Classical Gallifrey has Serial 146: The Ultimate Foe - The Trial of a Time Lord Part IV, if you count The Trial of a Time Lord as one giant serial of fourteen parts and disregard the four-story structure of it, Trial of a Time Lord is the longest Doctor Who story of all time and this last two parter is the thing that puts it over the edge, I don't want to talk too much about the actual dynamics behind this story here because they work a little bit better as we get into it, but I can't really talk about the finale of this epicness without going into the gritty details of the behind-the-scenes, which I find terribly fascinating....

The Edwardian Adventurer has 056 – Conspiracy (The Romans Part 4), comedic hijinks ensue as Nero becomes smitten with Barbara.  Meanwhile, The Doctor must prepare for his second lyre performance, this episode is the most out-and-out comedic so far.  Nero is portrayed as a ravenous womanizer and much of this episode is spent with him chasing after Barbara. This portrayal is a bit off.  In reality, Nero is not portrayed as the true Nero, but more of a caricature of Roman Imperial excesses....

Doc Oho's Big Finish audios reviews has The Companion Chronicles: Frostfire, what a fascinating place to start the companion chronicles. I really like Vicki and her departure is one of the least celebrated and yet best written in the series (because the episodes aren’t available to watch). It’s intriguing to here more about her life since she left the Doctor in ancient Troy and wonderful to find out that although there is nobody to talk to about her travels, she is happy. Maureen O’Brien obviously sounds older (and she is supposed to) but she is still effortlessly Vicki. She once tried to explain elevators to Troilus but he didn’t understand…that’s what you get for marrying a Greek Adonis!....

BBC Doctor Who - Matt and Katherine's Favourite Moments

BBC Doctor Who


Minutes before A Christmas Carol received its premiere at the BFI, we caught up with Matt Smith and Katherine Jenkins and asked what were their favourite moments from the episode.

You can find out their answers in the video above, but their replies got us wondering... what were your favourite moments from A Christmas Carol? The giant shark attack? The party with Marilyn Monroe? Or possibly the more reflective scenes or even the heart-breaking moments when the truth about Abigail's illness emerge? Lots more moments to sift through - from Amy on the ship to the Doctor bouncing on beds and tumbling down chimneys...

We'll be sharing you thoughts early in the new year. So, please write and let us know the moments that you most enjoyed from this year's Christmas special.

"What were your favourite moments from A Christmas Carol?"
Send you answers here.

BBC Doctor Who

We caught up with Matt Smith and Katherine Jenkins earlier this month and asked what were their favourite moments of A Christmas Carol. You can discover their answers in our new video. What will feature in their magic moments? The grand entrances? Sad farewells? Shark attacks or chimney stacks? Find out now and let us know your favourite moments from A Christmas Carol.

Plus! Whilst Matt and Karen were busy recording for Shadows of the Vashta Nerada we asked them all sorts of sensible questions. Then we stopped and asked them stuff about fish. We've added that new video to the Shadows of the Vashta Nerada page... check it out now!

Don't forget, over the festive period we also added new videos featuring Katherine Jenkins talking about her character, Abigail, and the whole experience of being part of Doctor Who. You can find those videos on the Abigail Pettigrew character page.

Finally, way back when we started all this, we began with the 2010 edition of Doctor in the House! For everyone who asked where the quotations came from, we've a complete list below.

Peruse at your leisure and in the meantime, the Adventure Calendar will stay online so you can still get the wallpapers, screensavers, interviews, previews, original short stories and much more.

And finally, happy new year and hopefully see you throughout 2011!

io9
has When did Doctor Who's time machine get so easy to control?, after watching the latest Doctor Who Christmas special, one thought kept sticking in our brains: When did the Doctor become so good at controlling his time machine, the TARDIS? He used to be unable to steer it at all, the idea that the Doctor couldn't control his TARDIS was a huge part of the show's original concept. In the pilot, the Doctor kidnaps two schoolteachers from 1963 London and then decides to take them home after all — but for a year and a half, no matter what the Doctor does, he's unable to get Ian and Barbara back to their own time and place. (The closest he gets is when they arrive in the correct time and place, but only a few inches tall.).....

Yet for some reasons a lot of fans think it is a bit rubbish. Why? Because it is too long? Lots of stories are too long. Each episode of this story is full of action. Because it has holes in the plot? So does Pyramids of Mars. Gaping big holes. Because the 21st century costumes look silly? The costumes in Robots of Death look a bit silly too and most people seem to like that. Because the Ice Warrior Grand Marshal wears a spangly, disco helmet covered in glitter? Well, I think he looks cute. I just don't see what the problem is with this story. It is a brilliant one.....

Shadowlocked reviews Earthshock, the turbulent decade of the 1980s – not much fun, eh? Thatcherism at the height of its powers. The emergence of the yuppies.

So Much More Than This… has The Natural History of Evil: oh no, not you again!, the new producer of Doctor Who at the beginning of the 1980s, John Nathan-Turner, appears to have had one main objective over and above simply making a successful TV show: to strengthen the particular identity of the series, both visually and as a narrative. (One could probably speculate as to why an untested and possibly insecure producer would choose to make arguably the most arbitrary and radical changes in the look and style of the series yet seen, but that’s really beyond the scope of our subject matter.) One of the ways he chose to achieve this was by increasing the level of connection between individual stories: characters casually (or not so casually) refer to the events of the previous week’s story, occasionally retain the costume apparently for months on end, and so on....

I know a few people, and I expect that there are many more out there, who love the show to bits but just can’t bring themselves to watch the behind the scenes companion show Doctor Who Confidential, and with good reason. There’s a certain kind of TV magic that comes with Doctor Who, one that only really exists in science fiction shows, and one that seems to disappear once you see a Dalek with his head off, or The Doctor wondering around a car-park listening to his iPod. I have the utmost respect for people who want their magic to stay magical, though I’m not one of those people myself....."
