Not long to wait now, until Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead is unleashed upon us.

Here's the official blurb from the BBC for the special starring David Tennant, Michelle Ryan and Lee Evans that broadcasts at 6.45pm on Saturday.

When a London bus takes a detour to an alien world, the Doctor must join forces with the extraordinary Lady Christina. But the mysterious planet holds terrifying secrets, hidden in the sand. And time is running out, as the deadly Swarm gets closer...

Sounds exciting, eh? I have deliberately found out as little about his one as possible, as I find that adds to the enjoyment.

I will come back on Saturday evening sometime and post a proper review, but in the meantime feel free to add your comments.
