Welcome to this week’s Doctor Who‘s Day roundup, a gatheration of Gallifreyan bits and bobs from the internet. And we begin this week with a celebration of the Doctor Who TV movie, which appeared on TV screens 20 years ago, in May 1996. Starting with these 20 amazing facts. The fascinating thing about the Eighth […]
Over the weekend, among many startling things in the season premiere of Doctor Who, the Doctor brought a tank and an electric guitar to an axe-fight in a 12th century arena. It’s not the first time this particular Time Lord has displayed an interest in musical performance. The Second Doctor had his recorder, the Tenth […]
Trying to create a storyline that celebrated and venerated 50 years of Doctor Who was always going to be a tall order. There are so many things fans would expect (or quietly hope) to see, and yet they would also be the first to complain if the story was not thrilling enough, or failed to […]
Matt Smith‘s movie career is just taking off, having made the leap from a deleted scene in In Bruges to a key role in Lost River and appearances lined up in both Terminator Genisys and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Call it nepotism, or call it good genes. From the Barrymores to the Bridges family, the Fondas to the Douglases, talented families have dominated Hollywood since its inception. And Britain has its own share of gifted acting dynasties, but who is the greatest ever? That’s the question Siobhan Thompson set out to answer in the […]
Last week, the website The Mary Sue put up a collection of the cat cosplay pictures of Wendy McKee. As you can see from the snap above, she has considerable skills in this regard, not least the getting of kittens to stay still while wearing a fez. No mean feat. This set us wondering if […]
This week’s round-up of Whovian effluvia begins with an interesting thought: Steven Moffat has promised some fairly strident alterations to Doctor Who, once Season Eight gets underway in a couple of months. Speaking to the BBC’s Alan Yentob at the Hay festival recently, he explained that a few shake-ups are just about due, adding, “We […]
Here’s a poser to set your Who’s Day off to a quizzical start. Doctor Who scriptwriter Mark Gatiss was recently asked if he thought the rest of the Time Lords should make regular return appearances, now it has been established that Gallifrey is still out there somewhere. “Every time you go back to Gallifrey, it […]
