The Weeping Angels were introduced to the Tenth Doctor in an episode, written by Steven Moffat, called Blink.

What role will the Eternal Dalek have?
If you’ve not seen the Victory of the Daleks and don’t want spoilers then – look away now. Gone? Right; the rest of us can speculate as to whether we’ll see a Doctor Who episode that puts the spotlight on the Eternal Dalek? In Victory of the Daleks we saw a new generation of pure […]
Fringe’s Brown Betty pictures; the musical episode
Brown Betty is the musical episode of Fringe. Yep; they sing in Fringe. Thanks to Patrick Lee at SciFi Wire we get to peak at some of the pictures from this musical version. SciFi Wire is the blog for SyFy. I don’t know if it’ll become SyFy Wire but, so far, I’m glad it’s kept […]
Concept art for the Dr Who adventure games

Dr Who – Video gallery for the Victory of the Daleks
The kindly BBC have gone and released a whole bunch of new Victory of the Daleks clips. I thought the thing to do would be to bundle them up in a single posting – ideal for a Dr Who OD. (That’s OD, not Ood) Matt Smith and Karen Gillan introduce Victory of the Daleks Doctor […]

Dr Who – The Beast Below trailer
In case you’ve had a busy week, like me, and you’ve not had a chance to watch the trailer for The Beast Below – here it is. Unless, that is, you’re like my Dundee friends and consider these trailers to be spoiler rich nasties and think the BBC should be shot for running them anytime […]
