So how did Strax survive?

Just a small taste of things to come ….

Here is a specail treat for everyone. There was a scene written for The Angels Take Manhattan that would have given Brian some closure.
Through the aid of animation, the BBC has given us an idea of what this scene would have been.

I don’t know about you, but I would have loved for this to have been included. Hopefully this version will show up as a DVD extra when the boxset is released

Here is a little treat you might have missed. The prequel to the Asylum of the Daleks.

Well, I am not sure this is what comes to mind as a Doctor Who adventure. Funny? Ok, but I for one would like to either see these segements actually tell us something or just end and make way for Series 7. I know all these segments will make sense eventually, but I for one am getting tired of waiting.

A Pond Life continues with part 2

Ever wonder what the Ponds do when they are not with The Doctor? Wonder no more. The BBC is transmitting five mini episodes collectively called Pond Life. Here is part one.

Here it is! The new Doctor Who Trialer. I would say it goes without saying, but please be aware that the trailer contains SPOILERS.

Okay, so The 10th Doctor was not the final torch bearer, but did you hear what I did?

A friend of mine forwarded this to me earlier today. I think it about says it all. We will miss you Mary Tamm.

Tributes have been paid to “truly beautiful” Doctor Who actress Mary Tamm, who died today at the age of 62.
The star was best known for playing the first incarnation of the Doctor’s companion Romana, alongside Tom Baker, but recently starred in TV series Wire In The Blood, Paradise Heights and Jonathan Creek. Her last role was in EastEnders, playing Orlenda in 2009.

Tamm, whose parents were Estonian, had a long career on stage and screen, with roles in films including The Odessa File and The Likely Lads, and a recurring role in soap Brookside as Penny Crosbie.

She died at her home in Battersea, south west London after suffering from cancer for 18 months, agent Barry Langford said. The actress, who did not learn English until she went to primary school, leaves her husband, Marcus Ringrose, daughter Lauren and seven-year-old grandson Max.

“Mary was truly beautiful in every way. She was a very spiritual lady who loved nature and adored all animals,” her agent said. “On set and offstage, her earthy northern humor and self-deprecating wit brightened every occasion. She was a consummate actress, and immensely popular in the profession.

“Mary was born in Bradford, the daughter of impoverished refugees, and through sheer talent and hard graft got herself to Rada, starred opposite Jon Voight in The Odessa File, and found a form of immortality as the Time Lady Romana opposite Tom Baker in Doctor Who. We will miss her every day.”
