| Happy Birthday, Gareth David-Lloyd! Posted: 27 Mar 2010 11:00 AM PDT Birthday wishes go out to Gareth David-Lloyd today, as he celebrates his 29th birthday! The actor was a regular as Ianto Jones in Series 1 to 3 of Doctor Who spin off Torchwood, however the character was tragically killed off during Children of Earth last year. Happy birthday, Gareth!

| Posted: 27 Mar 2010 10:52 AM PDT The return of Doctor Who not only heralds a new start for the series, it heralds a new start for Harris Tweed, the once-fashionable fabric whose fortune has seen a downturn in recent years.
Lorna Macaulay of the HTA recalls:
Although supplied by Angels theatrical costumiers, the type of tweed sported by Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith has been identified as Mackenzie "two by two" dogtooth, likely to hail from the 1960s. Ray Holman is the costume designer on the new Doctor Who - he reveals that there are multiple jackets, the one that has caused all the fuss is for best, while substitutes are worn for stunt work and pyrotechnics. The choice of tweed was apparently a simple one:
Originating in the Scottish Hebrides, Harris Tweed is a heavy woollen material that is spun, dyed, woven and finished. It seems likely authentic replicas will be produced by the Carloway Mill on Lewis. (With thanks to Ian)  |
| Posted: 27 Mar 2010 07:16 AM PDT Doctor Who fans based in the USA will be delighted to learn that the new clip from The Eleventh Hour is available for viewing right here! Coutesy of BBC America we have a clip of the first 30 seconds of The Eleventh Hour, the first new Doctor Who episode of the 2010 series, from the pen of new Executive Producer Steven Moffat and starring Matt Smith as the Doctor.
Doctor Who comes to BBC America on Saturday, 17th April at 8/9c - this is one hell of a great taster for what is to come! (You can also view this clip at BBCAmerica.com)  |

With just 1 week to go before the full broadcast of The Eleventh Hour, the Steven Moffat/Matt Smith era began with a small bang as the BBCs Official Doctor Who website offered a preview for the first 30 seconds of the new episode today.

| Posted: 27 Mar 2010 01:50 AM PDT New Doctor Who Matt Smith appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross this week - accompanied by a long clip from Vampires in Venice, episode 6 of the new series.
As the main star on the show (despite being alongside Oscar winner Emma Thompson) Smith was brought on last - so if you fancy catching up with the interview (in which the new star of Doctor Who reveals he wants to do "at least" another year and keep hold of the part as long as possible) you'll need to cycle through about 40 minutes of the show, available now on BBC iPlayer. Alternatively, catch just the marvellous clip - in which the Doctor wields a very out of date library card - at www.doctorwhoHD.com!  |

This Week In Doctor Who March 27, 2010 - Vol 13, Number 12 by Benjamin F. Elliott
Note - I am working on some major adjustments to the column. Pardon the dust. PBS stations are in the section marked This Week In Doctor Who PBS (the Sarah Jane listings are moving in with PBS next week - expect a name change). Today Sarah Jane and K-9 listings are together as This Week In Doctor Who Spinoffs - next week that section becomes This Week In Doctor Who - Unlicensed, covering the K-9 listings and the long awaited return of the podcasting section. Torchwood listings are in Torchwood This Week.

| Posted: 24 Mar 2010 11:57 AM PDT  The Daily Mail has taken exception to the length of Amy Pond's skirt in the upcoming series of Doctor Who.Writing in the Femail section, columnist Allison Pearson displays a woeful ignorance of the series when she asks "since when was Doctor Who's assistant supposed to be sexy?" and makes a plea to keep Doctor Who as family TV. As any Doctor Who fan could tell her, the Doctor has a long tradition of travelling with sexy companions in short skirts which dates right back to the sixties. What's next she asks, "Cybermen become Cyberchicks with metal boobs?" Perhaps she should view Torchwood's Cyberwoman. http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com   |
| Posted: 24 Mar 2010 10:51 AM PDT  The official BBC Doctor Who website has been updated in preparation for the launch of the new series on April 3rd.The website features exclusive videos and features on the new series as well as archive material from the programme's long history. The first minute of The Eleventh Hour will be available online from Saturday at 6.25pm, one week before the series launch. The website also confirms the return of Doctor Who Confidential. The first episode, Call me the Doctor, captures all the backstage excitement from Matt Smith's first episode and gives a taster of life as the Doctor. There's an exclusive look at the read-through for The Eleventh Hour and Production Designer Edward Thomas and Matt Smith give a guided tour of the new look TARDIS. http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com   |
Following the unveiling of the new Doctor's 'Geography Master' attire, it seems that fans keen on replicating his look were 
Pitching the Doctor into a Hammer horror-esque cellar and a groupe of no-you-see-em-now-you-don't traditional vampires, all dressed in white, the clip seems to hint at a decidedly gothic tone for the episode - something many fans have hoped is replicated across the whole run.
