| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 08:05 AM PDT Finally from Character comes the Doctor Who figure collection that every fan has been waiting for – all eleven incarnations to date of the last Time Lord! Described as "the ultimate Doctor Who collectors set", this collection features all eleven incarnations of the Doctor presented in an impressive TARDIS display box, which includes a small bio on each incarnation. Intended for ages 5 years and over, I think it more likely the 35 years and older brigade will be the main purchasers of this superb collection! As you should see from the image above, the collection features a considerable rarity – the Eighth Doctor, as played by Paul McGann in the 1996 TV Movie and on Big Finish audios since then. Here's the full list: William Hartnell 1963–1966 The collection also includes the colour versions of the First and Second Doctors (William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton) – these were initially released in both colour and black and white – as well as a single-headed version of the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) and original outfits for the Third and Sixth Doctors (Jon Pertwee and Colin Baker). With an RRP of £49.99, this collection is available from Forbidden Planet for £46.49 from Sunday, 8th August and can be preordered now!  | ||

| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 05:07 AM PDT Kasterborous is saddened to report that renowned set designer David Myerscough- Jones has passed away at the age of 75.
As well as creating sets for numerous BBC produced opera's he also worked on various Doctor Who serials. His first was The Web of Fear (1968) starring Patrick Troughton for which Myerscough-Jones had to recreate the tunnels of the London Underground due to the high fee the real tube station was demanding. So detailed was the set he created that the BBC actually received a letter of complaint from London Underground themselves, complaining that the corporation had filmed on their property without permission! David also worked on The Ambassadors of Death (1970) starring Jon Pertwee and then returned two years later to deliver excellent set designs of stately mansions and futuristic control rooms in Day of the Daleks (1972). Described as a modest man with a "disarming sense of humour", Myerscough-Jones' work was acclaimed on an international level, after making a name for himself in 1969 when designing the set of Benjamin Britten's opera Peter Grimes. David Myerscough-Jones was married to Pelo Cumpston, with whom he had a son and three daughters. Obituaries can be found in the following publications:  | ||
| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 04:54 AM PDT  What an interesting little story. I was pleased to see that the second 'guest writer' slot in this season came up with something which felt a little more like Doctor Who than the earlier Dream Lord one. Richard Curtis of course has a great track record, but this could have resulted in something starring Hugh Grant and Rene Zelwegger, involving a romantic intrigue, missed opportunities, and of course a wedding ... but instead we got a Scottish Vincent Van Gogh fighting an invisible chicken.That's a little unfair perhaps, as the monster was apparently more based around the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, but the head was very chicken-like, and the fact that it was invisible and made sort of squarking noises made me imagine something like a giant Big Bird-like creature off of Sesame Street. Van Gogh, however, was something of a revelation. Completely brilliantly played by Tony Curren, he was totally believable. From the moment he first appeared, looking exactly like the Dutch artist, he held the screen. I loved his interactions with Amy and the Doctor, sympathised for his depression, and cheered him on in the gallery at the end. Curren nailed it completely. I even loved his question to Amy, asking if she came from Holland too as she had the same accent as he! Obviously the TARDIS translation circuits are a little fritzed, making Dutch sound like Scottish in translation. The flow of the story was gentle, but nicely paced, and the whole invisible chicken thing was a bit of a red herring really (lots of animals in this blog). The meat of the episode was the final ten minutes which had me crying both times I watched it ... moving and respectful, brilliantly acted, superbly paced and played ... it's testament to what Doctor Who can do given the right material. Bill Nighy's cameo was equally excellent ... perfectly pitched by the actor, and totally believable. In fact there wasn't anything really duff about the episode at all ... except for the chicken perhaps. Even the music was bearable!  One thing I did puzzle over: right at the start, we see a cornfield and Van Gogh painting it, with a trail left by an invisible monster wending through. We are then told that this was one of the last pictures that Van Gogh painted before his death? But then the Doctor and Amy go back to a year before his death and kill the monster ... yet the painting still has the monster trail in it at the end ... but the monster was dead by this point, so why did Van Gogh paint it like that? As I say, not really important, but it confused me.Overall though, a lovely episode, touching all the right nerves. Next week we have that James Cordon off of Gavin and Stacy in a house. Personally I don't really get why he is so flavour of the year at the moment ... but we shall see how he fares.   | ||

It is to be hoped that the majority of viewers would prefer to see a television show meticulously produced to provide thrills and spills of the time travelling variety, rather than the hyperbole and pointless speculation provided by pundits, but time will tell. Whatever the case, diehard Whovians need not fear missing any real footie action, with Doctor Who finishing bang on time for kickoff at 19:30. No divided loyalties then. Come on England!  | ||

| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 02:56 AM PDT Not long to go before The Lodger hits our screens and SFX are again teasing us with a tantalising preview of what's to come.
Lets get this out of the way first: Does James Corden ruin everything? Surprisingly (well if you're not a fan of the ever-present, lowest common denominator Gavin and Stacey star) the episode isn't another Love & Monsters, in fact SFX have called his performance 'quite likable'. It maybe faint praise but it's a relief nonetheless. The list of twenty (twenty!) points hints at recurring sayings and characters with last weeks guest star set to make a few appearances – if you've seen the trailer you'll no doubt have noticed the Van Gogh lobby card on Craig Owens fridge. Even the Doctors previous incarnations which have all made an appearance at some point get another look in:
Even a particularly popular phase is used again though this seems like a two horse race between 'Geronimo!" and "Bowties are cool". Not much is revealed about this weeks enemy though at some point:
Ladies may have already spotted it amongst the recently released gallery of images but, for the rest of us, there's a "particularly revealing moment" for Matt Smith fans. In the tradition of Midnight this episode is a companion- lite story, leaving most of the heavy lifting to the Doctor though at some point: "Amy discovers something." Whether or not that something helps answer the recent question on Kasterborous in which it is argued that Amy Pond has yet to fulfill the character we were promised in The Eleventh Hour remains to be seen – but I wouldn't be surprised if Rory's name wasn't uttered at some point. Head over to SFX to get the scoop; meanwhile, don't forget these funny clips from the episode. The Lodger airs at 18:45 on Saturday simultaneously on BBC 1 and BBC HD.  | ||

| James Corden is Not the Doctor Posted: 11 Jun 2010 01:35 AM PDT
To do so, drag your cursor over to What's On TV, who have published a brief interview with the sitcom performer about his character, his opinion of the script, his thoughts on the idea of returning to the show post-Lodger, and, when asked whether he thought he should have been in Matt Smith's boots, this:
Don't get me wrong; some of the shortlists that appeared in the press before Smith was officially announced as the new Doctor contained some fantastic talent, including Bill Nighy from last week's Vincent and the Doctor, but the person who thought up the possibility of Corden in the role could not have been quite right in the head. Love him or hate him, it's difficult to deny that Corden's personality and acting style simply isn't the Doctor's, even when you account for the fact that the Doctor has been known to radically change the way he behaves (the transition from Peter Davison to Colin Baker suddenly comes to mind). It's good to see that Corden agrees. The Lodger begins at 6:45PM tomorrow on BBC1 and BBC HD, and stars Matt Smith as the Doctor, James Corden as Craig Owens, and Karen Gillan as Amy Pond. At least, I think Karen's there. Not been in any previews much this week, has she? Sort of reminds me of this.  | ||
| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 01:31 AM PDT All 11 Doctors together at one time is something to make any Fans hearts race faster. this time though it's because they are being released as an 11 figure boxed set for the first time. The set may become one of the most sought after items this year after the 11th Doctors Sonic Screwdriver. Mainly by hardcore fans and some not so hardcore fans, 1st big point being that obviously Paul McGann's 8th Doctor is part of the set, and Tom Bakers 4th Doctor is in his season 15 garb.  | ||

| Posted: 10 Jun 2010 11:53 PM PDT News on the latest series of Torchwood is starting to circle around various news corporations and Wales Online is pitching in as well!
As previously stated, John Barrowman and Eve Myles will return as Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper respectively. It has also been confirmed that the new series will not air until 2011, which is good news as it gives the Eleventh Doctor room to put a stamp on (what is after all) his universe. It's a co-production between BBC Wales, BBC Worldwide and Starz (an American channel). Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner will be Executive Producers and Davies will write one or more of the episodes. There will be no return for ill-fated Ianto Jones and as yet there is no confirmation if we will see a return of the Torchwood Hub, last seen in Torchwood: Children of Earth blown up into little bits. A spokesperson for the show commented on where the show may be set:
He went on to state that Cardiff would not be written out of the series. What we're looking at is the rebirth of a show that struggled to find its feet at points but proved ultimately popular and only needed a few tweaks to make it a flagship show. With a worldwide setting and a new angle to look at the series from this could prove to be the making of Torchwood. This is similar with what happened to Doctor Who in 1966, 1970, 1980 and 2005 when the show went through tweaks and changes, so start getting excited!  | ||

Issue 1 includes some wonderful articles from a very talented and knowledgeable bunch with such gems as:
Born on September 15th 1934 in Lancashire, he was educated at Bickerton House School before enrolling in the local school of art. In London, he achieved a diploma with a distinction in stage design and after working at Bernard Miles's Mermaid Theatre in London between 1960 and 1966 before beginning work with the BBC
Scheduling nightmare or audience magnet? That's what we're up against with this week's episode of Doctor Who. Just take a look at the schedule – ITV start coverage of England's first fixture in the World Cup against the U.S.A. at 18:15, while over on BBC 1, Doctor Who is due to air at 18:45. Will viewers prefer to tune in to see James Corden in a kickabout with former Nottingham Forest and Leicester City youth player Matt Smith, or indulge in the pre-match waffle provided by ITV?
The episode sees the Doctor having to pass himself off as a regular Joe to solve the mystery of Aickman Road, sharing a flat with Craig Owens (James Corden) which contains a staircase that people go up, but never come down.
Whether you like him or not, you're going to have to deal with James Corden of Gavin & Stacey and the media hype surrounding him until at least tomorrow evening, when The Lodger airs, so you might as well find out how he liked his work on the next-to-last story in this season of Doctor Who.
People around the world have been trying to work out what will happen in the fourth series of their beloved show and so a few un-spoilery facts have been released.
