::There's pro and cons either way. At the moment the first and second could be combined, as long as all the redirects are changed (again). I missed one last time and there's probably more. Production wise, the Christmas Special 2008 belongs with S4, but there's a new production block for 4.15-4.18. Story arc wise my guess is that all the specials belong together. I'm not sure the Eleventh Doctor label should be where it is though, I haven't removed it because I guess it will come back again. I think these specials will cause us problems as 'Doctor' and 'Companion' are redefined. And don't forget we're promised a big surpise at the end.

Guest stars
Can we add in the special guest stars for 2009 which are Catherine Tate, John Simm, Bernard Cribbins and Paul McGann who will return as the Eighth Doctor. --VitasV (talk) 22:41, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- No. Those are just rumours from The Sun; and they are highly unreliable. — Edokter • Talk • 22:48, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- If Paul Mcgann is rumoured to appear then you need to add the 9th doctor as you will need the 9th Doctor for the regeneration scene from 8th - 9th Doctor {Ucebaggie (talk)}.
- Not really, it would be possible for 8th to skip forward and meet 10th, or vice versa, without getting 9 involved. magnius (talk) 18:29, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Merge with list of titled episodes?
There's a discussion on the Doctor Who project talk page about my proposal to merge this article with the list of titled episodes article. Cuddlyopedia (talk) 06:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
The Seven Doctors?
A Daily Telegraph report says that the 2008 Children In Need special would be The Seven Doctors. Now this seems very unlikely to me, given the fact that two of the surviving Doctor actors are awkward buggers, and that this is following hot on the heels of Time Crash. There is the added problem of a (presumably) seven minute programme with seven actors meaning that it wouldn't really be worth their while doing it (even for Cheridee). Does anyone know how true this story is? And are we now to treat this as fact because it's in the Teleg, or do we now count that as a tabloid? DavidFarmbrough (talk) 08:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- I believe the original report was in a tabloid, the Daily Mirror, and the Telegraph picked it up from that. Either way, the report carries no named sources, so can be treated as unreliable in that respect. Stephenb (Talk) 11:00, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- I seriously doubt that this is true, but it would be cool. Also probable lies are Prince Charles and Patrick Stewart being in the 2009 specials. magnius (talk) 11:41, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- The Prince Charles thing comes from a statement by RTD who is as great a publicist as JNT was when he asked Prince Edward to do wa walk-on part! DavidFarmbrough (talk) 05:18, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- On considering this further, maybe Eccleston and Baker (T) will be appearing as heads made by Millennium FX and be shown floating around 'like gherkins, pickled in time'. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 04:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- Now that's funny DF. Don't you think that with the advances in FX over the years that they might look more emblamed than pickled? :-D MarnetteD | Talk 04:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- Frankly they could do a cartoon version made by Cosgrove Hall and get archive sound samples of all the dead or awkward Doctors :) DavidFarmbrough (talk) 16:51, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Specials
Wouldn't it be easier to just count the S4-S5 specials as one group called Specials (2008-10) User:ATMarsden/Templates/Sign/Signature 18:45, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
