
