Kopic's Doctor Who & Torchwood News


Remaining Series 6 Episode Titles

Posted: 25 Aug 2011 05:13 PM PDT

Radio Times have printed Steven Moffat's guide to the rest of Series 6, complete with all episode titles.

Episode 8: Let's Kill Hitler

Written by Steven Moffat

Amy and Rory have waited a long time for news of their daughter. Too long. But when they summon The Doctor, the consequence will change all their lives. The TARDIS crashes into Belin in the 1930's and they find themselves face to face not only with Hitler, but with a unique assassin from the distant future - and that's only the beginning. In the Fuhrer's office, at the heart of the Third Reich, The Doctor is in for one of the biggest shocks of his very long life...

Episode 9: Night Terrors

Written by Mark Gatiss

Horror in Doctor Who comes in many forms and many places, and a cry of distress reaches the TARDIS from the darkest and scariest place in universe. But where is it exactly? This story began with Mark Gatiss and me chatting on the set of Sherlock. "I'd like to do scary," he said. "Do you know where the scariest place in the universe is?" I've known Mark for a while. If he's decided to tell me where the scariest place in the universe is, I'd better listen. "Where?" I quavered from behind my rapid-deployment Doctor Who fear sofa. "A child's bedroom" he answered.

Parents of Britain - sorry, and good luck!

Episode 10: The Girl Who Waited

Written by Tom MacRae

Time Travel is more than just an element of Doctor Who - it's one of the main characters. I'm going to boast now and say that Tom MacRae's stylish and moving script is one of the best uses of time travel in any story anywhere - mind-blowing and heart-breaking in every twist and turn. The Doctor has been in Amy and Rory's life for a long while now - far longer than he ever intended. What if something were to go wrong?

When they step from the TARDIS into a strange white waiting room, they're all about to learn just how wrong time travel can go...

Episode 11: The God Complex

Written by Toby Whithouse

The brief to brilliant writer Toby Whithouse was just this - a hotel: make a hotel scary. All those corridors, all those identical rooms, those bleak and soulless bars and waiting rooms, that tinkling musak - surely all that was made for Doctor Who, where the scariest things of all come bleeding through the ordinary world.

If you've seen Toby's wonderful Being human, you've probably already decided he's a sick and twisted man. Doctor Who is delighted to confirm this simple truth for a BBC1 audience. (Oh, and do you have a ventriloquist dummy lurking somewhere in your house? Just asking, no reason...).

Episode 12: Closing Time

Written by Gareth Roberts

The Lodger was a surprise hit of last year's Doctor Who. It was a simple tale of a barmy Time Lord in a flatshare with a nice man called Craig. Except when you say one them's Matt Smith and the other is James Corden, then frankly you've got enough going on for a whole other series. I leapt at the chance of a sequel and writer Gareth Roberts leapt at the chance to take up his story again.

Events have moved on in Craig's life when The Doctor turns up on his doorstep for a second time; there's a terrible alien threat, of course, but never mind that - dear God, there's a BABY!

Episode 13: The Wedding of River Song

Written by Steven Moffat

"I don't want to marry you."

"I don't want to murder you."

And here it is at last - the episode with all the answers, as The Doctor journeys to Lake Silencio for his date with destiny. While I was writing this, my wife asked me, "What happens?" and when I frownedm and pondered my answer, she hurriedly added, "In one sentence. Quite a short one." I thought a moment and said, "The Doctor goes to his certain death - and it doesn't work out as well as he'd expected."

So welcome to what is, without doubt or serious competition, the wedding of the year! Wary reports indicate that it could make On Her Majesty's Secret Service look like a fairly successful honeymoon...

6.8: Let's Kill Hitler - DWO Spoiler Free Preview

Posted: 25 Aug 2011 04:35 PM PDT

DWO have seen 6.8: Let's Kill Hitler and have put our spoiler-free preview together:

It's been a nail-biting six weeks since we last saw new adventures of Doctor Who, and who could forget that jaw-droppingly awesome cliffhanger!?

Let's Kill Hitler picks things up some time after the events of A Good Man Goes to War, with Amy and Rory trying to get The Doctor's attention, in a great situation reversal to the Series 6 season opener.

The Doctor is still looking for River Song as all three of the TARDIS team get ready for the shock of their lives…in a corn field!!!

The episode feels quite filmic in places, and there's some fantastic direction that helps make use of the comedic scenes to full effect. The Doctor, Amy and Rory, (or rather Matt, Karen and Arthur) work so well together, and their unit makes for one of the best TARDIS crew combinations that the show has ever seen.

Those of you expecting the story to be an all-out World War II extravaganza, may be a little disappointed. Sure we get Hitler, and some great scenes involving Germany on the brink of War, but the real focus of this episode is River Song.

We get even more pay-off for the arc that has spanned the past couple of seasons, with a few more questions raised, which will hopefully be answered before the end of Series 6.

With two more episodes due from the show runner himself this season, Steven Moffat is showing no signs of tiring with either his cleverly imaginative story-writing or his love for the characters he has created.

Expect some new characters too. Mels, played by Nina Toussaint-White, shines in all of her scenes, which lift the lid on some clever background information from Amy and Rory's past, present and future. We also get to see a new organisation within the show, in the form of 'The Justice Department' - without giving too much away, you can't help feeling this is a new element to watch with great interest.

A final point worthy of note in this story is composer Murray Gold who provides a tremendous score for Let's Kill Hitler, which helps round off one of the strongest episodes in the season so far.

Five things to look out for...

1) A clever use for crop circles.

2) "Shut up ___, I'm focusing on a dress size"

3) "Guilt. Also Guilt. More Guilt"

4) A Sherlock-esque scene involving River and The Doctor.

5) We get to see the return of a certain blue diary.

Karen's Favourite Companion!

Posted: 25 Aug 2011 08:39 AM PDT

Anglophenia, the section of the BBC America website that deals with all television things British, has posted a video response from Karen Gillan gathered from questions by fans of Doctor Who via Facebook.

Matt Smith and Steven Moffat have also submitted responses but today Karen is up, with perhaps an obvious choice.

Facebook fan Paul Varga (surely he named himself after an Ice Warrior?) posed the question "which former companion most inspires Karen Gillan?"

Bless her cotton socks, her answer is succinct and to the point and includes a lot of praise for Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) and her relationship with the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) on screen. She gracefully skirts around the show's previous 26 years' worth of friends that the Doctor has accumulated!

Matt Smith went first a few days before, and in a touching clip stated that if he could choose one former companion to travel with from the Doctor's past it would be Sarah Jane Smith, played by the late, great Elizabeth Sladen. How lucky we all are that we got to see that event actually happen last year!

We also cover Doctor Who not once, but twice: first we have a discussion of the Let's Kill Hitler trailer, before moving into the realm of spoilers, and just what exactly constitutes one over the course of a 50 year old fictional universe.

Does the fact that Kasterborous is a Doctor Who fansite disavow any requirement to be sensitive about spoilers from episodes aired 25 years ago?

We're pretty pleased with the fact that using the clever player gadget above you can listen to our podKast right here on the Kasterborous website, but if you have some other means of enjoying our weekly discussions – perhaps a mobile media player – experienced podcast listeners can subscribe to our RSS feed or find us listed on iTunes, where we continue to await your reviews and ratings!

Episode Title News

Posted: 25 Aug 2011 04:11 AM PDT

With all the speculation that's going on right now in terms of what's going to happen next in Doctor Who (River is really the Rani! Omega is in charge of the Silence! The Pandorica is actually the Timelash!) it's pleasant to get a bit of clarification with some more official revelations.

Nothing big or to spoilerific but just some good clean conformation of upcoming episode titles for the remaining six episodes of this years' series.

As you're all aware, episode eight will be called Let's Kill Hitler. Following on from that and in respective numerical order, we have Night Terrors by Mark Gatiss, The Girl Who Waited by Tom MacRae, The God Complex by Toby Whithouse and Closing Time by Gareth Roberts.

Closing Time was codenamed "The Lodger Part Two" by Matt Smith, due to the return of James Corden as Craig and Daisy Haggard as Sophie who were in 2010's The Lodger. However, returning characters aside, this episode promises to be a different beast altogether as it sees the return of the Cybermen and for the first time on screen since 1975's Revenge of the Cybermen, Cybermats as well!

As for episode 13, the big, juicy, crowd-pleasing finale that is set to blow our minds clean out of our skulls, the title is yet to be officially revealed due in part to its revelatory nature.

There is a hint somewhere else within this site though, in a very recent article. Go and explore if you want…

Tom Baker Titles Revealed

Posted: 25 Aug 2011 03:03 AM PDT

Geoffrey Beevers is to return as the Master in the first season of The Fourth Doctor Adventures from Big Finish, alongside Tom Baker and Louise Jameson. Geoffrey previously played the role on television in The Keeper of Traken in 1981, and twice on audio in Dust Breeding and Master.

"It's great to have Geoffrey back as the Master," says executive producer Nicholas Briggs. "He is one of the loveliest actors I've ever worked with, and with him featuring in a really top-notch Alan Barnes script, our first series of adventures with Tom will end on a real high."

The season begins in January with Destination Nerva by Nicholas Briggs, in which the Doctor and Leela face a new enemy in familiar surroundings. The Renaissance Man by Justin Richards follows in February, while Leela makes a new ally in the warrior Boudicca in John Dorney's historical tale Wrath of the Iceni (March).

The Fourth Doctor has a rare conflict with his arch enemies in April in Energy of the Daleks by Nicholas Briggs; Mark Benton (Rose) guest stars as Jack Coulson, while Dan Starkey (A Good Man Goes to War) is Kevin Winston.

The TARDIS returns to 1970s Britain in Trail of the White Worm (May), while the season climaxes with an untitled story (June) – both are written by Alan Barnes.
