Catching Up!
Late to the game on this one, but just in case you haven't seen them yet, here's the covers/synopses (courtesy of Outpost Gallifrey) for the latest round of DW BBC novels, due to be released in September:
The Taking of Chelsea 426 by David Llewellyn
The Chelsea Flower Show: Hardly the most exciting or dangerous event in the calendar, or so the Doctor thinks. But this is Chelsea 426, a city-sized future colony floating on the clouds of Saturn, and the flowers are much more than they seem.
As the Doctor investigates, he becomes more and more worried. Why is shopkeeper Mr Pemberton acting so strangely? And what is Professor Wilberforce’s terrible secret?
They are close to finding the answers when a familiar foe arrives, and the stakes suddenly get much higher. The Sontarans have plans of their own, and they’re not here to arrange flowers...
***
The Krillitane Storm by Christopher Cooper
When the TARDIS materialises in medieval Worcester, the Doctor finds the city seemingly deserted. He soon discovers its population are living in a state of terror, afraid to leave their homes after dark, for fear of meeting their doom at the hands of the legendary Devil’s Huntsman.
For months, people have been disappearing, and the Sheriff has imposed a strict curfew across the city, his militia maintaining control over the superstitious populace with a firm hand, closing the city to outsiders. Is it fear of attack from beyond the city walls that drives him or the threat closer to home? Or does the Sheriff have something to hide?
After a terrifying encounter with a deadly Krillitane, the Doctor realises the city has good reason to be scared.

Autonomy – Daniel Blythe
Hyperville is 2013's top hi-tech 24-hour entertainment complex – a sprawling palace of fun under one massive roof. You can shop, or experience the excitement of Doomcastle, Winterland, or Wild West World. But things are about to get a lot more exciting – and dangerous...
What unspeakable horror is lurking on Level Zero of Hyperville? And what will happen when the entire complex goes over to Central Computer Control?
For years, the Nestene Consciousness has been waiting and planning, recovering from its wounds. But now it’s ready, and it’s deadly plastic Autons are already in place around the complex. Now more than ever, visiting Hyperville will be an unforgettable experience...

I'm guessing these will be our last novels with Ten - I hope not, but I think they will be. *sniffs*

lucyd3, here's your link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1110263/Wheres-Tardis-need-David-Tennant-gets-mobbed-hundreds-fans.htmlEeeeek! Poor DT! I'm assuming you've seen the pics of fans blocking Georgia Moffet's getaway car from (I think) Friday night? And tonight is the last night of Hamlet, and it's looking like there will be no DVD. Part of me is clinging to hope that this is because they're taking the show on the road, but no word yet. I can't even begin to imagine the insanity that will occur outside the theater today/tonight.
And this is from some insanely bored browsings yesterday in designated 'safe' areas while waiting for some tests to come back: http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090109/sc_livescience/womencansmellamansintentions
Someone must write a fic about this. Just not me! XD
And finally, it looks like the sprained left wrist will be requiring surgery. *headdesk* Unfortunately, my mother will be undergoing a bilateral knee replacement in February, and I'm already going to be flying home for that to help out/provide moral support and whatnot. Maybe I'll be able to get it fixed in March, if it'll wait that long.

Castle Anthrax? I dunno. Are you thinking because of the audience? 'Cause they'll be trying really hard Not To Be Seen.
We can has Mexican standoff? *sigh*
Looks that way, unfortunately.
I would be astonished if S5 starts filming in July. They don't appear to be doing this year's Christmas special.
Isn't that because one of the specials with Ten will be shown at Christmas?
Not a southpaw then. This must be particularly frustrating in your line of work!
Nope. There's several lefties in the family, but I'm not one of them. And it's not particularly frustrating, I just have to be careful. As long as I don't turn or bend the wrist while lifting something heavy, it's doable. If it's surgerized, it'd be splinted up big time for two weeks with no weight whatsoever. Having the right wrist out was worse, as I have to sign my name a few zillion times a day.

Although they are substantially less likely to have high explosives used upon them if they are spotted or even suspected to be in a given location.
*now picturing Ten hauling himself up out of the hot springs, fishing a wheeled blackboard and pointer out of the jacket, and offering to conduct a lecture if they're all so interested, still standing there dripping wet and nekkid with his hands indignantly on his hips*
*after he finishes his strop, angry dimples included*
"Blimey, there's a bit of a draft in here!"
Isn't that because one of the specials with Ten will be shown at Christmas?
That is quite likely to be the case, from the looks of things at the mo. Given that the last Special is a two-parter (and whether that means one extra hour of Special, or it's replacing one of the other specials I don't know), best guesses at the moment have it two-partering either on Christmas and then New Year's, or somewhere thereabouts.

"Blimey, there's a bit of a draft in here!"
Ha! That'd have to be an omake, as Ten would be either a) busy, or b) passed out. *grins*

*Rose, still buried beneath unconscious Time Lord, to Lyra*
"Could you hand me that smoothie? Thanks!"

Lyra: *grumbles* The things I have to do....
