Today the BBC released pictures of the Cybermen as they will appear in the upcoming season of Doctor Who. Let’s take a look, shall we? Looks pretty spiffy, doesn’t it? 🙂

On Doctor Who DVDs
Doctor Who. Season one. DVD. Sure, I’ll have to import it from Canada, but who cares? It’s new Doctor Who, on DVD, in NTSC region 1 format. 🙂 Woo-hoo!
On the Doctor's Greatest Foes
There’s a rumor that in the upcoming season of Doctor Who there may be a story pitting the Doctor’s two greatest foes against one another–the Daleks and the Cybermen. Sure, it’s a fanwanky concept. That’s the appeal. So, if I were writing a Dalek vs. Cybermen story, this is what I’d do…. Set it duringContinue reading “On the Doctor's Greatest Foes”
On Doing a Tech Round-Up
Two things. Reader Kathryn Meadmore asked me to pass along the following information for UK-based Whovians: UKTV Gold are showing all 13 episodes from the new series of Dr Who in one week. It premiers on Sunday 23rd October at 7pm, and viewers can expect to see the first three parts back-to-back, followed by double-billsContinue reading “On Doing a Tech Round-Up”
On Doctor Who for the PSP

On Doctor Who DVDs
Amazon has set up a page to gauge customer interest in a DVD release of the Christopher Eccleston Doctor Who series. Voting for its release may not bring the show to American shores any sooner, but it certainly can’t hurt.
On the Return of K9
I mentioned here a few weeks ago that Lis Sladen will be appearing as Sarah Jane Smith in the next season of Doctor Who. The BBC has now revealed that, in addition to Ms. Sladen, K9, the robotic dog from the Tom Baker era, will be appearing as well. Dog! Dog! Dog! 🙂
On Shada
Road trip. Friday. Me and my dad, on the way to Baltimore. It’s a long trip from Raleigh to Baltimore. Six hours, under the best of conditions. The roads, at least from Raleigh to Richmond — half-way there — are desolate stretches of the American landscape. Boredom inducing. I took two Doctor Who audios forContinue reading “On Shada”
On Doctor Who's Second Season
The BBC made a number of announcements about Doctor Who‘s new season. Lis Sladen will be reprising her role as Sarah Jane Smith. Sarah travelled with the third and fourth Doctors in the mid-1970s. Stephen Fry will be writing an episode. Anthony Stewart Head will make an appearance. And somewhere a Cyberman is saying “Excellent.”Continue reading “On Doctor Who's Second Season”
On Stephen Fry and Doctor Who
Stephen Fry is in talks to write an episode of Doctor Who. Intriguing news, this is. I’ve enjoyed Fry’s novels. He’s clearly a science fiction fan to judge by Making History, and he’s certainly a fan of Doctor Who in particular. He gave a fantastic performance in the Doctor Who audio, Death Comes to Time,Continue reading “On Stephen Fry and Doctor Who”
