Welcome to Gaia! ::

All sorts of spoilers for "New Earth" are coming out over the internet, which was played during the Doctor Who Season 2 Press Launch on March 28. Here's a link to a report on the event by the BBC:

In addition to some significant spoilers to "New Earth", the article reports some spoilery tidbits from a 3-minute preview reel that was also screened (its apparently not the same as the trailer shown after The Christmas Invasion). The name of a new alien race is also mentioned.

The webpage also has links to excerpts from a Q&A session with Tennant and Piper (contains a few more spoilers), as well as Real Audio interviews with stars Noel Clarke (Mickey) and Camille Coduri (Jackie), and series writers Mark Gatiss, Stephen Moffat, and Matthew Graham.

1. New Earth (airs Saturday, April 15)

For those of you wanting a little taste of season two before April 15, the first (of 13) supplemental TARDISODES is now online:

It's a 41-second clip that basically serves as a sort of teaser for "New Earth" (although the scenes themselves will probably not appear in the actual story... see below)

What are TARDISODES?
From the BBC's Website:
Created by the team behind the interactive adventure Attack of the Graske, the TARDISODES will be additions to the main storyline, featuring back-stories about the characters and adventures coming up in the next episode.

Each one will be available to watch on Saturday nights after the previous week's episode goes out - and the BBC's Doctor Who website is the place to come to get your weekly fix.

That was quite scary.
