Doctor Who blockbuster!


Doctor Who was last on the silver screen in the swinging Sixties

Who else is looking forward to the upcoming Doctor Who movie directed by David Yates (Harry Potter)?

Variety, the Hollywood trade paper, has announced that a new feature film will be made in the next three years, which will be separate to the television series. This rules out any possibility of either David Tennant or Matt Smith in a starring role.

This will be the third time that the world-famous Time Lord has graced the silver screen...

Doctor Who Convention



BBC Worldwide has revealed plans for what is being dubbed the first official Doctor Who Convention since the series' reboot in 2005.

The event will take place on the 24 and 25 March 2012 at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff, Wales. Tickets are priced at £99 and limited to 1500 for each of the days.

Matt Smith commented on the convention’s announcement: “It’s brilliant that the first official convention is being held in Cardiff, the home of Doctor Who. I’m really looking forward to seeing the fans there, and remember – bow ties are cool!”

Steven Moffat said: “A whole weekend dedicated to all things Doctor Who, brilliant! We’re going to be celebrating the whole team behind the show, people who bring to life the Doctor’s craziest adventures and letting fans into some of our trade secrets. If you want to get under the skin of Doctor Who this is an unmissable event!”

Given limited ticket availability, I can foresee a reprise of the 20th Anniversary Convention in Longleat (circa 1983). Somehow I can't see myself getting into this one.

Please visit Doctor Who Convention for further information.

Doctor Who Encyclopedia for iPad



Doctor Who is no stranger to the App Store with digital comics and an applauded video game for iOS. Now iPad-owning Doctor Who fans can download the Encyclopedia, too.

In view of the iPad's capacious touchscreen. A glossy and image-laden book is ideal fodder. However, some fans may take exception to further in-app purchases if they wish to read all about the Doctor's incarnations, allies and enemies since the series returned to television screens in 2005.
