This might be borderline promotion (sorry if this is inapropriate) but you might like this clock for android.
It’s loosly based on the design of Gallifreyan writing on the crib of the doctor.

6 November 2013 at 23:00 #20108I’m not sure where to post videos – it is kind of creativity? But also sums up some part of Doctor Who or underlines a certain part?
Is this a good place to post them @craig ? Is there a better place? I don’t want to annoy people with videos where they do not expect them. But I do feel they are a special category. Should I hyperlink them so it dosen’t slow down browsers?
Does the rest of you spend more time on pictures?
Anyway here is the video I wanted to share. It is related to the Time War.

It was all innocuous stuff too. I wonder who actually decides what gets used or not?

If that doesn’t stop the emails let me know and I’ll look into it further.

I can help with any notifications:
Go to your profile (your username at the top right – it should say ‘Howdy, engagedrwho’.

You should be in the Profile tab. Click on Settings.
DO NOT press ‘Delete Account’ as accounts are not being re-opened until after the 23rd. Wait for @craig to sort things out. Instead, press ‘Notifications’.Once in ‘Notifications’ set all the ‘activity’ buttons to ‘no’. You can also set any PM’s to ‘no’ as well, and just check them on the Web.

This isn’t the Crystal PalaceTHE DOCTOR
No, right, yes this isn’t, must have flown off course, but where have we landed, looks like modernist earth interior, I’d say 1950’s in construction, seems like waiting room or reception, maybe for a hospital or factory.RIVER SONG
Or a television studio (nods to a sign saying “BBC Television Centre”)Just then David Tennant walks in though the door, goes to the reception
DAVID TENNANT

Ok, ok, come on river, lets park it in the car park for nowThe Doctor and River Song both open the tardis and the door shuts behind them
David watches as they and shakes head; he assumes they will walk out in a few minutes feeling silly
The tardis dematerialise
As it does David’s jaw drops
He looks in shock at where the tardis had been for few moments and then turns to receptionist and says
DAVID TENNANT
Excuse me; did that blue box just dematiarallise?RECEPTIONIST
Urr, yeahOn hearing the answer, he stares for a moment at where the tardis had been again, first with terror then confusion then amazement and finally pure joy before exclaiming
DAVID TENNANT

YesRIVER SONG
What is he?THE DOCTOR
Kullarthians, they’re nicknamed ego snares and idea smith’s, they gain substance by spreading ideas.DAVID TENNANT
Gain substance with ideas?THE DOCTOR
Yes they spread rumours, sway opinion, the mind is a powerful force the most powerful in the universe. They have an ability to feed on that and feed it into the people they influenceDAVID TENNANT
So why become head of the BBC?THE DOCTOR
ControlDAVID TENNANT
So why the BBC? I jestTHE DOCTOR
So you’re controlling the BBC, stopping programmes being made that inspire, but why, what influence could you possibly have on the world controlling just one channel.THE DOCTOR

100 what?THE DOCTOR
Kullarthian battle cruisers each crewed by 10 thousand Kullarthian warriors, but from that distance it would take a hundred years to get to Earth.CONTROLLER
Just enough timeTHE DOCTOR
Of courseRIVER SONG
What is it?THE DOCTOR
He’s suppressing this society for invasion. All the thinkers, the dreamers, the ideas people are being encouraged to make money not develop ideas and dare to dream and he’s using television to suppress society.DAVID TENNANT
But why?THE DOCTOR
Don’t you understand it’s the dreamers that are behind all human developments you kill off the dreamers, humanity stagnates, they don’t develop, and they’re ripe for the picking.CONTROLLER
Exactly, well now you know my plans I can’t possibly let you leave this room aliveThe alien raises his hand and a bolt or energy starts to form in his hand
RIVER SONG
Doctor!!The Controller staggers and freezes on hearing the name

Then you’re his opposing force, a manifested idea, a real person turned into an idea.THE DOCTOR

YesTHE DOCTOR
Well that’s all very well but we need to spread the idea, (at the controller who is now on his knees) earth is not for taking.CONTROLLER
You can’t stop itTHE DOCTOR
So your not even going to give up now, well I have to stop you, somehowDAVID TENNANT
(Looks at his clock) the Special, of course, Doctor, I think know I exactly how to defeat has plan.THE DOCTOR
And how would that be?DAVID TENNANT
Right now there’s a live special being filmed in studio 7 to commemorate the last Doctor Who and the 50th anniversary. It’s being broadcast throughout the world on all BBC network channels to a possible billion viewers, that’s a way to spread an ideaTHE DOCTOR
Brilliant!DAVID TENNANT
Hey, I say thatTHE DOCTOR
Ok lets go, River you watch him, I think it’s time for my close upThe Doctor run out of the room leaving River Song to watch the controller
9 INT TV STUDIOS
Studio set with audience. The set space is adorned with past Doctor Who props including the tardis. In the centre of the stage is a large screen with “Goodbye Doctor Who” on it. Below that sat on stylish chairs, Steven Moffat and a host of behind the scene people from Doctor Who past.
There is an air of akwardnees in the studio
Richard Bacon is stood with a mike taking questions from the audience.
STEVEN MOFFAT
Well it has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of it and so sad to see it end, but things move on, but It’s worth remembering this isn’t the first time the show’s been cancelled so you never know what the future may bring.Richard Bacon nods
RICHARD BACON
Indeed, do we have any other questions?Richard Bacon runs up the stairs and points his mike at a young woman who is eagerly raising her hand
RICHARD BACON
YesFEMALE AUDIENCE MEMBER
So how come none of the former Doctors could make it tonight?RICHARD BACON
Good questionSTEVEN MOFFAT
Yes, well, they were due to be here tonight, but as you may know actors schedules can be very busy, I’m sure they’ll be sad they missed the show.Awkward silence Steven Moffat smiles
Richard Bacon touches his ear piece
RICHARD BACON
So we’re nearly at the end of the show but before we do we have an exclusive clip from tomorrows final ever episode of Doctor Who, Mr Moffat would you like to introduce itSTEVEN MOFFAT
Indeed, well when I realised I had to end the show I thought I should do it and a big epic way so this is the Doctors big dilemmaRICHARD BACON
Roll the tapeCuts to
We see a close up of the Doctors hand pressing eject on a video player and a tape out pops with “the Doctor death scene” written on in biroThe screen in the centre of the set flashes up to reveal the Doctor in the director’s gallery
THE DOCTOR
Hello I’m the Doctor, the real Doctor, now rumours about my untimely death have been greatly exaggerated. I’m here as I’ve always been watching and listening to you lovely people of planet earth, and I’m a little concerned of late, you seemed to be discouraged from dreaming, now that’s a terrible idea. Dream your dreams, innovate, dare to be different, that’s what you’re all so very good at, especially you children with your big head of imagination, don’t worry about that boring grown up money stuff. You can take on anything the universe has to offer if you just keep dreaming the dream. Anyway I’m just waffling now so I must stop, but remember your potential and aspire to dream, that is all.He flashes his sonic screwdriver and the picture breaks up and turns to static and then the title screen fades back
Audience stands and gives rapturous applause
We see the alien controller scream out before losing mass and disintegrating and fading into the air.
River on seeing the alien is no more, runs out of the room
RICHARD BACON
(Slightly confused) Well, umm, that’s all we have time for, goodbye.Credits roll on screen on set
A phone rings with the Doctor Who theme tune ring tone, it’s Steven Moffat, he answers it
STEVEN MOFFAT
Hello?10 INT RECEPTION BBC TELEVISION CENTRE
Matt Smith is on the phone as he comes to the revolving door
MATT SMITH
I know I know, yeah, yeah in just there nowMatt Smith enters the revolving door, as he does the Doctor runs into other side, they look at each other Matt Smith is completely in awe open mouth at the sight of the doppelganger in Doctor Who clothes, Matt tries to push but the Doctor jams the door for a moment before pushing all the way round and running out to the tardis.
David Tennant follows the doctor, as he runs past a bewildered Matt Smith he mouth the words “I know” at Matt Smith.
VOICE ON PHONE
Hello? Hello?MATT SMITH
Sorry, got to go (says absent mindedly and hangs up)Just then Steven Moffat enters from inside the main building a jubilant smile on face.
STEVEN MOFFAT
Matt, I don’t know what you think you where doing back there, (says angrily) but it worked (grins)MATT SMITH
Wha, what (still bewildered)STEVEN MOFFAT
Apparently the new controller has gone missing, his PA called to say he’d quit and run off to Rio to start a new life as drag queen.MATT SMITH
Really? (Confused)STEVEN MOFFAT
Yes, really, just got a call from the new acting controller of the BBC, she told me it all, and she’s decided to make a u-turn on the whole Doctor Who cancellation business.MATT SMITH
But what about the last episode? The epic death scene?STEVEN MOFFAT
Ough I think we’ll mothball that episode, the Doctor will live to fight another day, but what’s more important is we have our old job back, and we’ll have plenty of work ahead of us.11 INT THE TARDIS
River Song is stood at the console
The Doctor enters the tardis
THE DOCTOR
I told you to stay and watch himRIVER SONG
He died and disappeared. There wasn’t anyone to watch, beside would you have come back for me?THE DOCTOR
Well, no, but that’s not the pointDavid Tennant enters the tardis they both look around
DAVID TENNANT
So, are you going off to stop the invading ships now?THE DOCTOR
I don’t have to, as long the show stays on, and people keep dreaming, the invaders will be repelledDAVID TENNANT
Do you think your friend knew?THE DOCTOR

29 November 2013 at 08:39 #21971Some good stuff on Doctor Who and sci fi in general. Great links to good articles and up to date info on Capaldi and the upcoming episodes of Doctor Who.
“I’m the Doctor. I’m a Time Lord. I’m from the planet Gallifrey in the Constellation of Kasterborous. I’m 903 years old and I’m the man who is gonna save your lives and all 6 billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?”
29 November 2013 at 19:24 #22000Apologies for the length of this, had a brain vomit at work today and had to get this out:
A survey of peculiar relics of the so-called “Time War”, by William F Kaplan-Singhala, Professor of Applied Xenoarchaeology, University College of New London. First published in Granta! Magazine, 45 April 2,004,234 CE
Among some of the less learned peoples in our part of the galaxy, there has long persisted a myth that there was a great and hideous war. This war is said to have taken place, not in the distant past, nor to be an eschatological end game in the distant future, but to have once been occurring at all times and in all places, and then, suddenly and simply, to have not been occurring.
Science, of course, sees this for the rude and confusing superstition that it is; however it cannot be denied that there are, in a few places, strange artefacts which raise questions regarding the oft-repeated stability of the temporal fabric of reality.
In the Arc system, reports from the early days of exploration there, some 100,000 years before present, state that what is now the second sun in that binary system was previously a sort of horrific and fascinating curio for passing travellers described as a world or satellite made entirely of human bodies, and that on closer examination this world was made of copies of the same few bodies, and was growing. In its centre was some kind of fearsome machine, surrounded by a wall of blue light from which men would appear, run towards the machine, only to be slain but then spring again from the wall of blue, stepping over their own corpses in some ghastly Sisyphean pantomime. Later reports state that this object had collapsed under its own weight, and become the small star that we see today.
In the intergalactic space just beyond our galaxy there is a place where some kind of large, saucer shaped vessel is continuously exploding. I have seen video of this, and the explosion does not appear to be looped within the duration of the recording, but appears to occur without progression – the breakup and destruction of the vessel never progresses, not does it regress. My source assures me that he spent many days observing this phenomenon and his experience was the same. The vessel is broadcasting audio, which appears to reach out at full strength to about three thousand kilometres, where reception is suddenly impossible with no apparent prior weakening of signal. I was provided also with a recording of this audio, and it consists of a sort of garbled mess of voices, but not the voices of men. They are the clamour of some multitude of robotic abominations. Like the explosion, they continue eternally and without repetition.
On Summer-Was-A-Butterfly, a predominantly gaseous planet, the indigenous organisms are a sort of floating aggregate of polyps supported by gaseous sacs. These organisms, although not able to communicate with us, have a fairly highly organised society. I have personally observed what are believed to be their religious practices. These include propelling each other through a certain region in their atmosphere whereupon they disappear for a period of time, and then return glowing and flashing with many vivid colours. I took a small craft through this same procedure and was astonished to find myself seemingly in another place, travelling as if along a tight, glass tube. Outside of this, although obscured by the blur of the “glass”, I could see somewhere was burning and that great flames stretched all around me, seemingly static and unmoving. This journey lasted for approximately two hours before I re-entered the atmosphere of Summer-Was-A-Butterfly. I am afraid to report that I did not noticeably glow subsequent to this experience.
There are hundreds of reports of such places, not limited to the grand, gruesome examples we have already discussed. Out on one of the far spiral arms there is apparently a world where the inhabitants insist it is always a Tuesday. There is a large hole in the ground on Quant which makes food go bad more quickly (humorously, they call it “The Defridgerator”). Then there’s the box. It is not an artefact that has ever been discovered as far as I can tell, but a myth that exists on many worlds. A blue box that comes when things are worst and when desperation aches in people’s hearts. Many of the digs I have attended have revealed evidence of it: pictograms chiselled on temple walls, illustrations in manuscripts. Stranger still, a substantial minority make reference to a man, naming him as the only survivor of the impossible time war. They call him a saviour, a hero, but most frequently (and rather bafflingly) a doctor.
At this point in time, our knowledge of these phenomena and artefacts is too small to do anything other than speculate. Science at present completely denies the possibility of a “Time War”, and many of our most eminent scientists have asserted that the examples I have given here are bunkum, fakery or simple misunderstandings of naturally occurrences. My own opinions and experiences are somewhat different although far from fully formed. I suspect, however, that we will learn a great deal more in the centuries to come and I look forward very much to being a part of that.

1 December 2013 at 14:32 #22097A funny comic I saw recently (it’s a number of panels so I didn’t embed it): http://www.funnyism.com/i/funnypics/82064 — ribs the fans a bit.
And there’s this gorgeous artist that I’ll be hitting up for some of my holiday gifts (her art can go as prints, on tote bags, mugs, etc). She’s so good that some of her pieces got officially licensed by the BBC. Official shop here.
More of the 50th Anniversary pieces here: a gorgeous TARDIS (that’s my fave), and one of each of the three Doctors featured in the Anniversary episode.
1 December 2013 at 15:06 #22104Links to both of those have been posted before, but worth repeating.
Alice X Zhang’s artwork is gorgeous, I really like her TARDIS one in particular.
1 December 2013 at 16:14 #221082 December 2013 at 16:16 #22137Anonymous @I seem to remember some discussion of 3D modelling shortly before the anniversary (perhaps by @fatmaninabox) and have been meaning to post this since then.
It was done as part of a course in 3D design I did a few years back. Dimensions are all wrong, it’s not a brilliant render and there are some major inaccuracies but thought some might be interested to see it anyway….

My modelling is on the backburner at the moment. Apart from RL having me by the short and curlies, I’ve been busy creating my own 50th Anniversary DVD ‘box set’ which comprises of TDoTD, FishDr, AAiSaT and all the other goodies we were treated to.
I’ve just finished inserting the ‘Proms:Encore’ performances into the main program. Now all I need to do is create the menus.
2 December 2013 at 18:48 #22143Cute was exactly my thought too!
Awww 🙂
(Lots of nicely different texturing too)
Can I nominate it for our December site avatar?
And well done FMIAB re DIY box-set. I managed to miss the FishDr – still trying to find online, after TV had massive fail over Red Button. I’m great with some tech things, and a complete klutz with others 🙁
2 December 2013 at 19:04 #22146@scaryb You can find the “FishDr” which is actually the “Five(ish) Doctors Reboot” on the Doctor Who BBC website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01m3kfy
It’s great! 🙂
2 December 2013 at 19:17 #22147@juniperfish Brilliant, thanks; I was only looking on iPlayer – which is suddenly working hard and downloading season 6, which I didn’t even know was current again. Which is nice, but not great for catching up on all the bits I missed in the scurry up to 23rd Nov. T’webs are mostly a big mystery to me. Life too. 😀
