Hell Yes!. I've been waiting forever for some new Who stuff, and that last X-Mas special was such a let down for me. Hopefully this is good.

 

A musical excerpt from the season finale

"Give Us The Doctor, give us his arms, give us his feet, give us a grave, give us a shovel, give us a marker...give us The Doctor"

I'm looking forward to The New who.

I know alot of people (Including my Grandmother) loved David Tennent, so Matt as big shoes to fill.

As for his new Companion, She has the looks, thats for sure.
We'll see how she fair's.

Also:

 

What's the word on the U.S. edition of Torchwood?.

 

Still in pre-production. Nowhere near the Pilot stage yet.
It's looking like it's gonna be a 2010-2011 Mid-Season premiere if where lucky. That's IF Fox approves the Pilot and takes Torchwood USA to series.

 

And the Moff

 

The new Doctor has a Jay Leno chin.

Ah, thanks.

Matt Smith BBC Interview + "Eleventh Hour" clip

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/8575480.stm

First of many reviews

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8572786.stm

 

I just posted the interview

 

There were two interviews. One by Lizo Mzimba with just Smith and another with Matthew Richards interviewing Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.

 

Matt Smith is a really odd fellow in the interviews, he talks so naturally, usually actors look and act so stiff in interviews.

 

And now for something completely different, as many might know, many apt CGI modelers/animators around the web have tried to create/recreate Doctor Who scenes ranging from TARDIS (re)materlisation, Dalek/Cyberman scenes from Audio Plays, and the odd TARDIS interior recreation.

This is a short semi-teaser trailer(the creator isn't intending to ever make a full story) for a fan-made story/plot idea by "themindrobber", that if it were real, could possibly be one of the creepiest/scariest Doctor Who episodes ever (at least the teaser makes it look that way).

Here's the creator's blurb for the video:
[HIDE]"In Doctor Who's most disturbing encounter yet, a 14th century 'plague doctor' stalks a run-down Victorian house whose occupants cannot be found. The Doctor and his companion arrive to find a strange record loops endlessly from behind a locked door and the sounds of movement can be heard upstairs, but no-one is there... Can the Doctor solve the mystery of the house or will he fall prey to the watching figure and the sounds in the shadows?"

This is a teaser trailer containing a few elements of a story I will probably never get round to writing. This is really an experiment in lighting and texturing, as I wanted to create an evocative Victorian setting and also realise the 'plague doctor' figure which I am a bit fixated on.

I have always been fascinating by these ghoulish figures from the 14th century. The idea that a medical man would attend the sick and dying dressed like an image from some avian nightmare always compelled me. But what compelled me further in the context of a Doctor Who story was the idea that under their protective clothing, what if these creatures actually looked like their masks....?[/HIDE]

Here is "themindrobber"'s...

According to TV Sky the arc phrase for Series 1 will be

"Silence will fall"


From Moffat

Episode Four contains the scariest thing ever in Dr Who (according to his son)

Episode 3 contains a revelation that will "make you go ah! and stare at the screen" and have people rewinding it
