| Posted: 04 May 2010 09:16 AM PDT The Doctor Who Proms have sold out on the first day of ticket release. The two proms will take place in July at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Tickets went on sale Tuesday morning and the event was sold out by lunchtime. Over 500 Arena and Gallery tickets will be available on the day to members of the public queuing at the Royal Albert Hall. The Saturday Prom will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and recorded for future broadcast on BBC Three. Discworld creator Terry Pratchett has questioned Doctor Who's Sci-Fi credentials. Talking to SFX magazine, the best selling author admits he finds the series very, very entertaining, with "its heart in the right place" but thinks "its head is often in orbit around Jupiter". "I just wish that it was not classified as science fiction. Doctor Who's science is pixel thin." Ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston has said he will like to turn his hand to comedy. Eccleston who has recently completed a John Lennon biopic for BBC4, told the Radio Times he had not worked since last year as he selects his TV roles so carefully. "I'm more slapdash about the film choices I make, whereas I choose my TV projects very carefully. But it's a tough time and I haven't worked since December because I'm choosy. I would actually like to do comedy for the rest of my life and surprise everyone and myself." http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com   | ||
| Posted: 04 May 2010 08:40 AM PDT Slaving over exam revision? Finishing off those last few pieces of coursework? Feeling like your soul's being eaten alive by the stress of it all? We know it sucks [right there with you, in fact], so here's a little something to distract you from all the hard work you're no doubt avoiding anyway... =D Props to TheEndofTheRoad aka. RationalSquint aka. Tom :P Considering that's one of the finest SJA fanvids I've ever seen, it doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should do. So here's me, getting it attention. =3 If you're looking for more distractions, there's a veritable plethora of lulz over at The Sarah Jane Smith Wardrobe Appreciation Society Youtube channel. In other news, The Sarah Jane Adventures has recently been nominated for an oh-so prestigious BAFTA Cymru award! Having been beaten out of the 'Best Children's Programme' category by a Welsh puppet show about talking ducks in '09 - will our beloved Sarah Jane fair better against fellow CBBC nominee, Grandpa In My Pocket [eww], this year? If the sith hits the fan, the show can always fall back on its second BAFTA nomination under the 'Best Interactive' category, for the Beeb's truly innovative work on the official SJA website last Autumn. Monster Hunt, imho = seriously epic winnage! Don't wanna jinx it or anything, but the show may actually have a decent shot at securing its first ever win when the ceremony takes place on May 23rd, at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff. Coincidentally also the date of my birthday =P So should the powers that be feel inclined to let SJA come out tops... BEST. PRESENT. EVER!   | ||
| Posted: 04 May 2010 08:04 AM PDT Karen Gillan appeared on the Graham Norton Show on Monday evening, to talk about Doctor Who – not to mention ruining the closing moments of The Time of Angels… The clip below sees Gillan looking absolutely delicious as she speaks to Norton, alongside Alan Davies and Jennifer Lopez. However, the clip opens with Graham Norton (who I won't mention is a bachelor) being exterminated by a Dalek… (Via DoctorWho.tv) Meanwhile Karen Gillan has been shortlisted for Scotland's Fashion Icon of the Year, and is up against actress Tilda Swinton and musician Paolo Nutini.

Following on from the success of the 2009 Companions Chronicles tale The Mahogany Murderers, the Jago and Litefoot series series reunites Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter as the reluctant Victorian sleuths, who are investigating monsters, a secret club, an apparently fake charlatan and the evil Doctor Tulp in four brand new interlinked adventures. The box set also includes a 70-minute behind the scenes documentary with interviews, excerpts from the series writers guide read by Lisa Bowerman, and clips from the studio recording. The series is released in June, and is currently available at a special pre-order discount. Henry Gordon Jago and Professor Litefoot are two of former Doctor Who script editor Robert Holmes' most popular creations, and appeared alongside Tom Baker and Louise Jameson in the 1977 Fourth Doctor classic The Talons of Weng Chiang. Meanwhile, read our review of their first spinoff adventure, The Mahogany Murderers.  | ||

According to the Daily Star (where's the salt?) Billie Piper – best known to fans as Rose Tyler – has been offered £2m by ITV for a further fourth series of the hist ITV 2 show Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and has said of the part of Belle:
ITV 2 chiefs hope the series will be ready to broadcast in early 2011. (Via NebulaOne) Meanwhile Catherine Tate – Donna Noble in 2006, 2008 and 2009 – appeared with Tracy-Ann Oberman in a recent BBC Radio 4 play. Written by Oberman – whose Doctor Who appearance was in Army of Ghosts/Doomsday in 2006 – the play tells the story of resentment which seemingly grew between Crawford (Oberman) and Davis (Tate) as they filmed the 1962 horror movie Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? The production company involved is CPL, and their MD Danielle Lux said:
Bette and Joan and Baby Jane aired on April 29th – read more about the casting or and catch up with BBC iPlayer.  | ||

| Miss Wildthyme & Friends Investigate Posted: 03 May 2010 10:54 PM PDT New from Obverse Books this month is Miss Wildthyme & Friends Investigate, in which the time travelling character created by Paul Magrs appears in four novellette-length stories by Stuart Douglas, Nick Wallace, Jim Smith and Cody Schell. Obverse Books broadens the scope of storytelling. Not only do each of these four stories stretch to novellette length, (a first for an Obverse Books collection), but the collection takes the opportunity to explore the bizarre worlds that exist around Iris Wildthyme even after she's left the party. Spanning a full century, this collection is split into a quartet of stories:
After an initial appearance in Paul Magrs' "The Delightful Bag", the Manleigh Halt Irregulars return for a longer visit. The MHI consist of Miss Clarissa Miller, feisty Edwardian journalist and investigator, her two indefagatible policemen helpers and the mysterious old man, Dogberry – and the unstabkle, time jumping police station they inhabit. A new adventure of the Manleigh Halt Irregulars, "The Irredeemable Love Connection", is written by Nick Wallace, author and editor for the Bernice Summerfield range as well as the acclaimed final Eighthth Doctor BBC novel Fear Itself. Across the wilds of Britain, the MHI team hunt a strange yellow bottle, with fearsome consequences! Scientist, musician, explorer, masked wrestler: Señor 105 will be familiar to readers of the Celestial Omnibus as Mexico's caretaker of the unknown. Defending his homeland from threats domestic and alien, somehow the major world powers don't quite take the luchador's claims seriously. Not since the incident with the Cactus People. With his Parisian companion Sheila at his side, Señor 105 invites a diverse group of people to a dinner party held on the Day of the Dead. Each of these guests owes him a favor and he is collecting on their promises to attain a mysterious objective. In "Elementary, my dear Sheila" by Cody Schell, a murder sets in motion a series of events that leads this group on an adventure through a strange underground city full of even stranger travelers, some more familiar than others, including one very close to his heart. Iris Wildthyme, Pan-spatial Daredevil-trix, and her best friend Panda need no introduction. However, they may need a stiff drink to tackle the challenge of solving the mystery of the mysterious perfume bottle. The first Iris story of this length in eight years, "The Shape of Things" is revealed in this concluding story by Stuart Douglas. Miss Wildthyme & Friends Investigate will be available from Obverse Books in an attractive hardcover edition, featuring the distinctive cover artwork of Bret Herholz, author of "The Adventures of Polly and Handgraves: A Sinister Aura". To pre-order, visit: www.obversebooks.co.uk Miss Wildthyme & Friends Investigate is due for publication on 31 May 2010! (Thanks to Stuart)  | ||

The Ninth Doctor actor – who starred as the last of the Time Lords in 2005 – told the Belfast Telegraph that he hasn't worked since December, is slapdash in his choice of film roles but takes more care in accepting TV parts.
Eccleston has previously appeared briefly in an episode of The League of Gentlemen, while he also managed a moment of unaware and impromptu stand-up in the first few moments of 2005's The Empty Child. While Eccleston might be out of work currently, his extra-curricular activities continue – in April he visited Scarborough on the North Yorkshire coast for the National Student Drama Festival, where the actor conducted a masterclass.  | ||

| Posted: 03 May 2010 06:44 PM PDT Last week's fantastic opener to this two-parter brought us an even scarier interpretation of the Weeping Angels (if that's possible!) and more layers of mystery to the story of River Song's relationship with the Doctor. Who or WHAT is River Song? Can The Doctor trust her? How the heck will they escape from certain death trapped in the Maze of The Dead surrounded by Angels on all sides?
Amy starts unconsciously counting down. To what? And why does she not know she's doing it? This is another spooky aspect of the story, the sense of losing one's self with something else taking over, consuming you from within… After they discover the oxygen factory (essentially, a forested chamber) "Angel Bob" calls the Doctor on the communicator and says that there's so much more power on board the ship than he realizes and taunts him, saying "The Doctor in the TARDIS hasn't noticed." Then the crack in time from Amy's bedroom wall in The Eleventh Hour appears in the wall. "What are you?" ponders the Doctor as he examines the crack… The Angels then break through the door and if you look close enough at just the right moment you'll see the Angel's hand move to catch the Doctor's jacket collar. I didn't notice first time through, but on the second viewing this gave me the willies, as it's almost subliminal in its effect as we witness an Angel moving for the first time on screen. When the Doctor rejoins the others in the forest he is almost brutal with his honesty to Amy, telling her she is dying. There's no point in lying, he's far too busy trying to save everyone and doesn't have time to spare on niceties. The Doctor now goes into overdrive thinking furiously as he figures out that Amy has an Angel in her mind on a "virtual screen" so tells her to shut her eyes to starve the Angel. Amy stabilises and stops counting down, but now has to keep her eyes shut or else she'll die – a nice subversion of the original "don't blink" motif! Before leaving Amy with the clerics, The Doctor tells her he'll come back, "I always come back". Notice at this point that The Doctor is without his jacket. He leaves and then immediately returns to tell Amy to remember what he told her when she was seven years old. However, this time HE'S WEARING HIS JACKET… which we saw him leave with the Angels earlier. This could well be an incredibly significant plot point for the overall arc of the season… or it could be a continuity error. This jacketed Doctor seems more emotional at this point, kissing Amy on the forehead. Is this a goodbye? Has the Doctor from later in this season crossed his own time line to come back to adjust events for a different conclusion? Is this another instance of The Doctor crossing time streams to fix events. Why does Amy not remember the Daleks? As they reach the exit to the primary flight deck, River makes a comment about them running out of time and the Doctor realises that time could well be "running out" or "rewinding" as he puts it. "Time can be re-written," he says. He gabbles on, pondering Amy's nature, referencing the duck pond with no ducks. These flashes of the Doctor's mind at work bring a new level to the character, an insight into the hyperactive chain of consciousness that defines his superior alien intellect. Alone in the forest, Amy is left to weave her way through the fleeing Angels using a proximity detector. This is an incredibly scary position to be in – knowing that if you open your eyes you will die but you are surrounded by creatures that will kill you if you even close your eyes for a split second to blink… Naturally, she falls over and the Angels start to realize that she can't see them after all. Having spent two and a half episodes (including S3's Blink) learning that Angels can't move if you look at them we finally get to see them move – and how unnerving it is to see these stone statues, these lonely assassins, turn their heads to look at the helpless Amy. After watching this my daughter added a new dimension to her Angel impressions, turning her head slowly. Kids across the country will spend many hours in this pursuit, no doubt!
Who did River Song murder? She said that it was the best man she had ever known. Of course, I assume she means the Doctor himself, but how can this be? Does this mean that when the Doctor first met her in The Library that she had already killed him? If not the Doctor, then who else could she possibly be describing? Flesh and Stone has all the hallmarks of becoming one of tomorrow's all time classic stories – memorable quotes and monsters, outstanding performances from regulars and supporting cast, introducing as many mysteries as it solves and adding substantially to the overall Whoniverse. I think the standout performance has to be Iain Glen's Father Octavian, a noble soldier who makes the ultimate sacrifice, "I think, sir, you have known me at my best." The epilogue to this week's episode kicks the series arc up a gear. The Doctor realizes that the date of Amy's wedding matches the base code of the universe that River discovered earlier – "26 06 2010". This is also the transmission date of the series finale – coincidence? We now see the full extent of the portentousness of this revelation – everything is about Amy and all the events surrounding the mysterious crack in time caused by an explosion in the future seem to point to her. Simon Mills is the brain behind the Doctor Who and Torchwood News Service.  | ||

News of former Doctor Who companions Catherine Tate and Billie Piper – while Tate has been busy on radio recently, Piper has apparently been offered a bumper payday…
The first story, "The Found World" features Professor George Challenger, a character who previously appeared in such Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories as "The Poison Belt", and "The Disintegration Machine". Jim Smith, author of the Bernice Summerfield audio "The Adventure of the Diogenes Damsel" (which featured another of Doyle's creatures, Mycroft Holmes) presents an untold tale of this fascinating and infamously confounding character described by Doyle as "just a homicidal megalomaniac with a turn for science". World war has commenced for the first time in history, and the government need Challenger's team to return to their Lost World. Meanwhile, a drunken Iris Wildthyme runs The Tradesman's Entrance and a peculiar bottle turns up in the Amazonian mud…
BBC America offers a 14-minute cut-down episode of Doctor Who Confidential (War Games) featuring a behind the scenes look at Doctor Who: 'Victory of the Daleks' on their site 
Former Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston has spoken of his ambition to do comedy.
We open with a clever solution to the cliff-hanger and more quotable lines from the pen of Steven Moffat, "One good jump and up we fell!" as they all pick themselves up having fallen upwards towards the base of the Byzantium. This absurd phraseology really makes me think of Alice in Wonderland and, actually, now I think of it more, there seems to be a lot of Alice about Amy's situation – a girl on the verge of some big changes running away to Wonderland and having adventures with the Mad Hatter. Anyway, I digress…
The conclusion to the Angel's story is rather simplistic, the artificial gravity fails and the Angels fall to their doom and are consumed by The Crack. This episode certainly tops the preceding week's Time of The Angels and zips along at a cracking pace. Moffat's script sparkles with witty dialogue interspersed with moments of poignancy, dripping with memorable quotes. I went into this two-parter telling friends that we would get answers to questions about the nature of the crack and Amy's role in events to come, but in fact, we probably have more questions than before!| You are subscribed to email updates from Kopic's Dr Who and Torchwood News To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
