Here’s a fun Doctor Who article I found on i09.com about the large number of women dressing up as cos-playing as the Doctor! A good read and some great pictures.
Why do so many women want to dress up as the Doctor, rather than his many companions? And why do they create such beautifully femme versions of the Time Lord’s eccentric costumes? And most of all, why doesn’t the Doctor look like this on television? At Gallifrey, we went to a panel on “Crossplay” to find out more about this amazing phenomenon, and then we followed up by interviewing
Recently there was a Doctor Who concert in Australia (what?), and Steven Moffat himself teased this: “Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary is coming. In Cardiff, we’re gearing up for the biggest, the best and the most ambitious season we’ve ever made. There will be shocks, surprises and heartbreak—the Doctor is about to say goodbye to his very best friends, Amy and Rory.
“And then he’s about to say hello to someone very different—the Doctor is going to meet someone very new in the very last place he could ever have expected …”
That doesn’t seem too promising for the Ponds, who have become the longest running companions since the show’s reboot!?!
Sure, I mean who doesn’t want a TARDIS? Travel time and space and mess around? sillysparrowness on Youtube has posted her building a TARDIS – you need to check this out, its a pretty good time
Rumors have been swirling for a few days now, what would this tweet from Doctor Who main-man Steven Moffat mean? Could Sophia Myles who played Madame de Pompadour in the ”The Girl in the Fireplace” episode be returning? Could she be the next companion?
I have no idea – but be sure to follow them both on twitter, and stay tuned for more news – soooon (I hope)!
Looks like there’s some action in some of the management of Doctor Who, as Caroline Skinner (who produced The Fades) is the new executive producer for Doctor Who, taking the reigns from Beth Willis and Piers Wenger.
Finally, while I’m overjoyed that Christmas is here, and hopefully everyone is enjoying themselves – anytime now the Doctor Who Christmas Special, The Widow And The Wardbrobe should be starting anytime for us over here in the US! Be sure to check your local listing (and set that DVR, if you haven’t)!
I love Gingerbread and the Doctor loves Gingers, right? ;0 So what better way to celebrate the Doctor at Christmas time (other than enjoying the Doctor Who Christmas Special) than making a Doctor Who Gingerbread? Here’s a great ‘how-to’ video, enjoy!
I’ve touched on it before, but just as friendly reminder, the 2011 Christmas Doctor Who episode, “The Doctor, The Widow & the Wardrobe”, will air on Christmas Day (12/25/11), probably between 5 and 7pm (depending on your location).
The Blogtor Who website has a massive amount of news and information Doctor Who, be sure to check them out. They’ve also got a ton of photos from the upcoming Christmas Special, be sure to check the photos out too! (a few in this post, thanks to them!)
The Doctor is back (well, just for a wee moment), but he’ll really be back on Christmas Day, here’s the prequel episode. Looks like our favorite Time Lord is in danger, as usual
If you had been worried about a Hollywood movie destroying our love of the Doctor, Moffat himself tweeted that’s a big “No”. So see the tweet, relish that our favorite Time Lord is safe, for now!
