Next Doctor to be officially announced tomorrow.

Lets play a game of who would RTD pick as the 11th doctor if he was still writing it.

1. David Walliams or anyone from Little Britain
2. A woman
3. A completely new person made entirely in CGI
4. A black guy who was in Eastenders at some point in his life.
5. Himself.

Definitely this guy. Because RTD himself said that he should be the next Doctor. He was also in the Christmas episode last year. Oh, and he's gay, but that was obvious, right?

About to be announced.

According to this confidential it is someone younger than tennant and male.

It's Matt Smith....

Don't know if I like this.

He looks about 12.

Fuck this, you can't be serious. He best be getting a haircut before the show starts filming, and hopefully also hitting puberty.

I'm considering banging my head on my desk.

Calm down boys. He seems to be a fairly decent actor and you can't really pass judgment until you see what he does with the character.

Besides, it's a year away. He might hit a puberty by then.

I wanted Patterson Joseph. He'd have made an excellent Doctor. Fuck you rumours, don't get my hopes up next time.

The fact they played fallout boy at the end means he'll be battling his enemies with the POWER OF LOVE (not the awesome 80s one) and music while knocking his hair back like a heartthrob. Next week he'll be in OK or HELLO or CLOSER magazine as sexiest male evur despite the humongous chin.

In less depressing news, Attack of the Cybermen confirmed for DVD release in March, in addition to this month's E-Space Trilogy box set, and next month's The Rescue/The Romans double pack.

Wow. I would have thought Moffat would cast an older actor. Matt Smith must have put on one hell of a great audition. I'm sure Moffat knows what he's doing though. Hopefully he will have a better haircut when they start filming haha.

More DVDs confimed:

January 26th - E-Space Trilogy
February 23rd - The Rescue/The Romans
March 16th - Attack of the Cybermen
TBA - Delta and the Bannermen
TBA - Image of the Fendahl
TBA - The Deadly Assassin
TBA - Dalek War box set: Frontier in Space / Planet of the Daleks
TBA -The War Games

Some good ones there.

Matt Smith eh?
Aside from looking like a walking corpse, he seems pretty awesome for the role, considering how he's a bit of an outsider.

And I'm spent.

So Matt Smith hey?

Somewhat of an anticlimax, still he does seem to be a capable actor . And he appears to have impressed Moffat and theres still a whole year left to iron out the kinks the changing voice, a new interest in girls (or boys depending on the influence of RTD in the selection process). So it could work.

The Keys of Marinus confirmed for DVD.

I'm going to keep this upcoming release list up to date, mostly for me so I remember to order everything.

January 26th - E-Space Trilogy
February 23rd - The Rescue/The Romans
March 16th - Attack of the Cybermen
TBA - Delta and the Bannermen
TBA - Image of the Fendahl
TBA - The Deadly Assassin
TBA - Dalek War box set: Frontier in Space / Planet of the Daleks
TBA -The War Games
TBA - The Keys of Marinus

Also, turns out the versions of Keys of Marinus on VHS and the internet have some material cut that they've restored for the DVD release.

Lee Evans and Michelle Ryan cast for Planet of the Dead.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sho wbiz/tv/article2175561.ece

Sun reports Martha Jones appearing in one of the specials. Expect a cringe worthy Davies goodbye scene at the end.

She'll probably only be there as a part of Torchwood or UNIT. Surely there's no need for another teary goodbye.

Watched The Monster of Peladon, which means I've seen all of Jon Pertwee's serials now.

It was good, especially once the Ice Warriors turned up. Only average before that. Aggedor dying was way sadder than any of Davies' goodbye scenes, too. Fuck, I loved Aggedor.

8/10.

GallifreyOne are reporting that the remaining specials will be shot in HD. Doesn't make much difference to me, since I don't have an HD receiver, but some people might care.

Also they're saying K9 will be in about half the episodes of the next series of Sarah Jane Adventures.

It's too bad that series sucks shit.

I've seen all of them and most episodes are pretty bad. The episodes with the Trickster are probably as good as the series gets. Having K9 back might make the show just that extra bit better. Of coarse it more likely will just turn every escape sequence into "K9! Blast down that wall!".

Take my advice:
Don't.

Torchwood trailer up

Apart from the fucking evil children thing, which is done to death, it looks good. The whole "We are..." without giving the last word, and all the "They're back" could be leaning towards it being a classic villain, too. Can't think of any who fit it, though, so it might just as easily be something from Jack's past.

Attack of the Cybermen box art has been released, and it's not the serial I thought it was. I'd confused it with the Tom Baker serial Revenge of the Cybermen, when it's actually the Colin Baker one where he tries to fix the chameleon circuit and the TARDIS keeps turning into different stuff throughout it.

Bit disappointed, there.

I watched the E-Space Trilogy. It was pretty ace. State of Decay was probably the best, and Warriors' Gate the worst, but all 3 were excellent. Even Adric didn't spoil them, but he had so little screen time compared to The Doctor or Romana it'd have been hard for him to.

Full Circle - 8/10
State of Decay - 9/10
Warriors' Gate - 7/10

Watched a few more episodes. The 3 surviving ones of The Daleks' Master Plan, and the 1 surviving episode of The Celestial Toymaker.

Master Plan seemed pretty standard Dalek stuff, really. Nice to see a young Nicholas Courtney in there as Bret, but apart from that it'd all been done before in serials like The Chase.

The Celestial Toymaker seemed more interesting, from what little there is of it left. Shame that's all missing, it looked like a bit of a change of pace from the normal spaceships and alien monsters style of episode.

That's all of Hartnell watched for me now, too.
