| Matt Smith talks Isherwood to the Radio Times Posted: 14 Mar 2011 11:02 AM PDT  This week's issue of the Radio Times sees Matt Smith feature on the cover for the first time this year as he returns to Saturday evening - though in this case "The Naked Doctor" is representing his new role as the gay icon Christopher Isherwood in the BBC Drama Christopher and His Kind, which will be broadcast on BBC2/BBCHD this coming Saturday at 9:30pm.In an interview with the magazine, the actor compares Isherwood's experiences in 1930s Berlin to those of his time-travelling alter ego, the Doctor: "He left 1930s England and arrived in Berlin, a place that in comparison was an alien planet," says Smith, whose role as the young author is the first major drama he has taken on since being cast as the Time Lord. "There's this burgeoning doom of Nazism emerging. It feels like there are vampires walking through the city. There are these brown shirts who are becoming more and more prominent and more and more vocal. They've started ransacking shops." The new issue of the Radio Times is available in the shops from today. You can also read an interview with Matt Smith on his role via the BBC Press Office. | ||
| Posted: 14 Mar 2011 11:01 AM PDT In this week's Radio Times, on sale today (Tuesday, March 15th) you can find out more about the forthcoming drama Christopher and His Kind, which stars Matt Smith, who graces the cover in character as writer Christopher Isherwood. In an interview with Radio Times, Matt Smith compares Christopher Isherwood's experiences in 1930s Berlin to those of his time-travelling alter ego, the Doctor.
This certainly looks like must-see viewing for any Doctor Who fan. Christopher and His Kind also stars Lindsay Duncan, Imogen Poots, Toby Jones and Douglas Booth and airs on Saturday, March 19th at 9.30-11.00pm on BBC TWO and BBC HD. We'll have more coverage on this very interesting looking drama later in the week! | ||
| Matt Smith featured on this week's Radio Times Posted: 14 Mar 2011 11:00 AM PDT Matt Smith is featured on the cover of this week's issue of Radio Times – on sale today – ahead of the transmission of Christopher and his Kind this weekend. The actor is also interviewed inside the issue about his portrayal of Christopher Isherwood and talks about how different the role is to the Eleventh Doctor. In the drama, [...] | ||

| Posted: 14 Mar 2011 09:13 AM PDT  The nominations for the annual Eagle Awards have been announced, with Doctor Who publications/people represented in several categories.IDW, the publisher behind Doctor Who comics in the United States, is nominated in a number of categories. The company itself appears in the Favourite Publisher list, whilst its Doctor Who range is up for Favourite American Comicbook: Colour (Tony Lee), and Favourite Reprint Compilation for Doctor Who: Fugitive. The UK is represented through the Favourite British Comicbook: Colour category, which includes both Doctor Who Magazine and Torchwood Magazine - they are up against long-running comics The Dandy and 2000AD, as well as The Man of Glass. Doctor Who writer Paul Cornell is also up for an award; he is nominated for Favourite Newcomer Writer for his work with DC Comics.

The Eagle Awards are internationally recognised within the Comics Industry, and have been held annually since 1976. | ||
| Big Finish Day – June 11th! Posted: 14 Mar 2011 09:00 AM PDT A big day for Big Finish is on its way, appropriately referred to as the second annual Big Finish Day, when Big Finish's big stars will all gather together at Barking Abbey School in the county of Essex to celebrate the best Doctor Who dramas the world has heard but never seen! Topping the agenda is the announcement of the Doctor's next audio companion, who will be present to speak at a panel and sign autographs. Big Finish is, at present, tight-lipped about the identity of the companion; we don't even know which Doctor he or she will accompany (though it may be the Eighth, as Lucie Miller actress Sheridan Smith, pictured, is scheduled to make her departure at the end of this month in the highly-anticipated To The Death). An unbelievable quantity of guests will be in attendance so you can give them your autograph, and perhaps pay them for theirs. Signatures manufactured on the spot by their owners will be available for purchase from Bernice Summerfield actress Lisa Bowerman, Dalek voice and BF Doctor Who top man Nicholas Briggs, writer Nev Fountain, audio and Dalek writer Robert Shearman, writer Andrew Smith, voice actress Beth Chalmers, and voice actors Duncan Wisbey and Toby Longworth. There will also be free (FREE!) autographs from about a million BF behind-the-scenes personnel, from writers to cover artists to sound designers to pretty much everything else. While there are too many names to be able to display them all on this page, we'll tell you that they include BF exec Jason Haigh-Ellery, Gallifrey and Bernice Summerfield producer and current TV series script editor Gary Russell, and cover artist/Bernice Summerfield: Dead and Buried animator Alex Mallinson. For the full list of guests in attendance, see this announcement at Tenth Planet Events. Of course, we can't forget the most important deal of the day: deals! That's right – show up on Big Finish Day and encounter discounts aplenty on a wide selection of Big Finish stories, including Doctor Who! It's unclear presently whether any of these bargains will extend to the internet, where last year's Big Finish Day exclusively took place; we'll keep you posted if we hear anything. Big Finish Day takes place on June 11th from 10AM to 4PM. Barking Abbey School, where the event is located, is on Longbridge Road, Barking, Essex, IG11 8UF… right here on Google Maps. Tickets are £25; get 'em at Tenth Planet Events. | ||

| Posted: 14 Mar 2011 08:07 AM PDT It seems to be all going on in the Twittersphere today – so what better time to reveal that former Doctor Who star Colin Baker has begun Tweeting this week! The Sixth Doctor himself can be followed under the @SawbonesHex username, where you can expect to find all of the same astute and considered thoughts and opinions as the actor and writer relates in his weekly column in the Bucks Free Press. Colin has been online for a few days now – we were given to understand that his presence on Twitter was a secret, but thankfully he's opted to embrace the online Doctor Who community that frequents the Twittersphere, which is pretty superb! You can check out what the colourful Sixth Doctor actor has been tweeting about recently just below…
Following Colin can be done by signing up to Twitter or just occasionally hitting the link above. Of course, while you're at it, you might as well follow @KasterborousDW on Twitter – we're quite chatty from time to time too, and provide updates to all of our news and reviews! | ||
| Posted: 14 Mar 2011 08:00 AM PDT Popular red-top news-today-chip-paper-tomorrow rag The Sun claims that Doctor Who star Matt Smith was asked to keep his clothes on for the biopic about writer Christopher Isherwood, which you can catch next week on BBC Two. Christopher and His Kind tells the story of Isherwood's journery to 1930s Berlin and subsequent sexual discovery in the city's pre-war homosexual "scene". As such this is a considerably departure from the family viewing of Doctor Who, and quite a departure for Matt himself. While Matt played key parts in various adult dramas and movies over the past few years (Womb sticks in the memory) Christopher and His Kind was apparently the first time Matt had to get used to stubble rash. According to the paper, a source said:
You know, it's good that Matt's main career was given such consideration by the BBC and his agent, presumably, but seriously – this was a news item? This is one of those stories that you could make up – a famous person, an interesting situation, some logic quoted by an unnamed source – and whether true or not, it does make you wonder exactly how much we read in any paper is genuinely true and sourced and how much is sourced from other means (like the imagination…) | ||

| Posted: 14 Mar 2011 07:07 AM PDT Fresh from Twitter, BBC entertainment bod Lizo Mzimba (found at @lizo_mzimba) have this evening revealed the titles of the first two episodes of the new series! Series 6 is high likely to kick off on BBC One on Saturday, April 23rd (known as Easter Saturday; this is yet to be confirmed, however) with The Impossible Astronaut opening the run. This is episode one of a two-part adventure that may or may not be concluded the following day with Day of the Moon. These episodes were shot largely on location in the USA, notably in Utah, last December. Written by Steven Moffat and starring Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill as the Doctor, Amy and Rory, these episodes guest star Alex Kingston as River Song – so watch out for clues and potential revelations from her! Here's Lizo's original Tweet:
Meanwhile, Doctor Who Magazine have since revealed that:

| Doctor Who Series Six Opening Story Titles Revealed Posted: 14 Mar 2011 07:05 AM PDT  Screenings for the opening two-part story of Series Six of Doctor Who are now being arranged, and invitations have revealed the titles of those episodes to be The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon.The BBC's Entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba first revealed the titles this afternoon: "Just got invite to screening of first two new Dr Who eps. 'The Impossible Astronaut' and 'Day of the Moon'. Gosh, the year's gone quickly." This was confirmed by Doctor Who Magazine, who also mentioned they would reveal further titles soon: "Invites for the DW press launch have been sent out today, confirming titles for Eps 1 & 2 as The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon. DWM has the titles for the next five episodes too – but we're going to sit on them for now. They're for our next issue's news page...!" The date of the premier on television in the United Kingdom has yet to be announced by the BBC. | ||
| Putting together the 2011 Stories Posted: 14 Mar 2011 06:59 AM PDT So based on the news from Doctor Who Magazine and from various places over the past few weeks, here's what the year 2011 gives us in the world of Who Episode 1 & 2 (The Impossible Astronaut / Day of the Moon) by Steven Moffat SUMMER BREAK (Boo!) Episode 8 by Steven Moffat Do I have that right? Does this mean we're not getting a big two part finale? Or is the idea that since the Christmas special is so near, it will lead into that? It seems so very odd to not have any two parters (aside from the resolution of the mid-season finale) in the second half of the season whatsoever… | ||
| Episode titles for Series 6 US two-parter confirmed! Posted: 14 Mar 2011 06:40 AM PDT Episodes one and two of Series 6 of Doctor Who have been named as The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon! The titles were confirmed by BBC News Entertainment Correspondent Lizo Mzimba earlier today, when he tweeted about receiving his invitation for the press screening of the episodes. The episodes will form the opening US two-parter, in [...] | ||

| Posted: 14 Mar 2011 04:15 AM PDT I'm honoured to have been nominated for an Eagle Award, in the category of Best New Writer. Well, I am rather new in the context of American comics. Probably. A bit. Anyway, such friends and luminaries as Tony Lee (for his Doctor Who comics) and Doctor Who Magazine are also in with a shot. The awards will be presented at the MCM Expo in London in May. Please cast your votes here. And how's the beard going, you ask? Well, it's all gone a bit Captain Haddock...  Better than the last photo, anyway. All donations to Shelter still very welcome, via the widget on the top right. On Wednesday I'll be back to tell you about my C2E2 schedule, and supply more ridiculous beard news.

| Posted: 14 Mar 2011 02:04 AM PDT We're delighted to announce the release today of the audiobook version of Rob Shearman's multi award-winning short story collection, Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical. The three-CD set contains six stories from the book performed by three fine actors, namely Toby Hadoke (Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf), India Fisher (voice of Masterchef and Charley Pollard) and Jane Goddard (2point4 Children, The Bill, Eastenders, and wife of one Mr Rob Shearman). Available on CD and download, it's a trip into Rob's off-centre world of the weird, wonderful and frequently unsettling, and you can't argue with the winner of an Edge Hill University Readers' award, a British Fantasy award and the Shirley Jackson award for Best Single Author Collection! And don't forget that if you've not checked it out yet, the book is still available; just click here. Rob's next book, Everyone's Just So So Special, can be pre-ordered here, in paperback, hardback, leatherbound and special edition formats. | ||

| Posted: 14 Mar 2011 12:30 AM PDT Fans of Big Finish's The Lost Stories can shout "Hooray!" as the company has announced more details for its series three release which will commence in October 2011. The first three stories to be released all feature the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa and all come from scripts that were intended to be made for television but never got the chance for a multitude of reasons. The Elite is the first release of the series. Written by John Dorney from a script by Barbara Clegg (Enlightenment), Producer David Richardson promises:
The November release is Hexagora by Paul Finch from a storyline by Peter Ling (whose previous writing credits include The Mind Robber) and Hazel Adair. The cast will include Jacqueline Pearce (Blake's 7) and Toby Hadoke (Moths ate my Doctor Who scarf). The Children of Seth is the big December release. Originally penned by Christopher Bailey (Kinda, Snakedance) and now adapted for audio by Marc Platt (Ghost Light, Spare Parts), you couldn't hope to have two better Doctor Who writers handling a story! David Richardson explained:
There are more stories to be announced for the third series. Keep your eyes peeled for more information! | ||

| Posted: 13 Mar 2011 07:57 PM PDT A rather fascinating interview with future Hobbit wizard and former Doctor Who star Sylvester McCoy has appeared at ShadowLocked, where the actor reveals some of his recent work – including reference to The Dark Dimension… For the unitiated, The Dark Dimension was to be a 30th anniversary episode of Doctor Who (originally intended as feature length although it might have been episodic) and largely centred on the Seventh and Fourth Doctors in an alternative history in which the Fourth Doctor never regenerated. Featuring a time-bending villain (to be played either by Rik Mayall of BRIAN BLESSED! depending on which source you believe), redesigned Cybermen and a new Dalek (the inspiration for Dalek Storm), The Dark Dimension would have been an interesting new direction for Doctor Who. Thanks to the work of Philip Segal in securing the rights to make Doctor Who in the USA (the eventual TV movie starring Paul McGann) the 1993 anniversary episode was shelved, despite a fascinating script and the verbal agreement (as far as we know) of all five surviving Doctors. So – what's happening with The Dark Dimension now? Well according to Sylvester in this interview at ShadowLocked, controversial fan Ian Levine is:
(bolding by us for context) If accurate (and we have no reason to doubt Sylvester) then this represents a very exciting project that fans around the world will want to see finished. Thanks to the shelving of The Dark Dimension, loyal Doctor Who fans in 1993 were "treated" instead to "Dimensions in Time", and had to wait another 3 years for a new episode and a total of 16 years between series. As soon as more news about this thrilling project emerges, we'll have it here on Kasterborous! (Thanks to Gareth) | ||
| Posted: 13 Mar 2011 07:11 PM PDT With a new month comes new news from Big Finish unveiling their next Doctor Who trilogy. Starting soon, we have a brand new Seventh Doctor trilogy that kicks off in July and the first story contains some very familiar enemies of the Doctor. Robophobia sees a return of the Vocs, Dumbs and Super Vocs, the robot menaces that gave the fourth Doctor a tricky time in The Robots of Death. Featuring as a direct sequel to the classic 1977 story, Robophobia also branches out into new realms as Executive Producer Nick Briggs explains:
The story will feature Nicola Walker, who is known for playing Ruth in the BBC series Spooks but also starred in Steven Moffat's teacher sitcom Chalk. The trilogy will take a short break in August for the celebratory release of Big Finish's 150th Doctor Who story and then is back in with a double bill in September with the final two titles including The Doomsday Quatrain by Emma Beeby and Gordon Rennie, where the TARDIS land in seventeenth century Florence and the Doctor encounters Nostradamus. Finally, the trilogy ends with House of Blue Fire by Mark Morris within which we're promised:
It looks like it's going to be an interesting summer… | ||
