Posted: 10 Jul 2010 06:33 AM PDT The David Tennant news website has reported that several fake items that are meant to have been signed or owned by the star have been appearing on auction website Ebay for sale. Tennantnews commented:
The website details the various ways that you can pick up official Tennant merchandise without the risk of it being fake. You can find out the details at tennantnews.blogspot.com. And if you're thinking of trying to get hold of some "cheaper" merchandise, spare a thought for David who, according to The Sun, has had his earnings plummet from 2.5 million to 1.5 million in the first nine months of leaving Doctor Who. Since this information comes from the infamous red top paper, take it with a pinch of salt. | ||
Posted: 10 Jul 2010 04:00 AM PDT Courtesy of BBC America, here's a new video with actor James Corden (Gavin & Stacey) giving us the lowdown on his character Craig Owens, who appears in The Lodger, Episode 11 of the new series of Doctor Who. As US-based Doctor Who fans probably know, the show has been on a short independence day-inspired break – but that comes to an end tonight with The Lodger… You can also catch this clip at www.BBCAmerica.com. Don't forget, new episodes return to BBC America tonight with The Lodger at 8/9c – don't miss it! (Thanks to Nicole) | ||

Posted: 09 Jul 2010 06:14 AM PDT We are delighted to report that Rob Shearman's short story collection, Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical, has won the Readers' Award in the Edge Hill University Short Story competition. Judged by A-Level English students from the North West, Rob said of the accolade, "The short story is very non-commercialised. When you are nominated for a prize like this it is fantastic because you always hope that people will read your work and it is evidence that people not only read it but like it. "To win the Readers' Prize means so much to me because it raises the profile of what the short story is all about - it is readable and fun and builds a complete world. Knowing that my collection appealed to the younger generation is also thrilling because they are the writers of our tomorrow." Huge congratulations to Rob; and if you'd like to get your hands on a copy of his award-winning book, click the links for the hardback or paperback! | ||

Posted: 09 Jul 2010 04:57 AM PDT Final figures are now available for the BBC HD showing of Doctor Who: The Big Bang and give the episode an official rating on the channel of 0.58 million viewers. This, along with the previously reported figure of 6.12 million viewers on BBC One, gives the episode a total rating of 6.7 million viewers. Full details for the week are still not available, but it is likely this will make Doctor Who the 10th most watched programme of the week. Final figures for the whole series show that, despite recent press speculation, Doctor Who is still achieving remarkable ratings for the BBC and remains one of its most successful products. Once consolidated figures are published then the five series of the show, shown since the return in 2005, have all achieved remarkably similar average ratings of around 8 million viewers. Matt Smith's first series just out-rates David Tennant's first two series but comes behind Tennant's last series. The variable earlier start times given to Series 31 compared to recent series appear to have resulted in more of the audience recording the show for later viewing, meaning lower overnights, but balanced when final consolidated figures are published In terms of Chart position, once HD figures are included, Doctor Who has finished in the weekly top twenty throughout the series, with seven episodes finishing in the top ten. The high was 3rd place for The Eleventh Hour and the low was 20th for The Lodger, shown against World Cup football. The average chart placing was 12th, which again is higher that achieved by three of the previous four series. One of the big successes of the recent series has been the take up on iPlayer. This year was the first time the whole series has been available during its run. Over 2 million have now accessed The Eleventh Hour and it has become by far the highest accessed programme in the BBC iPlayer history. The iPlayer simply measures those who have accessed the programme and no data is available to covert this figure to ratings in the conventional sense. However the figure does give an indication of how popular the programme is with the audience. Full ratings for the series can be found in Gallifrey Base. | ||

Australian ratings for The Pandorica Opens Posted: 06 Jul 2010 02:48 AM PDT The 'fast-tracked' Doctor Who continues its strong ratings in Australia. TV Tonight reports that The Pandorica Opens averaged 890,000 viewers in the five major capital cities, again despite stiff competition from the commercial networks. Yet again it was the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's top-rating program of the day, rating higher than its popular Sunday 7pm news and Little Dorrit (the latter which only averaged 645,000 viewers in the five major capitals) being the eleventh highest rating program for the day overall. The corresponding Confidential Cutdown also rated an excellent 670,000 viewers in the five major capitals. | ||

Doctor Who news and rumours roundup Posted: 03 Jul 2010 03:51 AM PDT It's a week today since Series 5 (or Series 1 or Series 31, depending on which counting system you subscribe to) ended in the UK, yet it seems only yesterday that we were all eagerly anticipating Matt Smith and Steven Moffat's first season of Doctor Who. Viewers in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere still have the anticipation of what's to come (assuming you haven't seen the episodes over the Internet already and, assuming you haven't spoilered yourself with the deluge of articles appearing everywhere!). And a lot's happened in the seven days since the end of The Big Bang in the UK, when we found out that the crack in time ... oops, spoilers! But - be warned! - a hefty dose of salt may be needed before reading some of what follows ... Matt joined Orbital on stage at Glastonbury for "Dr Who", their rendition of the show's theme tune. Meanwhile, he had to put up with a lot of nonsense from the British tabloid press concerning so-called "falling ratings" - which doesn't actually appear to stand up to much scrutiny - and William Hill slashing the odds on him remaining on the show. Then, apparently, Moffat's script for the 2010 Christmas Special went missing and several of the writer's for next year were announced (see Digital Spy). On a positive note, as we reported on Wednesday, Barbara Kidd, who previously worked on Who episodes involving Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and Peter Davison, is returning to the show for the 2011 series. The monster line up for the Doctor Who Live tour details were confirmed and Neil Gaiman Tweeted that he'd completed his Who script. And, then there are the "facts" that Matt wants both Eric Cantona and Ian McKellen to appear in the show as baddies! See this article for more details. Last, but not least, is the revelation that Johnny Depp has "definitely" signed up to play the Doctor in a big-budget Hollywood movie, written by Russell T Davies and featuring the Daleks and the Ebola virus! There are masses of stories relating to this rumour, but this one on Digital Journal at least takes a more sober and detailed look, including on the history of Doctor Who movies, proposed and actual. Happy times and places! |
