The Doctor, upsets some cinema goers . . . .

Over at ICWales.co.uk, reports have come in over the cinema advertising for Doctor Who's Series 4. Apparently the BBC with its advertising campaign for the show, have spent close to £500,000 promoting the award-winning series to movie goers. Many disgruntled licence payers have now attacked the BBC over this move, stating that it is a waste of money.

A fair enough call really, the show is one of the highest rated programs in the UK. So why is this a necessary expense? Surely with the series in its current winning position, that money could be better utilized elsewhere. An additional episode, a longer Christmas Special or just simply more special effects come to my mind at least.

A viewer expressed his disgust at the spending, after contacting the BBC Radio 4 Feedback show stating "The BBC budget was meant for programming not advertising" and that "these budgets are already under pressure". Jackie Brandreth head of brand at the BBC, has defended this spending. Stating that the corporation always spent a small proportion on its “off air” activities, and that this was an attempt to reach younger audiences. Jackie also said, “The cinema is a pilot project to assess whether this is a good medium to talk to these younger audiences.”

A BBC spokesman said the cinema project had cost less than £500,000. How much less I guess we really all wonder now, £499,999.99? What are your feelings on the matter? I personally enjoyed the trailer, but feel that the money could have been better spent elsewhere. Please feel free to comment on the post.

Starships and Spacestations
by Justin Richards

The Doctor has his TARDIS to get him from place to place and time to time, but the rest of the Universe relies on more conventional transport...

From the British Space Programme of the late twentieth century to Earth's Empire in the far future, from the terrifying Dalek Fleet to deadly Cyber Ships, this book documents the many starships and spacestations that the Doctor and his companions have encountered on their travels.

He has solved mysterious on spacestations and stopped invasions spearheaded by starships. He has been held prisoner in space, escaped from the moon, witnessed the arrival of the Sycorax and the crash landing of a space pig...More than anyone else, the Doctor has seen the development of space travel between countless worlds.

In this stunningly-illustrated book, "Doctor Who" historian Justin Richards documents the amazing story of Earth's ventures into space, examines the many alien fleets who have paid Earth a visit, and explores the other starships and spacestations that the Doctor has encountered on his many travels...


The cover for Starships and Spacestations can also be seen below and features The Doctor (David Tennant) and Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) on the cover as well as some Daleks and the Tardis interior.

Major Changes?

Sci Fi Pulse is currently claiming that some major changes are on the way for Doctor Who and Torchwood. These changes effect both of these shows greatly and in my own eyes seem like very stupid ideas and cannot be completely believed until there is a confirmation by the BBC. Highlight below to read about the changes SCI FI Pulse are claiming. Thanks To WhovianNet for this information:

The website claims that both Burn Gorman (Owen) and Naoko Mori (Tosh) will be leaving Torchwood for its third series. John Barrowman (Captain Jack) will also be stepping down, and will return to the show but only 'in a recurring capacity'. Freema Agyeman (Martha) will make her final appearance in Doctor Who in Series Four and will be returning to Torchwood full time for Series 3.A third series of Torchwood has been commissioned, but currently only 5 episodes have been confirmed. These changes in the format mean that the third series of Torchwood will be able to be shown in a Saturday night slot, usually occupied by Doctor Who, and producers are looking to Torchwood to act as a buffer between the main series of Doctor Who.Now onto Doctor Who, and there is a very good reason why Catherine Tate (Donna) is leaving after just one series. Much like Martha, her exit has been planned right from the off, though the big difference is Donna will turn out to be a pretty nasty piece of work, which is why the finale features the return of Captain Jack, Sarah Jane Smith, Martha Jones and Rose Tyler.In addition, the website claims that David Tennant will be leaving the series and that the Doctor will regenerate during the last few minutes of the 2009 Christmas Special. Apparently, for the last few months. filming has been well underway on the four specials, the first of which will be the 2008 Christmas Special followed by two specials in the year and ending with the 2009 Christmas special, which is in its final six weeks of production now. This means that Tennant will have 'officially' left the series in just two weeks time, when he finishes filming the final moments of the 2009 Christmas Special.

Series 4 Script Leak

Two Doctor Who scripts have recently leaked out to the press. Although we do not know what happens in these episodes The Sun claims that (highlight to view):

Episodes nine and ten form a two-parter, which is due to be screened in early summer.
They see the Doctor and sidekick Donna Noble – played by Catherine Tate – ending up in the 51st Century in a giant library, “a whole planet of books”, that’s been abandoned for 100 years.
Ironically the library contains many books that give away SPOILERS about people’s life stories.
ER star Alex Kingston also stars as an astronaut-cum-archaeologist called Professor River Song. The library is full of sinister things such as dead bodies, “data ghosts”, the Suit Creature and the dreaded Vashta Nerada “piranhas of the air – shadows that melt the flesh”.
In later scenes, the Doc and Donna get separated and she ends up in a mysterious hospital where she meets another Doctor – Doctor Moon.
All the while she is trying to work out what is going on and what has happened to her Doctor



This all sounds very exciting if it is indeed true. To read more on this story Click Here.
