Less than an hour until they announce who the next Doctor will be. OK… I’ll plump for Paterson Joseph. I know he’s already quite high up at the bookies – but it presents all sorts of potential. His recent work on ‘Survivors‘ presents a fine Who link (as it was created originally by Terry Nation,…

It may well be a quiet year for Doctor Who on the TV, but not totally devoid of content. We have four specials, a week long Torchwood epic, and the Sarah Jane Adventures – Series 3 to look forward to. On top of that, we should finally see the publication of Cubicle 7‘s Doctor Who…

I love anything rooted in mythology or modern day artifacts. That’s why episodes like ‘Blink’ work, because you take something commonplace and give it a disturbing spin. Clowns don’t really need much work to make them disturbing. ‘The Greatest Show in the Galaxy‘ may not have been the height of the Seventh Doctor’s adventures, but…

…or “I Was Sarah Jane Smith for a Day”. Just back from an enjoyable day at Game 2008, at the Armitage Centre in Fallowfield, Manchester. Aside from some meandering around trade stalls, I played a 5 hour demo of the new Doctor Who role-playing game, from Cubicle 7. While Cubicle 7 has delayed release of…

Not a complete surprise, but sometimes it feels like these decisions get strung out. I got the feeling when the Shakespearean hiatus cropped up that David would get the urge to roam – but it took a little while longer for the final announcement. To some extent, the fact Russell and David leave at the…

Crikey! Russell T sure knows how to have a good time. Seriously good episode from a fanboy point of view. Can you really fault it? The Doctor, Sarah Jane, Torchwood… even Harriet Jones makes a heroic return as the core of the resistance, the head of the Doctor’s Army. The episode made sly references to…

While I won’t yet write-up my overall view of ‘Turn Left’ (because I still have a lot of catching up to do), I enjoyed the nod at continuity when the Doctor referred to the beetle as one of the Trickster’s lot. The Trickster was the excellent villain from the ‘Sarah Jane Adventures’ episode ‘Whatever Happened…

Having experimented with creating my own hand-crafted versions of the t-shirt (and I’ve happily created several now for friends), I’ve taken the plunge of creating a Cafepress store of this ‘The Angels Have The Phone Box‘ design.

The historical story had a key role during the adventures of the First Doctor, but over time they started to slip out of favour or became a backdrop to a tale set in the future. The Fifth Doctor, to my recollection, had quite a few, too. Now, we can expect something from the past in…
