We’re doing quite well with the photographs from the Christmas Special filming at Cardiff Coal Exchange.

There […]

Christmas Special Doctor Who films by the Cardiff Coal Exchange
The flickr user Alun Vega works on Doctor Who. He also posts pictures of the filming… well, no, not the filming. Not even of the set but more like the build up. His new Doctor Who 2011 set shows Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) by the Cardiff Coal Exchange.
Does Matt Smith really want to quit as Doctor Who?
Here’s one that’ll start a debate about the credibility of British Tabloids. The Sun is reporting that Matt Smith will quit Doctor Who had the end of his next series. Why? He wants to crack Hollywood. That’s a plausible story but that’s also a story that could be argued for any any up-and-coming British actor. […]

The Doctor Who Venn diagram and the Microsoft/Bing connection
It’s far better than Malcolm in the Middle. This Venn diagram seems to prove that Doctor Who is in the mathematical middle of some serious sci-fi analysis. That’s right; Venn diagrams have never been so cool (or blue – and this one’s borrowed, it’s newly posted here and yet old elsewhere…). There’s an extra story […]
Matt Smith versus David Tennant – 5 million versus 8 million
Deep in some story on the BBC about men in shorts kicking balls are some handy Doctor Who viewing stats. Amid the excitement in South Africa, the final episode in the current series of Doctor Who had only moderate success. Saturday’s series finale was seen by an average of 5.1 million people – down on […]
Doctor Who on stage at Glastonbury
Last night I saw a couple of tweets suggesting that they had Doctor Who on stage at Glastonbury. I wondered who it was: David Tennant or Matt Smith.
