Looks like there’s been a bit of a purge in YouTube of all those naughty Dr Who fan accounts (and, no doubt, some shameless attempts to make money) and some of my favourite places to find clips have been yanked. Ah! The YouTube yank. I know you well. However, the dear old BBC have posted […]
BBC apologises for Doctor Who gaffe
The ending of The Time of Angels was rather ruined by an animated trailer for some non-geek TV program of mind numbing doom. Actually, up here in Scotland we didn’t suffer such a fate (score one for BBC Scotland) but I gather the English and Welsh suffered (anyone from Northern Ireland able to comment?) In […]
Dr Who – Next time video: Vampires in Venice
We’ve had access to a Vampires of Venice clip for a while but as traditional after Saturday’s Day Doctor Who we have access to the “next time” trailer. This clip doesn’t just bring back memories of by trip to Venice but of Assassin’s Creed 2! No vampires in that – might be in Assassin’s Creed […]
Dr Who – Flesh and Stone – connected to the Time Wars game?
The BBC have, of course, released a whole bunch of teaser videos for today’s Doctor Who “Flesh and Stone”. Flesh and Stone is part 2 to Time of Angels part 1. The teasers show us a few things: The Doctor can make the Weeping Angels say “comfy chairs” We’re still going to be taunted about […]

Dr Who: the Musical
Some Whovians go down in the records of fame. It doesn’t happen very often. Di0br is one such Whovian. Di0br is responsible for the rather amazing “Tenth Doctor: The Musical”. This is a 7 minute collection of fantastically compiled clippings from the David Tennant era combined skillfully with music (sometimes NSFW tunes). Check. It. Out.
The Ghost Who Walks: SyFy’s The Phantom
SyFy are bringing us a mini-series for a re-imagined The Phantom. Yup; that purple clad hero of old. Once again they’ve teamed up with RHI Entertainment for this modern retelling. RHI are the people who worked with SyFy on Tin Man, the Wizard of Oz re-telling that featured Zooey Deschanel and Alan Cumming. The new […]
Dr Who – Time of Angels trailer; inside Alfava Metraxis
The Weeping Angels were introduced to the Tenth Doctor in an episode, written by Steven Moffat, called Blink. Also known as the Silent Assassins they throw people back in time and feast off the energy of the life that they would have lead. The Weeping Angels, however, turn to stone if they’re being watched by […]
What role will the Eternal Dalek have?
