Ah Timmin. In the world of business, it’s always the quiet ones you have to watch out for. For all the bluster by Morgus at her “betrayal”, he was a dog-eat-dog kind of guy at heart. I’m sure he would have grown […]

Less Doctor Who, more Doctor “Why Don’t You?” (one for fans of a certain age there).

There are numerous ways of doing this, but most rely on a little bit of electronics. I’ll […]

@scaryB

Good to see you back. Hope you had/have fun catching up.

First time I saw Neil Gaiman was at a signing for Good Omens in Leeds with Terry Pratchett. At that time no-one except comic book fans seemed […]

I don’t know. You mention you wouldn’t mind Charlie Higson as a wild card writer, and then Armando Iannucci throws his hat into the ring, declaring he’d love to write for old mucker Peter Capaldi in the series. […]

I’m really intrigued by the choice of the writer for the Ninth Doctor celebratory novella. It’s Charlie Higson (of Fast Show fame) and successful writer of the Young James Bond books and The Enemy series. The […]

Who told you being strapped in was one of my hobbies!?

As for Terror of the Autons, as well as the Third Doctor, Autons and ROGER DELGADO, you also have the delights of seeing the Brig in […]

Before I nip to bed, Phelim O Neil had an interesting column on the Guardian in the week (missed it) on music in TV, with shows who picked a good choon for a scene. It largely centered on the use of “Games without […]

You do have to love Marks entire “I KNOW who could play an older me… my dad”, because he knew his dad regretted having to turn down a role in the Pertwee era due to other commitments (his dad […]

@JackHarkness

Looking at it, if you’re going for accuracy it does seem a little short and a little dark. Tweed is a bugger, because good tweeds aren’t that cheap anyway (but last for decades).

Sci-fi […]

The Confidential for the Impossible Astronaut. SMs comments that surely as a Time Traveller the Doctor knows his own grave is out there takes on a new meaning after “Name of the Doctor” and possibly shows ideas […]

Good/Bad old Morgus. After offing the President, the order of business is:

1. Could have been worse. Could have been me.
2. Can we have the elevator maintenance man shot?

The recapture of Peri seems really […]

Ah – the start of series 6, and a timey wimey murder mystery with the Doctor as the apparent victim. So much set up here, and I still love the idea of the Silence. The casual nature of Joy’s dispatch after the […]

@wolfweed

Thanks for that. It can be surprising how few good interviews there actually are for Ecclestone on the role, but he has always struck me as one of those actors who is never entirely comfortable with […]

@bluesqueakpip

The Ninth Doctor isn’t the Ninth Incarnation. He’s the Ninth Doctor. He’s somebody who was trying to rediscover the role; somebody coming back to ‘The Name of The Doctor’ after being deeply, […]

Just before the show started, BBC Breakfast sent someone to interview Chris about the show, and he talks about his hopes for the show and his memories of its early years.

“Do you wanna come with me? ‘Cause if you do, then I should warn you — you’re gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won’t be […]
