Euros Lyn to helm Tennant finale
General TV Series News
January 31, 2009 •
A press release published on the Newsarama website has revealed that director Euros Lyn is to oversee the final two special episodes of Doctor Who which will see out David Tennant's time as the Tenth Doctor. The news was revealed as part of the promotion for Lyn's forthcoming appearance at the New York ComicCon event in the United States, where he is to promote Torchwood: Children of Earth, which he has also directed.

Lyn is the only director to have worked on every production block to date of the new Doctor Who series. He helmed The End of the World and The Unquiet Dead for the first series; Tooth and Claw, The Girl in the Fireplace, The Idiot's Lantern and Fear Her for the 2006 run; the Christmas special The Runaway Bride for the third production block, and most recently the two-parter Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead for series four in 2008. In addition, Lyn directed the mini-episodes Children in Need Cutaway in 2005 and and Music of the Spheres in 2008, the former of which was David Tennant's first full broadcast scene as the Doctor, meaning Lyn will have bookended the actor's time in the TARDIS.

The first two special episodes to be shown this year are being directed by James Strong and Graeme Harper. No broadcast dates are yet known, but it is expected that Lyn's two-part finale will be shown over the Christmas and New Year period.

Het einde van het tijdperk van de 10de Doctor is nabij.

hey shit.
Ik dacht dat er nog een seizoen kwam in 2010 waarna ze zouden stoppen.
Als ik het dus goed begrijp komen er nog maar 2 episodes met David Tennant, maar ligt de weg nog open voor een nieuwe Who ?

Als je in dit topic de vorige pagina even doorleest dan ben je weer helemaal op de hoogte....

nee, er komen dit jaar 4 specials met David Tennant
ja, in 2010 gaat men vrolijk verder met een nieuwe doctor (Matt SMith) en een volledig seizoen
nee, niemand heeft geroepen dat het na 2010 afgelopen is

Doctor Who wants to be a millionaire



NEW Doctor Who Matt Smith will get £1million to play the Time Lord for five years, The Sun can reveal.



The little-known actor, 26, has signed a £200,000-a-year deal with the BBC1 sci-fi hit. His contract ties him into the show for three years, with the option of two more after that.


Current Doctor David Tennant, 37, was said to get £1million a YEAR — but was already a well-known actor when he began. And The Sun has told how the BBC is trimming star salaries in the credit crunch.


Producers were said to be keen to keep Matt as long as possible after David announced he is to quit after three series at the height of the show’s popularity — with 12 million regular viewers. He is filming four one-offs this year.



An insider said: “Bosses don’t want Matt doing a David and leaving when things are going great.” Matt signed in December as the 11th Doctor and is working on his first series, which airs next year.


The Time Lord is limited to 12 “regenerations”, so only two more actors can play him. Eighth Doctor Paul McGann was in just the 1996 TV movie, and No9 Christopher Eccleston stayed for only one series.



The BBC would not discuss Matt’s contract but said: “All new deals are done with the economic climate in mind.”

Euros Lyn Talks Torchwood, Tennant Farewell

March 6, 2009 •
Director Euros Lyn speaks exclusively to Wired.com about his two upcoming directorial projects: Torchwood: Children of Earth and the two-part finale for the Tenth Doctor.

Speaking of the Torchwood shoot, Lyn said: "It's been an endurance test. It was a 16-week shoot for the Torchwood season - longer than most feature films. But the intensity keeps you focused on the work."

"For the first time, we'll see Torchwood facing a threat from home while they're also investigating an alien invasion. When they try to discover why all the children in the world have suddenly stopped at the same time, Torchwood also has to deal with human beings who are trying to hide a past mistake."

Work on the Doctor Who specials begins immediately after the work on Torchwood wraps. "I've seen the scripts, and they're amazing," he said. "I'm being very careful not to give anything away, but I think fans will be thrilled with David's farewell and how we set up the 11th Doctor."

The article includes the first look at the BBC promo poster for Torchwood (pictured below; click for larger view) as well as a video of the trailer.

Ik had Seizoen 1 al (de NL versie) en heb Seizoen 2 en 3 maar op amazon gekocht. (samen voor 44 euro, netjes lijkt me zo )

Geweldige serie. torchwood vond ik daarentegen wat tegenvallen.

New Animated Adventure On the Way

May 26, 2009 •
A second animated story starring David Tennant as the Doctor will be broadcast later this year.

"Dreamland", written by Phil Ford, will comprise seven episodes of roughly six minutes each. This will air as part of the BBC's red button service and Children's BBC.

Also appearing in the story are Georgia Moffett ("The Doctor's Daughter") playing a character called Cassie Rice, Lisa Bowerman ("Survival" and the Big Finish Bernice Summerfield series), and David Warner (Tron, Time Bandits). Warner is also no stranger to Doctor Who, having played the Time Lord himself in two Big Finish audio plays released in 2003 and 2008.

"Dreamland" follows 2007's animated adventure "The Infinite Quest", currently available on DVD.

Ford has written for Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures, and his other 2009 Doctor Who story, The Waters of Mars (co-written with Russell T Davies) is slated to broadcast in November. Directing "Dreamland" is Gary Russell.

More details will be forthcoming.
Tenth Doctor to appear in SJA

May 26, 2009 •
The BBC Press Office has confirmed that David Tennant is to appear as the Tenth Doctor in the forthcoming third series of spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures, due to be shown on CBBC and BBC One this autumn. This will once again reunite the Doctor with former companion Sarah Jane Smith, played by Elisabeth Sladen.

The release also confirms that the series will again be twelve episodes long, and that it will feature an appearance from Doctor Who race the Judoon. Executive producer Russell T Davies is quoted of saying of Tennant's appearance in the programme: "Viewers thought they may have to wait until November for the next full episode of Doctor Who, but this is an extra special treat. And it's not just a cameo from David – this is a full-on appearance for The Doctor as he and Sarah Jane face their biggest threat ever."

Sladen is also quoted in the release, saying: "When I heard the news that David was going to be joining us I was absolutely over the moon. Not only has it made my day but it will also make the viewers' day."

For UK internet users, the Children's BBC website has made available a video interview with Davies where he discusses the Doctor's appearance in the series, which he says will take place across episodes five and six. The series is due to start broadcasting in September. BBC News also carries the video interview with Davies.

Dit was bedoeld als een jaar waarin Doctor Who weinig aanwezig zou zijn. Torchwood series 3 volgende maand, in het najaar Sarah Jane Adventures met hem, een tekenfilm en nog drie telefilms waarin hij in de laatste zal regenereren in de volgende Doctor Matt Smith. En dan gaat de roddel rond dat er hard gewerkt wordt aan een bioscoopfilm met David Tennant. Hij gaat zo te zien niet zonder lsag of stoot.

[RobW]

Is er al iets bekend over seizoen 2 in NL?

[chimera01]

Die is al zo lang uit op dvd dat ie al weer voor 50% afgeprijst te krijgen is.

Ik heb een hard hoofd erin dat de Nederlandse televisie de nieuwe serie ooit gaat uitzenden. De VRT is momenteel op zaterdagmiddag bezig met seizoen 2 en ik ben benieuwd of ze seizoen 3 ook gaan uitzenden.

Verder is Torchwood seizoen 1 ook op dvd in NL te verkrijgen.

[Marco VC]

Die is al zo lang uit op dvd dat ie al weer voor 50% afgeprijst te krijgen is.

Oh ja... Waar dan?!?

[RobW]

Ja, de losse edities. Ik wil de box, zoals bij seizoen 1.

[chimera01]

Oh ja... Waar dan?!?

Ik heb ze bij dvdoutlet.nl aangeschafd.

En ik vraag mij of er een boxset van seizoen 2 komt. Echter seizoens 1 boxset was een verrassing dus er is natuurlijk altijd een mogelijkheid. Ik heb weinig hoop.

Memphis Belle heeft de rechten maar doet er werkelijk niets mee.

Karen Gillan announced as new companion

May 29, 2009 •
The BBC has announced that Scottish actress Karen Gillan is to play the new companion, alongside Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith, in the next series of Doctor Who, due to be broadcast in the spring of next year.

Twenty-one year-old Gillan previously appeared in last year's episode "The Fires of Pompeii", as the Soothsayer. BBC News reports that she studied acting at Telford College in Edinburgh, and has also appeared in The Kevin Bishop Show and the forthcoming film Outcast, starring James Nesbitt.

In the press release, executive producer and chief writer Steven Moffat is quoted as saying: "We saw some amazing actresses for this part, but when Karen came through the door the game was up. Funny, and clever, and gorgeous, and sexy. Or Scottish, which is the quick way of saying it. A generation of little girls will want to be her. And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too."

Gillan herself says: "I am absolutely over the moon at being chosen to play the Doctor's new companion. The show is such a massive phenomenon that I can't quite believe I am going to be a part of it. Matt Smith is an incredible actor and it is going to be so much fun to act alongside him – I just can't wait to get started!"

The news is also being reported by, among many others: Children's BBC, InTheNews.co.uk, Digital Spy, Den of Geek, Broadcast Now and The Guardian.

De contouren van het nieuwe Tardisteam worden zichtbaar.

Your First Look At Doctor Who's Next Big Guest Stars

By Charlie Jane Anders, 12:42 PM on Mon Jun 15 2009, 25,100 views

Who is David Tennant standing next to in this photo? The answer reveals a lot about the storyline of Tennant's final adventure as the time-traveling eccentric in Doctor Who, and its impact on the show's mythos. Major, huge spoilers below.
No, really. This is a massive spoiler. Are you sure you're down with that? Okay then.

Here's a set picture from Tennant's final episodes, which an anonymous source sent to us:

Yes, that's John Simm, probably returning as the Master, the Doctor's arch nemesis and fellow Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. And on the other side of Tennant? Timothy Dalton, having a view to a kill as some kind of Time Lord dignitary, complete with Gallifreyan bathrobe and medallion. It's been rumored for ages that Simm was coming back for Tennant's finale. And it's also been rumored that Dalton will be showing up, playing the Chancellor of the High Council of Time Lords. This picture, which appears to show Tennant, Simm and Dalton clowning around between takes, seems to clinch both of those rumors.
I have to say, if the Master causes Tennant's Doctor to regenerate into Matt Smith, then it's going to be the third time this has happened. The Master polished off Tom Baker's Doctor (in "Logopolis") and Sylvester McCoy's Doctor (in the can't-believe-it's-canon TV movie.) You'd think after someone killed you three times, you might start getting a bit stroppy. That's almost a quarter of the Doctor's lives, right there.
And then separately, there's this intriguing picture of one of the episode's sets. What do you think those odd-looking canisters are?

New Guinness World Record



pblogo('guinness')
Doctor Who has been awarded its second Guinness World Record, for Most successful sci-fi series. The award is based upon the show's perfomance in ratings, DVD and book sales, and downloading popularity.

The award was presented to Russell T. Davies by Guinness editor-in-chief Craig Glenday at the San-Diego ComicCon on Sunday. Glenday said: "It's the longest-running sci-fi show on TV. But that's not quite enough, it's too good a show to have a longest-running record. Based on things like CD sales, downloads, illegal downloads, we've realised that Doctor Who is the most successful sci-fi show on TV full stop."


The show's first record entry is for Longest running sci-fi series.

There can be only one...........

[Rovers]

Jammer dat David Tennant de show verlaat, ben ook erg benieuwd of Matt Smith aan hem kan tippen. Pluspunt dat Stefen Moffat nu de productie overneemt, dat kan de verhaallijn alleen maar ten goede komen!

Het pluspunt SM moet nog blijken.

Hij neemt een erg succesvolle serie over die de komende maanden nog een drietal keer flink zal uitpakken, een bezoekje aan Sarah Jane Adventures en een animatiefilm. Dit allemaal onderde leiding van de erg begaafde Russel T Davies die DW terug heeft gebracht waar de serie thuishoorde: de zaterdag familie-avond.

[Rovers]

Ik vind de door Stefen Moffat geschreven afleveringen de beste, vandaar dat ik er wel vertrouwen in heb. Maar je hebt gelijk, of hij ook de hele productie aankan en tegelijk het succes handhaven moeten we nog zien. Hij heeft natuurlijk niet echt mazzel dat David Tennant net weggaat als hij de boel overneemt, hij is toch deels verantwoordelijk voor het succes van DW.

[freaky]

Ik heb vorige week een episode gezien op BBC en vond het echt goed, heb dan ook onmiddelijk gezocht of deze al uitgekomen was bij ons op dvd maar jammer genoeg bestaan er geen complete boxsets? Zou graag deze serie zien van het begin maar die mogelijkheid is er jammer genoeg niet want denk dat VRT al terug gestopt is met Doctor Who.

[Marco VC]

Moeten de DVD's voorzien zijn van Nederlandse ondertiteling? Zo ja, dan zijn er van serie 1 & 2 in Nederland/Belgie losse dvd's te koop... Bij o.a. bol.com vast nog wel te bestellen... Van serie 1 is er ook een boxset verschenen...

In Engeland zijn er dvd-boxen van Series 1 t/m 4 te koop... bv bij Play.com en Amazon.co.uk... Helaas geen Nederlandse ondertiteling (wel Engelse!)...

[Rovers]

Relax, ik kan wel zonder ondertiteling maar ik wil gewoon die verdammde dvds!

[chimera01]

En terecht.
