    Really? Wow. Acknowledging a beloved actor's death on children's TV? This is some real Mr Hooper shit.

    I kind of want to know how they explained it; did they go all "She's gone to sleep" or was it more honest and straightforward?

    The BBC actually describes all deaths in the manner of Monty Python's dead parrot skit

    Slight mix up - the BBC will have a 15 minute tribute to Elizabeth immediately before the Doctor Who season premier. The 15 minute tribute after the show is on CBBC. I'm assuming the CBBC one will be directed much more at younger viewers.

    I've only seen it mentioned as 'a tribute' before the premiere; no mention of duration, and 15 minutes sounds very long for BBC1.

    That said, I'm extremely impressed with the turnover time. It reminds me of the Screenwipe about kids' television, which came out in the week Oliver Postgate died, and they managed to throw an *incredibly* moving tribute sequence in to the end of the episode.

    Does this mean K-9 will return to the Doctor?

    If he does, I hope the Doctor puts him in a box. Or lets him roam the thousands of empty TARDIS corridors forever.

    Sorry Sarah. I'll miss you. But I won't miss your dog.

    Yeah K9 was my favorite Companion from old Who when I was a little kid. He was so god damn useful they had to start writing in methods for K9 to break just so he wouldn't automatically save the day.

    There is definitely a large head of hair there. You can see the forehead go up above the nose and then the hair extends above it. Cant be nine then.

    I would say they couldn't handle a musical, but that's just because I don't think I have ever liked a musical episode of any show.

    Considering Douglas Adams' history with this show and Moffat's love of Adams, I could really see that first one happening, at least as a reference.
