:''This section includes announced and surmised events in the future; dates, events, and titles are subject to change. This section may also include spoilers.''


* The [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|5th series]] of ''Doctor Who'' is scheduled for broadcast this year, consisting of 13 episodes with [[Steven Moffat]] taking over from [[Russell T Davies]] as executive producer, and [[Matt Smith]] taking over the role of the Doctor from [[David Tennant]]. Filming for the season began in July 2009, and is expected to carry over into 2010 per the precedent of previous seasons.
==== May - August ====
* Assuming it is renewed, production of Series 6 of ''Doctor Who'' will presumably begin in the second half of 2010, for broadcast in 2011.
[[File:AmySaysGoodbyeTBB.jpg|thumb|Newlywed Amy Pond enters the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Big Bang (TV story)}})]]
* Presumably the 2009 specials will receive DVD release in a box set in early 2010, after the broadcast of David Tennant's final special. However the announcement in May 2009 that [[DW]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'' and [[DW]]: ''[[The Next Doctor]]'' are to be released on their own both in the UK and North America has called this into question.
On [[25 June]], the [[Eleventh Doctor]] returned to [[Amy Pond]]'s house two years after the incident with the [[Atraxi]] and [[Prisoner Zero]] from [[2008]] and invited her to travel with him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Eleventh Hour (TV story)}}) They left together, and returned at 11:55 PM, after escaping from the wreckage of the ''[[Byzantium (spacecraft)|Byzantium]]''. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Flesh and Stone (TV story)}})
* Broadcast of the first season of the spin-off series ''[[K-9 (TV series)|K-9]]'' is expected to continue into 2010 in its country of production, Australia. Broadcast plans for elsewhere in the world have yet to be announced.
* [[BBC America]] is expected to broadcast the final three [[David Tennant]] specials at some point after their UK showing, meaning likely early 2010.[http://www.gallifreyone.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?id=EkuFulFVZlcTGqbxEg&tmpl=newsrss&style=feedstyle]


====Early 2010====

([[TV]]: {{cs|The Big Bang (TV story)}})
* According to media reports in October 2008, the final "gap year" special episode of ''Doctor Who'' may not be broadcast until early 2010, contradicting earlier reports that they would all air in 2009. This final special, whenever it airs, will be the last under the watch of producers [[Russell T Davies]] and [[Julie Gardner]] and the last to feature [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]]; it is not yet known whether the actor chosen to play the Eleventh Doctor, [[Matt Smith]] will appear in the special as well.
* In March 2009 it was learned via a [[Russell T Davies]] interview in ''SFX Magazine'' that the final three specials of the [[2009 specials|gap year]] would air around "Christmas/late 2009".[http://scifipulse.net/?p=6378] As the exact airdates have yet to be announced as of August 2009, a New Year's Day broadcast is possible for the final special, entitled [[DW]]: ''[[The End of Time]]''.

Huxley took Jo to the Celestial Omnibus and introduced her to Iris. Iris and Jo decided to pilot the omnibus to [[UNIT HQ]] in the [[1970s]] to prove Huxley wrong.

Though the ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' television stories ''[[Fragments (TV story)|Fragments]]'' and ''[[Exit Wounds (TV story)|Exit Wounds]]'' have an apparent [[2008]] setting going by [[Jack Harkness]]'s dialogue in ''Exit Wounds'', this is complicated by mentions of [[Owen Harper]]'s early employment with [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] from both of these stories. While ''Exit Wounds'' explicitly states that [[Toshiko Sato]]'s examination of the [[space pig]] from the ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]'' television story {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, a story set [[2006|a year after 2005]], happened on Owen's second week, a caption in ''Fragments'' places Owen's recruitment four years before those stories. This appears to put ''Fragments'' and ''Exit Wounds'' in 2010 instead.

Behind the scenes

In a sketch on The Lenny Henry Show, a version of the Seventh Doctor played by Lenny Henry and Peri Brown visited London in 2010 to find that Cybermen led by Thatchos had taken over Britain's workforce.

In the initial pitch for what would become TV: Dalek, entitled Return of the Daleks, writer Russell T Davies set the story in Utah in 2010. While the location would remain unchanged in the final version by Robert Shearman, the time would be advanced by two years to 2012, seven years ahead of its 2005 premiere.[1]

Though the Torchwood television stories Fragments and Exit Wounds have an apparent 2008 setting going by Jack Harkness's dialogue in Exit Wounds, this is complicated by mentions of Owen Harper's early employment with Torchwood from both of these stories. While Exit Wounds explicitly states that Toshiko Sato's examination of the space pig from the Doctor Who television story Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], a story set a year after 2005, happened on Owen's second week, a caption in Fragments places Owen's recruitment four years before those stories. This appears to put Fragments and Exit Wounds in 2010 instead.
