BBC has released a mini episode prequel for the Day of the Doctor, which airs next week. This mini episode shows what happens at the end of the 8th Doctor’s life. Finally, Paul McGann is given an official role almost twenty years after the 1996 TV movie aired in the U.S. His Doctor was so…
I’ve been an avid Doctor Who fan since I was little. It’s the one show whose campines, acting, stories, and questionable special effects don’t really matter. So what if the music is over the top and the lines are delivered with the gravitas of a poodle? It doesn’t matter. It’s Doctor Who! Alasdair Wilkin’s essay…
The first Doctor Who episodes I saw featured Tom Baker (fourth Doctor) and his companion, Sarah Jane Smith, played by a very young Elisabeth Sladen. Many more Doctors and companions have followed in their shoes over the decades, but Sarah Jane was always a favourite. One of my favourite episodes from the new series of…
io9 had a feature article today on a spoof posted on b3ta.com featuring Doctor Hooey! An exploration of what if Doctor Who was filmed in Turkey on a budget of 27 pounds? b3ta.com is also going to be looking for people to play Daleks in part 2. As a companion to the above, here is…
Disjointed and slightly disappointing. I’ll write more later after I’ve rewatched the episode a few times. Love Wilf. He’s just awesome. David Tennant has been brilliant as the Doctor. I’m looking forward to seeing him in other shows. Not sure about Matt Smith. Sniff. *waves* Bye DT. We’ll miss you, 10th Doctor. Related Images:
I watched End of Time (part 1) with my parents on Saturday night after returning from watching Avatar in 3D. (If you haven’t seen that movie, it’s excellent.) We watched most of Waters of Mars before End of Time. Last time my parents saw any Doctor Who was when I lived at home and was…
Matt Smith was announced as the new Doctor today. Yup, I’ve never heard of him either. Even my British friends were scratching their heads and hitting the Internet to find out more information about him. The new Doctor was announced during a special episode of Doctor Who Confidential, which can be viewed in the UK…
According to the BBC, the new Doctor will be announced tomorrow. Who ever it is, will have to fill a huge role made popular by David Tennant’s portrayal. David Tennant’s Doctor has become one of my favourites, second only to Tom Baker. Here’s hoping the new one is as talented. Related Images:
If you haven’t seen this, it’s a classic sketch with David Tennant and Catherine Tate, just before she took on the role of Donna in Season 4. I found this video of the sketch on YouTube. Initially, Donna was a really annoying character. As the season progressed, she grew into a character who could match…
Someone had a lot of time on their hands and put it to good use this holiday season! The tree at right is the creation of x Plastic Neurospasta who posted picture on Flickr. Any fans of Doctor Who will instantly recognize the Dalek, complete with blue orbs and glowing eye. If you look carefully…
Saddness. Much sadness according to a BBC article published on October 29: David Tennant is to stand down as Doctor Who, after becoming one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the BBC science fiction show. read more | digg story Related Images:
(If you haven’t seen the episode, fair warning: here be spoilers.) The saddest thing about Journey’s End is the contrast between the Doctor having a TARDIS full of friends and family and the end scene where he is alone in the TARDIS. If you watch Confidential for this episode, the people at BBC say that…
My renegade Time Lord name is…Tau! (Best option out of The Cleaner, Hetamax, and The Totax, although the latter has some possibilities.) What is your renegade Time Lord name? Related Images:
Simon Jansen, of www.asciimation.co.nz, has built an incredible replica of a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space, Doctor Who‘s time machine), complete with a fold-out MAME console for playing retro arcade games. The TARDIS MAME console is obviously a work of love and art. The attention to detail is amazing. Me likey! While you…
Here be spoilers. Fair warning. Oh this is cool. If you didn’t see the last episode, don’t read this until you do. Waa! TARDIS in temporal prison with Rose, Doctor, Jack, and Donna. Completely useless TARDIS. Imprisoned in the TARDIS on their way to the Dalek Crucible. Heh. Daleks saying “Exterminate” in German while flying…
