Another new series image and synopses

Posted: 04 Apr 2011 10:46 AM PDT

The BBC Doctor Who website have released another new image for the new series plus a synopsis for The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon. There is also an interview with Steven Moffat about the new series.


You can download the image as a wallpaper in 16x9 or 4x3

Four envelopes, numbered 2, 3 and 4, each containing a date, time and map reference, unsigned, but TARDIS blue. Who sent them? And who received the missing number one? This strange summons reunites the Doctor, Amy, Rory and River Song in the middle of the Utah desert and unveils a terrible secret the Doctor's friends must never reveal to him.

Placing his life entirely in their hands, the Doctor agrees to search for the recipient of the fourth envelope - just who is Canton Everett Delaware the Third? And what is the relevance of their only other clue: 'Space 1969'? Their quest lands them - quite literally - in the Oval Office, where they are enlisted by President Nixon himself to assist enigmatic former-FBI agent Canton, in saving a terrified little girl from a mysterious spaceman.

The Doctor is locked in the perfect prison. Amy, Rory and River Song are being hunted down across America by the FBI. With the help of new friend and FBI-insider, Canton Everett Delaware the Third, our heroes are reunited to share their discoveries, if not their memories. For the world is occupied by an alien force who control humanity through post-hypnotic suggestion and no one can be trusted. Aided by President Nixon and Neil Armstrong's foot, the Doctor must mount a revolution to drive out the enemy and rescue the missing little girl. No-one knows why they took her. Or why they have kidnapped Amy Pond...

From the Q&A, Moffat is asked, "Is there a major story arc to look out for?"
Oh, there's a big story being told this year, and major mysteries from the very off. As ever, in this show, the stories all stand alone, and every episode is a perfect jumping-on point for a new viewer. But at the same time the over-arching plot will be a bigger player this year. More than hints and whispers - we're barely ten minutes into episode one before our heroes face a dilemma that they'll be staring at months from now. And there will be no easy answers.

The Spoilers Start Now!

Posted: 04 Apr 2011 09:07 AM PDT

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the time has come. In just 18 days time Doctor Who returns to BBC One and BBC America, on the Saturday of the Easter weekend.

As a result of this timing, and to satiate the TV listings magazines, this Monday evening saw the preview screening for press and prize winners of The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon, the two-part opening story for the 32nd season of Doctor Who!

What this means, of course, is that if you're of a spoilerphobic disposition, it is time to hide from the Internet. Things are in the offing; facts have been divulged, and those two episodes are now out there, with aspects from them already doing the rounds on forums and blogs across the web.

A quick glance at the spoiler-free review at Den of Geek reveals just how much is going on – the review states that there is nothing given away, and this much is true, but it reads as if it is full of spoilers. The reason for this can only be down to one thing:

The Grand Moff has packed in an awful lot of stuff into these two opening episodes.

Traditionally we throw a few lines in from such reviews – this time is no exception, but if you want to get a flavour of the episodes without actually finding out anything at all, check the link above.

But there's very much sinister business at work, too, and here's where the story backs into one or two of the unresolved threads from the last run of the show. It's an uneasy Doctor we meet, and what follows takes the story to some quite dark places. That means that Matt Smith's ability to switch between light and dark at the flick of a switch is very much required.

Darkness? "Sinister business"? With rumours of all manner of monstrous threats and perhaps a complete unravelling of everything the Doctor thinks he knows, this could be the most memorable series of Doctor Who yet…
