Are you concerned about the Matt Smith / season 5 of Doctor Who?

March 6, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 9 Comments

My friends are split. Some Who fans are really looking forward to Season 5 of Doctor Who. They’re looking forward to Steven Moffat at the helm. They credit him with some of the best Dr Who episodes from new Who. Other friends have nothing but a sense of dread. They don’t recognise Moffat as the […]

Horrible pictures for any Doctor Who fan

March 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 6 Comments

I think this could be a sad day for Doctor Who fans around the world. New on-set pictures have emerged of the Matt Smith series. They’re not good. They show the good Doctor, in shorts and as a ball-kicker. The Timelord is not a ball-kicker. Don’t you agree?

Dalek fundraiser

February 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

It’s a rainy afternoon in Edinburgh and the daleks are out and about. Fear not, brave traveller, these daleks are not bent on destroying the world – they’re trying to save it. Let’s hope this imaginative, if somewhat shapeless, dalek costume is original enough to help this charity worker collect a few more pennies.

Holy Cow! Gundam in Excel

February 27, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Ok, ok… so this video might have been out for ages but I’ve only just seen it. I’m already jealous of people with artistic skill. I’m jealous of people who can get Excel to do what they want, quickly and without a data loosing crash. You can imagine how jealous I am of the artistic […]

Borg cupcakes: Permission to cup your cakes, ma’am.

February 20, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

What can you say about Borg cupcakes? Turns out Reddit readers had plenty to say; “We are the Cupcakes. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological deliciousness to our own. Your culture will adapt to eat us. Resistance is futile.” “I am Seven of Nine Cupcakes. Tertiary Adjunct […]

King of Fighters: Vanessa model

February 17, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sideshow have a rather stunning collectible figure of the ever-popular Vanessa. Borrowing from the site’s description of the piece I can say; Standing approximately 12″ high, this tough female fighter poses in a provocative, removable outfit. Oh my!

Doctor Who leak: The Eleventh Hour will be 60 minutes long…

February 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

At the start of the month we discovered the first two Matt Smith Doctor Who episodes will be called The Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below. Radio Free Skaro seems to have got their hands on a BBC press release that has even more details. First off – if you’re worried about spoilers, stop reading, […]

The Muppets meet social media

February 11, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s as if the Muppets have been asleep for the last ten years, have woken up as it turned 2010 and instantly got the power of Social Media.

I think I may use this video in presentations.

Neil Gaiman will write for Doctor Who

February 7, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Neil Gaiman has confirmed to SFX that he’ll be penning an episode for the second Matt Smith season of Doctor Who. He sent them this message, which is crystal clear; Over the years SFX, and its readers and their votes in the polls, have always been very kind to me. I thought I’d return the […]

Doctor Who: The Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below

February 3, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Doctor Who magazine subscription has revealed the first couple of 11th Doctor Eposides (do we like the phrase “New Who”?). The first two are helmed by Steven Moffat himself; “The Eleventh Hour” and “The Beast Below”. I think The Eleventh Hour is an interesting twist. We may be beyond some of the early suggestions […]
