Doctor Who's return rumours hit the press and internet.

It's been another week of hopes raised and hopes dashed, with news of the Doctor's return hitting the Sunday papers and the world wide web.

In the 16th March addition of the Observer, Jane Tranter, the Head of Drama for the BBC, was asked for her opinions on the state of Saturday night television.

After bemoaning modern day drama, Jane suggested her fantasy Saturday night viewing in which she said, "I'd like to do a modern version of Doctor Who starring someone like Judi Dench".

Maybe a new Dr. Who? That would be awesome! I didnt know who he was a year ago until someone pointed me to the DVDs, now Im a Dr. Who fanatic. I just hope that it's an original Dr. Who movie, not a remake.

But they won't have Doug Adams writing it... I did not know that. To think that they think that someone else could replace him in anything! Perhaps they'll just redo all the old episodes. That might work, provided they do the special effects right.

Douglas Adams only wrote one episode, he wasnt a major part of the show.

Hope it will be good, but i have my doubts.

The episodes of Dr. Who I've seen were all horribly bad, I can live with the crappy effects but the storyline was unfathomably boring, so boring as to be completely unwatchable. To put it bluntly, Dr. Who blew chunks.
