Also, as the BFI nears the end of its year long celebration of Doctor Who
Which year long celebration?
23 October 2013 at 18:38 #19147Anonymous @@jimthefish – re your comment 19046 –
one has to wonder whether they would build a new TARDIS console just for the sake of a trailer. That must surely be going to be seen somewhere else too?
I have this from @htpbdet:
I wonder if this trailer is actually part of the pre-titles sequence for the 50th special. I think it is too much effort for something that will not be used in the actual programme.
23 October 2013 at 18:43 #19151@Shazzbot @jimthefish In the description of my cinema you do see pictures of the trailer with the label “first impressions of the movie”. Nevertheless @nick thinks it’s just misleading marketing.
23 October 2013 at 18:50 #19154Anonymous @@shazzbot and @bluesqueakpip — re. consoles. Well, at my guess that must mean that they have a full set of TARDIS consoles (as the Davison/Baker/McCoy one is still in existence and the McGann one was saved by an eagle-eyed American fan, I believe) spanning the entire history of the series so maybe we’re going to get some kind of chrono-tour through the TARDIS…
23 October 2013 at 19:26 #19156@jimthefish – The console in the 50 yrs teaser is (as you mentioned) virtually the 4th Dr’s. It seems to be the one that’s in the ‘crystal ball’ which begs the question:
‘If it’s a new creation, why make it like no. 4’s, to be shown with Dr 3 (Unless that Pertwee/Delgado one’s supposed to be the Master’s TARDIS)?’
As for the 8th’s console, you’re right. This guy bought it:
For those who are unaware of the various different TARDIS ‘desktops’:

Having a replica of all the consoles could reflect something needed for the 50th or Chrismas show as Jim suggests or it could just be part of the sets they use for the various events that are now held. If for example, the theme was Doctor past and present, these sets plus other props (original or remade) and (with a little help from Madame Tussauds) the odd Doctor would look pretty good.

The trailer could certainly be used instead of the opening titles (at about 40 seconds – if you remove the Matt Smith and end titles – is it long enough though). My guess is that it (and others probably – perhaps a new one for the Christmas show) will be shown in the Cinemas prior to 50th episode in nice 3D and super high resolution…
Cheers

(Professor) Brian Cox – on the box…
24 October 2013 at 19:17 #19231They have added North American locations to the map of where to view the 50th in 3D cinemas:
http://www.doctorwho.tv/watch-the-day-of-the-doctor/
And it turns out that they are to screen it at my local in the wilds of Ontario! Hurrah!
It would have been good to see it in London, but Mrs Blenkinsop gently reminded me that the blenkinsop piggy bank is not as full as it once was (could it be all those DVDs and the imported Australian shiraz?)
Now to decide on the most appropriate attire for the screening on a cold Ontario November evening…
As a Yeti, perhaps…?
24 October 2013 at 20:14 #19233I have a fixed screening time. It’s 20:30 in Germany so it will be 19:30 in the UK for example.
24 October 2013 at 21:32 #19237There is a lot of Dr Who action in Dundee (Scotland) this weekend. As part of the Dundee Comics Conference.
Saturday will feature some special guests including legendary Dr Who writer Steve Parkhouse (Voyager) & current Who artist Dan McDaid.
There will be a presentation by storyboard artist Andrew Wildman on a sequence from TBOSJ – ‘Hurtling to disaster with Doctor Who’ (£5.50 charge). You must be at least 8 years old!
Sunday will host Parkhouse & McDaid, along with legendary Who artist John Ridgway (Voyager), former Who artist Simon Furman & a few other guests from other sci fi comics – esp. 2000AD (£15 charge).
I will be attending on the Saturday (I’ll be the 40 year old bloke surrounded by 8 year olds!) but I’m not sure about the Sunday.

24 October 2013 at 21:49 #19240@blenkinsopthebrave That’s great news! everyone who has contributed to these boards on any regular basis will be united in spirit (and on @phaseshift‘s blog) on 23rd. Yeeha!
@wolfweed – That looks a great weekend coming up in Dundee. (For some reason I always thought you were US-based). Have fun. (Are you involved in organising or just attending?)
24 October 2013 at 21:56 #1924224 October 2013 at 22:34 #19246Did you catch the comic bit at the Edin Book Festival this year? They made quite an effort, with lots of good people there. Good for Dundee (home of DC Thompson amongst other things 🙂 )
24 October 2013 at 23:16 #19256@scaryb – No – I didn’t catch that. Sounds very interesting.
I’ve hung out in the Beano script dept. and it is the most desolate atmosphere on Earth. (The writers have probably taken a vow of silence so that they can think of new stories every week…)

25 October 2013 at 23:37 #19338Huge thanks as ever to our DWF News Bulletin Service (tomorrow’s news brought to us today 😉 )
Belated response to your link to Kasterborous article about Ian Levine. That is one helluva climbdown and apology (from the man who leaked the news about Matt’s departure). And quite a tale about Philip Morris as well – including being kidnapped and held hostage. Mark Gatiss is going to have some follow-up to the Adventures in Space & Time doc.
Jings, crivvens, help maboab!

That’s what I said when they released the first photos (with the 3 of them in the TARDIS). With all the excitement about Capaldi being the next Doctor, poor John Hurt’s slipped down the consciousness levels a bit. (Nice link btw)
But… JOHN HURT – possibly the best screen character actor of his generation – IS PLAYING A DOCTOR!!!!!!

Many happy returns to the magnificent Matt Smith!
28 October 2013 at 16:48 #19470Does anyone know if there’s the possibility to watch the 50th anniversary episode on the web, or something like that?
Because I don’t think here in Italy there’ll be some sort of celebration, definitely not on the tv. And I’m so sad about that. 🙁
28 October 2013 at 17:15 #19472@debs – some people are saying that it will be broadcast on Rai4

29 October 2013 at 07:29 #19506Anonymous @@phaseshift – the Independent is reporting that Mark Gatiss’s Adventures in Time and Space will be airing ‘in the week before the 50th anniversary special‘. They credit this to a BBC announcement but I couldn’t find anything on the BBC DW site, so I’m not sure if you want to update your Big 50 blog just yet …
A drama about the making of the first Doctor Who series is due to air in the week before the 50th anniversary episode, the BBC has confirmed.

Saturday 16th November at 6pm, and then subsequent nights, will see Radio 4 Extra broadcasting “Doctor Who and the Daleks”. AudioGos reading of the first Doctor Who book written by David Whittaker. It features his reinterpretation of the meeting of Ian, Barbera and the Doctor, and is read by the original Ian, William Russel. Great timing that, as we did a blog recently on the Target novels.

I used to have Doctor Who and the Daleks (now lost in the mists of time, after many house moves). It was the only one I owned (got a few more out the library) but I read it cover to cover till it disintegrated. Came across a copy for sale on ebay recently (starting at £14!) – the cover pic jumped out at me like a very old friend. (You’re right when you complimented them on those early covers)
30 October 2013 at 19:03 #19596Thanks, @scaryb, but the Radio 4 extra news gets better. That one is complete on the Saturday, and there is a new adventure each night that week with some full cast Big Finish stuff as well. The schedule is:
Sat 16th Nov: AudioGo “Doctor Who and the Daleks”
Sun 17th Nov: Protect and Survive. The Seventh Doctor with old companion Ace and audio companion Hex travel to the eighties. Full cast.
Mon 18th Nov: Fanfare for the Common Men. The Fifth Doctor and Nyssa venture to the sixties in a tale of thwarted history. Also features long time fan Mitch Benn. Full Cast.
Tues 19th Nov: Thousand Tiny Wings More Sylvester McCoy as he confronts and avian group intelligence. Full Cast.
Wed 20th Nov: Farewell Great Macedon. William Russel and Carol Ann Ford in a lost tale as the original TARDIS crew meet Alexander the Great.
Thur 21st Nov: Human Resources. Another chance to hear this well regarded tale featuring Paul McGann and Sheridan Smith. Full Cast.

Doctor Who fans exist for the minutiae. They’ll complain about everything. They’ll probably complain about Verity Lambert’s shoes.
I simply now MUST see Jessica Raine’s shoes. I’m sure they’ll be a major clue to the 50th. 😆
