By now I’m sure you’ll have seen (several times, with and without pop music) the official series 11 trailer from the BBC, but did you find out about if from the BBC’s newsletter? If so you’ll have also seen lots of Big Finish bits as well.
Is is just me or does Jodie Whittaker look more than a little steampunk in the recent set of images from the BBC? Not just the big safety goggles, but also still wearing (I think) the Capaldi outfit as she makes a new sonic. Something to look out for! +++ Message Ends +++

I really liked the September 2018 Doctor Who main range release The Dispossessed by Mark Morris. It’s a Seventh Doctor story with Ace, Mel, a host of intriguing characters and a mysterious setting. What’s not to like! My CultBox review is: Doctor Who: The Dispossessed review. ((( Message Ends )))
Stuart Manning has just produced a poster for Doctor Who and the Daleks aka The Dead Planet. No word yet on whether he will be doing posters for Jodie Whittaker’s run of the series, but let’s hope so! +++ Message Ends +++
In news bound to prove popular, Big Finish has revealed Michelle Gomez will return to the part of Missy for a boxset due February 2019. We don’t have all the details of stories but we do know she will be meeting the Meddling Monk as played (with relish) by Rufus Hound. The set is available…
Music and sound maestro Robert T Harvey kindly spared some of his time to give some insight into the world of a composer and sound designer, and discussed some of his work with Big Finish. It’s a fascinating read…
The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles gives Jacob Dudman the chance to perform as the Eleventh Doctor in four hour-long audio dramas. They are in the Companion Chronicles format, meaning (generally) narrative and a second actor to flesh out the story. Under the watchful ear of director Helen Goldwyn, Jacob does (another) great job in recreating a modern incarnation of the…
There’s a boxset sale at Big Finish running until the end of September 20 (UK time). Although not in the promotional picture (left), The Second Doctor Companion Chronicles Volume 2 in which I wrote Tactics of Defeat heads the list of titles! If you want to pick this up (or any of the other great titles), check…
I enjoyed Class Volume 1 and was pleased to find Volume 2 was at least as strong. Most pleasing was how good the Ace and Daleks story was. I reviewed it for CultBox: Class: The Audio Adventures Volume 2 review. +++ Message Ends +++
Here’s a thing – I buy a Doctor Who calendar each year, and with the various numbers of Doctors, getting them all in twelve months has been a challenge and I did wonder how the official calendar would deal with 2019 and Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor. The answer? Two different calendars! If you want the new Doctor…
So, another day, another teaser trailer (surely a decent trailer soon, perhaps after Strictly?). It tells us almost nothing except making a very blunt ‘smashing the glass ceiling’ point. I have to say I’m so unaware I didn’t even make the connection, for me it was about getting rid of the elaborate and replacing it with…
Today’s (Saturday September 8, 2018) Times has an interview with Jodie Whittaker, which includes a Chris Chibnall interview as well. It’s by Andrew Billen (the photo, left, is by Dan Kennedy). The article is behind a paywall – you may be able to get hold of a copy of the paper (it’s in the magazine). The link…
