Title:

Doctor Who - Human Nature & Family of Blood (imdb)

Year:

2007

Character:

Tim Latimer

Summary:

The year is 1913, World War I is looming, and Martha and the Doctor find themselves in a boys boarding school where things are far from ordinary. The Doctor decides to apply for work at the boarding school to enable him to investigate the strange goings on.

Info:

A 2 part series written by Paul Cornell. The 2 episodes will be #8 and #9 from the 3rd series of the revived Doctor Who and will air on 19th and 26th May 2007 respectively.

It has long been rumored that Cornell's two-parter is an adaptation of Human Nature, the novel he penned for Virgin Publishing as part of their "New Adventures" line; the casting information makes this seem almost certain as many of these characters (Joan, Tim, Hutchinson, Rocastle, Lucy) appear in that novel.*
