By Joe The BBC site has a five minute video interview from a recent news programme with David Tennant, where he takes several questions about Doctor Who from viewers, including one asking about the snogging in the revived series and  who was the better kisser, Billie Piper or Kylie (its a damned...

By Joe As you can see these are entries in the growing classic Doctor Who range, which is something many fans have been clamouring for (last year’s first wave of classic small action figures such as the Tom Baker and Peter Davison ones were hugely popular, I have some on my own desk in fact and dammi...

By Joe Former Bionic Woman and Eastenders star Michelle Ryan will be one of the actors in the Doctor Who Easter special, playing the role of Lady Christina de Souza in the episode with the cheery title of Planet of the Dead. Ryan was also in mini-series Jekyll, a modern day take on Stevenson’s class...

By Richard Previously playing Roderick in the “Doctor Who” episodes “Bad Wolf”/”Parting Of Ways,” Joseph is known for fine upstanding and terribly-well-spoken-dontcha-know roles as Johnson in “Peep Show,” the Marquis De Carabas in “Neverwhere,” Space Marshall Clarke in “Hyperdrive,” Lynd...

By Richard Another best of 2008 feature, this time from friend to the blog; Paul Cornell. Paul, if you don’t already know is a multi-talented writer of prose, comics and has a string of television writing credits to his name including some great work on Doctor Who. He’s responsible for the excellent tw...

By Joe John has been involved in comics and science fiction for more years than he would probably care for me to mention here, from The Really Heavy Greatcoat (with Nick Miller) to editing Doctor Who Magazine at a crucial moment in its history and countless other publications, right up to the lat...

By Joe “Well I’ve always been a big supporter of Wee Jimmy Krankie. So the campaign starts here to get Wee Jimmy Krankie in the Tardis and big Ian Krankie as the companion. I think that works,” David Tennant shares his thoughts on who should follow him in the lead role of Doctor Who. Bagpuss, 20-1

By Joe Russell T Davies has commented that he thinks Russell Tovey would be terrific in the lead role of Doctor Who if and when David Tennant decides to leave. Tovey had a small part in last year’s Christmas special as a midshipman on the doomed spaceship Titanic and a much larger role in The History...

By Joe The latter seems slightly odd given that the rest of the villains in the first wave are all Tom Baker era characters but the Sea Devil was a Jon Pertwee foe, although of course they returned to face Peter Davison’s incarnation a decade later, but let’s not talk about that because it was a bloo...

By Joe The best Dramatic Presentation Long Form went to the movie adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess’ Stardust, which may not be the most original fantasy tale but it was one of the more delightful ones.

By Joe The BBC website reports on a talk incoming Doctor Who big cheese Steven Moffat gave at last weekend’s Comic-Con in San Diego, where he affirmed that there would be more new monsters when he takes over and that there wouldn’t be so many appearances from old characters: “We’re not in the busi...

By Joe It looks as if the show is riding the ‘Doctor Who effect’ which has seen production companies realise that there is still a large demand for early evening, all-ages friendly science fiction and fantasy, with Merlin looking set to air in a similar early Saturday evening slot to Doctor Who. T...

By Joe The 2008 Constellation Awards have been given out in Canada for science fiction and fantasy series and movies. The mighty Doctor Who (a Canadian/BBC co-production) was a major winner, scooping three gongs, including Best Science Fiction Television Series of 2007 and and award for Davi...

By Joe Sky News has an article reporting that a couple of thousand Doctor Who fans tried to dial the mobile phone number flashed on the screen during the show as a prompt to try and signal the Doctor (do you think the Doc is on a monthly plan or pay-as-you-go? Hate to think of the overseas roaming char...

By Joe But you know what? The larger part of me didn’t care. Yes, it was a bit silly and contrived - paint the story into a corner then do something bonkers to get back out of it. But it was wonderfully, enjoyably bonkers and I thought sod it, just enjoy the ride, because its a good one. And how nice was it to...

By Joe The BBC has a video interview with Doctor Who supremo Russell T Davies discussing the difficulties of trying to keep some plot points secret ahead of a show’s transmission in the modern, multi-media digital age. (POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNER - if you haven’t seen the penultimate episode from...

By Glenn Thunderbirds. Stingray. The Avengers. Doctor Who. Apart from being all top notch TV programs what else do these icons of the 60s and 70s have in common? Simple - they all appeared in comic strips of one description or another. Of course, there are many more out there.

By Richard This stole away an hour of my night last night so it’s time to share. Richard Morris has spent 15 months to give us 102 pages of Dr Who comics. (And he’s not done yet!) This is just the ultimate fan’s idea of “how can I get everyone into one Doctor Who comic?” and features all 10 doctors, plus compan...

By Joe The words of Wayne Garvie, director of content for BBC Worldwide, speaking on a video clip on the BBC news site. Why is he praising Who fans (apart from the obvious fact that we know we really are great)? Well, remember the other day the news of Mazzmatazz, the Who fan who is also a keen knitter,...

By Richard But then came the news that had Doctor Who fans gnashing teeth and worrying about series 4. Russell T Davies was bringing back Catherine Tate as Donna to be the companion for the 4th series. Surely she’d just shout a lot and be far too Catherine Tate like as far as the fans were concerned. And wasn...
