In perhaps the biggest news since Christopher Ecclestone appeared from the Tardis in 2005 and ended a Doctor Who drought which had lasted since 1989 – save for one TV film outing for Paul McGann in 1996 – another movie is now on the cards. Except this potential production is a proper Hollywood flick, although [...]
Doctor Who will be 50 years old come 2013. The TV show that is, not the Time Lord, who is about 1,000 years old, and at the same time, ageless. Anyway, for its half a century milestone, the plan is to do a Doctor Who special with, well, something very special about it. Rumours have [...]

Christopher Eccleston made a pretty darn good Doctor Who, we thought. When he brought the Doc back to our screens for the contemporary reinvention of the series, he did a bang up job. Like all good Doctors, he captured a certain eccentricity and charm, without coming across as a pillock. Okay, so not everyone was [...]
