Harriet Jones a Dalek?

Thursday, March 06, 2008

Either the newspapers are bored or there’s an extraordinary turn of events for Prime Minister Harriet Jones in the new series of Doctor Who.

Some of today’s newspaper are carrying an alleged spoiler for season 4 of Doctor Who – that Harriet Jones, played by Penelope Wilton – will be revealed as a Dalek. Or a Dalek will be revealed as being Harriet Jones, whichever way you want to look at it.

Harriet Jones was deposed by Harold Saxon, the Master, during the last series – and is possibly bearing a grudge against the Doctor for him undermining her office in The Christmas Invasion.

According to the Sun, we find that Jones is a Dalek when the casing of a Dalek is opened. Let’s hope that it’s more exciting than the Dalek Sec/Baber the Elephant hybrid from last year’s Daleks in Manhattan.

The Sun also goes on to (again) say that Davros will be back in season 4 and the Doctor Will be joined in the TARDIS by Donna, Rose, Sarah Jane and Martha. It’s a good job the TARDIS is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
