Radio Times Cover/Christmas special scheduling
In The Radio Times 5-11th December: exclusive preview of Doctor Who Christmas special and Russell T Davies reveals how David Tennant’s Doctor will be going out with a bang.

Plus, Russell T Davies reveals that the Master is back:
John Simm is back, as the Master, fellow Time Lord and the Doctor’s arch nemesis for nearly four decades. But Russel T Davies wasn’t daunted by the inconvenience of having killed off the Master in 2007 – this is sci-fi, after all: “It’s personal for the Doctor. The Master is his enemy, his opposite, and yet so tantalisingly close to being his soul mate. There’s something epic about their sheer existence – the last two survivors of an ancient race. It’s a clash of the titans. Both of them heading for death, and yet both determined to survive – at any cost!”
