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. […]
Doctor Who writers to pen new Sherlock
File this under “Ooh; looks interesting”. The BBC are gearing up for three new, 90-minute, Sherlock Holmes films. This new Sherlock mini-series was co-crated by Steven Moffat (in charge of the Matt Smith season of Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss (who played Doctor Lazarus for the Tenth Doctor and who wrote Victory of the Daleks).

The BBC has confirmed that Sir Michael Gambon will have a significant role in the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special. Gambon, who is probably best known for playing Harry Potter’s Professor Albus Dumbledore, will appear alongside Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins.

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. Turns out it was Matt Smith – however, he’s the actor. They also had Doctor Who on-stage because, amazingly, they played an electro version of the famous […]
Will the Yeti make a return for the Doctor Who Christmas special?
Peter McKinstry is an artist and concept designer who’s worked on Doctor Who since new Who series 2, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. On his website he’s published a new concept art image. It looks rather impressive. What’s more – the concept art has sparked speculation. Could this be a Yeti? The Yeti were […]
Doctor Who: Aliens and Creatures review
This is a review of the RPG supplement Doctor Who: Aliens and Creatures. It’s the first supplement that I’m aware of from Cubicle 7 for their prestigious Doctor Who license. In other words; you need to have a copy of Adventures in Time and Space before you can play this supplement. That said; I think […]
