10 Fan-Posters Doctor Who

Marc A. Price — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 07:37:01 +0000

Here are some really superb fan made posters for Doctor Who. The simplicity of them makes them so completely stylish that I would happily have any one of them grace my wall. Very impressive stuff. I was alerted to their presence by @neilhimself. When he twitter’d about this site he managed to break it because of all of the unexpected traffic. Back in the days when people gave a crap about Slashdot.org this was called slashdotting. I wonder if there is a term for it when it is done via Twitter.

New Doctor Who movie rumours surface, Johnny Depp linked – Den of Geek

Marc A. Price — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:04:43 +0000

I hate the very idea of a Doctor Who movie. I hate the idea of Johnny Depp camping it up in the TARDIS. I hate the idea of RTD writing a Doctor Who movie. I hate it when people make shit up in order to get more traffic to their website. In the name of all that is holy…

It’s little secret that Russell T Davies has moved to America, where he’s currently working on a fourth season of Doctor Who spin-off, Torchwood. It’s also little secret that he’s expressed interest in writing and putting together a big screen adventure for Doctor Who.

However, a new story has surfaced – which we discovered via the fine folks at io9 – regarding possible details of a Doctor Who movie. And from where we’re sitting, there doesn’t look like much in the way of truth about it.

The Daleks Get Another Makeover

Marc A. Price — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 17:38:42 +0000

Stevan Moffat has send Doctor Who fans into another hissy fit with the radical redesign of the series ubiquitous metal monsters. The Radio Times has published some shots of the new design (a link below to their gallery). I must confess to thinking that it looked pants when I first saw them but now I am really warming to the new look.

New Doctor Who Theme

Season 31 started with a bang tonight, a damn fine episode but I just can’t seem to get used to the new theme tune.

Doctor Who Anime

I found this on IO9. A really cool Doctor Who anime project featuring the 3rd Doctor that seems to take audio from the original series and add anime graphics to it. Not sure about the Kung Fu Pertwee but the realisation of these things is pretty amazing. I’d love to see the whole thing.

New Waters of Mars trailer

Marc A. Price — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 07:35:16 +0000

At this year’s Comic Con there was a Doctor Who panel which showed a new trailer for the November episode “The Waters of Mars” It looks really really cool and I’m looking forward to it no end. Although, I’m pretty sure my mate Nick won’t like it, what do you think?

New TARDIS Prop

New TARDIS prop

The excitement begins to bubble over. Not only is there a new production team, a new Doctor and a new companion there is also a new TARDIS prop. The question now is whether we can lend any credence to the rumours that the interior is also getting a makeover. I suspect that it will based on this. Moffat clearly wants to put his own stamp on things.

Although his way of making his mark is to take things closer to the original source material. The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that the new TARDIS prop looks very similar to the way it did back in 1963, complete with white windows and St. John’s Ambulance sticker on the right hand door.

New Doctor Who costume revealed

Marc A. Price — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 09:21:00 +0000

This morning we were finally shown the look that the Eleventh Doctor will sport during the new series of Doctor Who and he looks like Indiana Jones in teacher mode in hobnail boots. As you can see in the photo to the right Matt Smith will be wearing a geeky bow tie and history professor style jacket. Hot quite what I was expecting but I think he look pretty cool and I can’t wait to see what he does with the role. Karen Gillan who will be playing new companion Amy Pond looks rather tasty next to him there too.

Smith arrived on set this morning to start filming the fifth series of Doctor Who since its revival in 2005. He commented “The scripts are brilliant – I’m excited about the future and all the brilliant adventures I get to go on as the Doctor.”

New show runner Steven Moffat is pretty fired up about the new pair and the new series in general. “Matt and Karen are going to be incredible, and Doctor Who is going to come alive on Saturday nights in a whole new way,” Moffat enthuses.

It is going to be along wait until Spring 2010. Luckily there are still some David Tennant episodes to go until then.

Outpost Gallifrey and Doctor Who Forum to Close

Marc A. Price — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 06:38:48 +0000

Some sad news came in on Google Reader today. Shaun Lyon, the big cheese behind the successful Outpost Gallifrey, Doctor Who Forum and Gallifreyone conventions has decided to close the news and forum sites down for ever on 31st July 2009. This decision is bound to send fandom into a spin as DWF was simply the best place to go for Doctor Who news, even if you did have to wade though countless crappy arguments sometimes in order to get to the good stuff.

So where do we go now? I’m open to suggestions. So many of the other sites are just either so noisy or boring. There are rumours of the moderators of DWF spinning off their own forum called Gallifrey Base. I’m sure more news will come out about that very soon.

This news reminds me of when my favourite pub closed when I was a youth. A great big group of people used to use the same pub, you always knew where to find people (this was in the days before mobile phones). When it closed things were never quite the same, in order to meet up with same group of people you had to visit several different pubs in town. People still mourn the loss of that pub, I recently found a Facebook group dedicated to that very purpose.

Still, ears to the ground, if you hear of a good Doctor Who forum let me know…

Outpost Gallifrey and the Doctor Who Forum, the most popular Doctor Who fan website on the Internet, will be closing for good as of July 31, 2009. The announcement was made in the Forum and the Doctor Who News Page on June 2 by owner/operator Shaun Lyon, whose statement about the closure is below. The closure of the site has been planned for a couple of months.

Doctor Who assistant is unveiled as Karen Gillan

Marc A. Price — Fri, 29 May 2009 14:49:27 +0000

Well the time has come, the waiting is over, and so on. The Moff has cast another relative unknown in the BBC’s flagship Saturday night show. I know absolutely nothingg about Karen Gillan except that she is fierce pretty and celtic looking. Two of my favorite things.

Looking forward to seeing how this pans out. Apparently she was in the show before in the Fires of Pompeii. I must have had my eyes shut that day I’m sure I would have noticed.

Only a few weeks before this new series starts filming and all sorts of horrible spoiler things come out and ruin everything. I’m going to cover my eyes and ears with sticking plasters until March 2010.

Little-known actress Karen Gillan has been unveiled as the next assistant in Doctor Who.

The 21-year-old will star alongside new Time Lord Matt Smith in the new series, to be broadcast next year.
