Travels in the Fourth Dimension

I find it interesting how much Barbara looks like original producer Verity Lambert.

the Five Doctors

I’m watching the Five Doctors with the Easter Egg commentary and its always nice to hear Tennant fanboying out over who!

Watching this also makes me think of two things:

1.  the Raston Warrior Robot needs to return with little to no updates to the design because its perfect as is

2. Moffat needs to bring Susan back and wrap that story up while Carole Ann Ford can still do it.  Because the way she isn’t dealt with at all in this story is very frustrating.

Rare video interview of the First Doctor discovered

A unique, rediscovered TV interview, showing First Doctor William Hartnell shortly after leaving Doctor Who, comes to DVD this month.

Hartnell was filmed for BBC regional news programme, Points West in his dressing room, as he prepared to perform in the pantomime Puss in Boots in Taunton.

When asked about the Daleks, Hartnell claimed that “They were difficult to play to, because you’re not looking into human eyes, you’re looking at a metal object.” He goes on to say he found this “distracting”.

And when pressed about his ability to shake off the association with Doctor Who and its extraordinary public popularity, Hartnell assuredly claims that he’ll do it by “by making a success in something else” because he’s “a legitimate character actor – of the theatre and film”.

The interview appears in the DVD release of Doctor Who: The Tenth Planet. Read the rest at DoctorWho.tv

Alex Kingston’s response to winning the Anglophenia Fan Favorite’s Tornament

[doctorwho]

Ok, we are just 50 days away from the November 23rd premiere of The Day of The Doctor.

So we figured, why not start a 50 Day meme.

Each day, make a post answering the day’s question. It can be text, an image, your art, a video — whatever you think best expresses your answer. Post it to your blog with the tag 50 Days of Doctor Who 50th. We’ll go through the tag and reblog some of our favs.

50 Days is a lot of dayage. If you can do all 50, awesome! If you can only do some, do it anyway. The point is to have fun with this.

So let’s begin…

October 04: Who was your first Doctor?

Tom Baker on PBS in America when I was a child.

I would watch with my grandparents, sSometimes with my head under the covers to hide my face.

[doctor-who-companion]

We are aware that Peter Capaldi’s played a big old part in Doctor Who and Torchwood before and we are not going to ignore the fact. I remember Russell told me that he had a big old plan as to why there were two Peter Capaldi’s in the Who universe: one in Pompeii and one in Torchwood. When I cast Peter and Russell got in touch to say how pleased he was, I said, ‘Okay, what was your theory and does it still work?” and he said, ‘Yes it does. Here it is…’ We’ll play that one out over time. It’s actually quite neat.” The face is not set from birth. It’s not like he was always going to be one day Peter Capaldi. We know that’s the case because in The War Games he has a choice of faces. So we know it’s not set, so where does he get those faces from? They can’t just be randomly generated because they’ve got lines. They’ve aged. When he turns into Peter he’ll actually have lines on his face. So where did that face come from?

Doctor Who, Running since 1963

[doctorwho]

Doctor Who Exclusive: Original TARDIS blueprints revealed | Radio Times

An amazingly rare artefact has surfaced in the collection of director Waris Hussein – his original, personally annotated studio floorplan for Doctor Who’s pilot episode from 1963. The document is dated “25/9” – 25 September, today’s date 50 years ago. This week, five decades ago, the cast and crew of Doctor Who were busy gearing up for episode one, An Unearthly Child, which would be recorded on Friday 27 September.

While the actors rehearsed in the less-than-glamorous Drill Hall in Uxbridge Road, London W12, the BBC design team and set builders were constructing the sets according to this floorplan at nearby Lime Grove Studios. The episode was written to be taped “as live”, with only one break in recording. “In those days,” says Waris, “we shot continuously on four cameras with very few breaks in the tape. You had to know exactly what you were doing. It was almost mathematical in its strategy.”
