The US’s third largest toy producer Jakks has signed a deal with the Japanese animation giant Dentsu to create an anime TV show based around monsters. It’ll be called Monsuno. It’s a simple plan.

BBC’s “Doctor Who Greatest Moments” snubs original Doctors
This might be an over reaction. It might be – but it really rubs me the wrong way. After The End of Time part 2 had played on UK TV the BBC ran a series of follow up shows including Doctor Who confidential. One of these shows was “Doctor Who Greatest Moments”. Great! I thought. […]
SyFy coming to the UK
Last year the SciFi channel in the US became the SyFy channel. The fans weren’t that happy but the channel wanted to broaden the group of people it appealed too. Many fans grumbled; one my favourites is this Open Letter to SyFy from marketing guru Roger Wehbe at the Tribble Agency. In it Wehbe complains […]
Cause for concern? BBC backs Doctor Who
Here in the UK whenever there’s a political storm the Member of Parliament knows they’re in trouble whenever the Prime Minister is forced to publically back them. It usually means the tide has turned against the errant politician and very soon they’ll be forced to step down. Hopefully there’s no parallel here but the BBC […]
Matt Smith in action as the 11th Doctor: Video
There are already YouTube uploads of the BBC trailer/sneak of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor. What do we see? We see spoilers. We see weeping angels, daleks, and we even see the Doctor with a gun. We hear the Doctor should “Geronimo!” for the second time. The trailer is perhaps a little more fast […]

David Tennant announced that he was leaving Doctor Who in October 2008. He was quoted as saying; “I don’t ever want it to feel like a job, so I want to move on when it still feels exciting and fresh.” BBC has just aired The End of Time part 2 which features the end of […]

We’ve a trilogy of videos featuring David Tennant, Julie Gardener and Russell T Davies to wrap up after the End of Time. The promise is high – secrets discussed. The reality – well, you’ll have to see you for yourself!
Scene from Doctor Who: The End of Time part 2
Planet Who News TV has an “exclusive” video trailer from the second of the two part, last of the 10th Doctor, The End of Time. Slightly odd, can’t find a website to go with the YouTube channel. Of course; there might not be one as whoever runs this could simply be uploading videos. There is […]
No spoilers, no reviews, just thoughts on Doctor Who and The End of Time and Twitter
Today’s an important day for Doctor Who. The reason may not be the one you’d expect nor even agree with. Doctor Who is a trending topic in Twitter. This is significant because it illustrates how mainstream Doctor Who has become. It also points at just how many people were looking forward to tonight’s episodes. I, […]
The BBC teases us with three Day Of The Triffiids clips
Oh my gosh. Sometime on TV to look forward to this Christmas! Of course; what will happen now is that that Doctor Who will turn out to be better than I fear and this will turn out to be worse. Or did the BBC line this up to keep ‘us lot’ happy after reviewing the […]
