Welcome!

Welcome to Tardis Point News. This blog is no longer running, as I started watching Parks and Recreation and am still mourning over the cancellation of Eureka. Don't stop watching Doctor Who though, which is and always will be the best TV show ever.

Tennant Finale Picture - Spoilers!

2 pictures have been released on io9. The 1st, contains quite huge spoilers that reveal that John Simm has returned, presumably as the Master again, and Timothy Dalton will appear as a Time Lord too. It's been rumoured that he played the Chancellor of the High Council of Time Lords. The next one is just some canisters/barrels. Nothing too spoilery. You can see the pictures
below.




I think the first picture could have been faked..
