Jenny -New Companion in Season 31?

Reports from The Sun suggest that Jenny, The Doctor's daughter, will be returning to Doctor Who as a full-time companion for the fifth series of the show. Jenny appeared in the sixth episode of Doctor Who series four and is played by actress Georgia Moffett. According to the article the show's bosses are keen to sign her up after she proved a hit with fans of the show. Earlier reports suggested that she would appear in one of the specials next year but as always nothing has been confirmed yet so I would take this with a pinch of salt. These are just rumours at the moment and they may prove to be true or they may prove to be false. In other news Freema Agyeman has been cast in the upcoming show Law and Order: London. Would you like Jenny to return to Doctor Who for it's fifth series in 2010?

No Daleks in 2010

New Head Writer Steven Moffat has confirmed that he does not intend to bring the Daleks in the Fifth Series that will begin in 2010 after Russell T Davies steps down from the last Christmas special. Since the revival of Doctor Who in 2005 by Russell T Davies the Daleks have appeared in every series which in total is nine episodes, three with Christopher Eccleston and six with David Tennant, which has been criticized by many fans who claim the Daleks have been overused.

• Steven Moffat said: “Fans always look back, but shows have to look forward.
• “There’s a brand new audience of kids for Doctor Who each year and they have to think it’s their programme, not some relic that belongs to their parents.”
• He said: “I’m as obsessed with the show’s past as many in the audience, but I have to resist my impulse and keep everything fresh.”

It is unknown if any Classic Doctor Who monster will return to battle the Doctor during the Steven Moffat Era of Doctor Who. Steven Moffat made no comment on any plans of returning Companions or Villains from the New Series of Doctor Who. Steven Moffat previously stated that to write for Doctor Who is his Childhood dream.

Simon says No

Simon Pegg has ruled out taking the lead role in Doctor Who, reports Wired.

The Hot Fuzz actor, who appeared in the sci-fi show as a guest star in 2005, admitted that he would not want to replace David Tennant for fear of ruining the series.

He said: "Being the Doctor? I don't think I'd do it for two reasons. One, I'm really loving doing movies. I'm really enjoying working in the US. Second, I really love Doctor Who and I'd hate to have to sit down every Saturday night and have it be me. "

"David's done such an incredible job, he's gonna be a tough act to follow. It would feel awful if I just went and balled up the franchise by just being rubbish."

Pegg's next film How To Lose Friends & Alienate People, in which he co-stars with Gillian Anderson and Megan Fox, is scheduled for release in the UK on October 3.
