Doctor Who and the Son of Doctor Who

Posted: 13 Apr 2010 11:40 PM PDT

This article asks: "Is this the Doctor Who general election? And are Labour hoping that some of the popularity of the show will rub off on them?" The forthcoming UK general election and Doctor Who do seem to be becoming evermore interlinked.

The new issue of Radio Times, harking back to its 30 April to 6 May issue from 2005 (opposite), shows the Daleks in the colours (blue, red and yellow) of the three main UK political parties, David Tennant, earlier this year, declared his support for the UK's Labour Party and Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the party's current leader. Earlier this week, the Labour Party turned to the Doctor and a son of the Doctor in it's campaign to win re-election in the election.

The first party-election broadcast of the campaign premièred on YouTube before airing on UK television channels. In the Labour Party broadcast, The Road Ahead,the third Doctor Jon Pertwee's son, Sean Pertwee, appeared, while the tenth Doctor David Tennant provided the voice-over.

See our earlier story about this week's Radio Times and the interview with Brown, who reveals that Tennant is his favourite Doctor, and that he saw him recently in Shakespeare's Hamlet.

In recent months, both Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat have separately warned against David Cameron's Conservatives winning the election, fearing the future of the BBC would be under threat. Citing Moffat's comments, the Daily Mirror claimed that Saturday's episode, The Beast Below, featured a message blasting the Tories:
A livid Doctor says: "Once every five years everyone chooses to forget what they have learned. That's democracy."
A source said: "This almost echoes what Labour has been saying about how people should not forget what they learned in the 80s. They think the Tories will drag the country down again and it looks like the Doctor feels the same."

In February, the Sunday Times claimed that writers wove anti-Tory propaganda into Doctor Who scripts in the 1980s.

As for the Liberal Democrats, their candidate for Blaenau Gwent, Wales, is one Matt Smith!

US Build Up

Posted: 13 Apr 2010 11:23 PM PDT

The Eleventh Hour heralds the new era of Doctor Who in the USA on Saturday – and to promote this, Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Steven Moffat have headed to the USA

Matt Smith, Karen Gillan stars of Doctor WhoIn advance of the new series on BBC America on Saturday at 9/8c, Thursday, 15th April sees Matt, Karen and Steven at the Village East Cinema in New York for the official premiere screening of The Eleventh Hour, followed by a Q&A moderated by USA Today (submit a question here).

Earlier this week meanwhile, the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and the man who wrote their first two adventures dropped in to the Paley Center for Media to view the screening of Who's Next? The New Era of Doctor Who set to air on BBC America this week before The Eleventh Hour. You can see images from this event at Holy Moly.

It's a lot more low-key than last year's San Diego Comic Con event which saw screaming and adoring fans lapping up the atmosphere as David Tennant and John Barrowman took to the stage – nevertheless, there are high hopes for Smith and Gillan, according to The Mirror:

"Doctor Who has a cult following in the States thanks to David Tennant, but bosses are really hopeful that Matt and Karen can help to make the series even bigger.

"If the Doctor can work his magic, the pair will become worldwide stars."

Finally, in light of all of this State-side buildup, Shadowlocked are featuring an interesting post by Caleb Leland about growing up in the USA as a Doctor Who fan.

Constellation Awards Nominations

Posted: 13 Apr 2010 10:06 PM PDT

The Doctor Who bookshelf of awards eyes up Canada next, with a number of nominations in the categories for the Constellation Awards.


Former Doctor David Tennant is up for his third award for Best Male Performance in a 2009 Science Fiction Television Episode with The Waters of Mars; he previously won in the 2006 and 2007 ceremonies. This time he is up against Gareth David Lloyd for his performance as Ianto Jones in Torchwood: Children of Earth (Day Four). Other nominations include Jenson Ackles (Supernatural), John Noble (Fringe), Misha Collins (Supernatural), Robin Dunne (Sanctuary) and Ron Livingston (Defying Gravity).

The Best Female Performance in a 2009 Science Fiction Television Episode sees guest star Michelle Ryan nominated for her role as Lady Christina in Planet of the Dead. This was won last year by Catherine Tate for her role as Donna Noble in Turn Left, and in 2008 by Carey Mulligan (Sally Sparrow in Blink). Michelle's competition includes Agam Darshi (Sanctuary), Alona Tal (Supernatural), Amanda Tapping (Sanctuary), Erin Karpluk (Being Erica), Laura Harris (Defying Gravity) and Lena Headley (Sarah Connor Chronicles)

Doctor Who is (of course!) up for Best Science Fiction Television Series of 2009 for the fourth time, having won this category in all three previous ceremonies. This year it is up against the likes of Sanctuary, Supernatural, Stargate Universe, Defying Gravity, Flash Forward and Being Erica. (The series also won the Outstanding Canadian Contribution to Science Fiction Film or Television at the first ceremony in 2007.)

Best Overall 2009 Science Fiction Film or Television Script sees Torchwood: Children of Earth (Day One) nomimated; last year this was won by the Doctor Who episode Silence in the Library. Torchwood is up against Stargate Universe, Defying Gravity, Being Erica, Flash Forward and District 9.


The Constellation Awards are Canada's annual science fiction awards, and focus on rewarding excellence in science fiction film and television. This is the fourth year of the Awards, which are voted for by the Canadian public; it will take place at the Polaris 24 convention on 17th July 2010.
