The Seventh Doctor at Dragon*Con!

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 08:02 AM PDT

If there's one thing that America knows how to do well (there's many but this one is worth highlighting) its comic conventions!

This year Dragon*Con will be taking place in Atlanta, and it's the "largest multi-media, popular culture convention focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film in the universe!"

You're bound to come across interesting characters and events but for all you Doctor Who fans living stateside, there's a lot going on to tickle your fancy.

Merrick, the news deliverer for Aint it Cool News, has posted that his friend Ken Plume will be hosting a couple of Doctor Who panels at the event which starts today.

Plume will not only be speaking to the one and only Sylvester McCoy (the Seventh Doctor) on the Friday, he will also be hosting a more general Who related panel on the Sunday where prizes will be available for a lucky few!

Rumour also has it that there will be a special screening of Night Terrors, the newest episode from Series 6 on the Saturday so there's plenty for all.

Dragon Con is taking place from September 2nd until September 5th in Atlanta. For information on Dragon*Con, go to the official website at dragoncon.org.

Dolores Umbridge in Doctor Who?

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 07:00 AM PDT

British character actress Imelda Staunton, whose long list of credits includes Harry Potter films as Dolores Unbridge, is listed in the cast of The Girl Who Waited!

The adventure – which airs on September 10th at 7.15pm – focuses on Amy and Rory, and is essentially this year's "Doctor-lite" episode, featuring minimal work from Matt Smith. The BBC lists the episode thus:

Amy is trapped in a quarantine facility for victims of an alien plague – a plague that will kill the Doctor in a day.

The Doctor can use the TARDIS to smash through time and break in, but then Rory is on his own. He must find Amy and bring her back to the TARDIS before the alien doctors can administer their medicine.

Rory is about to encounter a very different side to his wife. Can he rescue Amy before she is killed by kindness?

Staunton appeared notably in the Harry Potter movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, as well as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. She also appeared in Nanny McPhee and Much Ado About Nothing.

The actress is listed on the Radio Times website as "Voice of Interface – Imelda Staunton", indicating that she is playing a similar guest role as Michael Sheen earlier in the season who voiced House in The Doctor's Wife.

Target reprints reach North America

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 03:52 AM PDT

Diamond Book Distributors have announced that first three of the recent Target novelisation reprints from BBC Books will be released in North America in early September:
Doctor Who and The Daleks
by David Whitaker
with introduction by Neil Gaiman

The mysterious Doctor and his granddaughter Susan are joined by unwilling adventurers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright in an epic struggle for survival on an alien planet.

In a vast metal city they discover the survivors of a terrible nuclear war – the Daleks. Held captive in the deepest levels of the city, can the Doctor and his new companions stop the Daleks' plan to totally exterminate their mortal enemies, the peace-loving Thals? More importantly, even if they can escape from the Daleks, will Ian and Barbara ever see their home planet Earth again?

Featuring the First Doctor as played by William Hartnell, and his companions Susan, Ian and Barbara.
Doctor Who and The Cybermen
by Gerry Davis
with introduction by Gareth Roberts

In 2070, the Earth's weather is controlled from a base on the moon. But when the Doctor and his friends arrive, all is not well. They discover unexplained drops of air pressure, minor problems with the weather control systems, and an outbreak of a mysterious plague.

With Jamie injured, and members of the crew going missing, the Doctor realises that the moonbase is under attack. Some malevolent force is infecting the crew and sabotaging the systems as a prelude to an invasion of Earth. And the Doctor thinks he knows who is behind it: the Cybermen.

Featuring the Second Doctor as played by Patrick Troughton, and his companions Polly, Ben and Jamie.
Doctor Who and The Abominable Snowmen
by Terrance Dicks
with introduction by Stephen Baxter

The Doctor has been to Det-Sen Monastery before, and expects the welcome of a life time. But the monastery is a very different place from when the Doctor last came. Fearing at attack at any moment by the legendary Yeti, the monks are prepared to defend themselves, and see the Doctor as a threat.

The Doctor and his friends join forces with Travers, an English explorer out to prove the existence of the elusive abominable snowmen. But they soon discover that these Yeti are not the timid animals that Travers seeks. They are the unstoppable servants of an alien Intelligence.

Featuring the Second Doctor as played by Patrick Troughton, and his companions Jamie and Victoria.

Find out in February 2012 when Ian McNeice will be playing Harcourt and sparring with the Fourth Doctor. The Renaissance Man, starring Tom Baker and Louise Jameson, is available for pre-order now, or you can pre-order the entire first series!

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 02:48 AM PDT

Radio Times have confirmed that Imelda Staunton will be lending her vocal talents to the role of 'Voice of Interface' in 6.11: The Girl Who Waited.

In other casting news, the synopsis for the Series 6: Part 2 DVD confirms that Simon Callow (Charles Dickens in the Series One episode The Unquiet Dead), will be in the final episode of the season 6.13: The Wedding of River Song. The synopsis also confirms rumours that Mark Gatiss (New Series Writer & Professor Richard Lazarus in 3.6: The Lazarus Experiment), will also appear in the finale.

It is unknown at this point, which character he will be playing, but we cannot rule out a return to the role as Charles Dickens.

Fish-Slapping Tennant: Live!

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 02:28 AM PDT

If you ever felt annoyed by David Tennant's boyish good looks, his Christmas 2009 ubiquity or his honest charm, this video should suit you down to the ground – he gets slapped, with a fish!

David Tennant appeared once again this morning on the Christian O'Connell show on Absolute Radio, providing travel news bulletins for his showbiz friend, and the the result of this is that he was slapped around the chops – while dressed el mariachi style – with a sizeable piscene truncheon.

So, just what on earth is "fish-slapping"? Well, we'll let John Cleese and Michael Palin demonstrate it to you…

As you can see, it was quite a slap!

Still, would have been nice if they could have built up to it with a bit of a dance, don't you think…?

Reprints are Finally Released!

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 12:55 AM PDT

Doctor Who - Father TimeWell they're here at last!

"What's that?" you ask like some elderly relative visiting at Christmas: "What's here?"

The reprints of Lance Parkin's BBC Books contributions, that's what. Don't tell me you've missed the almost constant coverage they've received from Ebury books and Auntie?

You have? Well that might just be because there has been no constant coverage, in fact sadly there hasn't been any coverage at all for these books.

The only way you might have come across them is by reading about them here, seeing them on other sites  or on the Doctor Who Reprint Society.

But none of that matters now. They're here. Go out and buy them.

Even if you're not a Lance Parkin fan (yet) you should purchase these books to show Ebury and the BBC that we want to see more Doctor Who books. If these books don't sell well then we won't see any more Eighth Doctor Adventures and the poor Seventh Doctor certainly won't have any books reprinted.

So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and get them – the Doctor Who Reprint Society shop is a good starting place!

End of the Road: UK overnight viewing figures

Torchwood:End of the Road achieved an average audience of 3.5 million viewers on BBC One and BBC One HD, according to unofficial overnight figures.
