Matt Smith And Karen Gillan Star In The DOCTOR WHO Mini-Ep “Good As Gold”
Found a pretty cool little bit of DOCTOR WHO goodness over on AICN so I figured I’d share it with you.
The “Script To Screen” is a program/contest/competition over in the UK that encourages school kids between the ages of 9 and 11 to expand their writing skills by penning their very own DOCTOR WHO short films. Once a winner is chosen, the script is actually produced by the BBC. As in, current Doctor Matt Smith and companion Karen Gillan actually come in and the script is turned into a full-fledged mini-ep of WHO! How f**cking cool is that?

Meet The Doctor’s New Companion
After months of speculation a dude or even an alien might be joining the Doctor (Matt Smith) on the next season of DOCTOR WHO, the BBC announced today the next companion will be …a comely young British lass named Jenna-Louise Coleman. Wow. I‘m shocked. The Doctor gallivanting around the galaxy with a cute girl. Bet nobody saw that coming.

Rumor Mill: Is SHERLOCK Star Benedict Cumberbatch Heading To DOCTOR WHO?
Rumor mill: The Daily Express is claiming Benedict Cumberbatch is in talks to play the Doctor‘s arch-nemesis “The Master” in the next season of DOCTOR WHO. Word is the WHO producers (who also produce the Cumberbatch-led SHERLOCK series) are hoping his schedule will permit (he’s got THE HOBBIT coming out later this year and is busy shooting STAR TREK 2 at the moment) and he’ll give the series (celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this year) the solid buzz boost it’ll need to compensate for co-stars Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill upcoming exodus.

DOCTOR WHO Stars Karen Gillan And Arthur Darvill To Exit Next Season
DOCTOR WHO show runner Stephen Moffat has announced that current companions Amy (ginger goddess Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) will exit the show next season and that their departure will be “heartbreaking”. Oh great, I feel another Donna Noble incident coming on.
Per /film: Doctor Who executive producer and head writer Steven Moffat announced this week that stars Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, who play Amy and Rory on the long-running sci-fi series, will be exiting the show in the next series. “I’m not telling you when and I’m certainly not telling you how, but that story is going to come to a heartbreaking end,” he said. Moffat also promised that the Doctor (Matt Smith) would be meeting “a new friend” in coming episodes, though he declined to mention anything about “he, she, or it.”
As if these two need yet another giant crisis/trauma. In the last season alone, Amy was replaced by a clone, had her baby stolen from her, discovered her baby grew up to become River Song (a woman Amy has been running into, on and off, for two seasons now and ultimately murders/marries The Doctor), was abandoned in time by her husband Rory (who isn’t actually Rory because Rory died a season earlier and replaced by a clone who had all of Rory’s memories but was sent to kill Amy and The Doctor) who ultimately had to allow the Doctor to kill an alternate universe version of her in order to allow the current universe version of her to …you know what? The easiest way to say it was with the “As if these two need yet another giant crisis/trauma” statement. I can only imagine that those uninitiated to WHO had no f**king clue what I was rambling on about just now.

EXTERMINATE! Stephen Moffat Blasts DOCTOR WHO Reboot Movie Rumors
Remember that announcement a couple weeks back that director David Yates (he of the last four HARRY POTTER films and a ton of British tele-movies you’ve probably never seen) would be spearheading a big-screen DOCTOR WHO reboot for the BBC? Well, it would seem Stephen Moffat, captain of current run of the WHO series and pretty much a big deal as far as the BBC is concerned, is having none of that sh*t.

HARRY POTTER Director David Yates To Helm Big Screen DOCTOR WHO Reboot
Per Variety: HARRY POTTER director David Yates is teaming up with the BBC to turn its iconic sci-fi TV series DOCTOR WHO into a bigscreen franchise, Variety’s Adam Dawtrey exclusively reports from London. Yates, who directed the last four Potter films, told Variety that he is about to start work on developing the pic with Jane Tranter, BBC Worldwide’s L.A.-based exec VP of programming and production. “We’re looking at writers now,” Yates said. “We’re going to spend two to three years to get it right. … It needs quite a radical transformation to take it into the bigger arena.” Yates made clear that his movie adaptation would not follow on from the current TV series, but would take a completely fresh approach.
I’m not totally sure how to properly process the information above without typing the word “FU*K” over and over again until my fingers begin to bleed.
Why reboot now? Why reboot something as beloved as DOCTOR WHO? And, more importantly, why go full reboot? Why not just have current Doctor Matt Smith die and regenerate into a new Doctor Who whose adventures are exclusively on the big screen?
I don’t understand the rationale of abandoning fifty years of mythos and history (on the 50th anniversary of the series) in favor of a big budget adventure that will no doubt pale in comparison to what came before. Part of what makes this series so great (especially the more recent episodes) is the history between the characters and their stories. Abandoning all that in favor of some glitzy Hollywood-ized redo (you know there’s some exec out there just itching to see Johnny Depp in the lead) is an insult to the series, the characters and the entire fanbase.

Film Bites: BBC’s Tribute To Elisabeth Sladen
The BBC delivered a rather nice little tribute to Elisabeth Sladen (who passed away last week at age 63) after the season premiere of DOCTOR WHO last Saturday. Here’s the entire vid (split into two parts) and even non-WHO fans will get a little choked up. RIP Sladen. You will be missed.

Film Bites: The Fine Brothers Sum Up 47 Years Of DOCTOR WHO In Six Minutes
As far as dreams go, watching every single episode of DOCTOR WHO is one of the most epic any true geek can have. It’s also pretty insane and a little more than stupid. After all, WHO has been on the air for 47 years. During those 47 years, WHO has racked up over 700 episodes, 3 official spin-off series (K-9 AND COMPANY, THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES and TORCHWOOD) and an unofficial one (the Aussie kiddie series K-9), two theatrical pics (DR WHO AND THE DALEKS and DALEKS: INVASION EARTH) and a myriad of other tie-ins (novels, comics, cartoons, web series, radio shows). With that much material to deal with, WHO is almost the impossible geek dream.
Well, impossible for those who actually have a life. Who knows? I could maybe try to check out all the available shows and watch them all in order. It would pretty much mean that I’d have to quit running the site, going out into public, communicating with humanity, being a husband/father, etc.

Film Bites: DOCTOR WHO Season 6 Trailer
I’m not a big TV watcher. At the moment, COMMUNITY and GLEE (laugh it up, fuzzball) are about the only two shows that I watch the day they premiere. Everything else gets DVR’d, Hulu’d or Netflix Instant’d and I usually never get around to watching any of it.
That having been said, DOCTOR WHO premieres this April on BBC America and I cannot wait. WHO is currently the only show that I will actually go out of my way to see. If someone told me I needed to hike twenty miles to see a new WHO, I’d do it. If someone told me that I’d have to rob a bank to see a new ep, I’d…probably not do it. But I’d seriously think about it. I’m sidetracking here. Point is, new WHO means you’ve got something to regularly devote an hour a week for about twelve weeks to.
