This is the News thread for official news, which is usually text / images posted on the BBC’s site. If you do come across a spoiler somewhere else and want to post it, we have a Spoilers thread.
Please note that The Radio Times is growing increasingly spoilerish with their publication of episode plot details in advance of anything the BBC has officially released, so please think twice before you post in ‘News’ rather than ‘Spoilers’ something from the Radio Times.
Please see our Etiquette page for further information about how this site views spoilers.
(This is a continuation of the Doctor Who News (2) thread which was nearing its posting limit.)

13 February 2014 at 14:42 #25273@fatmaninabox – I just noticed it on twitter… I would so love to go to that… but I don’t think anyone else would want to go (well my sister, but she’s not good with travelling usually). 🙁 Also it would mean a pretty early start for me to get there and I’m not great with early starts. lol!

19 February 2014 at 11:38 #25453Dear Whovians!
I am writing to you to give my thoughts and to offer my suggestions about the science-fiction drama “Doctor Who”
An idea has been created and titled “A Wild Endeavour” and I believe it to be incredibly impressive. I would therefore wish for it to become a reality rather than a simple idea that is waved away by the producers of Doctor Who and the BBC. Details regarding A Wild Endeavour can be found on their website (http://www.awildendeavour.com/) and on their Twitter account (https://twitter.com/AWildEndeavour).
Other Whovians alongside myself also find the idea of A Wild Endeavour quite attractive and would love it if the original idea of it becoming a new Doctor Who spin-off series becomes a reality.
The problem that A Wild Endeavour is faced with, however, is that only a very small amount of people are aware of it and it also requires a great deal of funding at a short notice just to increase its chances of growing. Further details on how to support the cause can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/573935592/who-is-who-a-wild-endeavour-the-pilot-episode
You can also support A Wild Endeavour here too: https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/8960-doctor-who-a-wild-endeavour?locale=en
If you can in any way help promote A Wild Endeavour, you will receive the greatest gratitude from myself and many others. In my opinion, I think that A Wild Endeavour has the potential to be the next big Doctor Who spin-off series after the likes of “Torchwood” and “The Sarah Jane Adventures” With this in mind, the idea must be shared and promoted massively across the globe. Please help spread the word to all the Whovians around the world!
Thank you in advance and please do not hesitate to reply to me via e-mail, my Twitter account (https://twitter.com/ManeshMistry98) or contact A Wild Endeavour through their Twitter account.
Yours faithfully,
Manesh Mistry.

25 February 2014 at 02:59 #25745@fatmaninabox – Insomnia……!!!
Could Mr Pink be a Science teacher? (Isn’t Clara a History teacher?)
25 February 2014 at 03:17 #25747Thanks for that link @fatmaninabox. I am quite excited by that little snippet of news. I look forward to seeing more of Coal Hill and am keeping fingers crossed that Ian will make an appearance. I also suspect that they will be giving Clara a “love Interest” outside or only occasionally inside the Tardis and yes, it would be very like Moffat to have him as the science teacher and Clara as the history teacher.
Cheers
Janette

Now, we know that Moffat puts a lot of thought into character names, so … Danny Pink? What bonkers theories can y’all devise as to the meaning of that name? 😉 For me, it’s a lighter shade of red, and Clara had a lot of red markers in her episodes … that’s all I can come up with on short notice.
FMIAB, your link says he was in Gavin & Stacey – was he the one of Gavin’s crew who got it on with the red-headed Welsh girl (twice!) ?
PS Hullo Janette! How are things down your way?
25 February 2014 at 09:28 #25753Reservoir Dogs reference, I’d think. There was a reference to RD in Moffat’s Coupling, as well.
If he makes a joke about wishing his name was Mr Purple, we’ll know it’s a Reservoir Dogs joke.
25 February 2014 at 10:04 #25755@wolfweed – I’m pretty sure Clara outed herself as an English teacher – under the influence of the truth field at Christmas.
25 February 2014 at 13:04 #25758@bluesqueakpip – You’re absolutely right. Clara is an English teacher. (Damned insomnia!)
Trying to clutch at yet more desperate straws, I discovered that Daniel Pink is a real person. He’s the author of 5 books about business, work, and management…

Daniel Pink is an anagram of:
Leap in kind…….
Perhaps he’s a PE teacher…

25 February 2014 at 19:30 #25768Anonymous @@bluesqueakpip – regarding your previous comment on the Doctor Who News thread, this might not (!) have been your intention with the Reservoir Dogs ‘Mister Pink’ reference.
I feel we are all being mis-directed with the ‘Mister Pink’ trope. I’m still of the opinion that it’s more than a Reservoir Dogs reference. Could Moffat introduce a character into Doctor Who whose name is solely a one-note joke? (Unless he’s a one-episode joke?) How could that be, with Danny being another Cole Hill School teacher, and all the Unearthly Child tropes inherent therein?
I don’t think Moffat is designing the Doctor Who-niverse post the 50th anniversary with one-note jokes, neither with singular pop-culture references nor with one-note character-naming jokes.
So … why, I ask again, Danny Pink?

26 February 2014 at 13:39 #25785Anonymous @I don’t know why but when I heard that the new character was called Daniel Pink, I immediately thought of Danny Blue (Marc Warren – Elton in Love & Monsters) from Hustle. Maybe Mr Pink is a bit of a con-artist posing as a teacher?
