Writer Matt Jones also wrote, as Matthew Jones, the Virgin New Adventures novel Bad Therapy, featuring the Seventh Doctor and Chris Cwej. He was script editor on Russell T. Davies's Channel 4 series, Queer as Folk. According to Doctor Who Magazine #366, The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit will be released along with Love & Monsters as a "vanilla" DVD. According to The Guardian on March 30, 2006, this episode is set on a "spaceship adrift at the edge of a black hole." [1] In an interview with SFX magazine (#142), Russell T. Davies said that the characters in this story are "pioneers in a dangerous situation, like the Wild West." The news item on the official BBC website confirming Will Thorp as playing Toby used the title The Satan Pit to refer to the two-parter as a whole. Whether or not this means he will only be in the second episode of the two-parter is unknown. [2] At the press launch for the 2006 season of Doctor Who, David Tennant said, "Basically they find a 'darkness' which doesn't seem to have an explanation and even The Doctor is stumped by what is under the planet." Billie Piper also said, "The Ood are in this one."[1] Press coverage described the Ood as "squid-like aliens".[2] Russell T. Davies and director James Strong have described this episode as "Just about as tense and scary as Doctor Who can get". [edit] References ↑ "David Tennant and Billie Piper Q&A", BBC, 2006-03-28.
