Righty!
Time for a bit of a thread revival!
Lots of new topics to talk about from the last two or so months
SEASON 6
Filming has begun, most of the writers have been confirmed. The Doctor's costume has been left unchanged. Lots of set photographs but nothing too revealing.
Season will be split into two parts, 7 episodes in the spring, 6 episodes in the autumn. Personally I'm not entirely sold on the idea, especially if the latter half gets named as season 7 but we'll see - as ever how it turns out.
Anyone else got any other news on this? Anyone know if Murray Gold's coming back next year?
BOOKS
Michael Moorcock's Coming of the Terraphiles is out on the 14th with an audiobook read by Clive Mantle. The extract which was in DWM seemed pretty damn good so it should be interesting to get my hands on this one. Finally a good idea to get some Who books that arent apart of the New Series Adventures.
DWM's current strip featuring the Axons is definitely one of the better ones of recent times and well worth a read for anyone.
Also loads of annuals and databooks with vague spoilers from Steven Moffatt.
TV
The 4th season of Doctor Who's OTHER piss-poor spin off The Sarah Jane Adventures starts next week. The episodes with The Doctor and Jo in look fairly good but the rest of the show looks as low budget and badly acted as it ever was.
Also, did anyone manage to catch the Doctor Who Proms?? This, of all things proves just how much better Season 5's soundtrack was to the previous 4.
AUDIO
Moving along with Big Finish's new Eighth Doctor Season fairly swiftly with an unexpected new foe for the series! Nevermore was a bit of a weak point but Death in Blackpool, Situation Vacant and The Book of Kells show that this season is at least on par with the first two.
Also, The Sixth Doctor and Evelyn Smythe return next year to be facing the Axons. Good to see them finally getting some more love!
Havent been following Demon's Quest yet but will most definitely catch up on that soon.
Also, just picked up this today:
The Movie extras are bloody good from what I've seen but I havent checked out much else yet. Need to sell my original versions of Weng Chiang and Androzani now though. Any takers?
