Building a Doctor/Companion combo

There’s an awesome video here where Steven Moffat talks a little about the casting of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan (while sitting next to Gillan), and some of his comments about the two (such as, “[Matt Smith] is like a young man built by old men from memory”), are pure gold. It’s not very long [...]

Gillan autograph session proves popular

Karen Gillan’s proving popular at home in Scotland, with up to 150 fans missing out at an autograph signing. The crowd was a mixture of mums and dads with their kids and grown-up “geek” fans, mostly men, some even clad in the Doctor’s trademark jacket and bow tie. Chris Paton, 39, brought his wife Claire [...]

When will Gillan go?

Karen Gillan’s allegedly being tight-lipped about staying with Doctor Who into a third series with Matt Smith. Personally, I don’t know why this would be a revelation to anyone. The average mileage out of a companion these days would seem to be a season or so and, as such, I wouldn’t have been surprised to [...]

Karen Gillan meets her action figure double

She’s porcelain-featured, dainty and doll-like – and now, flame-haired Doctor Who star Karen Gillan has come face-to-face with her very own plastic likeness.

Karen Gillan rocks geisha-girl-meets-goth look

I don’t go in for much celebrity stuff, but Karen Gillan’s getting about town rocking a wild geisha-girl-meets-goth sort of look. The hipsters probably have a name for it already. Geisha Goth, anyone? Click here to check it out.

As you all saw, I purchased Doctor Who: The Adventure Games Episode 1: City of the Daleks just recently and in between my busy day to day work and dazzling social life (or something along those lines), have finally had a chance to start playing. My first impressions are: The voice acting is great. It’s [...]

Meanwhile, in the TARDIS…

When Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series hits Blu-ray and DVD later this year, word is that it will contain something new and actually interesting for us to watch (taking into account that so many DVD “extras” are a bore). These are two newly filmed sequences called “Meanwhile, in the TARDIS … ” which feature [...]

Matt Smith sticking with Doctor Who?

Well folks, it’s not absolute confirmation — particularly as it’s not from the horse’s mouth, so to speak — but Karen Gillan reckons the Matt Smith quits rumours are just that: rumours. That has to be some of the best news I’ve heard all day. Hurrah! Source

The Brilliant Book of Doctor Who

There’s a new book on the horizon called, The Brilliant Book of Doctor Who which is promising a rundown on Matt Smith’s first season and other topics, including the evolution of his costume and behind-the-scenes information. I must admit, I don’t know what to expect from this. The title makes it sound like something that [...]
