There’s a raunchy sex scene in a yet-to-air episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day. Captain Jack gets it on with a barman. The scene will air as intended in America where Torchwood runs on Starz (who picked up the franchise after the BBC decided they couldn’t support it). The scene will be cut from the episode […]
Confirmed: Beth Willis, Doctor Who’s Executive Producer to leave
There had been rumblings of trouble but face it – when Doctor Who isn’t on air there’s nothing quite like worrying what could go wrong. Doctor Who fans like myself are very good at it. It turns out some the more recent rumbles are correct. Beth Willis will be leaving Doctor Who. Beth was one […]
Domesday: Technology from the past for tomorrow
25 years ago the BBC carried out a project to record and archive snapshots of everyday life in the UK. It was known as Domesday. Recently, this archive of material has been put online at Domesday Reloaded and can be quickly and easily searched through. Ideal for research if you’re running a near-history game, etc. […]
Doctor Who micro trailers are creepy
Not sure what the BBC are trying to do with these two micro trailers for Doctor Who. I can suggest that they’re somewhat creepy. Is this just part of the Moff’s campaign to scare us all? What I can say is that I’m really impressed with BBC America‘s social media promotion of Doctor Who; whether […]
Tiny Doctor Who teaser videos
Season 6 of new Doctor Who is nearly here. Well. It’s closer than ever before and the evil BBC are teasing us with some tiny trailer videos. There are two of them. The first is the teaser to the prequel. The prequel is a web-based release that’ll appear on the BBC Doctor Who site at […]
BBC surrenders Doctor Who spin-off franchise to Starz
I’m pleased that Starz picked up Torchwood. I watched the show simply because it was the Doctor Who spin-off franchise. I watched Children of Earth because it was horrible, good and horribly good. Torchwood, as the BBC had it, was doomed by the time Children of Earth had finished though. It’s certainly true that the […]
Ride in your very own Dalek
Ever fancied travelling around inside your very own Dalek? Not sure it can happen. However, if you’re able to live your life via your kids – then, well, here’s a happy surprise. The BBC have licensed a battery powered, 128cm tall dalek that drives around, blinks with lights and makes 10 dalek sounds. Who has […]
Dr Who Christmas Special: Christmas Carol wallpapers
There are only three more weeks to wait until we get the Matt Smith Christmas Special edition of Doctor Who. We’ve already had some trailers so we kinda know what the episode will look like but the BBC have kindly gone and released some wallpapers too. In addition to Matt Smith there is Dumbledore as […]
Smashy! Boom! Nitroglycerine meets hammer!
What happens when you smash a hammer down on a small puddle of Nitroglycerine? Okay. Imagine then that you’ve a slow motion camera filming the explosion too. What would that explosion look like if you slow things down by a factor of 100, 200 or even 600? The truth is that liquid nitroglycerine transforms into […]
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 […]
