Planet Of The Dead Airdate

I received my SKY TV mag this morning, and according to the publication, the first Special is to air over the Easter Bank Holiday - 10th-13th April. Sunday 13th April is likely as BBC ONE and ITV1 see the return of Robin Hood and Primeval respectively. Can not wait!!!!

Episode: 4.17

The first glimpse of the newest special, reported by alun.vega

The scene is a bookstore, present day earth etc, nothing to hint that its parallel or anything spooky... and an author called Verity Newman is signing her book: A Journal of Impossible Things.

The Doctor has a short conversation with Verity, similar to that with Gewn Cooper in Journey's End.

The book is a modern hardback with a purple cover featuring a fob watch design.

Recognise who's playing Verity? Jessica Hynes who played Joan Redfern in Human Nature/Family Of Blood. I am guessing that Verity Newman is Joan's granddaughter and inherited John Smith's Journal of Impossible Things from Joan Hmmm....
