The Nerdist has Doctor Who for Newbies: The Ninth Doctor, in the late ‘90s, the Doctor Who television landscape seemed at its most barren. The lackluster showing of the 1996 TV movie left most fans unsatisfied and, again, the future of the franchise was up in the air. Would there ever be a Ninth Doctor?, in 1999, five different actors, starting with Rowan Atkinson, played the Doctor in the charity special spoof “The Curse of the Fatal Death,” written by Steven Moffat.....

Review the Who has Retirement Of The Daleks, once upon a time, a man named Terry Nation asked BBC designer Raymond Cusick to give form to his concept of a maniacal alien race who housed themselves within war machines in order to exterminate their enemies. Cusick’s response was to stick an egg whisk and a kitchen sink plunger to a giant tin version of a pepper pot and in doing so he helped create perhaps the most iconic villain in the entire history of Doctor Who...the Daleks....

The One A Day Project has Tardis Sweet Tardis, "my most recently completed piece of stitchery – Tardis Sweet Tardis, the pattern came from the wonderful Mr X Stitch, who runs one of my favourite sewing related websites. He has his own etsy store which is where I picked up the Tardis pattern to sew for my boyfriend’s Mum for Christmas. She’s a massive Doctor Who fan and I knew she’d really like it....."

Tea with Morbius has Earthshock, ....is at heart a story built around the return of the Cybermen to the screen after a pretty long absence. It thus reflects the tendency of 80s Doctor Who to look to it's past to revitalize itself. While Earthshock attempts to recreate many of the elements of 60s Doctor Who, it dresses it all in a very 80s packaging, confidently at home in the screen culture of movies such as Terminator and Alien. Despite the miserable bickering at the beginning and the mournfulness of Adric's death, Earthshock shows a new energy and vitality that had been missing in much of season 19 (and which did was not to be seen so much again until season 21).

Doctor Who Spoilers
has ‘The House’ of Nothing?, ...the enemy in Neil Gaiman's episode is called 'House' or maybe 'The House', it 'taunts Amy and Rory when they are seperated from The Doctor in the TARDIS corridors.' The Doctor is probably off on the Junk Planet at this time. Amy and Rory later get separating from each other which is probably the scene in the trailer where Rory is running towards the closing door, Gaiman revealed some time ago that the episode was originally titled 'The House of Nothing', but that title has changed....
