After seven long months, Doctor Who returned to the airwaves in high style with “The Waters of Mars,” a topper of a story and one heck of a lead-in to the Doctor’s imminent demise and resurrection. The Three Who Rule were effusive in their praise of The Waters of Mars, though somewhat less so when the conversation came to the latest episodes of the Sarah Jane Adventures, which Chris (also known as “Curmudge-or”) succinctly labeled as “poop”. The trio even discussed how Steven somehow managed to get onto UK radio last week and participate in a conference call with David Tennant. Intellectual banter and relentless name-dropping ahoy!

Hi guys
“He will knock four times”, is that the quote?
If so, then why is it treated like such a mystery who the “he” is? We already know a villain who has a signature knock of four beats: The Master (at least from the new series era). All that da-da-da-da-(pause-pause)-da-da-da-da-(pause-pause) drumming, tapping, etc. as incidental music/mood/rhythm and The Master himself drumming it on the table after he’s just gassed his own cabinet of ministers.
About the “he will knock four times” line, David Tennant said in the commentary for Planet of the Dead that (and I’m partially paraphrasing this) “if you think you’ve figured it out, you haven’t”. So it seems too obvious for The Master to be the person knocking…doesn’t it? Please be too obvious…

What am I missing?

So where is the link so we can hear the David Tennant phone call show??
