The Classic Doctor Who DVD Releases are always the clue to the new season...

They released a few dalek ones just before the new series. (Including The Beginning to coincide with the 2005 beginning)

The Invasion (best of the then unreleased Cybermen stories) just before the Cybermen appeared

The Master's comeback box (Keeper to Castrovalva) just before the Master showed up.

The Invasion of Time and Sontaran box set just before the Sontarans appeared.

Davros Box set just before Davros.

There's been a few interesting tidbits lately...

Meddler
1. Patrick Stewart describing the sort of Villain he wanted to be (a good person who doesn't realize the implications)
2. Strong Rumours of Patrick Stewart as the Meddling Monk
3. DVD Release - Time Meddler

The Brigadier
1. Unit appearing in the last series
2. Lethbridge Stewart appearing in Sarah Jane
3. Release of Battlefield on DVD.

The Master Returns
1. Statements from John Simm
2. Scheduled DVD Release of Frontier in Space/Planet of the Daleks set

Time Lords
1. Release of Trial on DVD
2. Scheduled Release of Deadly Assassin on DVD
3. Scheduled Release of the War Games on DVD
4. Strong Rumous about the Time War

The rumours i heard, Steven Moffett is not Bringing back the Time Lords or the Older villains (Daleks, Cybermen Master etc), instead he might bring some new excitng villains that will beat the Dalek as the greatest villain in Doctor Who here are some rumours
Blancmanges [b]
there is a rumor that there will be a Two Parted episode about Alien Blancmanges from the Planet skyron in the galaxy of Andromeda, who turn english people to scotsmen to win Wimbledon

[b]Prince Philip

There is a rumour that Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh is to appear as the antagonist in the Two parted final, the the antagonist is non other than himself, in Doctor Who, he is actually a near Human alien from the Plannet Mountbatten, Like the Doctor he is the Last of his species (His species are known as Philips, these near Human aliens look, act and sound just like Prince Philip, even the women). his Plan is to Become king of England, dominate the world, change everyone to Philips, turn Earth to New Mountbatten and create a Philip empire

You've been watching too much of the goodies and their black puddings.

that sounds a bit too Stargateesque to me.

I don't really care bout the villians, Tenant was my introduction to Doctor Who series.....okay, the guy before Tenant, who.....well.....he was lacking. He was a street punk with flair. Tenant was like Jim Carrey reserved. This new guy needs to be...well, something resembling Picard, a bit of Kirk, the temper of Janeway, the mentality of Sisko, a bit of brains like Daniel, and no issue with brawn like either Shepperd, O'Neil, or Ronon. He needs to be an all around person...er....being.

There seems to be a tradition of completely wiping out a race in one episode, only to have them come back in force in another episode. Fortunately, they only do this with a few races.

Yeah...it's a bit annoying really... most of the time in the old series they at least tried to give a one-liner excuse about how they escaped. (oh... then again ... they keep falling through the damn void don't they.. the void in ideas).

In the case of Gallifrey however, since it's a temporal thing, they could simply shift time. (and accidentally bring back a whole host of villains) - maybe even Morbius as a person - before he became chop suey.

I thought the Doctor was the last of the Gallifreyans...;)

Well, Star Trek has a long history of 'reboot' episodes...;) I thought Morbius lasted until the final Matrix movie...'cause some things never change...;)

Monty Python's Flying Circus, actually. That whole blancmange plot took up (almost) the entire seventh episode.

Also, by anyone else's logic, shouldn't the Silurians and Sea Devils have been in the fourth series? Or the Key to Time?

I think, in fact, now that I come to think of it, that we have more chance of linking Patrick Stewart with the Valeyard instead of the Time Meddler. In fact, that makes a hell of a lot more sense when you consider the Trial of a Timelord boxset. Not to mention the fact that the Time Lords are dead, so the Valeyard, being the Doctor's dark side, would probably be the only other one around.

It's a pity they haven't brought back the earth reptiles, though hopefully the Pertwee versions.

You're right about the Valeyard.... I guess the fact that Patrick Stewart has a bald head like a monk is a bit misleading.

Any clues from the old series about The Doctor's daughter? I'm still waiting for her to make a comeback!

The doctor's daughter was an entirely new thing. The Doctor does have a granddaughter and it's believed that the relative was Susan's (the Grandaughter)'s mother.

The thing is that Gallifreyans were sterile at the time of the Doctor's Birth - (weaving on the loom) and certainly during his daughter and grandaughter's "birth".

Since the actress who played the Doctor's daughter had a thing with David Tennant but broke up afterwards... she might have been a bit reluctant to return while David was still in the role. She may change her mind when the 11th doctor is installed.
