I’m posting this on Christmas Day… not because I suspect this is the pefect time, the perfect day but because you may now be wondering what to do. Perhaps you’ve already watched Doctor Who (and perhaps you’re up for a different sort of time travel) or perhaps you’ve a shiny new tablet and you’re looking […]
Trenzalore ’tis a silly place
We know warning; On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a Question will be asked. A question that must never, ever be answered. It was spoken by Dorium Maldovar before he became a Headless Monk. There is another saying. It […]
Remember that time Karen Gillan dressed as Mario
As we’re gearing up for the Christmas Special for the 2013 Doctor Who there is time to catch up with what actors from the show’s past have been up to. Karen Gillan, for example, got into cross-dressing cosplay. Well. Sorta. Here we see her as a rather cute looking Mario. Where did these pictures come […]

Gingerbread men cause chaos this slow motion Christmas
What about a quirky mix of stop motion and slow motion this Christmas? Bring on the Gingerbread men who are up to no good. Some of these scenes were shot at 45000 frames per second which give you a fantastic way to view the carnage.
Doctor Who Puppet – A Timelord Christmas
Have you caught up with any of the Doctor Puppet episodes on YouTube? Perhaps the Christmas Special is the one to start on. As you’d expect from a Doctor Who special it features some familiar faces. As it’s a Christmas puppet show there’s also a bit of singing and not so much on the Dalek […]
Sherlock: Many Happy Returns
The BBC have released a short Sherlock mini-episode to get us in the mood. It’s not Doctor Who short but Moffat fans will recognise a certain timey-wimey scene with a TV set.
How do you write “Trenzalore” in Gallifreyan?
There is no BBC official Gallifreyan language – although they do hold the copyright on the name. However, Whovian Loren Sherman created an alphabet for the Doctor’s native tongue which is based on what we’ve seen already and holds together very well.
