DOCTOR WHO: First Official Picture of Matt Smith’s Doctor with His New Companion

Here’s the first official photograph of Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman as the Doctor and companion.  Coleman will take over as the Doctor’s full time companion in this year’s Christmas special.  Little is known about who Ms. Coleman will be playing.    We don’t know where she’s from.   Earth?  Another planet?  Another reality?  We don’t know when she’s form.  The past?  The present?  The future?  We don’t even know her name.  Though some evidence points to her first name being “Clara”.  Though the BBC has yet to confirm that.  So for now we’re just going to have to satisfy ourselves with official pictures like this one.  And unofficial ones snapped by fans during location shoots.

And you’ll also notice if you look closely at this photo that Matt is sporting a slightly different look as the Doctor.  New frock coat and waistcoat.  But he’s still got the bow tie.  Because, as we all know by now, bow ties are cool.

Video: DOCTOR WHO Mini-episode Written by Kids!

Here’s the “Doctor Who” mini-episode that appeared on the legendary British children’s program “Blue Peter”.    The script was written by children who won a competition to write a short “Doctor Who” episode which somehow involved the 2012 London Olympic.  We think they did a great job.  And, with no “Doctor Who” until fall, this mini-episode makes a nice little bonus to tide fans over.

(UPDATED WITH VIDEO!) It’s Official Jenna-Louise Coleman to Be Next Companion on “Doctor Who”

It’s official former “Emmerdale” and “Waterloo Road” alum Jenna-Louise Coleman will be playing the companion in the next series of “Doctor Who”.    This is the announcement as reported on the official “Doctor Who” Twitter feed:

Jenna-Louise Coleman announced as the new Doctor Who companion. More to come….

So far fan reaction is muted.  Partially because many are unfamiliar with her work.  But also because there was a build up suggesting this companion would be different.  And many feel this choice does not live up to that promise.  UPDATE:  Here’s an interview with Jenna:

Video: Best Moment on “Doctor Who” This Year!

We’ve been a bit underwhelmed by series six of “Doctor Who”.  But the moment below is one of favorites in this or any other year.  It even inspired us to do the photoshoppery above inspired by this poster.   But none of this will make sense to you until you watch the following:

River ain’t helping, and Rory’s a-Roman.  Get it?  A-Roman.  Like a-roaming.  Yeah?  No?  Ah … never mind.

Don’t feel blue, there’s a reference to “headless monks” in this one.

Video: River Song’s Poem “A Good Man Goes to War”

This poem can be found on BBC website here.   The poem, though a mediocre piece of writing, clearly offers some hints about the coming episode with which it shares a title.  Here’s the full text:

Demons run when a Good Man goes to war.
Night will fall and drown the sun
When a Good Man goes to war.
Friendship dies and true love lies.
Night will fall  and the dark will rise
when a Good Man goes to war.

Who are the demons? How will true love lie? And what is the dark that is rising?
