The Buzz (and I'm not talking alien bees...)

Posted: 01 Jul 2008 06:46 AM CDT

So - the regeneration issue is the matter of massive discussion across the United Kingdom this week, with Doctor Who creating a buzz that I don't think has been seen since we were introduced to Rose, back in 2005.

To say that Russell T Davies has raised his game may be an overt criticism of his earlier Doctor Who episodes. What he has done, however, is turn on the style in a way that leaves Doctor Who fans as the first point of contact for the answer to "is David Tennant leaving!?!"

The Stolen Earth was classic Doctor Who in a way that we have rarely seen in the modern era - an expansive, jaw-droppingly realised space opera with, I think you'll agree, the Earth invasion to end all Earth invasions.

I hope under the Grand Moff we get a few more rogue scientist storylines to balance off the deluge of alien races wanting a piece of Earth that we've seen in recent years.

Back to the point, however: everyone I know wants to know what's going to be the outcome of the cliffhanger. Wives and girlfriends are formulating theories in notebooks and rewatching the episode on iPlayer or Sky+; everyone wants to know what's coming!

We'll all have to wait and see, whether we know, think we know, don't know or even don't care (yes, you!).

What is likely however is that the media attention will lead to a very good turn-out in front of the box on Saturday night, maybe even beating Rose - which would be a fitting end to the (regular) Davies era.

News: Davros Radio Times Cover

Posted: 01 Jul 2008 03:13 AM CDT

The new Radio Times cover has been released. The malevolent machinations of the devilish genetic genius Davros has earned the Dalek creator a Radio Times cover to celebrate the concluding instalment of the 2008 series of Doctor Who. The series has now had three times as many Radio Times covers as the original run, underlining the show's status as a runaway success.  As the Doctor and Donna and the rest of the Doctor Who universe team up to defeat the Daleks masterplan, I wonder what...

Reviews: Sisters of the Flame

Big Finish has done what no other medium of Doctor Who has ever been able to do; they filled the void while no TV Who is on air. I’m not just talking about in between seasons-- they took over the reigns while the show was nowhere near our TV screens for six years. To me they were a lifesaver, giving me something that TV could never do. They brought back not only my favorite show in a very exciting fashion, but also brought back Paul McGann. The 8th Doctor won me over from day one. Say...
