July 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

On the 4th the BBC snuck up a mysterious teaser video for Doctor Who. It’s called #thefourth and has voice from the 4th Doctor, as played by Tom Baker, and his companions.

January 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This rather wonderful poster is a Gallifreyan Perpetual Calendar and Galactic Star Chart. It lets Timelords or their companions discover the day of the week for any given day between the years 1600 and 9999 AD. That’s a pretty wide scope. As a bonus, any Timelord might be pleased to know that they star chart […]

The struggles and adventures of Doctor Who pop music

August 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There have been times when UK pop culture has met Doctor Who. It’s not always been all that great. In 1988 The Timelords had a hit called “Doctorin’ The Tardis” that made it to number one. These are the same two people – Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond – who were behind the Justified Ancients […]

Doctor Who clip: Vampires in Venice

March 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve been to Venice and the city is a great choice for both vampires and Doctor Who. There is a risk of spoilers below but the episode is called Vampires in Venice. I’ve mixed feelings about this clip. I think they’re erring up towards the positive. I like the William Hartnell clip. “Tell me the […]
