Nathan Bevan talks nerves, high notes and backstage riders with the diva, “I went along to the casting director’s office in London the day before my 30th birthday and ran through about four or five scenes with them,” chirped the world-famous Neath mezzo-soprano, “afterwards, I drove 200 miles away to a hotel in Somerset to meet with some family and friends and guess who was the first person I saw as I walked into the lobby? Only Matt Smith himself!"....
Sugarscape has Dr Who + Snogging = Stressful, "come on admit it. Matt Smith has turned Doctor Who from geek to very, very chic as he speeds around taking on Cybermen with a Sonic Screwdriver and a bit of help from his little blue box. Especially as he looks properly cute in a box tie. Who'd have thought Uncle Derek's fashion fave would be on trend again?...."

"You can chat anyone else, harm anyone else, kill anyone else, but family is sacred. The rest of the galazy may be out to get you, but you can always count on famil to hide you and to bankroll you because one day'll do the same for them."
When a Lodge of Foamasi escapes into the past using a stolen tachyon reactor, it sets off a chain of events that will span three decades and involve four generations of Tom Brooker's family. In search of the source of the disruption to the space-time, the Doctor and Tom travel to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in 1969, where Tom's maternal grandfather, Ian Townsend, is caught up in political corruption and becomes the target for a Foamasi assassination attempt. Meanwhile, the Doctor, in the company of Tom's other grandparent's, is helping Ryugin, a Draconian prince fleeing from his power-hungry younger sibling. But can even the Doctor save him from an indestructible cyborg hound programmed for one task and one task only: to kill?

"Just you wait for me. I'll come back for you. I give you my word."
The Doctor returns to 1984 seeking a way to save Ryugin, but he is not the only one looking for the prince. Genroku Urabe, his once-betrothed, needs Ryugin's help if she is to save her people and she will take whatever aid she can get to complete her mission, be it that offered by Val or by the Foamasi. But when Ryugin wakes, the first person to cross her path is Hazel Townsend and it is an encounter that will change her life forever. Finally, the TARDIS crew reunite on New Year's Eve 1999, where all eyes are on Hazel's daughter Sara: the Fomasi, looking to finally return home; the Draconian Daimyo, looking to erase the memory of his brother once and for all; and the Okuri, still determined to complete the hunt at which it failed three decades earlier. At the stroke of midnight, the Foamasi will reactivate the Tachyon reactor and so unleash the temporal storm already storm already raging across Newcastle, past, present and future. For the Doctor, for Tom, for the entire city, has already run out?
Condensed:
A Lodge of Foamasi escapes into the past using a stolen tachyon reactor, setting off a chain of events that will span three decades and involve four generations of Tom Brooker's family.
In 1969, Ian Townsend and Hazel Ferris become caught up in corruption in local politics and are made the target of a Foamasi assassination attempt, while Alan Brooker and Mary Moran help Ryugin, a Draconian prince, flee from a cyborg hound sent by his brother to hunt down and kill him.
In 1984, Mary meets a Draconian princess, on Earth searching for her long lost prince, a Foamasi coup unbalances the status quo and Ryugin, awake after a fifteen year slumber, crosses paths with Hazel, changing her life forever.
In 1999, all eyes are on Hazel's daughter Sara: the Foamasi, looking to finally return home; the Draconian Daimyo, looking to erase the memory of his brother once and for all; and the cyborg hound, looking to complete the hunt it was sent on thirty years before. When the Foamasi activate the reactor, unleashing a tachyon storm across Newcastle, past, present and future, only Robert Brooker and Kate Townsend stand between Sara and a Draconian blade and only the Doctor stands between the city and total annihilation.
Christel Films has How the Doctor Stole Christmas, the story is presented in two parts as it has been uploaded through

The Ood Cast has The Ood Cast Guide 20: Slitheen, the Doctor Who universe is home to a great many unusual and unlikely creatures. But not even there would a creature who looks a bit like a bipedal balloon animal exist, surely?, coming from Raxacoricofallapatorius, Slitheen is a family name rather than a species – but that didn’t seem to stop anyone from mixing them up. Although, to be fair, it is a lot easier to say than Raxacoricofallapatorian… Either way, this is the universe’s version of the Krays, and after escaping their fate, they decided that the earth was a suitable place to convert into starship fuel and scrap.

Express.co.uk has Review: Now Dr Who is the spirit of Christmas, Has creator Steven Moffat gone completely bonkers? It’s what the show is all about, he says. “Well, the baseline of Doctor Who is about a man who lives in a telephone box and saves the universe in a bow tie, so you have to go some to up that. So if you’re going to do a Christmas special for Christmas Day, based on the fact that the audience have had a selection box for breakfast, and are probably drunk, you have to move it on a bit. Actually, a normal episode of Doctor Who wouldn’t be enough at that point”....The Omega Podcast has Episode 1-35: The Next Doctor, Wendell and Wes review the 2008 Christmas Special “The Next Doctor”.....Staggering Stories has Commentary 20: Doctor Who – The Horns of Nimon, Romana’s screwdriver is more impressive than the Doctor’s, the Co-Pilot’s flashing his underwear and Soldeed is chewing through the scenery. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to dissolve your sanity to The Horns of Nimon…Tea with Morbius has The Ultimate Foe (Trial of a Time Lord parts 13-14), "I'm as honest, truthful and about as boring as they come"...Doc Oho's Big Finish audios reviews has The Circus of Doom written by Paul Magrs and directed by Kate Thomas, the Doctor follows the hornets back in time and discovers the circus of doom… "I’m not sure I understand what people mean when they say Tom Baker doesn’t sound like the Doctor during his tenure? Of course he doesn’t, he’s thirty years older!"...
