The Time Traveller's Wife, the series

The Time Traveller’s Wife to be adapted for HBO by Steven Moffat. In the interview he acknowledges having been influenced by it before.

(And will the title role get as weirdly typecast by it as Rachel McAdams?)

Is that...?

Jodie Whittaker sneaking on stage to model the Doctor’s outfit in the Comic-Con fashion show for the official replica clothing line from Her Universe was delightful.

"All of this is new to me..."

First footage trailer from the Comic-Con panel. And we have... yellow sonic screwdriver light!

And an alien planet and some horse riding.

Right! This is gonna be fun!

The universe is calling

Now that the teaser trailer has aired on BBC One, here it is.

And in showing the Doctor making little changes in her future companions’ lives in a flash, it makes the Doctor look like an artron-energy-powered speedster. Which I presume is just artistic licence... though with this show, you never can tell! :)

"I pretended to defuse something..."

Entertainment Weekly puts Doctor Who on the cover and talks to Jodie Whittaker about her audition and more, as well as giving us an early look at her companions. Note: self-playing video. Boo, hiss.

The Thirteenth Doctor toys

Various sites have photos of a variety of inevitable stylised pop culture ornaments, a costume from Her Universe, and a 12” scale figure from Character Options. No sign of anything for their classic 5” scale line, or their Star Wars style 3.75” scale.

Apparently we’re also getting Bill in 5” scale this summer, among various new and variant figures for it. In the UK they’re exclusive to B&M. So I have to find one of those, I guess.

Edit several weeks later: apparently you can get Bill from Amazon. If she’s in stock.

We made it! London, 1965!

The Twitch marathon has produced some unexpected and delightful results. Ian and Barbara getting so much love.

Timeless season two

Well, that was quite a thing at the end there.

Classic Doctor Who on Twitch

Today, Twitch begins a seven-week endurance run/celebration of all things old-school Doctor Who, live streaming over 500 episodes worth of adventures in Time and Space. As reported by io9, with some suggestions for specific stories to check out.

Wedding Of The Century Part II

I did a royal wedding plot hook last time.

Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trips

Big Finish are running their Short Trips open call again, in memory of Paul Spragg.

Karl Marx

Today marks the 200th birthday of Karl Marx, whose ideas (and the misinterpretation of his ideas) had a huge effect on history starting around a century later.

Georges Méliès

Sometimes Google go all in with their Doodles. To celebrate George Méliès they produced a cartoon that can be viewed in VR as well as showing the 360 view in Youtube and I don’t even know how that works.

World Book Night

It’s World Book Night. Read a book. It doesn’t have to be about night. Necessarily.

Do you use sound effects in game?

The BBC just made 16,016 available for non-commercial use.
