Doctor Who Regeneration and New Series Teaser

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Well, the era of David Tennant and Russell T Davies has officially come to an end. Regardless of your feelings toward “The End of Time” episode, David Tennant’s version of the Doctor will be missed by many. Tennant may be our generation’s Tom Baker, arguably the most recognizable face of the good Time Lord. For those interested in Tennant’s regeneration into Matt Smith, click on the video below. If people don’t want the ending ruined, I suggest skipping this video and moving down to the next one.

I have high hopes for Matt Smith’s and Steven Moffat’s run on Doctor Who and this teaser for the 2010 season looks promising. In case, things moved a little too quickly for you, Rich Johnston at his Bleeding Cool site has parsed out highlights from the teaser.

Spring can’t come fast enough!

Doctor Who: The End of Time Part 2

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

“The End of Time” will air its second part on New Year’s Day (or January 2 if you live in the U.S.) and to whet appetites for David Tennant’s final Doctor Who story, the BBC has released an exclusive scene from the episode. The Timelords are not reacting well to the events of the Time War; their very existence now in the hands of the Doctor. Some accept this fate as the natural order of the Universe — all things must come to an end. But not the Lord President (Timothy Dalton), who believes the Time Lords should continue on forever.

The Doctor’s role in the Time War is hinted at here: is he responsible for the destruction of Timelords and Daleks? Part 2 may answer all our questions about the last of the Timelords.

And one more exclusive clip showing the Doctor (David Tennant) professing his love for the Master (John Simm).

Doctor Who: The End of Time Part 2

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I hope everyone had a very, Merry Christmas and received all the gifts they asked for! Here is a special Doctor Who gift that I did not have time to wrap, but hope you all enjoy: the trailer for the second part of “The End of Time.” The Doctor and the Master are heading toward a show down that may cost both of them their lives. The Timelords are making a play to return to the universe. And Wilf wants to arm the Doctor. All very exciting stuff!

“The End of Time” part 2 airs New Year’s Day on BBC 1 and debuts January 2 on BBC America.

IDW Publishing’s January Doctor Who Comic Preview

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

In January, Matthew Smith takes over the lead role on Doctor Who, leaving fans of David Tennant broken, empty shells. To these fans, I say fear not; thanks to IDW Publishing, David Tennant lives on, at least in comic form, with the release in January of Doctor Who #7. Here is how IDW Publishing describes the issue:

IDW Publishing: Doctor Who #7

DOCTOR WHO #7

Written by Tony Lee, art by Al Davison, cover by Paul Grist and Davison.

Part 1 of the two-part “Tessaract,” featuring the return of artist Al Davison. When a 5th-dimensional spacecraft crashes into and through the TARDIS, it’s up to the Doctor and his two new friends to stabilize the console room and stop both ships from imploding! But the console room is missing, and the other ship is filled with an alien race that wants the Doctor dead!

32 pages, $3.99.


And keeping with the David Tennant theme, the BBC has released its holiday promo wallpaper featuring Mr. Tennant as the Doctor and a group of reindeer.

The upcoming Doctor Who episode “The End of Time” promises to be a tearful send off for David Tennant, but it won’t be the first time Doctor Who made us cry. That honor goes to the classic episode “Earthshock” starring Peter Davison as the fifth Doctor. Adric, the Doctor’s young companion nobly sacrifices himself in order to defeat the evil Cybermen. As fans sit around mourning the death of David Tennant’s Doctor, remember we haven’t cried this much since Adric died!

Doctor Who: The End of Time Children in Need Special Clip

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

A three-minute clip for the new Doctor Who special, “The End of Time” was broadcast exclusively on the Children in Need charity special Friday. In it we see David Tennant’s Doctor meet with Ood Sigma from the season four episode “Planet of the Ood.”

Doctor Who: “The End of Time” will air in December and is David Tennant’s final episode as the Doctor. It also marks the end of Russell T Davies’ involvement with the show, which he resurrected to much acclaim in 2005.
