Who Am I?
Exciting news posted on BBC website…. the Eleventh Doctor will be unveiled on a special episode of Doctor Who Confidential tomorrow (Saturday 3rd Jan) at 5:35pm. How the news will be kept secret until broadcast is beyond me but I hope they pull it off. Other news providers (here, for example) are reporting on it, as are a million blogs like this one and even TV trails on the Beeb. Expect Doctor Who Online to go into meltdown.
From Rob’s The Medium is Not Enough Blog, a meme…
“What are your favourite three episodes of nu-Who and why?”
In no particular order, the list has to include… Dalek. A clever re-introduction of a classic enemy: chained, seemingly helpless and alone. It included Time War revelations (when they were still a bit of a thrill), some

4×08 and 4×09 “Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead”
If Doctor Who fans went to sports stadia to watch their favourite show, the following chant would have been heard for miles around on the previous two Saturday nights… “There’s only one Steven Moffat, There’s only one Stephen Moffett, One Steven Moffet, there’s only one Stephen Moffat”. Regardless of how you like to spell his name, and I am sure this very blog is guilty of inventing numerous versions, there’s no denying the impact

So, the man who brought Doctor Who back to our screens has served his time to be replaced by the man who is widely acknowledged as bringing us the best episodes of the relaunched

Billie Don’t Be a Hero
The BBC has today confirmed that Billie Piper is returning to Doctor Who. On behalf of Doctor Who fans everywhere, can I just ask… “What in the name of wibbly-wobbley, timey-wimey stuff is going on?” As you can imagine, the internet dwellers (well, the folks over on the forum formerly known as Outpost Gallifrey at any rate) have gone into meltdown. And for once, I am really unsure how to take the news. Over the course of the last three years I have been fairly trusting in the decision

Doctor Who Retrospective #6 of 10 “The Long Game”
This is one of those episodes of the new Doctor Who that had everything going for it. A great guest cast including Tamsin Grieg, Anna Maxwell-Martin and Simon Pegg, the dynamic of having a new companion on board (although almost everyone viewing knew that Bruno Langleys Adam was not going to be travelling onboard the TARDIS for too long) and two leads who by this time were settling in to their roles with gusto. Where then, many fans will ask, did it all go wrong?

It was looking bleak at half-time 0-1 but 20 minutes later we're 4-1 up. Funny old game.
I've finally spent some money in the sales... Recession, what recession?
