HERE is another teaser / taster for episode 12 of Dr Who.


and here is an interesting group photo that may count as a spoiler......

Monday

Okay so I admit that I am a Doctor Who fan. I have seen every episode ever made first time round, i.e. not on video's and tape, live as and when broadcast. And I remember that series 1 episode 1 was repeated before series 1 episode 2 was shown, something to do with power cuts in some parts of the country I think, I am not sure, well I was only about 8!

And now, the really big finale, probably the biggest of all the series ever. There is a trailer here (and a slightly different one on you tube see the end of tis post) for the part 1 of the series finale and there are plenty of clues - Torchwood in the guise of Jack, Ianto and Gwen (God how I would love to see Gwen in Dr Who), a red dalek, someone who looked like Brigadier Sir Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and so much more. Questions from this week float round in my mind - why is Donna so important? Is her name (NOBLE) relevant, Is Donna another name for Lady, and Noble = Lord, so is she actually a Time Lord, or indeed perhaps the sum total of all the time lord? Is the fact that temp relates to latin for time and she keeps going on about how she is a temp a coincidence? Why does Wilf keep looking through a telecope and going on about Aliens? If he daleks and the timelords were all supposedly destroyed in the Timewar, and the daleks somehow keep managing to reappear, then why can't the timelords?

Hopefully the next two weeks of extended Doctor Who episodes will explain all.

Can't wait.

Dr Who is back, and it now feels like it has never been away. Instead of the interminable wait for the new series (now replaced with the wait for new Torchwood), I have the interminable wait for the next episode and the calculations of when the last episode is on, and if it will clash with annual holiday…..
Vote Saxon. Is that the new Bad Wolf, is that the theme running through this series, and Ror Marsden, I had forgotten what an absolute master actor he is. Memories of DCI Dalgliesh came flooding back. Good to see him on the screen, if only to fall fowl of an ex Dinner Lady with a straw.
Whilst I can confess to having seen every single Doctor Who on it’s first TV airing, and the Peter Cushing movie at the Cinema, one thing bugged me in last nights Doctor Who. All these years and I had thought TARDIS stood for Time And Relative Dimensions in Space. Last night they clearly in both speech and subtitles lost the ‘s’ from Dimension, making it singular. It now doesn’t make any sense to me. Am I just being picky?
