Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith in Doctor Who and two spin-off shows, has died, according to BBC News.
Her death is a huge loss to Doctor Who fans, and to fans of strong female adventure heroes everywhere. It’s hard to overstate how important Elisabeth Sladen was to Doctor Who, and how much she transformed the role of the companion on the show. In many ways, she paved the way for all of the show’s more intelligent, resourceful companions in the 21st Century.

0So this week we get not one but two different trailers for the new series of Doctor Who. One from Aunty BEEB in the UK and the other from their cousins over the pond. Difficult to tell which one I like best. The US one seems to have more in it. Still… not long to wait now…

0Here 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.

0Stevan 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.

0I 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.

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.
