 | Get ready for Doctor Who series 6 |
The BBC Wales series of Doctor Who is set to return in just a few weeks and fans are all agog with anticipation. I have to admit that I'm a bit humored by the article referenced below referring to the press coverage ramping up as the UK press never really stops promoting Doctor Who.
There are some spoilers and such in this piece, but on the mild side. At the conclusion of the article are links to sources that have far juicier details and come highly recommended. I've tried to stay in the dark this year as an experiment so I can view the program with fresh eyes (or at least less-jaded eyes).
BBC begins promoting new series of Doctor Who
The BBC has begun promoting its upcoming series of Doctor Who, which is due to begin broadcasting over the Easter weekend in the UK and North America.
The Impossible Astronaut, starring Matt Smith, will be broadcast in the USA and UK on Saturday, 23 April. It's the first of a two-part story – written by Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat (Sherlock) – which was filmed in Utah last year. Though not yet confirmed, episode two, Day of the Moon, is thought to be scheduled for broadcast on Easter Sunday (24 April).
Radio Times Extra, a monthly sister publication to the weekly Radio Times listings magazine, features Matt Smith in its April issue, out today, highlighting the new series of Doctor Who as one to look out for.
Doctor Who series 6 Trailer via DoctorWhoTV
watch?v=Qm0OEBYXx4gWriting in Radio Times Extra, Alison Graham says, "After a surprisingly powerful and moving Christmas Day episode [A Christmas Carol, also by Moffat . . .] Smith returns for two chunks of Doctoring - seven episodes in the spring and another six in the autumn."
Graham has nothing but praise for the new series: "Since taking over from Russell T Davies [Torchwood], Moffat has injected renewed verve into the series, while Smith is a triumph."Earlier this week, the BBC broadcast an Internet-exclusive prelude webisode, which revealed "a little of what we can expect from the adventure . . . and what the Doctor will be facing", via its Doctor Who website. The mini-episode was written by Moffat and starred Stuart Milligan (Jonathan Creek) as President Richard Nixon.
Elsewhere, the BBC has begun broadcasting on its channels a number of short trailers from the new series in general and the opening story in particular.
Meanwhile, a Twitter exchange between several of those involved in the production of Doctor Who – Moffat, Neil Gaiman (writer), Edward Russell (brand manager) and Richard Clark (director) – has revealed a significant plot twist to the series, which, according to Moffat on the Doctor Who News Page, would "change the way you see Doctor Who forever forever – and that's a hand-on-heart promise".

I have refrained from posting rumors and such on Doctor Who series 6 as frankly other sites are doing a great job at this.
Here are a few tidbits on upcoming episode titles/details:
SPOILERS
Episode 1 and 2: 'The Impossible Astronaut'/'Day of the Moon' by Steven Moffat. Directed by Toby Haynes- filmed in Utah, featuring River Song and the Doctor from two time lines.
Episode 3: TBA by Steve Thompson. Directed by Jeremy Webb- involving pirates, possibly a siren of the sea.
Episode 4: 'The Doctor's Wife' by Neil Gaiman - set on an alien graveyard, rumored to include elements from the 1968 story The War Games.
Episode 5/6: 'The Rebel Flesh'/'Gangers' by Matthew Graham ('Fear Her')-rumored to deal with cloning, possibly involving Sontrarans and Cybermen.
Episode 7: 'A Good Man Goes to War or His Darkest Hour' -by Steven Moffat. Directed by Peter Hoar. Images revealed show Amy Pond bearing 'tally marks' in a spooky house and a new monster/enemy called the Silence. Cybermen, Silurians and Sontarans rumored to be featured. The cliffhanger promises to 'change the Doctor forever. Speculation involves the Doctor getting frozen ala Han Solo in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Apparently Character Options have already showcased toys based on this scene.
Series 6 part two
Episode 8: TBA (Demon's Run part two)
Episode 9: 'House Call or Night Terrors' by Mark Gatiss (The Unquiet Dead, Idiot's Lantern)- featuring very scary dolls.

| | Batman Vs. Superman? |
This weekend the third and final series of Batman the Brave and the Bold aired on Cartoon Network. In case you missed it, so did I. Here's an amazing clip and some additional information on this long awaited animated meeting of these superheroic titans.
For any readers who have not watched this series, it is a more light-hearted take on the comic book characters, closer in mood to the more inventive and madcap Silver Age issues. This may be more than a little jarring to fans of the grim Bruce Timm/noir take on Batman, but it is worth a look and remains on of my all-time favorite animated depictions of the character alongside Batman the Animated series and Batman Beyond.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold - "Battle of the Superheroes!" Clip
