A new trailer has been released for the upcoming Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock game.
1977’s The Face of Evil, despite playing on themes of religious devotion and artificial intelligence, never quite catches fire.
‘In all our future meetings, I would know him more and he would know me less…’
To assuage the bewilderment of those who had struggled to follow the cockeyed chronology of the great love affair between Professor River ‘Melody Pond’ Song and Doctor Doctor ‘Doctor’ Who, BBC Three’s late, lamented Doctor Who Confidential put together a timeline, narrated by Alex Kingston, of the River Song story from beginning to end.
Or is it end to beginning? Either way, it clears up any confusion and proves that it does all make sense after all. No, honestly, it does…
‘He’s a useless shite, that boy. Punish him for me, Errol.’
Brick Top from Snatch dons the helmet and mask and joins the Galactic Empire under the name ‘Darth Vader’. Essential viewing for all fans of potty-mouthed cockney gangsters ringing up Grand Moff Tarkin to call the governor a ‘see-you-next-Tuesday’…
‘What the hell is this?’
Annie settles down with George and Mitchell to watch an unmarked DVD that somebody has sent her. It turns out to be something so hideous that even the supernatural flatmates are freaked out… and not only because it’s inexplicably soundtracked by Flo Rida…
‘Can I do this – or do I look like some sort of gay superhero?’
More vaguely amusing visual juxtaposition as Captain Picard is surprised during a meeting of high-level staff on the Starship Enterprise by some surprisingly candid video footage of himself. The smirk on Commander Riker’s face as he says, ‘I wish I’d known that Jean-Luc Picard,’ is a priceless moment of inappropriate perviness…
‘Through cosmic wastes the TARDIS flies, to taste the secret source of life…’
The idea of Matt Smith releasing a version of the Doctor Who theme tune with quasi-spiritual lyrics about listening to metallic teeth beginning to grind is either the stuff of nightmares or a hitherto un-thought-of marketing manager’s wet dream.
Either way, it’s as unlikely in 2012 as it was run-of-the-mill in the 1970s, a decade when the idea of a TV star releasing an ‘in character’ song was par for the course – if you don’t believe us, check out John Inman singing ‘Are You Being Served, Sir?’
But first, listen to Jon Pertwee getting all mystical in his (tragically uncharting) 1972 single, ‘Who is the Doctor?’…
‘This car’s a sod to drive at the moment…’
But before anyone starts thinking Pertwee was a grandiloquent old git, here he is on the set of The Five Doctors, struggling to get to grips with vintage roadster Bessie and swearing like a fishwife with a stubbed toe…
Being Human creator Toby Whithouse has described Doctor Who as “an incredibly difficult show to write”.
Being Human creator Toby Whithouse has revealed that his episode for Doctor Who‘s new series is in a genre that “no one has written in… for quite a while now”.
Doctor Who will be soon begin filming scenes in Spain, according to the agency of actor Rob Cavazos.
BBC Worldwide have today confirmed that Karen Gillan will appear alongside her co-stars Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill at the Official Doctor Who Convention next month.
Most fan talk about this year’s series of Doctor Who has tended to concentrate on how many episodes it will consist of and when they’ll be shown. As a result, excited chatter about the actual content has been thin on the ground.
‘You’re one of the conspiracy lot, aren’t you?’
Combining Sherlock and Doctor Who isn’t all that difficult, a cynic might say; Steven Moffat has already done it by having basically the same conclusions to Series 2 of the former and Series 6 of the latter.
But we’re not cynical, so we don’t believe that at all – and it’s our wide-eyed lack of cynicism which probably explains why we love the heartfelt, fannish devotion which has gone into the making of this Wholock trailer for ‘The Fall’….
‘I cannot tell you why my ship withstood the power of that gun unless you tell me the principles it was built on.’
How much time Babelcolour spends adding colour, frame by frame, to 1960s episodes of Doctor Who, we don’t even want to think about. All we want is for him to keep doing it, because the examples in this portfolio of clips are spellbinding.
Seeing William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and the gang transported from monochrome mediocrity to glorious Technicolor isn’t a rarity on YouTube, but seeing it done this well certainly is.
‘The hobbits, the hobbits, the hobbits, the hobbits …’
At one time, this was – in a deliberately cheap and tacky way – the funniest thing the internet ever invented. If, by some miracle, you haven’t seen it yet, then approach with caution. You will never be able to watch The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in the same way again.
‘Wall-E…?’
The trailer for Prometheus – Ridley Scott’s Alien-prequel-that-isn’t-actually-an-Alien-prequel-but-it’s-set-in-the-same-universe-and-yeah-it’s-about-the-creatures-that-left-the-big-ship-in-Alien-but-there’s-no-Ripley-stop-asking-me-about-Alien-for-God’s-sake – is one of the most intriguing of the teasers for this year’s movie blockbusters.
How can it be improved? By adding a much-loved cartoon figure, of course. It’s like eating ham and custard creams at the same time: it shouldn’t work but it does.
‘Oh my God, I don’t think I can go on. This is so emotional that I’m getting a stalk-on.’
At the tail-end of the 1990s, Tom Baker was trying to record the voiceover for a radio commercial for a furniture company. Struggling against a dismal script about ‘the passion of retail’ the former Doctor Who star begins to ramble, swear and be generally about a million times more entertaining than the advert could ever have hoped to be.
With Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary around the corner, 1973’s The Three Doctors is an object lesson to today’s fans about the sensible limitation of one’s expectations.
