Doctor Who [2]

Just watched Midnight, me no likey, me scaredy cat, me hidey behind sofa.












{{{isn't there anyone who might save me?}}}

Yup its good old Who. Just as it should be from time to time. And goes to show what you can do with almost no set and just a room full of decent actors and a good tight script.

seems like I'm doing Who today all our teachers except one are on strike

I. LOVE. DOCTOR. WHO!!!
thank you very much, Petty

did you watch 'Blink' Norc? thats my favourite episode ever. those stone angels are scary!

A new Whovian is born!!


Moffat has been talking about the scheduling of Who and Sherlock:

Moffat also explained the later launch of the new series this year:
I don't know, on this occasion, that the thinking particularly came from me, actually. I've always been open to anything that shakes [the series] up. I think that decision actually came from the BBC. But I've been well up for anything that we can do to shake up the transmission pattern, the way we deliver it to the audience and how long we make the audience wait, simply because that makes Doctor Who an event piece.
The more Doctor Who becomes a perennial, the faster it starts to die. You've got to shake it up, you've got to keep people on edge and wondering when it will come back. Sherlock is the prime example, as far as that goes. Sherlock almost exists on starving its audience. By the time it came back this year, Sherlock was like a rock star re-entering the building!
So keeping Doctor Who as an event, and never making people feel, 'Oh, it's lovely, reliable old Doctor Who - it'll be on about this time, at that time of year'. Once you start to do that, just slowly, it becomes like any much-loved ornament in your house - ultimately invisible. And I don't want that to ever be the case.' -Gallifrey Base

even though I hate the waiting, I can't but agree Moffat (and Gatiss) are genious!!!!!

and yes, I watched blink, both loveditloveditloveditlovedit!!! <3 <3 suuuper creepy though! and how they managed that with no cgi and :S like no special effects yet I fully believed they were alive monsters from outer space (care to find me some more episodes?? )

You may as well get used early on Norc to the Doctors changing faces! This is the very first episode of NuWho with Mrs Figgs favourite Doctor. This is how Doctor Who made its TV comback in 2005 after a 10 year absence (excepting the one Tv movie in the late 90's).

The Doctor Dances (Part Two)

These episodes are in order but as there are 13 in a series it obviously not all of them- theres a lot of eps I personanly dont like as much and which arent on this list, but you might like them. So if for example you want to see episode 2 of this series on the site just type in to the search, 'Doctor.Who.S01E02' or whatever episode numnber or series you want.

Oooh yes 'Rose' is the best episode to start with, it is the very beginning of NuWho and it begins with the best Doctor of them all Eccleston! and Rose, the best assistant.

ooooh!! thank you thank you thank you!! <3

The winning entry in this year's Script To Screen competition has been revealed as coming from Ashdene Primary School in Wilmslow.
Irene Spawton, Year 6 teacher at the Cheshire school, said the pupils involved, named only as Rebecca, Emily, and Libby, pictured above with Smith and Gillan, were thrilled and surprised to have won the competition:
It's unbelievable. I couldn't believe it when I got the call to say that the children's script had been chosen as the winner. They worked so hard and came up with some brilliant ideas. I'm so proud of them all, and meeting the Doctor and Amy Pond was a fantastic experience for the girls, their parents and me.
The three-minute adventure, called Good As Gold, was filmed at Roath Lock studios the week before last, and Keith Gaskin, the father of Emily, tweeted about it on 8th May: "I've just wished my daughter luck as she's off to Cardiff to have her script made into a Dr Who episode after winning BBC comp. Good luck Em!", 9th May in reply to a comment about the win probably blowing her mind: "It certainly did thanks. The worst part was she knew a while back but couldn't tell anyone! Blue Peter are filming as well" and 10th May: "I've just picked up my daughter after their script was made into a Dr Who episode. Brilliant time apparently & Matt Smith fantastic with them."
The girls' script was chosen by Doctor Who supremo Steven Moffat, BBC Learning executive producer Katy Jones, and Doctor Who executive producer Caroline Skinner, who praised the quality of all the entries, saying:
We loved reading all of the scripts from schools across the UK and the standard of entries was truly outstanding. It was a difficult, but a tremendously fun task to choose a winner and it was just brilliant to see so many children being creative in developing an adventure for the Doctor. We hope all fans enjoy this special one-off mini episode!- Gallifrey Base

And here it is.

Just a bit of Who trivia, on that episode 'Midnight', the annoying blonde singer on the overhead screens is Raffaella Carra, super famous in italy.

that's like the cutest thing ever!!!

One of the reasons Who is so ingrained in the Briot mind is the BBC uses it as part of their remit to educate as well as entertain- so they run lots of competions for scholls and charity projects. Who can turn up in some very odd places!!

Matt's it seems is to be an Olympic Torch Bearer!

'Matt Smith will be carrying the Olympic Torch this weekend when it reaches Cardiff in the latest leg of its trip around the United Kingdom.
Smith will bear the torch early on Saturday morning, at the start of its journey from Cardiff, the capital of Wales and home of Doctor Who, to Swansea a few miles along the coast. The day will see the torch visit the communities of Barry, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda and Bridgend.
Smith told the official BBC twitter feed To carry the Torch is an honour, one I thought I'd never get, I'm very excited!'

Wonder if he will do it dressed as the Doctor!
