Only a few more days until Ascension of the Cybermen the first part of the series 12 finale. We have a limited synopsis and some nice pictures in the gallery. We expect surprises and action and, of course, Cybermen. What else might we expect?
Following the BBC’s reveal of partial details for The Timeless Children, the final episode of series 12 of Doctor Who it seems the Master will be returning! If you want the reason why, check out the CultBox post: Doctor Who ‘The Timeless Children’ synopsis. We should also expect lots of details on the Chibnall Masterplan!…
With apologies for the title to Yes fans (see Gates of Delerium), I want to speculate about something bothering me. I really enjoyed Haunting of Villa Diodati but one thing I’m not sure of – why did the story happen? Why was the Doctor there on the Lake Genva shoreline (apologies to Smoke on the…
The BBC has released a decent sized gallery for Ascension of the Cybermen and in my eyes it has a steampunk aesthetic. I’ve seen comments about Ryan in a strange alien machine looking like he’s strapped in for cyber-conversion. Given someone else is also shown in a similar (the same?) device, I think it might…
For a change the BBC has put a longer video on YouTube for Haunting of Villa Diodati – it’s about the Lone Cyberman: Creating the Lone Cyberman | The Haunting of Villa Diodati | Doctor Who: Series 12 it’s not up to Behind the Scenes length, but worth a watch if you’ve 5 minutes and…
I was guest reviewer for The Doctor Who Companion this week and had plenty to say about The Haunting of Villa Diodati. Warning: my review is very positive: REVIEWED: DOCTOR WHO – THE HAUNTING OF VILLA DIODATI. *** Message Ends ***
While mine own review is yet to appear (I’ll keep you posted), all the obvious outlets had theirs out as soon as they could. As ever I’ve grabbed a few to comment on. I really like this story, but as you’ll see others were not as thrilled though we found similar strengths. Update – no…
I wasn’t part of this week’s collective view, but rest assured it’s a good one – HERE’S WHAT THE DOCTOR WHO COMPANION THOUGHT OF CAN YOU HEAR ME? If nothing else do look at James Baldock’s infographic – an idea I will be stealing! My review is here. — Message Ends —
CultBox has reported from the Gallifrey One convention that series 13 will start filming in autumn of this year (Doctor Who Series 13: filming begins in September). No real surprise, but it rather confirms the series will run late 2021. What this means for series 14 or the sixtieth we don’t yet know, but it…
The BBC has already updated the gallery for The Haunting of the Villa Diodati. They normally wait until a day or so after transmission, so this is nice to have. I wonder what they aren’t showing?! ((( Message Ends )))
In what is, for me, the most left-field announcement from Big Finish for a very long time is news of Tom Baker returning to play The Curator! Yes, the Curator. Day of the Doctor and all that! What’s more he will be adding to the intriguing mix we already know about for the forthcoming Eighth…
Following from Missy Series 01, we have the exciting news of Missy Series 02! No Doctor in sight but a welcome return for the Rufus Hound Monk as Michelle Gomez delights us again with this most mercurial of Masters. Here are my thoughts on series 01. Press release after the break…
