Doctor Who Christmas Special Spotted In BBC Holiday Promo [Video]

The New Doctor Who Christmas Special looks awesome…Okay I’m not really sure if it looks awesome, since the new BBC fall and winter promo video only shows about 3 seconds of the special…but since it’s Doctor Who I’m going to make the claim that it’s awesome and if you don’t like that…tough. Watch the promo and you’ll catch the scene. Can you spot Michael Gambon? Yes that Gambon, as he asks Matthew Smith who he is and he responds “the ghost of Christmas past.” Also note that the part of the video clip where Smith is surrounded by Nazi flags is not part of Doctor Who, but a totally different Read more »

Nintendo Wii Gets Sonic Screwdriver, Sculpted Remote Isn't Cheap Knockoff

Doctor Who is officially coming to the Nintendo Wii and what better way would there be to play the game than with a sonic screwdriver, the very same device carried by the Doctor in the BBC t.v. series. I for one have a problem with many Wiicessories that are made of crappy plastics or in some cases styrofoam that my cat for some reason likes to eat. This Wii-Mote accessory however is actually sculpted around it’s very own WiiMote, making it give off the appearance of a sleeker device, while at the same time providing a more realistic authenticity that’s sturdy to use and even features a top side light Read more »

New Season Of 'Doctor Who' Being Split Into Two

Steven Moffat recently revealed at the Edinburgh International Television Festival that the next season of Doctor Who is going to be split in two. The 13-episode season will features 7-episodes in the spring and 6-episodes in the fall. According to io9, Moffat said the split would be between two distinct stories with no annoying cliffhanger type scenario: Looking at the next series I thought what this show needs is a big event in the middle [...] I kept referring to a mid-season finale. So we are going to make it two series – seven episodes at Easter building to an earth-shattering climax, a cliffhanger we could never normally do because Read more »

1996 Doctor Who Movie Is Finally Arriving On DVD In America

Normally it wouldn’t take 14 years for a popular British TV movie to find it’s way stateside, but that’s exactly what happened with the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie on DVD when a rights dispute occurred between BBC, Fox and Universal Pictures, a rights battle that has finally come to an end. The TV movie stars Paul McGann as the 8th doctor, a performance that is considered decent by even some of the most hardcore Doctor Who fans. The DVD according to ToplessRobot will arrive in the next 12 months and there is word that it may even contain more “special edition” features than are currently available on the UK Read more »

Doctor Who #10: David Tennant gets the stuffed toy treatment

You know you’ve been a hit when you get made into a stuffed toy, right? Well, possibly. Regardless, there’s little doubt in the minds of most Doctor Who fans (particularly younger ones) that David Tennant has been one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the cult sci-fi show. Now, he’s been turned into a chibi soft toy. I can’t see him standing up to Cybermen or Daleks in this form, but as he’s already regenerated into Doctor number 11 that probably doesn’t matter. As he was created on DeviantArt a couple of years ago, perhaps it’s time that they got to work on a Matt Smith Read more »
