Peter Capaldi is back as Doctor Who and Jenna Coleman returns as Clara for the Christmas Special. Nick Frost (Spaced) is Santa Claus and we’re expecting to encounter Dan Starkey (who normally plays Strax) as another character. Are you looking forward to it? Or is there a constant worry that this Doctor Who won’t be […]
Doctor Who: The Impossible Girl mystery – Who was the woman in the shop?
This post relates to a multi-series plot mystery in Doctor Who. It started in the last series in the episode called The Bells of St John. This was the episode in which the Doctor met Clara, again. If you’ve not seen Deep Breath, the first episode of Doctor Who season 8, then this post might […]

Proof of concept: The Animated Adventures of Doctor Who
When I first saw this unofficial animation I wondered how the BBC would react. Now we know. The Official Doctor Who has shared the animation. Created by Stephen Byrne the short animation images what a cartoon Doctor Who might be like. Rather nicely Byrne uses the 12th Doctor for his hero. This isn’t the Oncoming […]
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. For a while, at least. I’m not sure what explains the burning dinosaur stomping through London. Have roleplayers been involved […]
Doctor Who: BBC America releases “Deep Breath” promo pictures
Deep Breath is the first episode of the new Doctor Who. BBC America have released some promo pictures for it – and it’s the old gang with a new face. There’s Jenna Coleman as Clara, Neve McIntosh as Madame Vastra and, of course, Peter Capaldi as The Doctor. What do you think? Too early to […]
How long did each Doctor regeneration live for?
This infographic uses the minutes of screen time each Doctor regeneration appeared for to calculate a timeline. Special shows like Christmas and Anniversary episodes counted for one hour. We can see that the 1st Doctor did pretty well but it was Tom Baker as the 4th who has, by some distance, the longest screen time. […]
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 […]
Doctor Who: Series 8 trailer
The first full length trailer is out for Doctor Who. It feels different. The Doctor is certainly different. What do you think? We’ve got the Daleks back — and they seem happy! The Doctor is now, as suspected, over 2,000 years old. Clara isn’t even sure if he’s a good man. The Doctor will take […]
