The Smilers are a Doctor Who monster from Steven Moffat’s “THe Beast Below” Doctor Who episode. The Beast Below is Amy Pond’s first trip in the TARDIS and the 11th Doctor’s second episode. The pair travel to Starship UK where the British people search space for a new home. It’s Amy who encounters the Smilers […]
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 […]
Doctor Who: The Eleventh Hour trailer clip
Don’t watch this if you’re very allergic to spoilers. If you’re only slightly concerned about spoilers then I don’t think this clip gives away any more of the plot than the end of series 4 did. Some thoughts; easy to speculate that the ginger little girl grows up to be Amy Pond. Could be cool. […]
Are you concerned about the Matt Smith / season 5 of Doctor Who?
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 […]
Neil Gaiman will write for Doctor Who
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
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Will Matt Smith’s Womb be out before the new Doctor Who?
Steven Moffat‘s brave choice as the 11th Doctor, 27 year old Matt Smith, will feature alongside Eva Green in Benedek Fliegauf‘s movie Womb. Smith plays Thomas – alongside Eva’s Rebecca – in a near future movie which the two childhood sweethearts reconnect and begin a passionate love affair. The world comes crashing down when Thomas […]
