| Character Classic Figures: "The Time Warrior" set Posted: 21 May 2011 10:28 AM PDT Retailer Forbidden Planet continues its range of exclusive Character figures with the addition of a new set to their catalogue tying into Third Doctor adventure The Time Warrior: In this exclusive set we present the Classic Sontaran: Commander Linx and his iconic Sontaran space ship along with the Third Doctor in Green Jacket and Sonic Screwdriver. The set is due for release on the 1st June. Journalist Sarah Jane Smith covertly gains access to a research centre where top scientists are being held in protective custody whilst UNIT investigates the disappearance of a number of their colleagues. The missing scientists have been kidnapped by a Sontaran, Linx, and taken back to medieval England, where they are working under hypnosis to repair his crashed spaceship. The Third Doctor follows in the TARDIS, and Sarah Jane stows away. In return for shelter, Linx has provided a robber baron called Irongron with anachronistically advanced weapons to use in attacks on neighbouring castles. The Doctor helps Sir Edward of Wessex to repel one such attack, then he and Sarah Jane conspire to drug the food in Irongron's kitchens so that the weapons can be removed while the men are unconscious. Aided by one of the kidnapped scientists, Rubeish, he then sends the others back to the 20th Century using Linx's primitive time travel equipment. Linx shoots Irongron down and gets ready to leave in his repaired ship. Hal, one of Sir Edward's archers, fires an arrow into the vulnerable probic vent at the back of his neck, killing him. The Doctor, Sarah Jane and Hal escape just before the ship explodes, destroying the castle. Purchase from Forbidden Planet Earlier in the year Forbidden Planet released another exclusive Sontaran figure set, featuring the Fourth Doctor's encounter with Field Major Styre in The Sontaran Experiment - the image from that earlier set shows the variations between the two releases. In this great gift set is the Classic Sontaran: Field-Major Styre and his iconic Sontaran space ship along with the Fourth Doctor in duffle coat and hat.  The Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan arrive on a desolate and apparently deserted Earth to discover that a group of shipwrecked astronauts from a human colony, GalSec, have been lured there by a fake distress call. One of their number, Roth, tells Sarah Jane of an alien conducting gruesome experiments on him and his crewmates. The alien turns out to be a Sontaran, Field-Major Styre, who is compiling a report on human physical and mental capabilities as a prelude to an invasion of Earth. The Doctor challenges Styre to unarmed combat. The Sontaran agrees but is quickly weakened in Earth's unfamiliar gravity. Harry meanwhile enters Styre's ship and uses the Doctor's sonic screwdriver to remove the vital terullian diode bypass transformer, so that when the alien returns there to revitalise himself he is drained of all his energy and destroyed. The Doctor sends a message to the Sontaran fleet, warning them that without Styre's report they cannot invade. Purchase from Forbidden Planet | ||

| Posted: 21 May 2011 06:05 AM PDT Tying into the theme of the current story, the BBC have released a short interview with Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, where the trio discuss their real-life experiences with doppelgangers: Meanwhile the usual promotional trailers and preview scenes are available for the forthcoming sixth episode of Doctor Who, The Almost People - the second of the two-part adventure written by Matthew Graham. Next Time: The Almost People, BBC, via BBC Website Preview One: The Almost People, BBC, via BBC Website Preview Two: The Almost People, BBC, via BBC Website The Almost People will premiere on BBC1/BBC1HD at 6:45pm, 28th May in the United Kingdom; due to Memorial Day, SPACE and BBC America will broadcast the episode a week later at 8:00pm/9:00pm ET respectively, on the 4th June, the same day as ABC1 in Australia at 7:30pm. As the solar storm rages, Jennifer, a Ganger driven mad by the memories of being "decommissioned", is seeking revenge, as the time-travelling drama continues. She can remember every excruciating second of every "execution" and is determined that the humans will pay. And she isn't just talking war; she's talking revolution. As the crumbling factory fills with toxic fumes and drips lethal acid, the "Originals" wait desperately for the shuttle from the Mainland to rescue them. But Jennifer has other ideas. Can the Doctor convince the terrified factory workers to embrace their own humanity and work together with their Gangers to overcome a monster of their own making? | ||

| No New Doctor Who in North America Next Week Posted: 21 May 2011 03:13 AM PDT Doctor Who fans in North America will have an extra long wait to watch the conclusion to this week's episode The Rebel Flesh. The second part of the two part story will not be broadcast on BBC America or Canada's SPACE until Saturday June 4. The reason is the Memorial Day holiday weekend which takes place in the States next weekend. Memorial Day commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while on military service and unofficially marks the start of the summer holiday season. TV schedulers try to avoid planning any new programming over the weekend when a large number of people are away from home. BBC America will be broadcasting a series of episodes from Matt Smith's time as the Doctor over the weekend. Both channels will show The Almost People, the conclusion to the two part story, on 4th June. Full listings can be found in This Week in Doctor Who. | ||
| Posted: 21 May 2011 02:41 AM PDT Stephen Fry, the host of popular quiz show QI and self confessed Doctor Who addict has been cast in the upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit as the Master of Laketown. Fry has been in many movies and television programmes in the last thirty years but this will be one of his bigger roles. The actor and comedian also played the Minister of Chance in the Doctor Who radio serial Death Comes to Time, and was also in the early stages of contributing a script to the Russell T Davies era which was apparently abandoned due to budgetary reasons. Appearing alongside Fry (pictured here in the Wilde biopic in which he played the eponymous lead) in the big budget film will be Martin Freeman (The Office, Sherlock), Andy Serkis (King Kong, The Cottage), Elijah Wood (The Faculty, Sin City), Ian McKellen (X-Men, Coronation Street) and Cate Blanchett (The Aviator, Robin Hood). Several of these actors will be reprising the roles that they played in Lord of the Rings originally. Of most interest to Doctor Who fans, of course, is the presence of Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy (who starred with Fry in Death Comes to Time) as wizard Radagast the Brown. The Hobbit will be a two part film and shooting began this March for the films eventual release in 3D (is it us or is just about every single film made in 3D these days as a sneaky way to up ticket prices by four pounds?). Super weight film Director Peter Jackson was very happy to be working with Stephen:

| Last Week's Doctor Who Recap: 'The Doctor's Wife' by Neil Gaiman - Wired (blog) Posted: 21 May 2011 12:40 AM PDT
| ||
| Posted: 21 May 2011 12:33 AM PDT After the events of The Doctor's Wife, some younger viewers of Doctor Who may have been surprised to learn just how impossibly big the TARDIS really is. For years and years it's been something of a mystery as to the actual size of the ship. We don't know all that much about it either, only little facts. It's a Type 40 which was viewed as obsolete in terms of Time Lord technology, and is a living, sentient being with its power harnessed from a black hole, its chameleon circuit is broken and like the Doctor it's the last of its kind. But what really lies within the infinite space of the TARDIS, does it have a measured size or is it simply a separate dimension housed within a handy capsule? We know that the Doctor has had many different "desktop themes" when it comes to his home. The first seven Doctor's favoured the standard sized white control room, all on one level. It wasn't until the Fourth Doctor came along that we found the secondary control room with its Victorian theme and ornate look. The seventh and eighth Doctors had a gargantuan Jules Verne design for theirs, certainly the biggest that viewers have ever seen the Doctor use. All of these rooms vary in size (even the first Doctor's control room shrinks by his second series-we'll presume that he started to customise the desktop from then on) and still give no indication of the ships true volume. Over the past forty seven years we've seen the Doctor unveil different parts of the TARDIS that move about of their own free will. The Invasion of Time sees him running through the seeming infinite levels of the TARDIS (and its swimming pool for the very first time) to escape the Sontarans, the newly regenerated Fifth Doctor and his friends visit the Zero Room so he can recover from the trauma of another death at ease. The Sixth and Seventh Doctors visit their personal wardrobes for a change of clothes straight after their regenerations and the Eighth Doctor battles the Master for his life in the room that contains the Eye of Harmony.
Through books and audio CD's we have also found out about even more parts of the TARDIS and even fateful glimpses of the Doctor first discovering her on Gallifrey all those years ago that Idris was talking about but throughout all these decades we still can't tell you a great deal about her true size. And that's probably one of the best things ever. This marvellous ship creates a wonderful sense of awe with its impossible size and brilliant power, to reveal all its secrets would be to dilute its very own character. Let's hope that over the next few years we see more fleeting glimpses of other TARDIS rooms but never discover how big it really is. Or if you want you can answer the question of "How big is the TARDIS?" with the same answer for "how long is a piece of string?"… Twice as long as half its length. | ||

| 5 Questions with... Julian Simpson - Interview Posted: 20 May 2011 07:15 PM PDT Tonight sees the airing of 6.5: The Rebel Flesh, part one of a two-part adventure directed by Julian Simpson. DWO recently caught up with the new series director who spared us some time for a quick interview: The Rebel Flesh / The Almost People is your Doctor Who directional debut, were you a fan of the show before, and owing to the huge fan base, did you approach the job with any nerves or anxiety? I was a huge fan when I was a kid, back in the Tom Baker days, but I have to confess to not being particularly taken with much of the "new" Who (despite my wife featuring as DiMaggio in "Dalek"!). The episodes that did really grab me, though, were those written by Steven Moffat (I know that sounds horribly crawly but it's true!) When Steven took over the show and Matt, Karen and Arthur were cast, DW suddenly became everything I'd hoped it could be and I was glued every Saturday night for the first season. I don't recall being particularly nervous about directing DW but I was acutely aware that, if I did a good job, there was a chance that this storyline could stay with some members of the audience for years, just as "City of Death" has always stayed with me. On the flipside of that, of course, was the constant nagging fear that I might screw it all up and be responsible for the most hated episodes in the show's history... You've worked on other high profile shows such as Spooks, Hustle, Hotel Babylon and New Tricks. How does Doctor Who compare, and how do you find adapting to directing for the Science Fiction genre? I wasn't conscious of having to adapt to Doctor Who, perhaps because I've always been such a huge sci-fi fan. If anything, I've had to adapt more to some of the shows you mention above. But directing is about telling a story clearly and with the right tone and style, really you should be able to turn your hand to any genre. The art department on this season of Who, under designer Michael Pickwoad, is the best I've ever worked with and the sets and props they built for me were a constant source of inspiration. I'd like to steal the lot of them and force them to work with me forever. Marcus Wilson was one of the great producers. He was incredibly supportive and, once we'd established that we liked the same movies and TV shows and had almost identical comic book collections, he gave me as much freedom as I've ever had to tell the story my way and in the style I thought was appropriate. Matthew Graham, the writer, gave us a great script full of brilliant ideas and scary moments and he and I also shared many of the same references, so it was a very happy collaboration. There's no internal politics on Doctor Who, at least none that I was aware of. Steven, Piers, Beth and Marcus all just wanted to help Matthew and I do the best job we could. They're all incredibly ambitious for this show and want it to be the best it can possibly be and that creates a fantastically challenging and creative environment in which to work. There's no getting away from it, this is a dark, creepy two-parter, with bags of atmosphere. Your use of shadows are particularly effective in achieving the mood of the stories. How difficult is it to get the desired effect and what are the pro's and con's of working with light in this kind of setting? That's more a question for my brilliant Director of Photography, Balazs Bolygo, who is ultimately responsible for the lighting (and lack thereof) in these episodes. The look comes from the story; there's no way you could make this work if it looked like THX 1138. We referenced the James Whale "Frankenstein" along with Alien3, Shutter Island, The Thing and a whole host of others. It helped that most of this story was filmed on location in various castles in and around Cardiff. These places have a creepy atmosphere of their own and lend something to the atmosphere that would have been very hard to fake. Much credit for the creepiness must also go to my editor, Jamie Pearson, who has the most uncanny talent for constructing sequences that just drip with atmosphere. The stories rely on some pretty impressive make-up – both real and CGI. How challenging is it working with make-up in these mediums, and as the director, which do you think gives the overall greatest result? I'd hate to have to choose; each is good for certain things. Once prosthetic make-up is applied, it's easy to shoot on over and over again and it bears greater close-up scrutiny than a lot of CGI work but if you look at a movie like Benjamin Button, there's no way Brad Pitt could have been aged so convincingly with physical make-up. Within these two episodes, we've used a mix of make-up and CGI. Sometimes you'll be able to tell which is which but there are times where an actor might be wearing a prosthetic but we've used CGI to alter their eyes. The result is pretty seamless and we couldn't have done what we did without using both tools. Finally, if you could have one round trip in the TARDIS, anywhere in time and space, where would you go and why? I'm currently nursing an obsession with Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, the Victorian inventors who NEARLY built the first computer in the mid-nineteenth century. The world would be a very different place now if they had succeeded. My fascination grew from reading Sydney Padua's awesome webcomic detailing their adventures, which I heartily recommend to everyone. Anyway I'd love to visit them, show them an iPad, and tell them they're on the right track. + Post a Question to Julian Simpson in the DWO Forums Ask & Answer section. + To read more ;DWO Interviews, check out the DWO Features section.

| BBC America Delay 6.6 and 6.7 Due To Memorial Day Posted: 20 May 2011 05:27 PM PDT BBC America has decided to delay the transmission of Episodes 6 & 7 of Series 6, due to expectations of low viewership over the Memorial Day weekend. Instead, 6.6: The Almost People will air on 4th June and 6.7: A Good Man Goes To War will air on 11th June. BBC America are planning to air a marathon of the Series 6 episodes so far on 28th May in place of the previously scheduled episode. Despite the fact that DWO is 100% spoiler-free, we advise American fans to stay away from all online forums (including our own) to avoid plot details which will be available owing to the BBC airing of the episodes. The Doctor Who Online website and forums have a zero tolerance to spoilers, but once episodes have transmitted in the UK, we open up full discussion in the forums. Speculation is of course welcomed, as we see it as healthy discussion of the show. [Source: BBC America]

But through all this infinity that is the TARDIS, it still seems to be finite in the Doctor's mind. He's always deleting 30% here and 30% there so that he can acquire the additional power boosts that he needs to do something difficult. But how do you delete a percentage of something that is infinite? It's not possible unless the Doctor uses that as a turn of phrase.
