| River Song Pandorica Set - Toy Exclusive Posted: 25 Jul 2011 05:26 PM PDT Forbidden Planet have teamed up with Character Options for another Exclusive Doctor Who Toy. The River Song Pandorica Set features River Song (complete with gun accessory) with the Pandorica Chair (as seen in 5.12: The Pandorica Opens & 5.13: The Big Bang). Of all the people who have travelled or will travel with the Doctor, River Song is the most enigmatic of them all. She always seems to be one step ahead of the Doctor, even when he’s in her past. Nobody has been able to figure out how River knows the Doctor so well, although there have been plenty of guesses! Although River is a force to be reckoned with, she sometimes needs the Doctor’s help – whether it’s against the Vashta Nerada or the Weeping Angels, or any of the other foes they have faced, or even will face in future. Confused? It will all become clear... one day... Legend has it that the Pandorica is a prison, a cage to contain the most feared warrior in the universe. But it’s all a lie – the Pandorica is a box created to contain just one person – the Doctor. When his TARDIS exploded, all parts of time and space were wiped out, never having existed. The massed armies of all the Doctor’s foes – Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and others banded together and created the legends of the Pandorica, and then locked him inside it. But the Pandorica energy was a restorative, it could bring things back to life, and the Doctor piloted the Pandorica into the heart of his exploding TARDIS and set off Big Bang 2, rebooting the entire universe. + The River Song Pandorica Set is released on 22nd August 2011, priced &ound;22.99. + Preorder this product from Forbidden Planet!

| Posted: 25 Jul 2011 08:47 AM PDT He might be busy starring in Hollywood horror franchise reboots and Doctor Who DVD extras, but former Doctor Who star David Tennant still loves the show enough to drop everything when the 50th anniversary comes around… The man we call Ten was chatting to Total Film recently and revealed that although he's ready to make a return to Doctor Who for any upcoming anniversaries, he hasn't yet been asked. Not officially, anyway.
Despite what some fans might think about the way he's distanced himself from the show in the last couple of years, David remains proud of his years in the TARDIS.
Incidentally, new sitcom This is Jinsy, whose pilot debuted on BBC Three but has a full series heading to Sky Atlantic later in the year features David Tennant as "a camp wedding organiser" in "gold trousers and a hairpiece."
Other Whovian guest stars in the series will include Catherine Tate (Donna Noble) and Simon Callow (Charles Dickens).

| Posted: 25 Jul 2011 07:35 AM PDT Today has been full of exciting news. Doctor Who will be back next month, Karen Gillan will return for series 7, and two new trailers have launched with appearances from the Silence, Cybermen and a very sad-but-creepy clown. Furthermore, the BBC website has released a guide to the remaining episodes with the title of episode ten: The Girl Who Waited. No prizes for guessing who that's about. Amy was left seeking therapy after a blue police box fell out of the sky in 1996. Twelve years later, she saw her Raggedy Doctor again when he stopped the Earth being blown up by the Atraxi. But then he went off again for a "quick" hop to the moon. Which took two years. Amy Pond is definitely The Girl Who Waited. But could this be a case of smoke and mirrors? You never know when Steven Moffat's concerned! The Girl Who Waited is written by Tom MacRae (The Rise of the Cybermen/ The Age of Steel) and directed by Nick Hurran (The Prisoner), and is bookended by Mark Gatiss' Night Terrors and Toby Whithouse's The God Complex. MacRae, who also wrote The Crash of the Elysium, recently said to The Telegraph:
Matt Smith also told Wired that "Karen puts in the performance of her life" in the "mad, trippy episode."  | ||

| Posted: 25 Jul 2011 04:58 AM PDT Our latest review from Torchwood: Miracle Day concerns the third episode, Dead of Night. Reviewed by our American Associate Editor Brian A. Terranova, this review contains spoilers that might upset your viewing if read before watching. Tread carefully! Three episodes into Torchwood: Miracle Day and you would expect that things would be moving on in a forward direction to get to the meat of the overall story and to be fair they do seem to be, very slowly and with detours. Episode one had me interested for more. Episode two made me feel pretty much the same, but needed to go a bit faster into the story. Episode three has so far made me feel, inattentive. I watched the whole of the episode looking past it trying to figure out other things to do and places to be. Was I in the wrong frame of mind to be watching this story or was this episode a bit of a nonevent? As the story moves on it becomes apparent that the drug companies, or more so one specifically known as Phicorp, has known about Miracle Day for at least a year and are also contenders for being the people behind it. Ok, we're getting somewhere, now we're moving forward, but wait, Jack? Rex? Where are you guys going? What the heck? The new Torchwood team – who can't agree if they are the new Torchwood team and in all fairness I can understand that – start out with the best of intentions trying to figure out the mystery behind Miracle Day but then quickly take one of those detours I mentioned while Jack goes and explores, well, what Jack explores best, sex. And to be fair his own mortality. But really? The whole world is plagued by lack of death and the population is growing every second so every second counts, but Jack has time for a pit stop for some 'personal attention'? (And as a side note, did Jack really need to find someone who looked like him? I mean this guy it totally in love with himself) Rex the same? At least Rex had an excuse, find a doctor he could trust to treat his wounds and then stay for something extra. Even still, it just feels out of place given the grand scale of the situation the Earth is in. At least Gwen and Esther had their hearts in the right place though by wanting to check in on their families, something you would expect in a time of crisis. And while I will conceit that in times of major disaster some people think to live life as if today is the last day of their lives, which Jack and Rex seem to have done, Torchwood is the only team in the world who can stop this threat and there are only four of them, you'd think they would be a bit more concentrated on their tasks. I don't want to sound like it's all bad though, the cinematography is top notch and the basic story is very interesting. The characters are on the whole more than just basic need characters, they all have realistic sides to them. But if the pace of this episode is anything to go by I can't help wondering if 10 episodes was a bit too much for one story. The production team didn't forget it's roots either, as there is a nice Doctor Who reference with a medicine warehouse being "bigger on the inside than the outside". A nice little touch that means something to the fans but still doesn't exclude new viewers. The show stealer does seem to be Bill Pullman as Oswald Danes, which in many ways disturbs me. The character is a convicted pedophile and murderer and yet he somehow has become the savior of the planet and the spokes person of the new world and Phicorp? What the hell is that about? I know that the word is in a messed up place right now, but how could anyone worship a pedophile and murderer? Oh but Bill Pullman plays this very well and very fleshed out, but it feels very wrong. Perhaps it should, maybe that's the point, but to what end? I expect this is where part of the real interest lies as we move forward to the rest of the series. So far the only character who feels like she stepped out of a Russell T. Davis Doctor Who series opener is Lauren Ambrose as Jilly Kitzinger. Everything about her , writing and acting, says she knows more than she is saying and while the people around her don't seem to notice it's clear that we the viewer aren't meant to miss it. There is no depth of character there. Hopefully that will come. Things do pick up with the team when they go in to action again towards the end on a recon mission, but as I pointed out, this would have been better places earlier on in the story and removing the padding to make this Miracle Day a 10 episode story. I hate to be a nay sayer but I had doubts about a 10 part story from day one but even I didn't expect such an early lull. Episodes one and two had me interested to see more, hopefully episode four will continue that trend.  | ||

| Valhalla and The Harvest - a Fiver! Posted: 25 Jul 2011 04:30 AM PDT Further to our one-week Sixth Doctor offer (still available until Friday!), the official Doctor Who Facebook page is now celebrating the Seventh Doctor, so we've joined in the festivities by making two of Sylvester McCoy's early adventures on audio available in our Big Finish for a Fiver section! The quirky Valhalla from Doctor Who stalwart Marc Platt finds the Doctor searching for a new job on the titular capital of the moon Callisto. But he quickly finds there's a lot going on beneath the surface - and the surface isn't that joyous a place to be in the first place... In The Harvest, the Doctor and Ace pay a visit to St Gart's hospital, where they befriend nurse Thomas Hector Schofield - or Hex to his friends - and try to figure out what dark secret is lurking on the thirty-first floor. Written by Dan Abnett, it's the story that brings a new companion into the fold and features some very familiar old enemies... These two titles will be available for only a fiver for two weeks; this offer ends on Friday 5 August.  | ||

The image, which features The Doctor in a brand new coat, appears to have an Egyptian feel, and also fetures River Song, Amy and Rory. + Series 6: Part 2 begins on Saturday 27th August on BBC One & BBC America. [Source: BBC America Doctor Who website]  | ||
| Your guide to the rest of Series 6 Posted: 25 Jul 2011 01:40 AM PDT The BBC Doctor Who website have published a brief guide to the rest of Series Six of Doctor Who. The guide (which also reveals the title for episode ten: 6.10: The Girl Who Waited), is printed below, courtesy of the BBC Doctor Who website: Episode 8: Let's Kill Hitler Written by Steven Moffat The gang's all back! The Doctor, Amy, River and Rory return in what promises to be an action-packed belter of an adventure. So far the following details have emerged: 'In the desperate search for Melody Pond, the TARDIS crash lands in 1930s Berlin, bringing the Doctor face to face with the greatest war criminal in the Universe. And Hitler. The Doctor must teach his adversaries that time travel has responsibilities - and in so doing, learns a harsh lesson in the cruellest warfare of all. We also know it features Albert Welling as Hitler and is directed by Richard Senior, previously at the helm for Time and Space plus the Doctor Who pre-title sequence for this year's NTA awards. Episode 9: Night Terrors Written by Mark Gatiss Mark Gatiss has previously written spooky episodes including The Unquiet Dead and The Idiot's Lantern, but he promises that Night Terrors features some of the scariest moments he's ever dreamt up! The adventure has a modern day setting and features a little boy who has a fear of something... Can the Doctor help him? Episode 10: The Girl Who Waited Written by Tom MacRae Tom MacRae's previous credits include The Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel plus the critically acclaimed The Crash of the Elysium. This is his first television adventure for the Eleventh Doctor and it's directed by Nick Hurran who was recently at the helm for the updated version of the cult classic, The Prisoner. Episode 11: The God Complex Written by Toby Whithouse We know the adventure is set in a hotel and features an alien called Gibbis played by David Walliams. Again, the episode is directed by Nick Hurran and as writer Toby Whithouse was behind School Reunion and The Vampires of Venice, we know we've got something special to look forward to! Episode 12 Written by Gareth Roberts Craig Owens is back! The popular character from last year's The Lodger returns and judging from the trailer for eps 8-13 he's getting closer than ever to the Doctor! The adventure is written by Gareth Roberts whose credits include Attack of the Graske, The Unicorn and the Wasp and, of course, The Lodger. Episode 13 Written by Steven Moffat The big finale! This one remains shrouded in mystery but Karen Gillan has promised us that the series will contain 'possibly the biggest twist so far'... Is it possible that this is the adventure that delivers it? Steven Moffat penned last year's incredible finale but it's probable that this adventure will conclude the series with a bigger bang than ever! [Source: BBC Doctor Who website]  | ||
