| Posted: 06 Aug 2010 07:02 AM PDT What does a powerful Time Lord do when he gets an overload of fan mail through the TARDIS letterbox? He turns to the only person he could do, his mother!
Lynne explained:
As you can imagine, Matt is swamped with letters from fans of all ages, ranging from school children right up to adults in their 90's! Lynne spoke about Matt's appeal to the different generations of fans:
Lynne also mentioned that some of the fans want to follow in Matt's footsteps by being actors and some just want to spend time with their favourite of Doctors:
This was bound to happen as not only is Matt playing one of the most well known and popular roles on television but he is also extremely good at it. The newspaper asked how the family were coping with his new found fame:
If Matt keeps producing amazing performances as he did for the 2010 series of Doctor Who then his family are going to need a few more PO Box's for the years to come! | ||

The figure is modelled on Peter Davison's first full appearance as the Doctor in Castrovalva which saw him suffering from post regeneration trauma. Crashing the TARDIS on the planet Castrovalva he slowly realises the planet is nothing more than a paradoxical, wibbly wobbly trap created by the dastardly Master and his beard. The figure captures a significant moment in Who's history leading into an era where many first began to fall in love with the adventures of a mad man in his blue box. Now all we need is a Watcher figure and the dying moments from Logopolis can be recreated again and again. The figure costs £14.99 from Forbidden Planet and can only be shipped to the UK and Ireland. For a great review of Castrovalva by Kasterborous' own Joe Siegler click here. | ||

Maybe Star Trek – but in comparison, they're swines. Visit Amazon.co.uk | ||

According to IMDb, the premise of the movie is as follows…
It's a fascinating idea and should be 2010's addition to the resurgence in British horror movies over the past 10 years. A preview of Outcast will be screened on Friday, August 27 for Brit horror fans at the FrightFest event. Meanwhile Karen has been snapped dressed in leather. No, it's true – just days after we collected a list of recent press reports on her sartorial elegance and typical lifestyle for a lady her age, another one comes along… (Via Digital Spy) | ||

| Posted: 04 Aug 2010 10:00 PM PDT Former ER heartthrob loves Doctor Who! No, not THAT one (nor even Goran Visnjic) but Noah Wyle, who admitted to io9 that he still has a Doctor Who scarf he had as a teenager. The actor who played Dr. John Carter on the NBC medical drama for fifteen years confessed that his mother had knitted him a scarf resembling the seemingly endless and inconvenient scarf worn by Tom Baker.
And like most Who fans of a certain age he's already trying to pass on his love of the show to his seven year-old boy but wants to wait until he's old enough;
Wyle can next be seen in TNT alien invasion drama Failing Skies executive produced by Steven Spielberg. (via io9) |
