My confirmed spilers from the BBC and the WHO TEAM..

*The BBC's Doctor Who website has announced that an animated Doctor Who cartoon is being produced, to air as part of Totally Doctor Who next year. David Tennant and Freema Agyeman will voice the Doctor and Martha in the animated story, and Anthony Head will play Baltazar, Scourge of the Galaxy (not Mr. Finch from "School Reunion"). Toby Longworth (who has played many roles for Big Finish Productions' line of audio dramas) will also appear.

The cartoon will have 13 parts, comprising a single story titled "Infinite Quest". Russell T Davies describes the story: "The Doctor and Martha follow a trail of clues across wild and wonderful alien worlds, to find the location of the legendary lost spaceship, the Infinite." The story is written by Alan Barnes and directed by Gary Russell.

*According to the new Dreamwatch website, Gardner confirms that Paul Cornell's story has links to his novel Human Nature, published as part of Virgin's New Adventures series in 1995. This confirms a long running debate in our spoilers forum.

In the novel, the Doctor gives up his Time Lord persona to experience life as a human teacher.

*One of Britain's best known actors, Sir Derek Jacobi, is to guest star in the forthcoming third series of Doctor Who

*According to the Daily Mirror, Jacobi will appear as a "good guy" called The Professor who helps the Doctor and Martha to save Earth and the human race

Just as long as the Britney Spears rumours are just rumours, I'll be happy!

By the way, the last rumour on your list of confirmed rumours isn't confirmed, as far as I know! The Daily Mirror is a less than credible source.
