and Bruno Langley whilst not being gay is a gay pin up due to his potrayal of "a gay" in Dr Who and i guess this got him the part.
I meant "a Gay" in Coronation Street.

That looks like a cool place...
Anyway, Bad Wolf. It is in almost every episode (i can tell you where if you like) and it was almost a way of calling a time goddess into existence. (sorry if you don't understand, I'm rubbish at explaining.)
At the end of 'the parting of the ways', Rose looked into the heart of the TARDIS. Right then, she became a Time Goddess. She STOPPED being a time goddess, however, when she gave all of the golden light stuff (the Time Vortex) to the Doctor, by means of a snog.
Now 'Bad Wolf' was almost left there, as a sort of imprint, by none other than the TARDIS(!), who did it to sort of 'call the time goddess into existence', if you understand that. it's in every episode except, I think , The Empty Child. I'm not sure, I'll have to check later. But yeah, those particular words were there to, if you will, 'call Rose into existence'.
If you still don't get it, I can try to explain it fuller, but i'm really bad with explaining, so if you don't understand, it's my fault.
It can be explained simplier. When Rose looked into the heart of the tardis she gained an amount of the tardis' power. The bad wolf letters just happen to be near the tardis when she landed and with the power that she gained from looking into the heart of the tardis, she sent them back in time to the places that she and the doctor had visited so that the past version of her would have clues to get the tardis to take her to doctor and the dar'liks.
Ha ha! I've got it!
this is from the very trusted source, Wikipedia:
The explanation as to why the phrase Bad Wolf kept cropping up through the travels of the Doctor and his companions was revealed in the season finale, The Parting of the Ways. Rose had been sent back to the 21st century in the TARDIS for her safety, while in the 2002nd century the Doctor was on the Game Station facing off a Dalek invasion. Having tried unsuccessfully to pilot the TARDIS back to the distant future, Rose was almost resigned to remaining in her present when she noticed the words "Bad Wolf" written in six-foot high letters on a paved public area of the estate as well as in graffiti scrawled on nearby walls.[4] (In addition, but apparently unnoticed by Rose, the words "Bad Wolf" are also across a flyer that is taped to a window behind her head during the scene in which she, Jackie, and Mickey go to a cafe after her return to Earth.)
Rose deduced that the words were not a warning as they had assumed, but a reminder that she and the Doctor continued to be connected. She then managed to open the TARDIS console and absorb the power of the time vortex, giving herself almost unimaginable power over space and time, and being able to perceive all of it. Returning to the Game Station to rescue the Doctor, she took the name of the Badwolf Corporation, scattering the words "Bad Wolf" throughout history as a reminder to herself. This is an example of a predestination paradox.
In Doctor Who: The Shooting Scripts (2005), producer and chief writer Russell T. Davies notes that the origin of "Bad Wolf" started with a wish to see "the TARDIS being graffiti'd", with the words simply being made up. Once he had done so, however, he decided to tie it into the plan to make Rose into the "Time Goddess" at the end of the series, and started to insert references retroactively into the scripts. The design department noticed this, and without knowing what it meant, began to insert the phrase on various props as well.
Despite Rose's connection to Bad Wolf, not all Bad Wolf references occur within sight or earshot of her, such as the identification of van Statten's helicopter in Dalek (even though in Bad Wolf when Rose has flashbacks of earlier sightings of "Bad Wolf", this was included). Similarly, as noted above, there is one appearance of "Bad Wolf" that apparently goes unnoticed by Rose in "Parting of the Ways" (the poster in the cafe).
By the way, hasn't anyone else wondered what the Face of Boe's message is? I got this from Wikipedia as well:
"In New Earth, it is implied that the Doctor is part of the prophecy of the Face of Boe and referred to as "The Lonely God". Russell T. Davies has written that the Face's message is four words long. This may be connected to a passage from a prose piece written by Davies in the Doctor Who Annual 2006. The article describes a monument to the Time War on a distant planet, upon which, under an image of a lone survivor walking away, the message "You are not alone" has been scratched, perhaps indicating that the Doctor was not the sole Time Lord survivor of the conflict.
In an interview in DWM #374 Davies confirmed that the Face would say his message in season three, and that this was connected to the season finale."
And, you know, Captain jack appears in the series 3 finale! I wonder what he would think. The Doctor's different AND Rose is gone. Poor Jack! I wonder if there's a parallel Jack. Hey, maybe there's a parallel Doctor?!
I've just found this as well!
"When Rose calls her mother on her Doctor-modified Nokia 3200 mobile phone, Jackie asks her to put some money in the "lottery syndicate", which places the call (from Jackie's point of view) before the events in Rose. "
I didn't know that!
I also have info about the Christmas episode:
Radio 1 has reported that Billie Piper might appear in the episode "in one form or another".[2] This has been debunked by Davies. (pity...)
For legal reasons, the production team were forced to make obviously fake banknotes for a scene. The £10 notes feature the Doctor's face and the phrase "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of ten satsumas; no second chances, I'm that sort of a man".[9][10] The text is a reference to the Doctor's actions and dialogue near the end of The Christmas Invasion. There were also £20 notes featuring producer Phil Collinson. These had the phrase "There's no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes." printed on them, originally spoken by the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker.[9][11] All notes, and the cash machine, were labelled "London Credit Bank".
The Daily Mirror reported that Sarah Jane Smith and K-9 will appear in The Runaway Bride. The same report said that the special has a theme of "past, present and future" and described it as "a combination of A Christmas Carol and It's A Wonderful Life, set in London's West End — with scores of evil aliens."[13] This has not been confirmed by the BBC.

I heard that date as confirmed weeks ago 😛
And really, can you stop with the constant multiple posting? It gets a bit annoying.
Bloopers. they're so funny. I found a couple, has anyone else got any?
1. (New Earth) Despite the Doctor's mention that the elevators had been deactivated as a precaution during quarantine, an external shot of the building during this time clearly shows the elevators in motion.
2. (Aliens Of London) A poster announcing Rose's disappearance states that she has not been seen since March 6, 2005. However, the BBC-produced "official" UNIT website indicates that the climactic events of Rose happened on March 26. The same site also dates this episode at either May 26 or June 28, 2006. If June 28 is accepted, Boom Town (and also The Parting of the Ways) would have to take place in late December 2006 — the same week as The Christmas Invasion (dated to 2006 by the Guinevere One website). On the other hand, if only on-screen evidence is accepted, Aliens of London would take place in March 2006, Boom Town in September, and The Parting of the Ways later in the autumn or early winter.
3. The official police poster is the first reference to the Powell Estate on the television series. Rose is described as, "19 years old, 5 feet 4 inches in height, slim build with shoulder-length blonde hair." The photograph used is one of Billie Piper herself, rather than one of Piper playing Rose. Several other, home-made posters are seen on Jackie's table, including one with a banner headline saying "WHERE IS ROSE?".
4. When the ship crashes into the clock tower, both the numbers on the clock face and the text beneath are backwards. According to the DVD commentary, director Keith Boak altered his shots of the crash sequence but this was not related to the visual effects team, who had prepared according to the storyboarded version. As a result, the sequence was electronically flipped to make it conform to the spaceship's final descent pattern.
5. The clock also appears to keep working after the incident: the time reads roughly 10:55 when the spaceship strikes it, but reads roughly 6:10 when the clock is later seen on a news broadcast.
6. Dr Toshiko Sato, the government pathologist, will return in the upcoming Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood.
7. (World War three) Although statistically unlikely, two members of the Metropolitan Police unit in No. 10 that are heard talking have Welsh accents.
8. Using the date of the crash as given on the UNIT website and from the passage of time seen on-screen, the main events of this two-part story take place on June 28 and June 29, 2006. This means, of course, that both the UNIT website and Mickey's website are one year in the future.
9. (the Long Game) Rose's "superphone", which the Doctor modified to allow her to call back to her own time (c. 2005) in The End of the World appears to be intelligent enough to realise who is using it, as it allows Adam to call back to his own time period of 2012 as well as back to Earth without the need for an area code. (I noticed that!)
10. When Adam first calls back to the 21st century, the establishing shot for his parents' home uses the same house that Mickey was in front of when he was captured by the Nestene-animated dustbin in Rose.
11. Adam is the first on-screen companion in Doctor Who history to be evicted from the TARDIS for bad behaviour.
12. Adam's mother, though not given a name on screen or in the credits, is named Sandra.
13. (Father's Day) When time is damaged, one of the effects is that mobile telephones all start to receive the message, "Watson, come here, I need you," the first words ever spoken over a telephone by Alexander Graham Bell, calling his assistant Thomas A. Watson. However, according to a recording by Watson reminiscing about the event, the words were "Watson, come here, I want you."[1] The error was not present in Paul Cornell's original script, but crept in at some point during production.
14. A possible continuity error is that the baby Rose has blue eyes, the younger Rose has green eyes, but the adult Rose has brown eyes. However, it is not uncommon for a baby's eyes to change colour from blue (to green) to brown as the eyes develop melanin over time.
15. Though David Tennant speaks with a Scottish accent, he plays the Doctor with an Estuary/Cockney accent. According to producer Russell T. Davies, this was intended as a consequence of spending so much time with Rose. The Christmas Invasion would have alluded to this, but the line was cut.
16. In his first appearance in Rose, the Doctor looked in a mirror and commented on the size of his ears, suggesting that the regeneration may have happened shortly prior to the episode. However, the Ninth Doctor's appearances in old photographs, without being accompanied by Rose, may also suggest that he had been regenerated for some time.

Production on Series Three continues and there have been a couple of new casting reports. According to BBC News, "Former Coronation Street star Thelma Barlow is to star as a baddie in the next series of Doctor Who. Barlow, 77, who played timid Mavis Wilton in the ITV soap for 26 years, will star as Lady Thaw in an episode to be shown next year. The actress is also known for her role in BBC sitcom Dinnerladies."
The report also goes on to say that "The episode will also feature the League of Gentleman's Mark Gatiss, 39, as a scientist. Gatiss wrote two earlier episodes of Doctor Who." Gatiss, of course, wrote last year's "The Idiot's Lantern" and the previous series' "The Unquiet Dead," and is no stranger to being in front of the camera, being part of the successful troupe "The League of Gentlemen"._QUOTE
NOT MORE GATTIS!!!!!!

Unusual a bbc3 show getting the cover.
I still don't understand the Bad Wolf thing. I mean I can sort of understand that it's there as a reminder that Rose & The Doctor are connected, but they already know this don't they...So, isn't there any point in that? 😑
My question is how does it appear or is said by people? The lady in the Unquiet Dead mentioned it, in Cardiff something was translated to Bad Wolf, it's on the floor in giant letters, wrote on the TARDIS by a boy & the name at the Game Station with the Daleks & more!
Rose, as the Godess, said she was the one who scattered them across time, yet she didn't know what it ment when she kept coming across it.
Even if she didn't see the Bad Wolf on the ground when she was sent back or if they didn't show, couldn't she have go back inside the TARDIS & looked into the heart of it then travelled back? What made the words change everything?
Doctor Who is so wonderful & exciting, it's the best, but it's so confusing!
She didn't recognise them when she saw them because she hadnlt scattered them yet.
The thing is, the Bad Wolf thing is actually very very simple- simply an indication to Rose that she can and should go back to help the Doctor. The reason there is difficulty in understanding it is because people want it to be more than it is, which is in turn because the series hyped it so much. But RTD clearly says he was making it up as he went along, and really the hype was more to do with people guessing who the Bad Wolf was (it made the UK papers when it turned out to be Rose). In series, its effect is very simple, possibly even petty.
Little wonder about Mark Gattis, btw; he's a popular writer and many fans consider The Unquiet Dead to be the proper starting place of the series.
I know whereabouts in the episodes it appears:
1. this is very difficult, as no-one outright says it. but, the Nestene Consciousness,if you are looking really closely, does actually mouth it just after he (it?) sees the Tardis.
2. the Moxx of Balhoon says it vaguely in the background.
3. "The Big Bad Wolf" mentioned by Gwyneth when she sees in Rose's mind.
4 & 5. graffiti'd on the Tardis
6. "Bad Wolf one, descending" the helicopter
7. 'BadWolfTV' one of the idents on the tv's
8. graffiti'd on the posters when it goes round the corner to see Rose and the Doctor waiting for her father.
9 & 10. On Captain Jack'sbomb, in germen - 'Schlecter Wolf' (I think)
11. Blaidd Drwg bad Wolf in welsh.
12 & 13. That's pretty much all about it.
