| Posted: 14 May 2011 03:28 AM PDT As part of their build up to The Doctor's Wife, SFX have featured a double-hander of interviews with guest star Suranne Jones and writer Neil Gaiman. There is such a lot to read in the interviews so you should probably follow the link above; meanwhile we've picked a couple of gems for your entertainment. For instance, Matt Smith was concerned by Suranne Jones' personal hygiene…
Meanwhile, you should be concerned about the amount of spare handkerchiefs you have by your side before tuning into The Doctor's Wife tonight, according to writer Neil Gaiman (well, his friends at least…):
The Doctor's Wife airs this evening with an episode that looks set to change quite a few things… | ||||
| Posted: 14 May 2011 02:59 AM PDT This is a quick round-up of recent news on David Tennant's filming projects.  The Decoy BrideThe Decoy Bride is a romantic comedy set on the fictional Scottish island of Hegg, where writer James Arbor (Tennant) and superstar actress Lara Tyler (Alice Eve) escape to marry out of the public gaze; however, having been tracked down by the paparazzi, a decoy bride Katie (Kelly MacDonald) is hired to stage a fake wedding ... The film opens at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend. Fright Night Fright Night is the remake of the 1985 film, made by Dreamwatch and directed by Craig Gillespie. In this film Tennant plays Peter Vincent, a former illusionist cum vampire hunter who comes to the aid of Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) to take down neighbour/vampire Jerry Dandrige (Will Ferrell). The company has now released a promotional photo of Tennant in character:  The film is released from 19th August. A Miracle A Miracle is a new film being developed by producer Paul Raphael, and is a UK/Turkish co-production. At Cannes he confirmed that Tennant would be starring in the film, playing a despairing London school teacher named Izzy who heads off to Turkey on a money-making scheme. The film is expected to start filming at the end of the year. | ||||

What is happening with Doctor Who games on the PC and Mac? While the iPhone has been receiving update for the Mazes in Time game, 2010′s Doctor Who: The Adventure Games has been conspicuous by its absence since the release of the last installment at Christmas. We've already heard that an MMO is in development (details of which will be released at the San Diego Comic Con in July) which at present is understood to be similar to various Facebook games and now there is news from BBC Worldwide's Robert Nashak that "big news" is planned for next year. "There's big news for 2012 that we can't talk about just yet. Watch this space!" Okay, so it's pretty vague. But it is an actual announcement, which is more than fans of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games have had so far despite promises of a second series of episodes in 2011…> | ||||
| Posted: 14 May 2011 12:41 AM PDT Different websites around the web have been throwing teasers for The Doctor's Wife out left, right and centre over the past few days, ironic, given the perceived sensitivity of the episode and the comments made by Steven Moffat this week on the matter of spoilers… Via the efforts of SFX and Digital Spy we've picked the best of their teasers – which are different from spoilers as they give nothing away – and listed them for your pleasure…
That's your lot! If you want any real hints, you can wait until this evening and watch the episode; in the meantime, writer Neil Gaiman has a short precis of The Doctor's Wife… The Doctor's Wife airs in the UK on BBC One at 6.30 pm and in the USA at 9/8 c on BBC America tonight! | ||||

| Posted: 13 May 2011 09:48 PM PDT "Oh my God! They killed Rory! You b******!" My friends, those are the words you would hear if South Park ever made a spoof of the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who. But some would argue that Doctor Who is beginning to turn into a slight parody of South Park, with the aforementioned Rory Pond née Williams from the former series now having died enough times to compete with the hood-faced boy known as Kenny from the latter. When Steven Moffat first made the announcement back in April that one of Doctor Who's four leads – the Doctor, River, Amy, or of course, Rory – was going to be handing his or her badge in to the Grim Reaper, our esteemed Grand Kasterborite Christian Cawley suggested that there might be decent odds that we would lose our favorite husband-of-a-ginger. This notion was proven incorrect after the broadcast of The Impossible Astronaut, but you can't blame anyone for having believed in the theory. After all, he had already died and come back more than once before, so who was to say it couldn't happen again? Which leads us to one of the big debates in the Who fandom these days: how many times can you kill off the same character before his or her death becomes meaningless? In Series 5 alone we saw the Doctor and Amy both killed and brought back, and since he's been introduced Rory's died at least three dozen times. Okay, so 36 Rory deaths might be a slight truth-stretch, but just how many times has the man met his fate? After pondering on that question for a little while, I came up with the following list of all the occasions in which the writers have attempted to lead us to believe that Rory's gone for good.
How many instances have there been where a main character was killed off and then brought back? This could be a long list. First of all there's the Master, who has returned from permanent death an almost uncountable number of times in both the classic and modern ages of the show. Then we have Jack Harkness, who's died so many times they had to make a spinoff series just to fit them all in! Peri Brown's another example; it was hard not to feel shocked at her gruesome fate in the middle of The Trial of a Time Lord, and yet it was somewhat disappointing to learn at the end of the season that her body hadn't been possessed by a Mentor after all. And must we even mention the Doctor, whose constant dying-and-undying have kept the whole show going since 1963? Now, how many instances have there been where a main character was killed off and stayed dead? Hmm… Adric. Anyone else? Oh! Kamelion. But he doesn't count, he's a robot. There may be more lead persona bucket-kickings than those that I'm not aware of; I won't even begin to suggest that I've seen all there is to see of the classic series. And of course, in almost every episode, there's the random extra in the background who gets devoured by a giant bat or something similar, but I think it's fairly safe to say that more often than not, we've only encountered pretend deaths of the TARDIS crew and others we've seen a lot of. Has death in Doctor Who ever had any real meaning long-term? Not really. If the production crew murdered a companion every season in a family program, it would be too depressing! We wouldn't want to scare off the children, would we? | ||||

| The Fifth Doctor lands in the Seventh Dimension Posted: 13 May 2011 07:11 PM PDT  BBC Radio 4 Extra - recently rebranded from BBC7 - will be bringing new adventures of the Fifth Doctor to radio next week. The series, created by Big Finish, stars Peter Davison as the Doctor, alongside his Season 20 co-stars Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Janet Fielding (Tegan) and Mark Strickson (Turlough).The series kicks off on Monday 16th May with Cobwebs broadcast in four parts in the radio station's Seventh Dimension slot (6:00pm and midnight); the week is finished off on Friday with part one of the second adventure, The Whispering Forest. The full, continuous schedule can be found on the Radio 4 Extra website.
The Radio Times's David Brown writes in this week's issue: A real blast from the past here as Peter Davison steps back into the Tardis to be reunited with assistants Turlough, Tegan and Nyssa. The Fifth Doctor's regeneration aside, it's the first time this quartet has shared a story since 1983's Terminus but the chemistry is quickly re-established. Davison may be more gravelly than during his original tenure but the setting on board an abandoned gene-tech facility readily evokes that era, especially when writer Jonathan Morris falls back on the old standby of characters being chased down deserted corridors by malevolent creatures. | ||||

| Big Finish: The Five Companions Posted: 13 May 2011 06:25 PM PDT   The Fifth Doctor meets up with his distant past – the schoolteacher who settled down, the space pilot who became a King, the security agent who died and lived again and the swinging Sixties secretary who has made her own way in the world. As might be inferred from the description, the story will star Peter Davison as the Doctor, with guest stars William Russell (Ian Chesterton), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Peter Purves (Steven Taylor), Jean Marsh (Sara Kingdom), Anneke Wills (Polly).The story is written by Eddie Robson, and will also feature the vocal talents of Nick Briggs as the Daleks, and Dan Starkey as the Sontarans. Recording kicked off on 12th May, with the CD expected to be released in December as a free special exclusively for subscribers to the main Doctor Who range at that time, with the option for future annual subscribers to select it as their free extra. Full details and subscription options may be found on the Big Finish website; the company have also launched a new fan page on Facebook. | ||||

"What's so odd about that?" I hear you ask. Well, it's the picture based on the portrait of the nude Eleventh Doctor (ok, his Pride is covered up by some sort of red silky thing but still) from the opening of The Impossible Astronaut. Now merchandise is merchandise is merchandise but still, is this something that you would really want to hang on your wall? Proudly framed in your living room as you have guests over ("that's an interesting picture…is it…er, rare?") for a spot of dinner? Well, they do say that it takes all sorts to make a world and if hanging a semi nude picture of Matt Smith is going to make you happy, then you crack on! The poster is available to pre order now from the Forbidden Planet website and will start to be shipped out to customers from 28th August 2011. The cost will be £14.99. For those interested:

| Posted: 13 May 2011 11:00 AM PDT Has The Doctor's Wife inspired you to write an adventure set in the TARDIS? |
In my book that's seven – count 'em seven – times Rory's seemed to be dead now. That debate I mentioned before is really making sense now; is the concept of death in Doctor Who becoming watered down and meaningless? Perhaps, but I have another question in mind: did the concept of death in Doctor Who ever have any meaning to begin with?
