Doctor Who – The Doctor’s Wife
Doctor Who – The Doctor’s Wife
Saturday 14 May
6.30-7.20pm BBC ONE
The Doctor receives a distress signal from an old friend. Could there really be another living Time Lord out there? Hopes raised, he follows the signal to a junkyard planet sitting upon a mysterious asteroid in a Bubble universe, populated by a very strange family, as the time-travelling drama continues.
The Doctor, Amy and Rory are given the warmest of welcomes by Auntie, Uncle and Nephew. But the beautiful and insane Idris greets them in a more unusual fashion – what is she trying to tell the Doctor? As the Doctor investigates, he unwittingly puts his friends in the gravest danger.
The Doctor is played by Matt Smith, Amy by Karen Gillan, Rory by Arthur Darvill and Idris by Suranne Jones.

May 7th, 2011 - 9:49pmI vote Rani. I hope the Rani.
if anyone could hide from the Time War and remember who she is, it would be her. Who do you think invented the ‘Watch’ hiding trick? remember her speciality is genetics and chemical manipulations.

May 2nd, 2011 - 7:10pmCould be Mel or the rani or romana of river or leela or susan
Maom stripes
May 2nd, 2011 - 1:35pmI think it’s Romana. In an interview the writer said that Idris could be an old friend with a new face, so if this is true it’s most likely a time lady.
Anywho, I’d love it to be Romana, but if it isn’t I won’t mind, there’s always fanfic!
4thdoctorforever
May 2nd, 2011 - 3:35pmyes but also I think they stated that the old face has not been seen since the war games.
either which it’s still going to be a timelord/lady.
4thdoctorforever
May 2nd, 2011 - 12:59pmIt’s a returning villan which hasn’t been seen since the war games (1969)

Jak
April 29th, 2011 - 10:10amcould be the Rani.
The Cosmic Hobbo
April 30th, 2011 - 2:57pmno because the rani didn’t have any romantic relationship with the doctor
Lovin’ the D-Who
May 9th, 2011 - 5:13amActually, it was always hinted that The Rani and The Doctor had some sort of relationship previous to her appearances.
I have also read that she could be the personification of the TARDIS, Although, I don’t know how they’d begin to write that.
will sigma
April 29th, 2011 - 12:52amI think its susan
arjun

Gallifreyan1
April 29th, 2011 - 12:50amI truly TRULY hope it isn’t Romana. I don’t want Steven to ruin her.
Jason doctorwhoone
April 29th, 2011 - 8:18amWhy not Romana ?, she may have left back in the 70’s, but Big Finish [ or whoever it was ] brought Romana out of E-Space with K9 MkII, returned to Gallifrey and ended up as Madame President of the Time Lords of Gallifrey, and possibly survived the Time War [ Chameleon Arch converting her into a Human or a Human looking Alien ] so she could be alive.
Anonymous
April 29th, 2011 - 4:19pmSteven Moffat is not writing this episode so how would he ruin her?
Randomizer
April 29th, 2011 - 9:13pmI don’t even like her so bringing her back would be pointless
king gerbil
April 30th, 2011 - 12:09pmRomana 1 is my favourite character so i hope she does come back
Gallifreyan1
May 1st, 2011 - 3:43amYou see, if I knew Stupid Steven wasn’t writing it than. PLEASE MAKE IT ROMANA!!!!
TheWHOLegend

Jason doctorwhoone
April 28th, 2011 - 6:17pmThere is another Time Lord out there . . . . . . the Doctor’s Daughter, Jenny 🙂
The Doctor doesint know she’s alive, and from what roumours have been mentioned on Doctor Who Wiki [ http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Series_6_%28Doctor_Who%29 ], it seems Jenny may possibly be back this Series, but in a new form, so not Georgia Moffat, someone im not really familiar with called Catrin Stewart [ http://www.spotlight.com/interactive/cv/F138979.html ].
Angel Tim
April 28th, 2011 - 10:27pmwhen I heard of this, I thought of jenny as well!! 😆 😕 ❓ ❓ 😆
DalekDrone9
April 29th, 2011 - 9:33amBut remember Jenny was not really a time lord or time lady she was created by that cloning device
Anonymous
April 29th, 2011 - 4:19pmI think there might be more than one person in the universe called Jenny.
Doctor Who Star 100
April 28th, 2011 - 6:16pmit could be Jenny, Romana or susan
The daughter, The Friend or The Granddaughter?
you choose!
TARDIS
April 28th, 2011 - 8:24pmCANT BELIEVE IT OMG OMG OMG
time lord victories
April 28th, 2011 - 5:25pmso…… is tis going to be an hour long aswell?
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 5:58pmHere’s hoping For that LOL
booboo
April 28th, 2011 - 7:32pmNo, they will alter the timings nest week
Doctor Who Star 100
April 28th, 2011 - 5:15pmIdris Is His Wife
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 5:47pmI never would have guessed
The Adventure Games
April 28th, 2011 - 4:32pmI think Idris is the doctors wife.
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 5:48pmThat’s what I was thinking, you defiantly stretched your imagination there LOL
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 2:31pmSome people are saying she is the doctors daughter regenerated or iris from human nature ????????
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 2:29pmIt coulld also me the Master or Omega , have left out anyone ?
whofan4ever
April 28th, 2011 - 4:40pmthe master is stuck in the time war remember
simon w
April 28th, 2011 - 5:43pmThe Rani, Romana, Rasalon(sorry for spelling)
Anonymous
April 28th, 2011 - 8:54pmWe don’t know The Master has been sent to the Time War, it is only hinted.
I Love Cybermen
April 28th, 2011 - 11:25pmIf he is stuck it doesn’t mean he can’t return. No Dr Who foe is gone for good (well, except, one presumes, the Candyman). The daleks, for instance, have been wiped out, extinct and all sorts over and over again. The cybermen’s original world blew up, all their invasion forces often seemingly wiped out and also once, all of the ‘cybus ones’ stuck in the void. Didn’t stop the beauties from returning again and again, and neither would I wish a classic Who foe to vanish!
timedude
April 30th, 2011 - 7:20pmi actchulley think it is amy’s daughter cos of the picture in the room. or i might be river song’s daughter. cos she was a child who regenerated so ???? just think cos it most likely defenantly won’t be omega, romana, the master, rassalon, jenny etc.
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 2:27pmShe could be from the tennent eara also
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 2:25pmIt could alsombe Romana or Leela
Hector Sadler
April 29th, 2011 - 8:00amWell Romana or not. I remember 2 actress Mary Tamm & Lalla Ward played role. Lalla Ward was married to Tom Baker 30 year ago before he decide to leave the Dr Who series. After that their Marriage broke up. Now married to different people. I would love to see Romana return but like this. A New actress should be in Consideration.
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 2:24pmShe must be THE RANI ?
TARDIS
April 28th, 2011 - 7:01pmno classic monsters are coming back
Anonymous
April 28th, 2011 - 8:54pmSteven Moffat has confirmed that Piers Wenger was lying when he said that. There will be old enemies returning.
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 2:24pmIs it The Rani I wonder ?
Fox Mulder
April 28th, 2011 - 2:22pmSurranne jones is hot, can’t wait to see this And MORE timelords cool
Drsuperwho
