I’ve harped on about this before, but I firmly believe that when you publish a URL on the web then it should be permanent. Of course you might want to change the way that your site is set up at some point in the future, but when you do that you should do everything you… Continue reading Redirecting RSS

Dawkins on Doctor Who
Russell T Davies was interviewed by the Independent last Sunday and he happened to mention that Richard Dawkins will be appearing in this series of Doctor Who. The evolutionary biologist and best-selling author of The God Delusion will appear as a guest star in the new series of Doctor Who, which began last night. “People… Continue reading Dawkins on Doctor Who
The Return of Doctor Who
As is becoming traditional (well, this is at least the second year I’ve done it) at this time of the year, it’s interesting to look around for hints about when the new series of Doctor Who will launch. Normally it’s about Easter, but Easter is about as early as it gets this year – and… Continue reading The Return of Doctor Who
The Sun on Doctor Who
How many obvious errors can you spot in this Sun story: Jennifer could be Dr Who Ab Fab star Jennifer Saunders is set to be the first female Timelord – for just one episode. The comic actress is in talks to become Doctor Who as David Tennant, 36, will leave after filming three specials in… Continue reading The Sun on Doctor Who
Doctor Who Advent Calendar
Doctor Who Advent Calendar This image appeared on the BBC’s Doctor Who site today. I’m guessing that they are doing some kind of Doctor Who advent calendar this year (notice that “advent” is highlighted). We’ll need to go back on Saturday for more information. Note for US readers – the date (1/12/07) is in the… Continue reading Doctor Who Advent Calendar
Billie Piper to return to Dr Who
I’m really not sure how I feel about this. Actress Billie Piper is to return to Doctor Who, the BBC has confirmed. She will star in three episodes of the sci-fi drama, reprising her role as the Doctor’s companion, Rose Tyler. Rose’s return will mean the Doctor has three assistants in next year’s series –… Continue reading Billie Piper to return to Dr Who
Doctor Who News
On Saturday the third series of the revived (maybe “regenerated” is better) Doctor Who finished on BBC One. The last episode (capsule review – all a bit too silly for my tastes) ended with the Doctor alone in the TARDIS again as Martha Jones had decided to leave him and stay one Earth. Which all… Continue reading Doctor Who News
Love & Monsters Revisited
The success of this weekend’s Doctor Who story, “Blink“, has led to a number of comparisons with last season’s “doctor-light”[1] story, “Love and Monsters“. And I really don’t know why “Love and Monsters” comes off so badly in the comparison. It’s true that “Blink” is right up there as one of the best Doctor Who… Continue reading Love & Monsters Revisited
Blink
I haven’t been very impressed with this season of Doctor Who so far. Gridlock was ok and the recent two-parter (“Human Nature” and “The Family of Blood”) had some very interesting ideas which were spoilt by a horribly mawkish ending – but other than that it’s all been rather disappointing. But last night’s episode, “Blink”,… Continue reading Blink
Doctor When?
Doctor Who Logo I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that March 31st was looking like the date that the new series of Doctor Who was going to start. The Radio Times web site has listings for the next two weeks, so by now it should have the programme listed. And yesterday it was definitely… Continue reading Doctor When?
