DALEKS are to take on the Nazis in the new series.
The next Time Lord Matt Smith, 26, will land his Tardis in the middle of World War Two.
And he will discover that Prime Minister Winston Churchill has an army of Daleks to fight the Germans.
He has had them painted in khaki and green battle colours.
And he has even added a Union Flag waving under their eye.
The Daleks will screech: “Ausrotten” the German for their famous cry: “Exterminate.”
But The Doctor and his new sidekick Amy Pond (Karen Gillan, 21) warn the PM not to trust the monsters. A show source said: “It’s going to be one of the most fantastic stories.
“Daleks, Churchill, Nazis, Hitler and Doctor Who‚ who can top that?
“The show’s writers know that bringing back the Daleks is always a ratings winner.”
The episode is being filmed in Wales and will not reach television screens until spring next year.
Viewers will see another familiar face return in the Time Lord’s wife-in-the-future River Song (Alex Kingston, 46).
Bond legend Sir Roger Moore is vying for a guest spot on Doctor Who - after learning his 007 protege Timothy Dalton has landed a part in a forthcoming Christmas special.
Dalton, who took over the reigns from Moore in 1987 to play the suave superspy in The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill, is set to appear in the cult sci-fi show as the mysterious character The Narrator in December.
After hearing his replacement was to star in the show, Moore has offered himself up to play Dalton's father.
He says, "I believe Timothy is to appear in one of the new episodes, so if they ever want anyone to play his dad, I'm available."
Can't wait to see the Daleks. I love them.
The logo - the eleventh incarnation in the show's history - will form part of a revamped title sequence in the new run, which airs from next Spring and sees Matt Smith take over from David Tennant as the titular Time Lord.
Showrunner Steven Moffat said: "A new logo. The eleventh logo for the eleventh Doctor - those grand old words, Doctor Who, suddenly looking newer than ever. And look at that, something really new - an insignia! DW in TARDIS form! Simple and beautiful, and most important of all, a completely irresistible doodle. I apologise to school notebooks everywhere, because in 2010 that's what they're going to be wearing."

they dont need to revamp doctor who, it could go really wrong.
(look what happened to The Bill)

Cheryl Cole is being pursued for a guest spot in the next series of Doctor Who, according to a report in The Mirror today.
The X Factor judge has yet to sign a deal with the show but could play "a big part" in the fifth series, which is currently being filmed in Wales. An insider told the newspaper: "If she can find the time, a part will be written for her."
A BBC spokesperson refused to deny the speculation, saying: "The BBC will not be commenting on casting or storyline speculation for the new series of Doctor Who."
It was previously confirmed that Alex Kingston is reprising her role as River Song for a two-part story in the new run.

AVID Tennant has landed a plum role in a US comedy as a neurotic lawyer.
The 38-year-old will play a top legal eagle in the new NBC show Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.
Rex, played by Tennant, suffers from panic attacks and coaches his clients to represent themselves in court.
A US source said: “At present it is scheduled as just a one-hour pilot episode but this could be a huge break for David Tennant.
“British actors are very popular at the moment on American TV and this show has ‘hit’ written all over it. If it proves popular then it will be turned into a series.”
David will be replaced as the Time Lord by Matt Smith, 27, next year.
He is back on screen as the Doctor on November 15 but his last episodes will be screened at the end of the year.
He admitted: “I think it’s better to go when there’s a chance that people might miss you, rather than to hang around and outstay your welcome.”
David has also starred as Barty Crouch Junior in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, and will appear in St Trinian’s 2: The Legend Of Fritton’s Gold.
Did anyone see the trailer for 15 November before Spooks.

i loved it- all very dark, DT was brilliant as the doctor- when he broke the laws of time, he was very masterly- totally bonkers.
it was also refreshing to see a companion who was a equal to the doctor- not pandering after him, adalade was more than a match for him
how brilliant does xmas look????? love john simm as the master, and love wilf and donna- he is getting his best mate back!
The silver haired dude who played the Master before he regenerated into John Simm was much better
Derek Jacobi - a true legend in the acting world. Shame he's the voiceover on In The Night Garden though.... lolQuote:

Richard Curtis has announced who will play Vincent Van Gogh in his upcoming episode of Doctor Who.
The writer previously revealed that his episode of the show would feature Van Gogh "stabbing a monster".
Curtis told Bullz-Eye: "We've got a brilliant guy playing Vincent van Gogh - which is who it's about - who you should look up on YouTube. He's a guy called Tony Curran, who really could not look more like [him].
"He's a wonderful actor who was in this brilliant movie called Red Road that came out, a rather serious movie. But he's going to be great. I’ve had a lot of fun. We start to shoot in about a month."
He added of his interest in the show: "[I] enjoyed it a lot when I was young, probably drifted away in the middle years, and then, of course, it was stopped.
"I've watched pretty well every episode of the new manifestation, 'cause there's so little family TV, so few times when you can sit down with the whole family and everybody get something out of it. So I'm a serious new convert. "
Red Road was the debut feature from British filmmaker Andrea Arnold, who went on to direct Fish Tank, released earlier this year.

It's now less than five weeks before we will all be sobbing our hearts out as we bid farewell to Mr Tennant. :crying: :crying:
John Barrowman has said that he does not think Captain Jack Harkness will return for Matt Smith's first series of Doctor Who.
The star is tipped to appear in David Tennant's final two-parter as the Tenth Doctor, but Barrowman said that he was not sure if he would reappear in the programme.
Barrowman told Radio 2: "I don't know about Captain's Jack future in Doctor Who because nothing has been said or I haven't been asked.
"I'm kind of prepared that I won't be in any of it, which is fine."
He added: "But we are discussing the future of Torchwood because most definitely Torchwood will come back to the BBC, which is fantastic.
"We're not sure when, because we have to work out the logistics of the filming - and it's already said that it'll be 13 episodes instead of 5."
Torchwood's creator Russell T. Davies recently confirmed that he expected to start work to start on the fourth series in January.

Not a spoiler as such but I could not find a general Dr Who thread. Interesting news though, I think.
The Royal Mint at Llantrisant has announced the launch of a limited range of gold and silver Doctor Who collectible medals.
The Tenth Doctor, K-9 and the Tardis will be the first ever TV characters to be immortalised in this way, the South Wales Echo reports.
Head of UK licensing at BBC Worldwide Richard Hollis said: "David Tennant's performance as The Doctor has been applauded and celebrated across the country and these medals are a fantastic way for fans to collect a lasting memento."
Royal Mint director of commemorative coins David Knight added: "Just as The Doctor is timeless, so too is the enduring appeal of the television series which continues to entertain audiences across the world.
"We hope fans everywhere will find these medals a fitting tribute not just to David Tennant, but to the whole Doctor Who story."
The 500 nine-carat gold medals will be available for £150 each, with the 5,000sterling silver medals on sale for £35.

Bill Nighy is to guest star in an episode of the new series of Doctor Who, Digital Spy can reveal.
The veteran actor will play the curator of a Vincent van Gogh exhibition in the episode, which is penned by Richard Curtis.
A set insider told DS: "It was a real coup to get Bill Nighy in Doctor Who, especially in Richard Curtis's amazing episode. Bill plays a van Gogh expert with some similar fashion choices to The Doctor himself."
The story is set both in the present day and 19th Century France. This Life actor Tony Curran was previously confirmed in the role of van Gogh.
The episode - the tenth in the new series - was filmed on location in Croatia and Cardiff over Christmas.
A BBC spokesperson said: "We do not comment on storyline or character speculation.
The new Doctor Who trailer will premiere this Saturday on BBC One, it has been announced.
The promo for the new series, which stars Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, will also simulcast on the official Who website.
Additionally, the BBC has unveiled a new promo shot for the series, which sees The Doctor and companion Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) pictured together for the first time.
The pair are pictured in a swirling vortex with some of the Doctor’s fiercest enemies including a Dalek, a Weeping Angel and a Smiler.
James Corden has landed a role in Doctor Who, according to tabloid reports.
The Sun says that the Gavin & Stacey star was spotted on a train learning lines for the show while en route to the set in Cardiff.
A show insider is quoted as saying: "We normally keep our guest stars under wraps but you can't hide a bloke like James.
"And now he's not coming to Wales for Gavin & Stacey anymore, it's pretty obvious why he is here. James loves coming to Wales. And it gives him a chance to meet up with Ruth Jones, who co-wrote Gavin and Stacey with him and starred as Nessa."
The source added: "We're just delighted to have James on board. He is a great actor and he'll be a perfect fit for the new Doctor Who."
This morning, show officials refused to confirm or deny the story, telling DS: "We do not comment on casting or storyline speculation."

So its slightly different, but essentially its just the same.
I'm starting to lose interest in this new Doctor Who.
Bring back David Tennant!!
The next series of Doctor Who will premiere on April 3 on BBC One, it has been confirmed.

The episode is entitled 'The Eleventh Hour' and will feature Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and Karen Gillan as his new companion Amy Pond.
The upcoming series is the 31st since Doctor Who first aired in November 1963 and the fifth since the programme's 2005 relaunch headed by Russell T. Davies.

The BBC has revealed the episode titles for the series finale of Doctor Who.
The two-part story is penned by Steven Moffat and will air June 19 and June 26 on BBC One. The first episode is called 'The Pandorica Opens' and the second 'The Big Bang'.
Alex Kingston will reprise her role as River Song for the finale, which is also thought to include appearances from The Daleks, The Cybermen and The Sontarans.

At the moment I prefer Amy to the Doctor.
I absolutely love the new Doctor, but am not so keen on Amy.
I love both!!!!
Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has revealed that the next series of the show will continue the 'silence' arc from series 5.
Viewers heard a mysterious sinister voice announce that "silence will fall" in the final episodes of the most recent series.
Moffat told Doctor Who Confidential that the secret behind the voice will be revealed in the next series.
"What is that, who is that, who are the silence, what's coming?" he teased. "The whole point of the silence is next series.
"Also, River Song... who is she really? That's what we're going to find out next year."
Alex Kingston first appeared as the mysterious time-traveller River Song in the fourth series of the programme, in the Moffat-written 'Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead'.
Bookmaker William Hill has slashed the odds of Doctor Who star Matt Smith being axed from the role, after the show suffered a drop in ratings.
Odds on the actor leaving have been cut from 6/1 to 9/2. David Morrissey - who appeared as Jackson Lake in the 2008 Who Christmas special - is favourite to replace him at 4/1. James Corden - who made a guest appearance in the most recent series - has seen the biggest rise, with his odds changing from 100/1 to 25/1.
However, William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams backed Smith to return.
"The viewing figures were disappointing but Doctor Who was up against the World Cup and sunny skies, so we think Matt will survive the disappointment." he said.
Odds of 66/1 were also given on former Who star Christopher Eccleston returning to the series. Other actors in the bookmaker's list include Chiwetel Ejiofor at 5/1, James Nesbitt at 12/1 and Stephen Fry at 50/1.
