From TVFix:
Is Gillian Anderson planning a voyage on Doctor Who's TARDIS?
The British tabloid Daily Express reports that the former star of The X-Files is being lined up to star opposite Matt Smith, the 26-year-old actor who'll take over Doctor Who's lead role in 2010. Doctor Who's new head writer Steven Moffat reportedly wants Anderson to appear as "a deadly enemy of the Time Lord" in an episode of the sci-fi classic's fifth season: it's understood that the actress could play the renegade Time Lady Rani, a character not seen since the 1980s.
Originally played by Kate O'Mara, Rani was an evil scientific genius who would stop at nothing to complete her nefarious experiments. "Gillian obviously has a massive sci-fi following and it's felt it would be a major coup to have her appear in Doctor Who," a Doctor Who insider told the Express. "The team behind the show are keen for the next Doctor to have lots of new enemies and Gillian would be a glamorous and impressive addition to the list. Rani would be a perfect role for her as the character used to be regarded as one of the Doctor's most deadly opponents."
The next Doctor Who special Planet of the Dead, starring David Tennant in the title role, will premiere in Australia on ABC1 in May.
If it's true this'll be interesting. I was hoping they'd bring back the Rani, especially after the Master's death (when his ring was taken by a femme looking hand).

Seems they can do anything they want with the 8th Doctor.
Dr Who Finale
Sep. 28th, 2008 10:28 pmWell, wasn't that a ripper of an episode!
The whole season for m has pretty much been a "fans season". Most of the stories have been good, and featured ideas that hinge upon the Doctor (or a companion) being who they are. I can already imagine the fan fiction centring around Rose and the Doctor's clone.
Some I though odd, was that it looked like Donna was wearing the Master's ring in the final episode. It's unlikely to be the case, but it did look like it to me. How are they going to better this next season?
