My Thoughts on The Day of the Doctor
radiotimes.com
Ah, Ah, Ah… Spoilers
So we knew going into the episode that John Hurt definitely followed Paul McGann as The Doctor. John Hurt himself made this a public declaration months ago but because it appeared in The Sun nobody really believed him. But then the mini episode released a couple of weeks ago (called The Night of the Doctor) confirmed this. What his “crime” was that led to Smith condemning him in The Name of the Doctor was not stated specifically but was pretty obvious. Continue reading
Tonight…
No doubt not a single one of you has forgotten about tonight. Here is a reminder of what happened way, way back in the spring.
Prequel Teaser “The Night of the Doctor”
A rather teasing mini episode featuring a previous Doctor that you might find a little surprising :)
This comes with a MINI SPOILER ALERT. It won’t ruin anything, but it does confirm where in the chronology John Hurt’s Doctor appears.
Enjoy!

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special – What We Know
In view of the trailers released in the last couple of days I am re-blogging this as a reminder of what we know and what we think we know.
Just less than six months away, the episode or episodes that will mark 50 years of the UK’s favourite science fiction show is marked in furious debate, lots of speculation and an unending amount of excitement from fans young and old alike.
Due to an administrative blunder by BBC America, viewers in the USA who pre-ordered their DVDs had them early so were able to see this season’s finale The Name of the Doctor before it aired on either side of the Atlantic. As a reward for not revealing any spoilers, the crew released this “Behind the Scenes” footage.

The Enigma That is Clara Oswin Oswald
This is the first of just two articles that I wrote for Doctor Who Land that disappeared a few days ago without any communication from the site admin. The information is still relevant as it was written in light of the information at the end of The Name of the Doctor. Oh and for you lovely people, it is also longer than the original piece. Enjoy!

The Rings of Akhaten – Episode Review & Analysis
bbc.co.uk
Ah, ah, ah… spoilers
A young, professional looking man in a suit is walking along a queiet street reading his newspaper when a leaf blows down from a tree and promptly hits him in the face. Stunned by the Tysonesque punching power of this leaf, the young man staggers into the road and is almost run over by a brown Austin Allegro (I always know people who drove those cars were inept!) He is promptly saved by a pretty young lady and clearly it is love at first sight. The Doctor is watching them over the top of a Beano comic. The 1970s have arrived! Continue reading
