Wild Blue Yonder

Quite Midnight but also very Eighth Doctor comics. Also showing off the virtual set bit, while also being a bottle episode.

It does feel like we got one “normal” episode in a very compressed season as a result. (Not necessarily a complaint - I wish the nine episode Buffyverse audio drama Slayers had had standalone episodes - but odd when we only have three, like Sherlock.)

The Nobles

Caroline Siede of Girl Culture and formerly the A.V. Club on The Star Beast, the Doctor’s feelings, and the Nobles in particular.

The Star Beast

It’s so weird seeing such a close adaptation (in the middle of other fun stuff) if a story I’ve loved since I was six. And yes I want a Meep toy.

The Daleks! In Colour!

Now in colour and probably on a bigger screen than TVs had in 1963, unless you watch it on a smaller screen which is also an option!

Fifty by Morgan Davie

Morgan Davie presents Fifty, an adventure written for the fiftieht anniversary, for its tenth anniversary.

Happy anniversary!

Doctor Who premiered on this day sixty years ago.

An incidentally, a happy Thanksgiving to all of you at home in the USA!

We are, in a very real sense, back

Davros presents his Mark III Travel Machine in the Children In Need mini-episode. It’s about as RTD as RTD can be. This was so Russell T Davies in funny mode that I’m surprised he didn’t narrate it himself.

The Whoniverse

We’re really calling it that now. It has a logo. And short reunion stories highlighting some classics. And nearly everything available on iPlayer.

K9 And Company!

Big Who Stuff Humble Bundle

Humble Bundle has the first edition (well, last edition of first edition) RPG rulebook and sourcebooks along with various comics collections and audio dramas to download for about fifteen quid, with a chunk going to Children In Need.

The new theme

The new version of the Doctor Who theme, as premiered online and on radio.

I don’t like it!

Which delights me, getting to tick off a classic Doctor Who Fan Bingo square.

Doctor Who iPlayer rollout

Want some Doctor Who on streaming? How about all of it that we have? Starting November 1st. Which is nice.

When Rose Met Doctor

Caroline Siede, former AV Club “When Romance Met Comedy” columnist, has a substack for general media talk, Girl Culture, and this week starts a Davies era Doctor Who rewatch!

Doctor In Theatre

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe once again has an improvised Doctor Who show (as well as an improvised Jane Austen show, an improvised Shakespare show...) but as distinct from the people playing D&D for an audience shows it does not use RPG rules.

Ncuti Gatwa interview

Ncuti Gatwa talks about being the Doctor at Rolling Stone. Thanks to io9 for the heads up.
