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
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
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
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
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?
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 […]
Game of Thrones pushes social media innovations – now with paper.li
It’s been a busy Game of Thrones – what with the first episodes appearing on TV and the second series already being signed off. News of the second series will make the Sky Atlantic Game of Thrones Facebook game more attractive for players as it reduces the risk of the app being yanked. The extra […]
Tribute to Elisabeth Sladen, 1948-2011
I did not want to post anything about the death of Elisabeth Sladen this morning. The news was sad and I was very quickly annoyed by blogs leaping on the celebrity death bandwagon. It’s lunch now. I’ve had half a day to think about it. How can Geek Native not mark the passing of Elisabeth […]
A Game of Thrones on Sky Atlantic review
If you’ve been holding off subscribing to Sky then A Game of Thrones might be that one show that changes your mind. Alternatively, you could move to America for the next few months and watch it on HBO. This review comes from the UK where Sky Atlantic currently has the exclusive run of a Game […]
A video catchup of all 47 years of Doctor Who – in just a few minutes
The talented pair and YouTube success story known as The Fine Brothers have all four feet planted on the Doctor Who bandwagon. They’ve put together an oratory wonder by walking us through all 47 years of Doctor Who in just 6 minutes. I’m glad they’ve done this. I’m well aware there is a large percentage […]
