News: Who at the Proms

Posted: 11 Apr 2008 11:13 AM CDT

The BBC have announced that the Proms - recently criticised as being too exclusive to some sections of the public - are to hold a special Doctor Who-themed night, to be hosted by gorgeous Freema Agyeman. Due to take place this July, The Doctor Who Prom will celebrate music from the show as well as featuring other compositions related to time and space, including such classics as Holst's The Planets - Jupiter and Wagner's Die Walkure - the Ride of the Valkyrie.

Departing Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones - who previously played a Cyberman in 2006's Rise of the Cybermen is returning to Doctor Who for season 30.

Missing

Posted: 11 Apr 2008 09:12 AM CDT

Dare I say it?

I'm going to miss Doctor Who tomorrow.

Family day out takes precedence under the circumstances, and you know what? It's fine.

I don't actually need to watch it when everyone else watches it. I can watch it when I like.

There are of course the illegal options - someone somewhere will have saved the episode onto their PC and have it available via torrent by 9pm.

Following that, I would in theory be able to view it on my PC, PSP, or mobile phone.

Legally, I could watch The Fires of Pompeii on my PC via BBC iPlayer. Using the same system I could also view it on my Apple computer, iPhone or Nintendo Wii.

So despite a trip out of town, I won't miss Doctor Who - and that's something we should all remember. Sure, we can engage in that warm feeling of togetherness while watching it at 6.45pm, and that's certainly my preference. But I won't mind just this week letting my family take first place.

It will be the first episode of Doctor Who I haven't watched on broadcast since 1989.
