Dr who first doctor quotes The Dalek Invasion Of Earth (series 2)

2012-03-03T12:00:00.002Z

The Doctor - Let's take a snoop.

Ian: Careful - Doctor!

The Doctor - I'm not a half-wit.

Ian - Nobody can get through that way.

The Doctor - Except you!

Professor Dortmun - Two more pairs of hands! Good.

David Campbell - She says she can cook!

Professor Dortmun: Can you?

David Campbell - And what do YOU do?

Susan: I eat.

The Doctor: During all the years I've been taking care of you, you in return have been taking care of me. You are still my grandchild and always will be. But now, you're a woman too. I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own. With David you will be able to find those roots and live normally like any woman should do. Believe me my dear, your future lies with David and not with a silly old buffer like me. One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. Goodbye Susan. Goodbye my dear

Episode Three Title Revealed?

2012-03-02T13:00:00.005Z

In a recent interview with BBC America, Toby Whithouse who is writing the third episode of the series revealed that…

My episode is in a genre I’ve never written before — frankly, no one has written in that genre for quite a while now.

This would seem to support a recent post on Gallifrey Base in which the poster claimed that a fellow actor he was recently working with had an audition page for either Episode Three or Four and that the title of the episode was…

'Doctor Who' writer Toby Whithouse: 'I know about the new companion'

2012-03-02T12:00:00.002Z

Doctor Who writer Toby Whithouse has dropped hints about the next series.

The sci-fi drama's seventh run will see Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) and Arthur Darvill (Rory Williams) depart, with a new companion replacing the pair.

Whithouse, who is expected to write the third episode, told The Hollywood Reporter that he is aware of "some plans for the new companion".

"In terms of the series as a whole.... there are quite a few things I know," he teased. "The one downside of working on Doctor Who is that you know what's coming up."

The Being Human creator agreed that it was time for Matt Smith's Doctor to get a new assistant, adding that the show's companions "have a natural shelf life".

"I know a bit about the new companion, [but] I don't know who they cast," he explained. "Even if I did, if I told you [showrunner] Steven Moffat would come out here and punch me in the neck.

"Steven is one of the cleverest, most inventive people I've ever met in my life, and so you know it is in very safe hands with him. If he makes decisions, the chances are it's for the best - it's the best thing for the show."

Doctor who - Production Roundup

2012-03-02T10:00:00.020Z

In an interview with SFX, executive producer Caroline Skinner confirmed that the first recording block contains two individual stories (being directed by Saul Metzstein). On whether all the scripts were written, she said: "No, if only. But we’ve got a lot of them and the ones that are written are really, really epic and very exciting. (The opening episode) is indeed written by Steven and it’s going to blow everybody’s mind."

Speaking on the Richard Bacon Show, BBC1 Controller Danny Cohen talked about series developments: "The Doctor Who team are writing away. There are more episodes next year. We've got some big events coming up in the near future. So, stay tuned! I always try and keep things close to my chest with Doctor Who because there's such interest in it, and I think it's right that Steven Moffat and the team are the people that bring the news on Doctor Who to the audience rather than me."

Toby Whithouse talked to BBC America about writing for the new series: "My episode is in a genre I’ve never written before — frankly, no one has written in that genre for quite a while now. But I absolutely love it. Steven gives me a one-line pitch, and then I’ll go away and put together a story and so on. And he gave me a great one-line pitch for this, so I’m really excited about it. Doctor Who is always a joy to write. It never gets boring, it never gets dull, it never gets routine. It’s an incredibly difficult show to write because it’s remarkably complex, but it also has to have such momentum and pace. And within that there has to be room for character and humour and so on. It’s always a huge challenge but always extraordinary fun. That’s why I keep going back."

SPOILERS AHEAD.....
RED ALERT

SFX: The Zygons are in it! Is this a hint they’re going to be returning to the show anytime soon?
Caroline Skinner: [Laughs] “Wait and see.”

Rumour/spoiler

It's fitting that the Doctor comes face to face with his ultimate enemy, The Master, for the 50th anniversary and it's felt Benedict is the perfect choice if schedules can work. Fans will love the idea of the man who plays Sherlock Holmes taking on the Doctor.

Benedict has often been asked about whether he would like to play the Doctor so it will be ironic if he now ends up being The Master instead.

The Ghosts of Winterborne, Unnatural Selection, The Zero Imperative, The Devil of Winterborne

2012-02-29T13:00:00.007Z

All written by Mark Gatiss, Cert 12, 4 x DVD-R Region Free

THE ZERO IMPERATIVE

Starring Caroline John, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Jon Pertwee, Mark Gatiss, Linda Lusardi

Former UNIT luminary Liz Shaw and her assistant Lou Bayliss are investigating a series of bizarre murders, all committed near a soon-to-be-closed psychiatric hospital.

When the hospital is unexpectedly reprieved by rich Industrialist Peter Russell events seem to move out of Liz's control. Are the incumbent director of the clinic, Doctor Dove and his predecessor Doctor O'Kane harbouring the killer? What is the centuries-old horror hidden in the grounds?

And what exactly is the secret of room zero?

THE DEVIL OF WINTERBORNE

Starring Caroline John, Peter Davison, Louise Jameson, Reece Shearsmith, Terry Molloy

When P.R.O.B.E. is summoned to investigate the savage murder of a retired headmaster, Liz Shaw is disturbed to find evidence of satanic rite near the scene of the crime.

She soon discovers a web of deceit and corruption that extends back in time, threatening the current occupants of nearby Winterborne School.

With P.R.O.B.E. under threat from within and the death toll mounting, Liz finds herself under increasing pressure from all sides to produce results...

The Devil of Winterborne is at large and only Liz can stop it!

UNNATURAL SELECTION

Starring Caroline John, Louise Jameson, Geoffrey Beevers, Mark Gatiss, Charles Kay, Patricia Merrick

In 1975, the British Government quietly closed down a secret evolutionary project codenamed BEAGLE, ordering the destruction of all research materials.

Today, the discovery of several horrifically mutated bodies alerts Liz Shaw and P.R.O.B.E. to the fact that something is stalking the original site of project BEAGLE - something which may challenge the very nature of humanity itself!

With a crack security team at her disposal, Liz desperately attempts to track down the perverted results of the project.

But who or what is hunting whom?

THE GHOSTS OF WINTERBORNE

Starring Peter Davison, Caroline John, Louise Jameson, Reece Shearsmith

The Devil of Winterborne has only recently been exorcised by P.R.O.B.E.

But when the body of its last victim disappears, and a book of black magic spells is stolen from a local museum, Liz Shaw begins to wonder if the ghosts of the past have really been laid to rest.

Forced into an unholy alliance with the school's disgraced headmaster, Liz must fight not only her own warring emotions, but a festering evil that threatens to corrupt the Earth again after 100 years.

But how do you fight a shadow from hell?

Doctor Who Worlds In Time: Caroline Skinner Interview with SFX

2012-02-27T11:00:00.004Z

SFX: As executive producer you’re the guardian of Doctor Who as a brand – how do you ensure that external companies like Three Rings when they were making Worlds In Time stay true to Doctor Who?

Caroline Skinner: “That’s one of the most important things, I think. The thing that I’m really excited about with this game is that it does a really brilliant job of bringing a lot of the magic of Doctor Who into a completely different platform for the fans. I’ve been working on the show for about six months now, but the game has been well over one and a half years in the making and so my predecessors Pierce [Wenger] and Beth [Willis] and members of the production team have been working in a very hand-in-hand way with the gaming team and the BBC Worldwide developers to make sure every storyline, every detail, every monster and the tone and the essence of the game feel as if they’re as Doctor Who as they possibly can be. We have regular catch-up meetings and one of the Doctor Who script editors, Gary Russell, who’s been working on the show for years and years so he’s absolutely steeped in every little detail of Doctor Who, has been across all of the development of the project. I feel really confident it and the show are tied very closely together.

How much time do you spend on the game day-to-day, compared to say the TV show or the live events?

“It depends on the day. Most of my days involve running from one meeting about the show, to a meeting about a live event, to a meeting about the game and desperately trying to fit them all in. I think that’s one of the most exciting things about working on this show, it’s such a huge phenomenon. Last week I was in Melbourne with the symphonic spectacular, which we took over there and that was a wonderful event. Obviously my number one priority is to make the television show with Steven and make it as well as we possibly can do, and we’re starting filming this week, so I think from then it’s going to take the majority of my time.”

How important are videogames to the growth of Doctor Who?

“I think that this game in particular feels very exciting. The fact that it is an MMO game and it’s allowing that kind multiplayer interactivity in a really accessible way for the fans, I hope that it’s an exciting new engagement point for everybody. It feels to me as if it’s a very exciting and organic platform to be taking the Doctor Who narrative to. I love the idea you can join just to play a game or solve a puzzle, or you can spend a huge amount of time on there and interact with your friends and other fans.”

It’s got a very distinctive art style, what was the thinking behind the more cartoony look?

“I hope it says that it’s a whole lot of fun. I absolutely love the avatars and the characters. I’m particularly fond of the little Silurians. I think it’s a really entertaining, fun and highly spirited atmosphere that they’ve created. The adventures you can go on are ever so slightly heightened and epic and I hope the graphics highlight that and run with that rollercoaster spirit that you get from Doctor Who the series. They’re bringing in Skaro soon and I remember first seeing it and the inner fan in me thinking. ‘Wow, that looks cool!’ It’s a whole lot of fun, but it’s also the kind of game that you could imagine you’re going to play for about 15 minutes and solve one of the fairly small puzzle elements and you suddenly find you’re still there two hours later, running round the worlds”

The Zygons are in it! Is this a hint they’re going to be returning to the show anytime soon?

[Laughs] “Wait and see.”

How much does the game delve into Who history?

“It’s a bit of both. In terms of the characters and the worlds that are featured, a lot of it is steeped in the recent series because we want the look and the feel of it to be as relevant and contemporary to the fans as possible. But certainly the underlying mythology and the kind of adventures you can find yourself engaging in on this game are absolutely steeped in everything that’s Doctor Who and authentic. There’s lot of little details in there for the fans go and discover.”

Will there be any direct overlap between any of the games and the series?

“The two are always going to work hand-in-hand. That’s one of the things that’s so exciting about me being able to be across this and making sure, particularly in terms of the spirit of what we’re doing with the game. It feels as if it’s absolutely another platform for telling stories about Doctor Who. In terms of very specific story details, probably not. But the game’s going to be going for a very long time and I think that it will evolve and change and absorb storylines as and when we feel like we want to add new worlds in. We’ve just added Skaro in, who knows what the next one will be.”
