Whisperings
What with everyone wondering if Tennant will stay for series 5, heres a mini post from DigitalSpy about his withdrawal symptoms.
David Tennant has revealed that he is missing his Doctor Who colleagues during his sabbatical from the hit show.
"I'm excited to be doing Hamlet," he told Doctor Who Magazine, "but I have got very at home in Cardiff. I love that crew. I love that set-up. I love the show, so I'm missing that. I miss Russell's writing. Shakespeare's all right, but he's lacking in spaceships"
(Full article can be seen here)
And while we're on the subject of Hamlet and actors who are in it, some of the latest whisperings are that Patrick Stewart may be the 2nd big name to be cast for the 2009 specials (the first rumored to be Albert Finney)
This obviously depends on whether he has the time to to it, and whether he wants to accept the role. IF he does however, then according to the wonderful Eddie on the DWF:
There will be no facial prosthetics or heavy make up
There's a "killer" costume
Patrick is keen to play someone who is "not the good guy for a change" (although the character is "not all bad")
It's a significant enough character to be either moved, removed or revived later, depending on his availability
He's keen to work again with David Tennant and "have the relationship evolve"
So there we go! Obviously these are just rumors and aren't confirmed yet. But people have already began speculating about Time Lords and Gallifrey...
UPDATE: Now there are whisperings of Stewart playing the Meddling Monk - another renegade Time Lord (read about him here)
And Lee (DWF) also put in these words:
Daleks (a Moff written 2-parter to open series 5)
Ice Warriors
Zygons
Celtic companion. Non contemporary (female)
Again, theres nothing to confirm any of these. But still... Squee!

Me again: For a really fun rumour, read the comments. Someone says that David Morrissey is actually playing William Hartnell as a young Doctor. It'd certainly make sense, based on the costume. I know I'm personally having a "Why didn't someone think of that before?" moment. But as ever, these are all rumours and speculation, so make of them what you will.
Oh, and the trailer shown at Comic Con is on the right of the page.
