Old friends and old villians returning to Who

The BBC rolled out a brand new trailer to tease the 4th season of Dr Who and it was filled with familar faces and teased a very familar villian. They include Martha, Capt. Jack, Sarah Jane, Mickey, Jackie, Rose, and Harriet Jones.
Who they'll be fighting is still a mystery, but the person who might be the main villain was shown partly hidden in shadow. The villain had the bottom half of a Dalek, while its top half looked like it could be human. This almost comfirms the rumor of Julian Bleach playing the evil dalek creator returning to plague the Doctor and his companions once again. The return of Davros has been teased every year since the return of the series and perhaps this year may be the payoff.
David Tennant, who finished filming the series last week, told CBBC Newsround: "It's been great to have a lot of old friends back. We had a really good time."
The team behind the Doctor Who show will be hoping that the return of popular characters like Rose and Sarah Jane will mean that millions of viewers will keep tuning in.
Tennant added that he thought the storylines in this series would also be an important factor.
"Hopefully the stories are still interesting and exciting and different and unexpected," he said. "I can't wait for people to see it."
The new series of Doctor Who start this Saturday at 6.20pm on BBC One.

While I really enjoy the return of old friends like Sarah Jane, Rose and Capt. Jack, I think the story-lines in this new incarnation stand very well on their own. I heard they're also bringing back the Peter Davison Doctor.

There's no need to force things ... of course, I wouldn't mind if they also brought back Ace, Leela, and both Romanas ...
