Veteran Designer returns to Doctor Who

Posted: 30 Jun 2010 09:02 AM PDT

Veteran costume designer Barbara Kidd returns to Doctor Who this year, when she takes over costume design duties on the Christmas Special and the 2011 series.

Barbara Kidd worked on the series at the start of her career, creating costumes as early as the 1973 Jon Pertwee story, Frontier in Space. She was a regular on the series throughout the mid seventies working on The Green Death, Invasion of the Dinosaurs and The Monster of Peladon before moving on to a new Doctor in the guise of Tom Baker for The Ark in Space, The Sontaran Experiment, Genesis of the Daleks and Pyramids of Mars. Her final contribution was for the Peter Davison story Kinda.

Kidd is now one of the most respected costume designers working in British Television. She has won an Emmy for her work on Little Dorrit in 2008 and a BAFTA award for her work on Nicholas Nickleby in 2001. She has recently been working on Wallander.

Doctor Who will also have a new producer from the Christmas episode in the form of Sanne Wohlenberg. Wohlenberg has also recently worked on Wallander and has also produced The Whistleblowers and Murphy's Law.

Wrong Figures, Wrong Answer

Posted: 30 Jun 2010 08:30 AM PDT

The Daily Mail online has reported claims that this year's series of Doctor Who has lost roughly 1.2 million viewers and only managed an average of 6 million. The article also mentions that David Tennant's last series in 2008 managed to average 7.2.

Doctor Who - The Eleventh HourBafflingly, the article comments that the 2010 series opener only managed to attract 8 million viewers; however, it was actually over ten. This seems to point out that the writer hasn't done the correct research and shouldn't be piping up in the first place!

Thankfully, the BBC has noted that many viewers recorded the episodes to watch later or caught up with them by using BBC iPlayer. The writer of the piece in question, Paul Revoir, fails to point out efficiently that during the 2008 run of Doctor Who, BBC iPlayer was used far less to gather ratings evidence as it was launched in the same year and used by far less people.

The article also goes on to question if Matt Smith is a better Doctor than David Tennant, comments about the "sexing up" of the new series and also about fans displeasure of the new theme tune.

If you haven't got anything good or practical (or accurate) to say, keep it down!

The Telegraph website also published an article about the decline in ratings but was far fairer about the reasons why this may have been happening.

Moffat’s Favourite?

Posted: 30 Jun 2010 06:58 AM PDT

The Eleventh Hour? Flesh and Stone? Or The Big Bang? It's not just viewers who struggle to pick their favourite Who episodes from this season.

Being a polite chap, Big Boss of Doctor Who Steven Moffat told his son Joshua (who interviewed him via a video uploaded to YouTube under the alias 'armytedd') just after Saturdays The Big Bang had aired that he can't decide his favourite and changes his mind with each new episode.

"Well yeah but you see, that's not my judgement, other people make that judgement. Other people decide if it was good or not and that's quite a nerve-wrecking feeling, so suddenly it's out of your hands. An hour ago that felt like all mine, my secret, now everybody else has seen it and I don't know what they're going to think. I hope they are going to like it."

Like most Who fans Moffat believes that time between the opening and closing credits is sacrosanct.

"Obviously being a long-term Doctor Who fan I go inside and watch it and get very grumpy if people interrupt me!"
