Three weddings and a doctor (THIS CAN’T BE TRUE)

WEDDING fever will hit Doctor Who - with three of the Timelord's former sidekicks getting hitched, TV Biz can reveal.

They will all get wed as Who star David Tennant bows out of the show,

We previously told how all the time-travelling hero's assistants will return for Tennant's final scenes on the BBC1 sci-fi hit later this year.

Wedding belle ... Rose, actress Billie Piper

Fans will see Rose Tyler - played by Billie Piper - marry the half-human clone of the Doctor in their parallel universe.

Meanwhile, Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) - her replacement as assistant - will tie the knot with Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke).

Tennant will also make a special guest appearance in the CBBC spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures for the wedding of his former companion Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen).

Wed ... Martha, Freema Agyeman

Executive producer Russell T Davies said: "Viewers thought they may have to wait until November for the next full episode of Doctor Who - but this is an extra special treat."

Comedian Catherine Tate, who plays sidekick Donna Noble, will also reunite with Tennant, 38, for his finale.

He will be replaced in the next series by 26-year-old Matt Smith, who will become the 11th Doctor.

A show source said: "Fans won't be disappointed by the new Doctor and they're in for a treat with the new series - which will include the return of the ultra-scary Weeping Angels."

Meanwhile, we can reveal that Tennant has signed up for even more Doctor Who episodes - as a cartoon.

The Scots star has already recorded seven new animated shorts. They will also feature his real-life girlfriend Georgia Moffett, who played the Doctor's daughter in the 2008 series.

Russell said the six-minute episodes - called Dreamland - will feature "truly exotic aliens and locations, in a beautiful, rich script full of history and imagination".

He added: "Voice recordings have already been completed - including David Tennant as the Doctor of course.

"And we're delighted to welcome Georgia Moffett back to the fold."

Spin-off nuptials ... Sarah Jane, actress Elisabeth Sladen

But Russell said the cartoon series would not see a return for the Doctor's daughter - as Georgia, 24, will be playing a brand new character called Cassie Rice.

The series - which will air on CBBC - will be the second animated Who story to star Tennant.

He appeared in The Infinite Quest two years ago.

Russell will give way to Steven Moffat as the show's lead writer and executive producer in 2010.

But he hinted at yet ANOTHER outing for Tennant as the Timelord.

He said: "With the Doctor's appearance in The Sarah Jane Adventures as special project one, and the Dreamland animation as special project two, it would be nice to round things off for Doctor Who in 2009 with a special project three. We're working on it."

Rumours abound that Russell is working on a Doctor Who movie which could star Tennant.

Who is Karen Gillan? NEW COMPANION

Breaking News:
21 year old British actress Karen Gillan has been announced as the new companion for Series Five of Doctor Who. She's already played a Soothsayer in the series, in The Fires Of Pompeii but is relatively unknown with a number of roles in Channel 4's The Kevin Bishop Show and Stacked and a forthcoming appearance in Outcast.
Joining Matt Smith in the TARDIS, she said: "I am absolutely over the moon at being chosen to play the Doctor's new companion. - I just can't wait to get started."
"The show is such a massive phenomenon that I can't quite believe I am going to be a part of it. Matt Smith is an incredible actor and it is going to be so much fun to act alongside him," she added.
The show's writer and executive producer Steven Moffat said that the game was up when Gillan walked through the door at auditions, describing her as "funny, and clever, and gorgeous, and sexy".

"A generation of little girls will want to be her. And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too," he added.
Piers Wenger, Doctor Who executive producer and head of drama BBC Wales, added: "We knew Karen was perfect for the role the moment we saw her. She brought an energy and excitement to the part that was just fantastic."

THE LOW DOWN

Who is Karen Gillan?

The new companion, starring opposite Matt Smith when Doctor Who returns for a full series in Spring, 2010, has been revealed! She has appeared previously in Doctor Who, playing the Soothsayer in the Tenth Doctor adventure, The Fires of Pompeii. In that episode the Doctor admits, 'I sometimes need someone' and from 2010 that someone will be Karen Gillan!

After winning the coveted role, Karen, 21, announced, 'I am absolutely over the moon at being chosen to play the Doctor's new companion. The show is such a massive phenomenon that I can't quite believe I am going to be a part of it.'

Karen grew up in Inverness, Scotland and developed a love for acting very early on, attending several youth theatre groups and taking part in a wide range of productions at her school, Charleston Academy.

Aged 16, Karen decided she wanted to pursue her acting career further and a year later secured a place at the prestigious Italia Conti academy in London. During her first year she landed a role in Rebus and soon appeared in a variety of programmes including Channel 4's Stacked and The Kevin Bishop Show. Karen also stars in the forthcoming film Outcast starring James Nesbitt.

When she's not acting Karen likes to play the piano and loves rummaging through vintage clothes shops. But it looks unlikely she'll be able to do much rummaging in the near future as she gears up for a life in the TARDIS, and in the limelight!

But she's ready for the challenges and adventures that will follow, declaring, 'Matt Smith is an incredible actor and it is going to be so much fun to act alongside him - I just can't wait to get started!'

Doctor Who Movie Script In Development

According to Lizo Mzimba, BBC Films have now confirmed that they are working on a script for a Doctor Who movie that will possibly air sometime in the future. Lizo Mzimba, who is a BBC entertainment news reporter and fan of Doctor Who itself, recently revealed this news on his official Twitter page but informed other fans not to get their hopes up at this moment in time as it hasn't been guaranteed that a Doctor Who movie will definitely be made. The BBC are currently considering making one and are developing a script but they may decide not to commission the film for various different reasons. If BBC Films do decide to make a Doctor Who movie and it goes into full production, it should be noted however that it will be quite a long time before it is released due to all of the filming and preparation that needs to take place. More information about the possibility and official BBC consideration of a Doctor Who movie will be posted here on this site as soon as it becomes available. What do you think of this Doctor Who movie news?
