Warning: The following post discusses events from episode 12 of ‘Doctor Who Series 4. Do not read on if you are trying to avoid spoilers for episode 12 – ’The Stolen Earth’. The post does NOT contain spoilers for the finale – ’Journey’s End’’.

This post is about spoilers and in no way tries to create any. So if anyone decides to add a comment claiming they have a spoiler or have worked out the answer to the ‘Doctor Who finale, it will NOT get posted. But, as I will have been exposed to the offending comment in order to delete it, I will track your ISP and hunt you down with a rusty knife. Comprende?

Since last Saturday’s episode of ‘Doctor Who’, I have had a number of people ask me what is happening, in the belief that if anyone would know, it would be me. But, for once, no one seems to know outside of the production team.

To say that Russell T Davies and his band have pulled off a pretty impressive coup would be understating the impact the episode had on an audience conditioned to expect spoilers and pre-publicity to lay out the major plot points and twists in advance.

Yup, another series has nearly zipped past and we are preparing for the annual 6 month agony of waiting for the Christmas Special.

I've had a lot on the last few days with deadlines, meaning I haven't been able to complete some of the many posts I hoped to have up by this weekend. In the meantime, and to keep some of you happy, here is the trailer for the first part of the huge Series 4 finale.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT view this trailer if you haven't seen Series 4 up to episode 11 and are avoiding spoilers, especially if you live in Australia (The Australian release for Series 4 is mid July, so this episode will appear on the ABC in October). I'm not going to get blamed because you can't resist a quick peak and then realise you've just taken some of the surprises out. You have been warned.

You know you’re getting old when your childhood hero is younger than you. 

Yes, that was the revelation I was hit with this week when I discovered that David Tennant, the current actor to play Doctor Who, is only 37. For the first time, the hero I have loyally followed since I was three, turns out to be my junior.
