Davies promises fresher 'Dr Who' special

Russell T. Davies believes that the forthcoming Doctor Who special 'Planet Of The Dead' will serve as an "antidote" to recent adventures.

The departing showrunner told Doctor Who Magazine: "After the events of 'Journey's End' and 'The Next Doctor' I think it's time to get away from the past and have an adventure with lots of new elements. And lots of fun too!

"The next Special should be a nice antidote to Christmas, with a bit of sunshine if we're lucky. And with not one but two alien races that you've never seen before."
