There is something enormously heartening about the way this story introduces two of classic Doctor Who‘s favorite characters back into the newly launched series. It’s not done just as a squee moment for diehard fans, nor is it an attempt to ingratiate the old guard with the show’s new, younger audience. The return of Sarah […]
It’s his birthday (April 18). What further excuse do we need for a wallow in some of David Tennant‘s greatest hits? “No second chances” (“The Christmas Invasion”) Still very much deciding what kind of Doctor he would be, this is the point at which he takes charge. It’s his equivalent of Matt Smith’s speech at […]
Note: This is not a list of the monstrous armies that have come back time and time again to do battle with the Doctor, but the individual characters he has run into on his travels many times over. These are the people whose legends loomed so large in classic Doctor Who they simply had to […]
Let’s start with an optical illusion. Watch this trailer for the 1965 Gerry and the Pacemakers movie (I know, I didn’t realise there was a Gerry and the Pacemakers movie either) Ferry Cross The Mersey. Now watch it again looking for a young Elisabeth Sladen, who is apparently in there somewhere. Hard not to see […]
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD: You’re an acclaimed TV writer, and you’ve worked hard to make fans fall madly in love with your characters. You’ve cast charismatic actors in the roles, and they’ve brought great dimension to your creations, realizing them far beyond what you had imagined. Your show is a success. But what happens when those […]
The 26-year-old daughter of late Doctor Who companion Elisabeth Sladen has offered a rare look at her mother in an interview. Sadie Miller tells the Radio Times, “I’ve come to realize how important Mum was, as Sarah Jane, to a lot of people, but to me it’s still a very small corner of my life […]
All set for the midseason premiere of Doctor Who this Saturday (August 27) at 9/8c? Well, we have a treat for you. No, it’s not TARDIS burritos. But Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and lead writer/executive producer Steven Moffat recently made time out of their hectic schedules to answer questions put forth by BBC America’s Facebook […]
One of the sad things about Elisabeth Sladen’s cruelly premature death in April of this year, is that it denied her the chance to tell the full, uninterrupted story of working on the longest running science fiction TV show of all time. She was one of very few people who had intimate working knowledge of […]
Last night, the Millennium Centre in Cardiff played host to the 20th annual British Academy Cymru Awards (the Welsh BAFTAs, effectively), and it doesn’t take a supernaturally gifted detective to figure out who the main winner was. Sherlock picked up five of the available trophies, including the prestigious Best Television Drama award. Euros Lyn was […]
This possibly won’t be the most unexpected of news stories, but it’s a sad one, nonetheless. The BBC has confirmed that, contrary to speculation, there will be no further episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures, following the recent death of Elisabeth Sladen. It had been thought that the show, a firm favorite on CBBC, could […]
