The Mirror, a British newspaper, is claiming that Jenna Coleman will quit her role as Clara Oswald in Doctor Who. The actress is said to leave at Christmas. A nameless source was quoted; “The conversations about Jenna’s exit have started, and a plan is in place which is being ironed out.” It makes sense that […]

Doctor Who: Deep Breath trailer
The first trailer for Deep Breath, the first episode of the new Doctor Who, is out. It might just be one of those episodes in which the newly regenerated Doctor is out for the count.

Doctor Who: Listen
The latest Doctor Who teaser trailer out. The current pattern continues. It feels like Doctor Who to begin with, the music, the TARDIS… but the Doctor’s not inside. He’s on the roof instead and seems to be meditating. “Listen” he demands in a husk of a shout. It’s a little creepy. Is this a creepy […]
Doctor Who: Commonwealth Games opening trailer
Just before the Commonwealth Games opening the BBC ran a new trailer for Doctor Who. It’s very much a re-cut of the 12th Doctor’s current introduction. The dinosaur in London is back. Mr long-eye alien is back. The Garrus (Mass Effect) alien is back. Clara’s inability to say whether the Doctor is still a good […]
Prelude to a War: A Review of The Sixth Doctor Sourcebook
There’s every possibility you’re one of the people who considers Colin Baker’s tenure as the nadir of classic Doctor Who.
