Written by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson the pilot is directed by David Semel, who directed the pilots for "Heroes" and "Life". The project has been in development for two years with casting for the lead actor taking place over several months until Tennant clinched the role in August.

| Record AI score for Sarah Jane Posted: 02 Nov 2009 03:57 AM PST The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith received an AI score of 87 for Part One and 89 for Part Two. Both episodes got the highest AI scores on any of the main four channels for the two days. The two scores are the highest received for the series which also received the highest viewing figures on BBC one at this timeslot for this year. The Appreciation Index, or AI, is a measure of how much the audience liked the programme. It is a score out of 100, based on responses from a carefully selected panel including a large childrens section. The average score for children's television is 72. A score in excess of 85 is regarded as excellent while a score below 60 is poor. http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com  | ||

| Writers' Guild award nomination Posted: 02 Nov 2009 01:57 AM PST Doctor Who is up for an award from The Writers' Guild of Great Britain. It has been nominated in the television drama series category, where it faces competition from fellow BBC series Being Human and Little Dorrit. The awards will be announced on November 29 at the Free Word Centre in London. Series Three of Doctor Who was named best TV series in the guild awards of 2007, while in 1975 season 11 of the show (Jon Pertwee's last series, which aired between December 1973 and June 1974 and comprised The Time Warrior, Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Death To The Daleks, The Monster of Peladon and Planet of the Spiders) won a guild award for best writing in a children's serial. The guild is a trade union for professional writers and the awards are deemed to be special because the work of writers is honoured by their peers and colleagues. It follows the news that spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures has been nominated for a Children's BAFTA. These awards will, again, be given on November 29 in London.

| Posted: 31 Oct 2009 04:04 AM PDT Following Friday's press screening of The Waters of Mars David Tennant talked a little about the emotions of departing Doctor Who. Of course all questions are going to be on David and the Tenth Doctor's ever-approaching end - and despite the next episode airing on Sunday, November 15th the line of questioning on the whole seems to skate over what is likely to be one of the scariest Doctor Who adventures ever in order to find out more about the Doctor's imminent death.

| Posted: 30 Oct 2009 12:25 PM PDT So there we have it, The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith has concluded here in the UK. What a corker, hey! Those last few scenes were truly heartbreaking, especially knowing just how little time David Tennant's Tenth Doctor has left. He asks Sarah-Jane (and us, the viewer) "don't forget" - but how could we? You've been fantastic, and such a sport for agreeing to do these crossover episodes.  CLYDE LANGER (DANIEL ANTHONY) IS IN AWE OF IT ALL...Those lucky enough to go to last weekend's screenings in Liverpool will recognise the feature, after it was shown as part of a bigger CBBC advertising package made for the event. Go watch it now for a chance to see both Daniel and Tommy Knight wearing the Doctor's coat, and for the heartwarming gift that Daniel received... and had signed! You can still catch both parts of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith on iPlayer (pending any problems the service is having streaming content, which seems to have plagued the SJA on there today...) over the course of the next seven days. *** Did you know that Zienia Merton (who played the Registrar in this week's episode) originally appeared in Doctor Who waaaaaay back in 1964 during the Marco Polo adventure, playing the youthful Ping-Cho, a local girl who befriended the Doctor's grandaughter Susan Foreman in the 13th Century... Next week... Floella Benjamin!  | ||

| News: Moffatt Hails Matt Smith Posted: 30 Oct 2009 01:21 PM PDT Against a backdrop of Waters of Mars airdates and a sad David Tennant, Steven Moffat has hailed new Doctor Who Matt Smith as the best yet! (Of course, he would say that - he picked him!) Steven Moffat proclaimed Matt Smith as "the best" and described him as resembling a "drunken giraffe". "He's all the things you'd expect, including ancient," he revealed, describing the new Doctor as "someone you can't take your eyes off". Speaking at the 2009... | ||
| Tennant launches Waters of Mars Posted: 30 Oct 2009 12:39 PM PDT David Tennant today launched The Waters of Mars, which airs on Sunday November 15 at 7pm on BBC One. The episode is the second Doctor Who special to be screened this year, and Tennant will also star in two more shows before bowing out at Christmas. Tennant said he was excited for new Doctor Matt Smith, saying: "I remember how exciting it was starting out on this kind of a journey and nerve-wracking. I'm jealous that he's going through that now - but it couldn't happen to a nicer chap. I'm looking forward to not knowing what happens next. I'm looking forward to being a viewer again." Of the special, Tennant said: "The Doctor finds himself in a situation where he knows what the end is. It's all about whether he can un-knit the inevitable. With this particular Time Lord's life coming to an end, if he starts fiddling with the fundamentals of time and space, it might lead to his undoing." At the end of the episode, viewers will glimpse some familiar faces who will appear in the Doctor's adventures to come, including Catherine Tate, who plays the Doctor's former companion Donna, and his arch-nemesis the Master, played by John Simm. He teased: "It's fitting and proper he should be there to see the Doctor off - if that's what happens." Tennant said: "The Doctor now knows incontrovertibly that he's running from his own demise." He described shooting the final scenes as "emotional" but said that as they were filmed out of sequence, the situation did not get too weepy. The actor said the last line he said as the Doctor was: "'You two, with me, spit spot'... so it was robbed of any epic quality. It was very emotional saying cheerio. Filming the final scene was very, very sad. There's lots of scenes in the final, final story that are very sad and were very sad to play." Tennant spoke about the big opportunities that arose in killing off the current tenth incarnation of the Doctor, to take the story "to places we've never quite been before". He said: "It allows it to be bigger and more epic and wilder... and sadder." Tennant said he had originally felt under some pressure in taking on the role, saying: "It means so much to so many people. It meant so much to me." He said the bit he would miss the most was "when the new script comes. That was always such a thrill. It was always surprising." Asked if he felt he was in danger of becoming typecast, Tennant said: "I seem to have managed to do quite a variety of things while I've been doing Doctor Who. I haven't felt that it has been anything other than a positive." The star said he had his own sonic screwdriver which he kept locked up in a "secure location" in case his house was burgled. On playing the role, he said: "You're not really expected to follow what went before, you're sort of expected to go your own way and mess it up a little bit the Doctor is different each time. You know James Bond is always James Bond and Tarzan is always Tarzan and Sherlock Holmes is always Sherlock Holmes but the Doctor is up to you, it's a blank sheet and you can scribble all over it, it's up to you." He compared the job to being the United States president, saying: "You always get to be called the Doctor." At the launch, Executive producer Russell T Davies confirmed The Waters of Mars will be dedicated to former producer Barry Letts. Davies paid tribute to his predecessor saying "He was one of the finest producers of Doctor Who and many programmes.. He used to do the Sunday afternoon classic serials and he actually produced the Jon Pertwee years. And then he cast Tom Baker. He cast Lis Sladen as well. He was an extraordinary figure in Doctor Who history and in pop culture – and he passed away, sadly. So, of course, we wanted to have that tribute to him on screen." The launch has been covered by BBC News, The Guardian and BBC Newsbeat. Journalist Ian Wylie has posted the full transcript of the press launch with Tennant and Davies on his blog. http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com  | ||

| Maida Vale celebrates 75 years. Posted: 30 Oct 2009 09:58 AM PDT The BBC is today celebrating the 75th Anniversary of its Maida Vale studios, best known to Doctor Who fans as the home of the Radiophonic Workshop. A series of programmes being broadcast across the entire BBC radio network will celebrate the role the studios have had in the cultural life of the country, many including music from the classic series of Doctor Who. The Radiophone Workshop was involved with the series from the very start when, in 1963 the unit were given the task of realising composer Ron Grainer's theme tune for the upcoming television series. Working in Maida Vale, Delia Derbyshire created the sound which has become one of the most recognisable themes in British television.. The Workshop was responsible for most of the sound effects used in the series throughout it's entire run and it was in these studios that such iconic sounds as the TARDIS materialisation and the sound of the Sonic screwdriver were created. The workshop provided much incidental music for the programme including every score from 1980 to 1985. The Maida Vale studios were also used to broadcast news across Europe during the Second World War and were the home of Radio 1's Peel Sessions from 1967 until 2004. They also hosted early radio performances from such acts as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie, drama recordings for Radio 3 and Radio 4 including Dr Zhivago and King Lear and Bing Crosby made his last recording session in the studios in 1977. http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com  | ||

| Posted: 30 Oct 2009 01:09 AM PDT It was at August's See Me on CBBC roadshow that Edward Russell, the Brand Manager of everything Doctor Who, spilled the beans on a forthcoming event in Liverpool. More than a little intrigued, Nabu San - fellow SARAH-JANE.tv writer and the ultimate SJA fan - went digging for more information... and found it from the most unlikeliest of sources! + Nabu: I believe there's an event coming up on the twenty-fourth of October? I don't know if you're going to be attending that at all? Lis: Ah, I sadly can't do that 'cause I'm not in the country. Liverpool, isn't it? Nabu: That's the one! Wonder why they chose Liverpool, though? Seems such an obscure location to have something like this, though it is your hometown... Lis: I truly don't know the answer to that, but I think it's nice to see something being given back to an area that hasn't had something like this before. + -- Undisclosed excerpt from SARAH-JANE.tv's interview with Elisabeth Sladen. + It turned out to be an exclusive VIP screening of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, to which Nabu was invited. Lucky bastard. He got to bring a plus-one for it, though - me! Lucky bastard, also. I've met Nabu twice before - and then came Liverpool! Third time's a charm, and all. +  JACKHARKNESS & NABU SAN - TEAM SARAH-JANE.tv (WITH ADDED K9!!) Nabu was *supposed* to write up a report on the day... yeah, sorry to disapoint, but that ain't happening any time soon! Think his creative juices aren't flowing at the mo'. Besides, he's too busy counting the votes for the SJ.tv contest, and arranging this year's Sonic Lipstick Awards [said too much already...!]   | ||
