Joy To The RT YouTube

Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat discuss the Christmas special, and Christmas specials in general, on video as well as in the Radio Times.

Survival

“There are worlds out there where the sky is burning. Where the seas sleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there’s danger, somewhere there’s injustice, and somewhere else the tea’s getting cold. Come on, Ace, we’ve got work to do.”

Survival part 3, thirty-five years tonight.

Telefantasy Time Jump

Hammer House Of Podcast has now completed its run of Hammer horror films - until we get another one! And now Paul Cornell and Lizbeth Myles are gearing up for a new series starting in January looking at UK genre TV in Telefantasy Time Jump.

Doctor Who Day

The cay is upon us.

Joy To The Preview

The traditional Children In Need mini bit, a Christmas preview introdcued by Ncuti.

Woooo!

Doctor Who Ultimate RPG Collection

Doctor Who Ultimate RPG Collection PDFs at Humble Bundle.

Four adventures for the price of a decent sized chocolate bar, previous editions of the rules and sourcebooks at lower tiers, and both the current edition and the D&D version as well as the new anniversary adventure books added at the top which still gives you change from twenty quid and includes a donation to Children In Need.

Joy To The World

As well as announcing a new series and naming the new companion (Belinda Chandra... related to Rani?) we got a four-minute-ish pre-credits for the Christmas special Joy To The World introduced by Joy herself Nicola Coughlan.

The War Between The Land And The Sea

The Doctor Who panel at San Diego Comic-Con announced The War Between The Land And The Sea, a five-episode spinoff starring Jemma Redgrave as Kate and Alexander Devrient as Ibrahim as well as Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw... and Sea Devils.

And we did get three episodes in a row on at the same time. But come on.

Empire Of Death

Empire Of Death (6.40 pm)

Do you have the spoons to save all existence?

Ah, it’s a bit The Mummy (2017) with the ancient Egyptian adversary god loosing a killer dust storm in London, but mostly...

The Legend Of Ruby Sunday

The Legend Of Ruby Sunday (6.30?!)

Well...

Rogue

Rogue (6:45)

Second of the heavily promoted and spoiled episode, bounces along much as expected and I absolutely don’t mind.

Kind of annoyed that after dropping a D&D reference they called the Chuldur plan cosplay and not, more correctly, LARP.

Delighted otherwise.

(Yes it’s very The Girl In The Fireplace, so?)

William Russell

William Russell, as Ian Chesterton, the first hero this series has.

Dot And Bubble

Dot And Bubble (6.50 p.m.)

Kids these days with their phones and their Snapchats and their dance videos... And their circles they don’t let other people in... Oh.
