| Mail Provokes Mediawatch Comment Posted: 05 May 2010 12:25 PM PDT  The Daily Mail has provoked a comment on the new series from an organisation with a long track record of expressing concerns about the classic series, Mediawatch-UK.Mediawatch is the successor to the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association, the organisation founded by Mary Whitehouse in 1965. Whitehouse was extremely critical of Doctor Who during the period produced by Philip Hinchcliffe between 1975 and 1977. She made complaints about several of the serials during this era, particularly The Ark in Space, Genesis of the Daleks, The Brain of Morbius, The Seeds of Doom and The Deadly Assassin. The latest comment comes in a Daily Mail article which claims 'dozens' of fans are upset with the BBC, accusing the production team of trying to 'sex up' the programme to attract more adult viewers. The main focus of the complaint is the final scene in Flesh and Stone, a scene which the Daily Mail was convinced would worry viewers when it previewed the episode last Saturday. In the article, Vivienne Pattison, of Mediawatch UK, is quoted as saying "I have to say the scene was slightly out of place in a children's programme. I thought it sailed pretty close to the wind." The BBC is also quoted in the article, confirming that it had received 43 complaints about Saturdays episode. A spokesman said "Millions of Doctor Who fans watched and enjoyed last Saturday's episode, including the lighthearted and humorous scene in which Amy kissed the Doctor." http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com   | ||

| Posted: 04 May 2010 11:15 PM PDT Wildly successful fantasy author Terry Pratchett has spoken out on the subject of Doctor Who in a recent guest blog on the SFX website, describing the show as "ludicrous".
This is just the tip of the iceberg on a superb critique of the series from 2005-2010 (some is still relevant, but clearly the piece was written before The Eleventh Hour aired) which covers issues such as Adipose, World War One, The Empty Child and the idea of moving the show to Sundays to account for all of the Messianic posturing. A great read – head over to SFX now!  | ||

| Posted: 04 May 2010 10:48 PM PDT It seems that some sort of rabid insanity has taken hold of the United Kingdom – it might be down to the General Election, or it might a sign of things to come. Once again, Doctor Who has been the subject of complaints, this time from viewers unhappy with the ending of Flesh and Stone.
Oh. Is that all? Move along, nothing to see here, people. Still, the BBC have had to issue a response:
Is it me, or is all of this getting just a little bit silly? This is the fourth complaint to make the headlines since the series returned just 5 weeks ago. Could the more innocent complaints about Dalek redesigns be playing into the hands of a particularly nasty organisation?
Meanwhile, Vivienne Pattison of standards pressure group Mediawatch UK, said:
Long-term viewers of Doctor Who might be interested to know that Mediawatch UK is the pressure group formerly known as the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association. Nasty.  | ||

| Posted: 04 May 2010 08:55 PM PDT Doctor Who returns this Saturday with the the Doctor and Amy picking up her boyfriend Rory for a trip to Venice – where there are vampires… We've got a gallery (many thanks to the BBC) of 6 great images from the episode, The Vampires of Venice. Starring Matt Smith as the Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, Arthur Darvill as Rory and Helen McCrory as Rosanna Calvierri, The Vampires of Venice is by Toby Whithouse (2006's School Reunion and the creator of the popular Being Human). Catch The Vampires of Venice at 6.00pm on Saturday, 8th May and can be viewed on both BBC One and on the BBC HD channel.  | ||
| Posted: 04 May 2010 07:50 PM PDT The Song of Megaptera is the latest from Big Finish's series of Lost Stories from the cancelled 1985 series of Doctor Who. Previously known as "The Song of the Space Whale", the story is by Pat Mills, based on his original Fifth Doctor era pitch, with John Wagner.
Starring Colin Baker as the Doctor and Nicola Bryant as Peri, The Song of Megaptera features John Benfield as Captain Greeg, Neville Watchurst as Stennar/Manus, John Banks as The Caller/Ship's Computer, Susan Brown as Chief Engineer/Chanel, Toby Longworth as Stafel/1st Security Guard and Alex Lowe as Axel/2nd Security Guard. Released on May 31st, you can find out more and pre-order The Song of Megaptera at www.bigfinish.com.  |
Giving away little about anything beyond The Vampires of Venice, Darvill – who once starred in a play with Matt Smith and Christian Slater – also refused to be drawn on whether he would be returning in 2011.
Featuring briefs on the first ten Doctors, explanations of the TARDIS, regeneration, mortal enemies and the Time Lord's penchant for young travelling companions, the guide also features a hilarious plan so that anyone can become an authority on the 47 year old series.
At the time of this posting, there is 5 days left to listen to this 57 minute BBC Wales Radio special, 
Promoting his "guest edit" of SFX #196, Pratchett – whose most recent Discworld book Unseen Academicals is hilarious – points out various failings of Doctor Who, particularly since its return in 2005.
Featuring an Amy Pond, who had been terribly close to a horrible death, trying to seduce the Doctor at around 7.05pm, the amusing scene – far more innocent than any dialogue found at a similar time on other channels – has been the subject of a complain by a massive 43 people.
After failing to become the story that introduced Turlough, "The Song of the Space Whale" was later lined up for the same slot as Vengeance on Varos, but again the Mills-only script was dropped, only to be picked up 25 years later by Big Finish for their excellent series of lost adventures.| 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 |
