Doctor Who – new The Eleventh Hour clip – the deadly duckpond
CBBC – that’s Children’s BBC – ran a new The Eleventh Hour clip today. It’s a reminder that Dr Who continues to be seen by many as a children’s show. No bad thing if this helps the funding and lures in the audiences we need to keep the show going. In this clip a deadly […]
New Tardis interior pictures
The Radio Times has showcased the new look Tardis. It’s easy to explain the new look; at the end of Series 4 we saw the Tardis crashing down towards the Earth. We might expect a bumpy landing and the need for some redecoration! It’s a familiar feel; yet different. It’s almost the middle ground between […]
MTV with Nightmare’s Freddy interruption/haunting ads
MTV are promoting the forthcoming Nightmare on Elm Street. These aren’t standard ads though – they’re interruptions which are being allowed to hijack MTV’s own promo features.

Doctor Who clip: Vampires in Venice
I’ve been to Venice and the city is a great choice for both vampires and Doctor Who. There is a risk of spoilers below but the episode is called Vampires in Venice. I’ve mixed feelings about this clip. I think they’re erring up towards the positive. I like the William Hartnell clip. “Tell me the […]
Doctor Who clip: First minute of The Eleventh Hour
I was under the impression that the BBC were going to give us the first 60 seconds of the Eleventh Hour. I’ll have to go back and re-read their blog post. What we’ve got is the first 43 seconds. I feel as if we’re due another 17 seconds! This is the first of a few […]
BBC America’s Doctor Who series 5 trailer
The early releases of this online trailer where geo-tarded so you had to be in the USA to watch them. Clearly, that didn’t last long. What we have here is an action orientated teaser for series 5 Doctor Who. Actually; it’s not all about the action – quite a bit seems to reflect the Doctor’s […]
Sci-Fi channel found guilty of showing too many ads in the UK
Official British watchdog has found that NBC Universal’s Sci-Fi channel breached the rules by showing too many adverts for the second time in the month. Rule four of the British code on the scheduling of television advertising (COSTA) states that TV stations are only allowed to show 12 minutes of ads every hour. The Sci-Fi […]
More official 11th Hour Doctor Who pictures from the BBC
The BBC have released more teaser stills from the Eleventh Hour (for the 11th Doctor) opening episode of Series 5(1) of Steven Moffat’s Doctor Who. If you sneaked a peak at the captured TV teaser clip then these stills add further evidence/speculation to certain first encounters. Still not sure about that skirt, though.
