Wednesday, 12 April 2006 - Reported by Shaun Lyon

A new twenty-second trailer debuted across BBC television this afternoon (Wednesday 12 April). The 'New Earth'-specific trailer includes a number of scenes that have not appeared in previous promotional packages or previews, including Cassandra commenting that "The Sisters are hiding something," and the Sisters of Plenitude themselves saying, "One of the patients is conscious - we can't have that." The voiceover tells us that the Doctor is back "in a hospital with a dark secret". The trailer has aired on BBC News 24, on BBC Two after Ready Steady Cook, and on BBC One after Newsround; it is apparently expected again before or after Davina (7pm-8pm, BBC One) this evening and is likely continue to appear regularly over the next two or three days.
David Tennant appeared on This Morning on ITV1 today, interviewed by stand-in co-host John Barrowman. No new ground was covered, although Tennant himself was bearded. Billie Piper's absence was attributed to illness, with Tennant commenting that the end of a long and intense job often brings on ill health and had for him too.
The promised appearance of "Dr Who guests" on GMTV earlier this morning did not materialise, despite GMTV's own website promoting it. Tennant and his father did however make their pre-recorded appearance on Ready, Steady, Cook on BBC Two this afternoon, with Doctor Who showing a special flair for creating square oranges.
