WHO’s Fifth Season
Delayed Till 2010!!

I am – Hercules!!

The BBC is giving “Doctor Who” a rest.

Here’s how it works:

* “Who’s” 13-episode fourth season (or 30th, depending upon whether or not one counts the show’s first 26 seasons) – the one starring Catherine Tate – began shooting last month and will hit the BBC in spring 2008. (America’s SciFi Channel is currently transmitting season three-slash-29).

* In 2009 three “specials” overseen by “Queer As Folk” mastermind Russell Davies will arrive at the Beeb.

* Season five (or 31), presumably comprised of 13 episodes, will hit the BBC in 2010.
