Rory the Super-Sub!

Posted: 15 Sep 2011 07:30 AM PDT

Cometh the hour, cometh the Rory! Arthur Darvill has been talking up the ever dependable Rory and the not so dependable Doctors relationship and the real 'bond' the two characters share.

Speaking to Newsarama Darvill re-emphasised just how when called upon Rory can make that crucial difference – it's Rory, the super-sub!

"I think they've got, you know, a very, very strong relationship, and as much as Rory can be a bumbling idiot at times, I think he's proved to the Doctor and to everyone else around that, when everything starts kicking off [he] can really step up to the plate and deliver."

The Peter Crouch of the TARDIS believes that the three lead's in this half of the season in particular have really upped there game.

He also added that he could perhaps one day see the gaffer reunite all the companions however his idea of what would make scintillating Saturday night TV differs slightly from the rest of us:

"I mean maybe it would be some kind of strange self-help group to get over [it] and everything with the Doctor. Yes maybe that would be a good episode, just all of the past companions in therapy."

Doctor Who continues this Saturday with The God Complex on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in (that's right!) America.

Barrowman: Managing Expectations

Posted: 15 Sep 2011 06:28 AM PDT

John Barrowman has recently admitted that although the temptation may be there, he has never slept with a fan or a groupie.

Talking with the Metro newspaper, the actor and singer and presenter said that it was not something that he could do:

"I've never done it. I have a partner. Plus, maybe I won't live up to their expectations."

Barrowman seems to be one of those celebrities that although he is extroverted and personable in front of the camera, prefer to lead a quiet life behind it. Do we ever see a shock-and-revelation story about the actor in a tabloid newspaper? The answer is no. This is because he does appear to come across as totally committed to his partner and their private life, which is very refreshing in the twenty first century where he is surrounded by quite a few celebrities that clearly enjoy that lifestyle (never, of course, naming any names!).

John also talked about the difference between the fans of his music and the fans of his television work:

"They're all geeks and nerds. And I say that with love because I'm a nerd myself: I wear superhero T-shirts; I go to Comic-Con; I buy all the memorabilia."

The thought of him at a Doctor Who stand, nervously asking for Colin Baker's autograph whilst wearing a Stargate SG1 T-shirt is one that can't help but make you laugh!

Complete Series 6 - BBFC Classifications

Posted: 15 Sep 2011 06:18 AM PDT

The BBFC have now classfied several more features that will appear on the forthcoming Complete Series 6 DVD/Blu-ray boxed sets, currently expected to be released during November.

In our previous update, the series finale The Wedding of River Song had yet to be confirmed; this has now been classified with a PG certificate and a running time of 45m 22s.

Commentaries have also been classified for some of the episodes from the series, with The Impossible Astronaut, The Doctor's Wife, A Good Man Goes To War, and The Wedding of River Song having been included (so far).

New features that weren't available on the earlier individual Part 1/Part 2 releases include the Comic Relief special, Time/Space, the preludes to the episodes that appeared on the BBC website, and other additional specially produced material:

Space & Time                U     6m 57s

Preludes:
The Impossible Astronaut PG 1m 48s
Curse of the Black Spot U 1m 23s

Up All Night PG 1m 55s (James Corden)
First Night/Last Night PG 5m 45s (Matt Smith/Karen Gillan)
Bad Night U 8m 28s (Matt Smith/Karen Gillan)

As with previous releases, Doctor Who Confidential will be included in its "Cut-Down" form, though only the latter half have been passed at present:

 8. River Runs Wild        PG   12m 50s
9. About A Boy PG 13m 43s
10. What Dreams May Come U 11m 10s
11. Heartbreak Hotel PG 9m 15s
12. Open All Hours PG 12m 47s
13. When Time Froze PG 8m 59s

Vote for the Women of Who!

Posted: 15 Sep 2011 05:33 AM PDT

BBC America site Anglophenia, that deals with all the celebrity interests of England is running a "best of British females 2011" vote to find out who the best lady of the UK is!

Already in its second round (and with a surprising loss for Eve Myles), voting is still open for a whole host of beautiful Doctor Who women to grab the top spot.

Karen Gillan, Billie Piper, Catherine Tate, Freema Agyeman and Alex Kingston are all battling it out against a whole host of other beauties including Helen Mirren, Helena Bonham Carter, Emma Watson, Adele and JK Rowling.

The winner will be heralded alongside the current men's champion-Alan "Now I have a machine gun, ho-ho-ho" Rickman.

Some of the Doctor Who girls are up against singers and other actresses but in one vote, you have to choose between Catherine Tate or Billie Piper. Sorry people, but that's the way that the world works sometimes!

The votes are due to close very, very soon, so you might want to rush over to the site now and make your decisions. This is another great chance to give even more coverage to the great female talent that Britain has and for anyone in America who hasn't heard of these women to start paying attention!

Dalek Collector gains Guinness World Record

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 11:56 PM PDT

The 2012 Guinness World Records features the man with the largest collection of Daleks in the world.

Rob Hull, a 49 year from Hull in Yorkshire, is recognised for having the largest collection of the deadly assassins from Skaro, with a total of 571 models, collected over 20 years.

The collection contains Daleks large and small including a 1.8 metre (6ft) lifesize replica model. He brought his first Dalek at 29 and has been collecting them ever since, despite not being a fan of Doctor Who.

Hull's wife Dawn is not celebrating the record.
I hate the bloody things and I've got a feeling this is only going to encourage him.


Doctor Who, is already the holder of two Guinness World Records, having been named the Worlds Most successful sci-fi series in 2009 as well as being the Longest running sci-fi series. Last year Doctor Who Magazine was named as the world's Longest Running Magazine Based on a Television Series.

The Daleks' Day Delayed

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 11:22 PM PDT

Day of the Daleks Special EditionThe Dalek Invasion of Earth actually occurred when the pepper pots found out what rioters had done to their beloved DVD supplies.

Back in August, the country went a little bit mad, deciding that burning buildings, kicking off at passing police and looting sunglasses from Primark was the way forward. Some soon found that there were consequences to their actions. Arrests, clips 'round the ear, and the delay of a certain Doctor Who DVD:
Day of the Daleks.

A fire at the 20,000 sq m Sony warehouse in Enfield, North London that destroyed DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs and Playstation games was, allegedly, started by three teenagers, during the riots. (Please, no jokes about misunderstanding the phrase 'burning a disc.') The arson attack affected many companies, including 2|entertain, the firm in charge of distributing BBC DVDs. The entire first run of Day of the Daleks has been completely destroyed, and, as such, copies of further batches have just started to trickle through onto the market.

Of course, it hasn't helped the situation that 2|entertain have been less than forthcoming with this information, but at least they're starting to admit to it, perhaps hoping that fans will forget about the delay after the first extermination, or maybe on the viewing of the special feature, "The Cheating Memory".

Day of the Daleks
was always going to be a popular release. Like the sound of Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning versus an army of three Daleks? 'Oh, go on then.' Would a commentary with the late, great Barry Letts – producer of said story – convince you further? 'Consider my arm severely twisted.' How about a special edition with brand new effects, and an actual (-ish) army of exterminating nasties? 'Look; just give me the damn DVD already.'

Yes, this whole situation is less than desirable, but Day of the Daleks is worth the wait…

('No, seriously, give me the DVD.')

Day of the Daleks Special Edition was released on Monday, 12th September and despite the delays you can still order your copy from Amazon for just £12.93 – just don't expect to receive it within the usual timeframe…
