| Posted: 14 May 2010 10:00 AM PDT It’s Saturday, which means it’s nearly time for a brand new episode of Doctor Who – hurrah!

| Doctor Who: Podshock - Episode 201 Posted: 14 May 2010 09:10 AM PDT "I like the bit when someone says "It's bigger on the inside!" I always look forward to that."

| Posted: 14 May 2010 09:07 AM PDT Warning! There are some spoilers below. If you have seen the trailer then you may be OK but do proceed with caution!
As the 31st season enters its second half its up to comedy/drama hero Simon Nye to keep the viewers entertained. At first it seems to be a straightforward adventure that's slightly light in places, but when you get underneath the delicate plotting you realise just how clever this writer is. I feel that the official blurb gives too much of the story away so here's a brief highlight: It's been five years since Amy travelled with the Doctor, but soon she finds herself making a life changing decision. OK, take from that what you will. Previewing this episode is one of the toughest tasks the team at K have asked me to do. The plot takes us through several different time-streams, a sort of Sliding Doors for the Doctor Who generation but without the tawdry Gwyneth Paltrow. Each stream leads to different adventures, different situations and, for Amy, different choices. Simon Nye fills each line with as many words as he can so be warned, you do need to concentrate with this one. There's also an amazing sequence that contains one of Doctor Who's darkest and most chilling moments. Toby Jones as the "Dream Lord" is very sinister in the old fashioned style of Doctor Who baddie but with a fine slice of ironic delivery. He's funny, witty, clever and guards a secret that's kept well hidden from viewers. As before Arthur Darvill does his best to keep Rory from falling into the trap of being just another casual traveller who happens to be in love with the resident companion. He adds a lot of pathos to his character without ever making him out to be a bumbling idiot. As with most of the season so far the effects fall short of believable. There are some wasted chances here with some crude CGI really letting the production down. Murray Gold's score helps to make up for this, instead of his usual bombastic tone, he calms things down adding delicate themes to push the narrative. This is not your usual Doctor Who episode and will no doubt split the viewing public much on the same way as Love & Monsters did way back in 2006. Watch it if only to see Karen Gillan give her strongest performance yet and to see why Matt Smith truly is "the owner of the TARDIS keys". Amy's Choice airs at 6.25pm on Saturday, 15th May on BBC One and BBC HD. Den of Geek currently have their own spoiler free review, meanwhile Outpost Skaro have a more open and fact-packed review of the episode.  | ||

| Posted: 14 May 2010 05:59 AM PDT Episode 11 of the current series of Doctor Who has been confirmed on the BBC website as being titled The Lodger - and interestingly is based on a Gareth Roberts comic strip from 2006.
The Lodger is one of the last episodes to be recorded, and is also the episode in which James Corden – best known to TV viewers as Smithy from the puzzlingly popular Gavin & Stacey – guests with Smith, and it also featured a football match. Dedicated Doctor Who fans will know that Matt Smith had early hopes of being a footballer that were dashed through injury. Roberts' previous scripts for the series include The Unicorn and the Wasp and The Shakespeare Code, so expect plenty of smug in jokes and humour. The Lodger airs on Saturday, 10th June.  | ||

Want to know how they made the Weeping Angels? The Magazine goes behind the scenes at The Time of the Angels and Flesh and Stone shoot and finds out all the details. Plus a preview this week's episode, Amy's Choice. Find out what the Doctor discovers when he visits Amy and Rory five years in their future. Also in the magazine: • FREE Doctor Who stationery set! • Win your very own life-size Weeping Angel • 10 essential facts about Amy and Rory http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com   |
Like Blink before it, The Lodger is based on a strip – this time a Roberts strip from Doctor Who Magazine in which the Tenth Doctor stays with Mickey Smith for a week while the TARDIS drifts without him.
Alongside some lightly spoilery material – the interview features some insight by Arthur into the relationship between the three travellers – there is also some amusing stuff such as Darvill describing his mum's reaction to his casting, as well as his pleasure at working with Matt Smith again.| 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 |
