Posted: 08 Apr 2011 09:12 AM PDT With the impending departure of Steve Carrell on the American version of The Office this month, someone's going to need to step in as the Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and who better to do it than former Doctor Who companion Catherine Tate? According to BBC America's Anglophenia, Tate is set to be one of an army of guest stars in the show's season finale on May 19th, many of whom are in the running to be Steve Carrell's replacement! Up against the ex-Donna will be Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond) and James Spader (Pretty in Pink). Also set to appear in the finale, but not in the running to be the new Office boss are Will Ferrell, who will conclude a 4-part story arc in the episode, and original UK star Ricky Gervais, reprising his role as David Brent. Here's hoping American network NBC has the confidence in Catherine Tate that they couldn't seem to find with David Tennant, as no doubt she would make a superb addition to the cast! | ||
Posted: 08 Apr 2011 08:46 AM PDT Doctor Who Series 6 writers Toby Whithouse and Mark Gatiss appear in the new edition of the Radio Times this week, discussing TV's love of horror. More and more new TV series feature a horror element, with the popular ITV series Marchlands recently doing a fine job of capturing the spirit of many older movies and series. Spearking to the Radio Times, Being Human creator and Doctor Who scriptwriter Toby Whithouse recalls how much the industry has changed since he became a writer.
Meanwhile Gatiss recalls his childhood, when there were scares aplenty on TV and in cinemas.
On sale now, this is the edition labelled 9-15 April 2011, featuring nature presenter Chris Packham on the cover. | ||

Doctor Who in Comics: 1962 – 2011 Posted: 08 Apr 2011 06:41 AM PDT Here's a rare treat for Aficionados of the comic strip adventures of the Doctor – London's Cartoon Museum has announced an exhibition of artwork from the Time Lord's comics starting with the first appearances in TV Comic back in 1964 right through to 2011. While many of you might be more familiar with the comic strips in Doctor Who Magazine (and earlier Doctor Who Weekly/Monthly) and Doctor Who Adventures – not to mention IDW's superb series – the Doctor had a fascinating run of occasionally uncharacteristic adventures in TV Comic, Countdown and TV Action during the 1960s and 1970s.
Titled Doctor Who in Comics: 1962 – 2011, the event is planned to spread across three galleries, with images likely to feature the work of names such as Dave Gibbons, John Ridgway, Richard Piers Rayner, Lee Sullivan and Adrian Salmon among many others. More information on event which runs from 27th July – 31st October 2011 can be found at www.cartoonmuseum.org (Via DownTheTubes | Thanks to Matt) | ||

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 05:24 AM PDT Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's dry, witty tale of manners turned into a hot, wet Colin Firth love in (which if you're a lazy GCSE student definitely happens in the novel and you should write EXTENSIVELY on in your exam) thanks to the BBC, is not just a timeless classic but the origin for the Sixth Doctor. Colin Baker caught Mr Darcy's eye from across the dining hall and was smitten. For his intrepretation of the much maligned Sixth Doctor Colin turned to Austen and Andrew Davies' TV classic:
Sound familiar? Speaking to The Dominion Post on the eve of his appearance at the brilliantly named Armageddon Expo Baker has been reliving his time as the universes defender, including his feelings on Michael Grade's eventual 'postponement' and his firing from the long running series:

Wondercon Doctor Who Panel (Video) Posted: 08 Apr 2011 02:33 AM PDT If you weren't lucky enough to make it to Wondercon last weekend, perhaps you've got 40 minutes to spare to watch the Doctor Who panel, which featured writer Neil Gaiman, director Toby Haynes and actor Mark Sheppard? It was at this event that we discovered how Gaiman felt about having to see his episode – The Doctor's Wife – dropped from the 2010 run in favour of production this time around.
As you may know, the episode features Suranne Jones (Coronation Street, Vincent, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Single Father) as Idris, a character that Gaiman describes as being:
What's also interesting, before you go an hit play, is that Gaiman describes it as "almost a River free episode". We don't know what it means either. | ||

Doctor Who – The BBC Radio Episodes Posted: 08 Apr 2011 12:50 AM PDT Assembled all together, this is Doctor Who – radio style. OK there's nothing new here for fans to enjoy but it's nice to have them all in one tidy set. A bare bones release it may be but contained is some real Doctor Who magic that's not bound or restricted by budget and special effects. The Paradise Of DeathWhen a horrific death occurs at Space World theme park, the Brigadier and U.N.I.T. are called in – accompanied by the Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith. Placed between the TV adventures The Time Warrior and Invasion Of The Dinosaurs, The Paradise Of Death is a heady mix of old meets new with the some of the classic U.N.I.T family battling a corrupt intergalactic megalomaniac. I recall hearing this for the first time during the 30th anniversary year and loving the adventure. It's a traditional feeling story with Barry Letts composing a fan friendly tale without alienating the casual listener. The direction from Phil Clark is solid, though he relies too heavily on the enthusiastic score a bit too much.
Pertwee, Sladen and Courtney slide easily into their respective roles and are obviously having a shed-load of fun. On a negative note, Episode 3 is split in half, shame really. This adventure was followed up in 1996 with…. The Ghosts Of N-SpaceThe Brigadier's great uncle Marion seems unsurprised by the specters that haunt his ancient Sicilian castle. But when the Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith come to investigate, they find themselves in great danger. Broadcast only a few months before Pertwee's death and with the anticipation of the TV Movie in the air, I had everything crossed that this 6-parter would be of the same quality as the previous Doctor Who radio adventure. Shame then as it's a bit of a mish-mash of ideas and concepts that just don't gel at all. For starters Jeremy Fitzoliver returns and although the character has been toned down slightly he still is incredibly irritating. It is a more mature story with a darker edge than TPOD and the three main actors are just as reliable as ever. It's just that it all seems a bit forced, story wise with some bizarre over acting from the supporting cast which includes Sandra Dickinson and Harry Towb. But if you overlook these niggles then you can sit back and enjoy Pertwee in his element and reflect that this was the last time he would officially play the Doctor. By the way, from a TV continuity point of view it can be placed between Death To The Daleks and The Monster Of Peladon. Doctor Who And The PescatonsThe TARDIS's arrival on a lonely beach at night marks the beginning of a terrifying adventure on present-day Earth for the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane. According to the sleeve notes this, in all intents and purposes, is an official Doctor Who story. Written by Victor Pemberton, the man behind Fury From The Deep, he does an excellent job capturing the essence of the Fourth Doctor as well as Sarah Jane Smith. The banter and humour they both shared onscreen is evident here helping you feel comfortable and give it a positive feeling. Placed between The Seeds Of Doom and The Masque Of Mandragora it was originally released in 1976 and I recall seeing it in my local Woolworths though I didn't buy it for some reason. This is a shame as this is a cracking adventure with Baker as the Doctor as we all wanted him to be, before he became a bombastic caricature of himself. He describes the action with urgency and drama, the tentacle sequence in particular is gripping, if you pardon the pun. The atmospheric, electronic score gives the feeling of the era and the subtle effects don't drown out the dialogue. A great adventure. Exploration EarthThe Fourth Doctor takes Sarah Jane Smith back in time to witness the Earth's development: only to find that the existence of Mankind itself is in danger. "Radio 4 VHF for Schools". I'm old enough to remember sitting in assembly listening to Radio school broadcasts, shame ours never included this one though. Forming part of a BBC schools radio series, this was a great piece of cross curricular TV/radio programming. Transmitted just days after The Hand Of Fear this is a great way of introducing children to the complexities of Earth's construction. Though the Doctor and Sarah Jane seemed to be squeezed into the idea it's a fun idea subtly educating the listener, the best way in my experience. Edutainment if you like! Maybe if I'd been exposed to this in 1976 I wouldn't have failed my Science C.S.E. a few years later, maybe not. Whatever Happened to…Susan?A tongue in cheek look at how Susan's life might have turned out after her adventures with the Doctor. Forming part of a series that looked at the lives of fictional characters this checks out Sarah's life after she left the Doctor. This is a bit of a curio as Jane Asher and not Carole Ann Ford plays Susan, likewise other characters are played by different actors. Yes in the instance of Barbara but others such as Ian Chesterton (James Grout) and Jo Grant (Eva Haddon billed as Jo Jones) seems a tad wrong. Andrew Mourby's light-hearted script is OK but it takes too many liberties with the source which I'll leave for up to you to discover and see if you agree. Listen out for some canon errors as well such as when Ian and Barbara were returned to Earth. A nice idea but to me it doesn't quite deliver. SlipbackThe TARDIS materializes in the service ducting of the Vipod Mor, a huge craft floating in deep space. The Sixth Doctor and Peri find something nasty lurking there, and the past and future history of the entire universe is at risk. When the show went into hiatus for 18 months this little adventure appeared on Pirate Radio 4, a magazine programme that was sent out during the school holidays. This six-part romp is a bit of a guilty pleasure. It really shouldn't work and the plot isn't exactly original but thanks to some solid acting from Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant proving their TV incarnations were ruined by a bad choice in attire and not just lame scripts. Valentine Dyall lends his voice to what would turn out to be his final performance though Jane Carr's incarnation as a computer with character does push the listener's stamina at times. Episode length is below ten minutes each but Eric Saward makes sure his story moves at a smart pace. Effects don't over power the dialogue and really add to the enjoyment of the story. So then this set highlights what a great medium radio is for the series and shows just how a great Doctor Colin Baker was/is when given the right material. The set has an RRP of £60.00 and can be ordered via the AudioGO website, or you can get it at an almost 50% discount from Amazon for just £31.79! | ||

Posted: 07 Apr 2011 10:56 PM PDT The company has also released details on the DVD features for Earthstory (detailed below). The box itself has an air of finality about it: The Awakening brings an end the adventures of the Fifth Doctor, being the final story of this era to be released on DVD; The Gunfighters is the last complete story before William Hartnell departed the role (The Tenth Planet has yet to appear on DVD, but is missing its final episode). Earthstory Release Date: 20th June 2011 (available for pre-order) The Gunfighters Starring William Hartnell as Doctor Who, with Jackie Lane as Dodo and Peter Purves as Stephen. Written by Donald Cotton Directed by Rex Tucker Broadcast: 30th April - 21st May 1966 Take a trip to the Wild West in The Gunfighters, when the TARDIS arrives in Tombstone, Arizona in 1881. The Doctor, suffering from toothache, seeks out the local dentist - the notorious Doc Holliday. Tensions are running high between the feuding Clanton family and Doc Holliday, whilst the local lawman, Wyatt Earp, struggles to keep the peace. When legendary gunman Johnny Ringo comes to town, events start to escalate. Can the Doctor, Steven and Dodo do anything to stop the situation getting any worse? Or will there be a gunfight at the OK Corral? Special Features
The Awakening Starring Peter Davison as The Doctor, with Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka and Mark Strickson as Turlough Written by Eric Pringle Directed by Michael Owen Morris Broadcast: 19th-20th January 1984 The TARDIS has brought the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough to the picture postcard English village of Little Hodcome. Tegan has come to visit her grandfather - well known local historian Andrew Verny - but he seems to be missing. The residents of Little Hodcombe, led by the obsessive Sir George Hutchinson, are playing a vicious war game - an exact recreation of a battle of the English Civil War fought there in 1643. As each of the TARDIS crew witnesses a terrifying apparition from the past, the Doctor realises that he faces a far greater menace than the unstable Hutchinson. An ancient and alien force for evil is at work - one which will glory in the slaughter of them all... Special Features
