Doctor Who – A Good Man Goes to War prequel

May 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have you caught up with Doctor Who and “The Almost People”? There’s quite a cliff hanger at the end of it… and the next episode will be the last for a while. Annoying, this series of Doctor Who is split in the middle and the show picks up again towards the end of the year. […]

Karigurashi no Arrietty / The Borrowers Arrietty

May 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Based on the classic book The Borrowers, Studio Ghibli‘s latest film is Karigurashi no Arrietty. The good news is that the anime will get shown at a number of UK locations before its general release. The Barbican gets the film on the 6th of July and on the 18th and 20th of June, as part […]

Who is Madame Kovarian? [speculation, spoilers]

May 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 31 Comments

This is a blog post about series six of Doctor Who. It contains nothing but speculation and widely commented on factoids. If you’re allergic to spoilers – or rather, the possibility of spoilers – then stop reading now. This post contains no actual spoilers (unless you’re behind in your Doctor Who watching) as it contains […]

In the Skin of the Universe

May 18, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve only just found this rather cleverly made Doctor Who tribute video. It’s made from season 5 parts and pretty much keeps the focus on the Doctor and Amy. The video is also wise enough to keep “the silence will fall” warnings as a common theme. What a fantastic bit of fan editing! What do […]

Torchwood Miracle Day Trailer – for UK

May 2, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As it happens the trailer for Starz’ Torchwood series starter “Miracle Day” as been out for a while. It’s just that all the video clips from the once-BBC owned Doctor Who spin-off were geo-tarded so that no one outside the US (or at least, no one inside the UK) could view it. I have a […]

Weebl: For Science, You Monster

April 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It looks like they got some science on them! Let’s turn to Weebl and Bob to help us stay in the Portal zone. Did you know the turrets were in a band called Radio Head? Weebl’s in it too. Sure. There’s a band with a similar name but I’m not sure which one came first. […]

Day of the Moon clips pile on the creep

April 25, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The BBC have unwrapped two more trailer clips for Day of the Moon. The second one, in particular, is heavy with creep. The Silence are so very Moffat. The whole last series was, in part, about forgetting people completely – that’s why we have “Rory the Roman”. The Weeping Angels are scary because their power […]

Dr Who: Day of the Moon trailer

April 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Did you enjoy the Impossible Astronaut? Day of the Moon is the episode that follows – if you’re worried about spoilers then you’re unlikely to want to watch this. If you’re not worried spoilers then this is post for you! What did you make of The Silence? Scary or over rated? Personally, I like the […]

Doctor Who micro trailers are creepy

April 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Not sure what the BBC are trying to do with these two micro trailers for Doctor Who. I can suggest that they’re somewhat creepy. Is this just part of the Moff’s campaign to scare us all? What I can say is that I’m really impressed with BBC America‘s social media promotion of Doctor Who; whether […]

When does the digital switch over hit you?

April 20, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The UK is dumping analogue TV. The old signal is actually being switched off. This means you need a digital TV in order to keep watching. Most Geek Native readers in the UK will not be affected by this – if you have a TV at all, rather than watching online, it’ll likely be a […]
