Doctor Who: Exclusive The Caretaker poster revealed

The Doctor goes under cover this week, coming face to face not only with the terrifying Skovox Blitzer, but also with Clara’s love interest Danny Pink. Designer Stuart Manning drew influences from the 50s, 60s and 70s to create his poster for episode six, The Caretaker…  

"Writer Gareth Roberts’ episodes have a wonderful sense of unfussiness about them, which somehow feels very seventies to me," says Stuart. "So that was the starting point – blocky fonts and simple, chunky shapes. I also wanted to pick up on the theme of overlapping relationships after-hours, but in a tongue in cheek way, which inspired the silhouettes. So film noir meets Abigail’s Party seemed to fit the bill nicely."

These posters are so cool. Easily one of the best things the BBC did with Doctor Who this year.

Doctor What? American fans complain about Peter Capaldi's accent

Confusion is driving viewers across the pond to use subtitles for the new Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi because of his Scottish accent

Although I do watch Doctor Who with subtitle on most of the time, it's definitely not because of Capaldi's accent. It's the fast dialogs in general that I can't quite catch. This is just modern television and Moffat's style, especially. So it's really not fair of the press to paint this as just another "stupid Americans so self-centered they can't understand accent!" example.

All of Deep Breath's references and callbacks

Did you catch all the callbacks and references in Deep Breath? Check out this list by Den of Geeks.

[...] The longer you watch Doctor Who, you find yourself relating less to the everypeople Companions and more to the Doctor. From our perspective, the world might change, but we always stay the same–as friends come and go, as we move from one place to another. It takes someone else to notice when we become a new person. Maybe that’s why the Doctor always seeks out new Companions: So that the man who never changes can change, over and over again.

All together now, *cries*.

Aw, the Doctor may not have romantic feeling for Amy. But he sure does appreciate the versatility of her long legs.

But wait, does Clara really not know who Amy is? I seem to remember her saying something like "That woman is all legs!" when looking at Amy's photo on the TARDIS's console...

The best shot is the one not included here, in which it cut to the Doctor looking at his own reflection on the tray. You know, just in case you didn't catch that self-reflective side glance. Good stuff.

Doctor Who neuroscience special: the brain of a Time Lord

The "sci" in sci-fi...

Dean Burnett: Doctor Who is about to return. The Doctor has always had superior cognitive abilities, but what is the neuroscience that could explain this?

Yup, T minus not-soon-enough hour till Doctor Who Season 8 premieres - things are getting heavy around here!

From Jenna,

“Normally when you read the script, at this point the Doctor would embrace this scene or dance or be running around the console and actually, there were times when I think, especially in the early days when Peter was finding his Doctor, he would say, ‘Actually, no, I’m just going to stand here.’ It’s that thing where instead of going to the room, the room coming to him. And I feel like he was really bold and brave and made those changes, and that was because that was Peter doing it his way,”

From Peter,

"I absolutely grew up with it. So all of those Doctors probably made me, even if I hadn’t been cast as the Doctor, my acting would probably have been influenced by William Hartnell or Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and all of the other guys. [...] So I have no need to specifically pull them out of the bag, although occasionally sometimes in the show, in the season, there are some little specific things that are very directly references to previous Doctors. But I love when the show does that."

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

“HIS GREATEST moment of Doctor Who fanboy-fantasy realization thus far came when he was called upon for the first time to operate the TARDIS, the homely 60s-era London police box that serves as the Doctor’s vessel for time travel. As he stood surrounded by set technicians explaining how to use it, Capaldi says, “I had to be very patient and not say to them, ‘I know exactly how to operate it. You don’t have to tell me a thing. Moon Man is here.’”
