| Posted: 09 May 2011 04:36 AM PDT The delayed viewing figures are in for Day of the Moon, and they only continue to confirm the Kasterborous argument that, contrary to what a dozen or so tabloids might say, the overnights aren't everything. With the DVR numbers and people who caught the BBC Three repeat factored in, final ratings for Part Two of the series premiere attracted almost two million additional views, jumping from a "measly" 5.4 million to a much prettier 7.3 million. This means that the million-plus viewers that were "lost" between The Impossible Astronaut's overnights of 6.5 million and Day of the Moon's 5.4 have been found again, and might we add, essentially doubled. Just a reminder of what hasn't been factored in: iPlayer hits within the first week, which would, if they counted, tack on another 1.2 million to pull the number up to 8.5 million, as well as iTunes or Amazon downloads, the likely couple million viewers watching around the world on their respective networks, and the always-huge number of illegal file-sharing users out there. The true quantity of people around the world watching within the first week could very easily eclipse 10 million. But of course, it's the people in the UK who watch the old-fashioned way who get counted, and therefore the permanent statistic is 7.3 million, with a 36.7% audience share. This number is still considerably smaller than The Impossible Astronaut's final rating of 8.86 million, but then again, series premieres of Doctor Who often tend to have more people watching than their Episodes 2-13 counterparts. If you want to keep the figures looking good, don't miss this Saturday's The Doctor's Wife by Neil Gaiman at 6:40 PM on BBC One. You won't contribute to the same ratings if you're watching the episode at 9/8c on BBC America or 8/7c on Space, but if you live in the US or Canada, watch anyway! | ||

| Posted: 08 May 2011 10:55 PM PDT Some people are creative, talented and meticulous in detail to the point where it actually makes you a little bit jealous. In particular, we're talking about the good people at Scifi Now Magazine who have put together a brilliant infograph based on events in the Doctor's life from the First Doctor all the way up to the Eleventh. A picture of each Doctor stands side by side. Above them, their details and even their most remembered spoken phrases. Overlaid on this is information about friends and enemies that the Doctor has encountered as well as real life events that shaped the TV series as it developed over the years. In Doctor Who terms, it's a work of art. The attention to detail is wonderful and all the information is easy to understand and not at all confusing for readers of any age. This is something that you just have to see for yourself. Ok, if you're a hardened Doctor Who fan then there may not be much in the way of new information (unless you can tell us the exact amount of screen hours that each Doctor has had. No? The infograph can…) but you should definitely check it out for the sheer effort that has gone into making it in the first place. For all those that want to have a closer look you can find this nifty little piece in the newest issue of Scifi Now Magazine (Issue 53) which is available, like, now. Or you could just view it at www.scifinow.co.uk, at your own convenience… | ||

This can be accessed here. We'll cease to provide updates to the previous group, but the new fan page will regularly feature new photos and behind the scenes gossip - plus you'll still be able to debate and share your thoughts on the wall.

| Posted: 08 May 2011 07:02 PM PDT In the past few days we've worried about just what its like to be scared, confused child watching Doctor Who, while simultaneously being reduced to scared, confused children by the events of Day of the Moon – it's no wonder The Curse of the Black Spot felt like to most critics to be little more than an enjoyable stop-gap. Bleeding Cool have again compiled their Ten Thoughts about Doctor Who, focusing on the lack of forward momentum from the tale of an adrift galleon:
While praising the creep maritime atmosphere and the sterling work of the sound crew SFX were also critical of the familiarity of the episode- that could have come from any point in the series' run since 2005:
If anything can be taken from this episode its that everybody loves a classy beard. In the absence of an opinion of there own the Metro has again corralled desperate Doctor Who fans from Twitter – who were chosen for their love of Hugh Bonneville (MUST.NOT.MAKE. JOKE…)
Which was concurred by 04nbod:
The Curse of the Black Spot has received a plethora of positive reviews since its broadcast on Saturday night, writes Meredith Burdett; the episode itself was a nice lightweight affair with a good story and great atmosphere. The reviews that have been appearing seem to back this statement up with their general positivity, the episode may not have been adored but t was certainly likes. A review from IGN said of the episode:
Digital Spy gave an overall positive review of the story but found that Lily Cole could have been a bit more involved:
Independent review website The Faster Times found Matt Smith's portrayal as the Eleventh Doctor had once again proved that he was the right choice for the role:
The Guardian seem to be somewhere in between liking and not liking The Curse of the Black Spot, observes Patrick Riley. Overall, they seem to have enjoyed the episode, but:
But that's not stopping them from using the story to speculate on future happenings, like their interesting theory about who (or what) the mega-villain of season 32 might be…
Love? The Big Bad? Too complicated. It's probably Daleks again, right?
The Den is right. Curse wasn't Who at its best. But it was Who at its good (if that makes any sense), which Den of Geek agrees with, but not a certain Gavin Fuller. Ah, Gavin. Still kicking around as The Telegraph's Mastermind-winning Doctor Who "expert" are you? Oh dear.
So
Anyone know the answer to that? We might have missed it, but the return of the pirates to consciousness didn't seem to be fully explained. Have a read of the Kasterborous review to see what we thought! | ||
