“The Empty Child” Review

Possibly one of Eccleston’s best stories? We take a look at the creepy first part written by The Moff. Great writing, superb direction and design but does it float out boat or leave us running for the air raid shelter?

Thank you all for joining us once again and your reviews. Next week we’re looking at the Colin Baker story – The Two Doctors, your thoughts on this will be great. Until then have a fantastic week and remember – Allons-y!

Yes, the final 2 episodes really were that good.

At the Arrow of Time, we enjoy probing into deep important topics, such as whether or not the comedy joke show known as “The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot” is really a satirical sad sack of smelly socks. Or, if we have multiple Doctors, would they be called Doctor Whos or Doctors Who? Join us as we delve into that and much more!

For our WhoTube, we have “Holding Out for a Hero (a Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart fanvid)” from Calapine, and the Brigadier is Ace. But probably not the Ace you were expecting. http://youtu.be/KhbeaRvLX7c

from wiki An Adventure in Space and Time is a British television docudrama commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the science fiction series Doctor Who, which tells the story of its creation. It is written by the Doctor Who and Sherlock writer Mark Gatiss. Details of the film were announced by the BBC on 9 August 2012, with the programme airing on BBC Two in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2013,[3] on BBC America in the United States and Space in Canada on 22 November 2013,[4] on UKTV in New Zealand on 22 November 2013[5] and on ABC1 in Australia on 24 November 2013.[6] The TV programme was shown in a pre-screening at the British Film Institute in Southbank on 12 November 2013.[7] Contents   [hide]  1 Synopsis 2 Production 3 Cast 3.1 Doctor Who actors 3.2 Behind-the-scenes personnel 3.3 Others 4 Earlier proposals 5 Home media 6 References 7 External links Synopsis[edit] In 1966, William Hartnell (David Bradley) is in his dressing room at the BBC. He insults a stagehand who calls him to the set, where the delay caused by his absence is noticed. Hartnell enters in costume, ready to film his last moments as the Doctor and stands in front of the TARDIS console. First gazing at the ceiling, he lowers his head and closes his eyes. Three years earlier, BBC executive Sydney Newman (Brian Cox) is asked to create a show that will fill the gap between Grandstand and Juke Box Jury. He has an idea for a science-fiction series with the central character being a "doctor", although he does not know of what. When he tells his colleague Verity Lambert (Jessica Raine) she is hesitant to join the project. She changes her mind when Newman asks her to be the producer, not his assistant. Lambert and the show's director, Waris Hussein (Sacha Dhawan), meet William Hartnell to offer him the lead role in what will eventually be titled Doctor Who and, despite some trepidation, he accepts. During a rehearsal, Hartnell is dissatisfied that the TARDIS lacks an interior set. Newman then compliments Hartnell's acting ability to save his producer from a troublesome conversation. However, Newman has misgivings about Lambert's handling of her job. This inspires Lambert to become more assertive and she forces the set designer to finally create the TARDIS interior. He does so effortlessly, impressing Lambert. The recording of the pilot episode is beset with difficulties; Newman dislikes the result and orders a re-shoot. Following this, he is finally contented and schedules a transmission date. After the broadcast of the first episode, Lambert and Hussein are nervous, as it occurs the day after the assassination of John F. Kennedy and its potential audience is diminished. Newman summons Lambert and tells her of Controller of BBC1 Donald Baverstock's (Mark Eden) request to cancel the show, but Lambert emphasises her belief in it and asks him to repeat the first episode before the second is screened. For the next serial, Newman expresses his concern about the Daleks, referring to them as "bug-eyed monsters", which he refused to allow on the show since its creation. However, Lambert eventually convinces him. Following the transmission of thefirst Dalek story, Lambert realises its popularity when she spots children impersonating the creatures' catchphrase, "Exterminate". Newman is pleased to tell her that the programme achieved a viewership of 10 million and continued production is now assured. As most of the original cast and crew (including Hussein and Lambert) gradually move on to other projects, Hartnell's health declines, which leads to him forget lines and require scenes to be re-shot — something the BBC can ill-afford. Hartnell meets with Newman and asks for a reduced workload, but the decision has already been taken to replace him. Hartnell has grown to embrace playing the Doctor and struggles with his emotional attachment to the character. However, he reluctantly accepts the situation. As he later informs his wife, Heather (Lesley Manville), of the news he breaks into tears and says, "I don't want to go." Before his final scene, Hartnell shares a brief exchange with his successor, Patrick Troughton (Reece Shearsmith). As the cameras are about to record, Hartnell looks across the main console. He sees Matt Smith, who will play the same role nearly 50 years later, and who silently acknowledges Hartnell's legacy. Production[edit] The drama is produced by Matt Strevens, and directed by Terry McDonough.[8] Filming began in February 2013. The production was based at the Wimbledon Studios in London,[9] with shooting also taking place at BBC Television Centre. On Sunday 17 February 2013, location filming for the drama took place early in the morning on Westminster Bridge in London.[10] This involved replicas of 1960s Dalek props crossing the bridge, in a recreation of a famous scene from the 1964 Doctor Who serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth.[10] Interior scenes replicating early Doctor Who production at Lime Grove Studios were also filmed, showing 1963-era cameras and studio equipment.[11] To make the drama understandable to a general audience not knowledgeable about the history of Doctor Who, not all of those involved in its creation are represented in the script.[12] For example, the programme's original story editor David Whitaker does not appear, and his role is merged with that of associate producer Mervyn Pinfield.[12] Part of the production involved the recreation of scenes from the classic series, some of which are from missing episodes such asMarco Polo.[13] Mark Gatiss had stated that his ambitions included filming the death of Sara Kingdom from the missing episode 12 ofThe Daleks' Master Plan, using actress Jean Marsh (who originally played the character in 1965) to play the increasingly aging Sara, and using Super 8 footage of the Radio Times publicity photo-shoot for The Three Doctors, but the budget could not accommodate them.[14] Cast[edit] A number of the cast have appeared in Doctor Who at one time or another, most notably William Russell and Carole Ann Ford. David Bradley appeared in the Series 7 episode "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", while Jessica Raine was in the Series 7 episode "Hide", both alongside Matt Smith as the Doctor; Jeff Rawle was in the Season 21 serial Frontios with Peter Davison; Mark Eden appeared as the title character in the Season 1 serial Marco Polo with William Hartnell; Nicholas Briggs has played the voice of the Daleks since the series was revived in 2005 and Brian Cox voiced the Elder Ood in The End of Time. Jean Marsh and Anneke Wills, who both played companions to Hartnell's First Doctor also appeared during Verity Lambert's leaving party scene. Doctor Who actors[edit] David Bradley as William Hartnell, who portrayed the First Doctor Jamie Glover as William Russell, who portrayed Ian Chesterton Jemma Powell as Jacqueline Hill, who portrayed Barbara Wright Claudia Grant as Carole Ann Ford, who portrayed Susan Foreman Anna-Lisa Drew as Maureen O'Brien,[15] who portrayed Vicki Reece Shearsmith as Patrick Troughton, who portrayed the Second Doctor Sophie Holt as Jackie Lane,[16] who portrayed Dodo Chaplet Nicholas Briggs as Peter Hawkins, original voice of the Daleks and Cybermen Toby Hadoke as the Cyril the caveman[17] Behind-the-scenes personnel[edit] Brian Cox as Sydney Newman, co-creator Jessica Raine as Verity Lambert, original producer Sacha Dhawan as Waris Hussein, original director Sarah Winter as Delia Derbyshire, creator of composer Ron Grainer's theme tune recording Jeff Rawle as Mervyn Pinfield,[18] associate producer Andrew Woodall as Rex Tucker,[18] director Ian Hallard as Richard Martin,[18] director David Annen as Peter Brachacki,[19] original production designer Sam Hoare as Douglas Camfield,[20] director Mark Eden as Donald Baverstock,[20] controller of BBC1 Others[edit] Lesley Manville as Heather Hartnell,[21] wife of William Hartnell Cara Jenkins as Judith "Jessica" Carney,[20] granddaughter of William Hartnell William Russell as Harry Carole Ann Ford as Joyce Ross Gurney-Randall as Reg Reece Pockney as Alan[18] Charlie Kemp as Arthur[20] Roger May as Len[20] Kit Connor as Charlie[citation needed] Matt Smith as himself Jean Marsh (uncredited cameo) Anneke Wills (uncredited cameo) Donald Tosh (uncredited cameo) Earlier proposals[edit] Gatiss first pitched the idea of such a drama to the BBC for the programme's fortieth anniversary in 2003, submitting a proposal to BBC Four.[22] However, the proposal was rejected by the BBC, and Gatiss was told there was no available slot or budget for such a programme.[22] Ten years prior to Gatiss's pitch, at the time of Doctor Who's thirtieth anniversary in 1993, film-maker Kevin Davies had proposed a similar project called The Legend Begins to the BBC.[23] The Legend Begins would have mixed documentary interviews with those responsible for the creation of Doctor Who with a dramatised strand showing the programme's beginnings.[22] Eventually, the dramatisation idea was abandoned in favour of a standard documentary format looking at the entire history of Doctor Who, which was eventually broadcast on BBC1 as Doctor Who: Thirty Years in the TARDIS in November 1993.[23] When interviewed in 2003, Mark Gatiss said that he was unaware of Davies's earlier The Legend Begins proposal when he first came up with the idea for his programme.[22] Home media[edit] The programme will be released on DVD on 2 December 2013.[24][25] An Adventure in Space and Time is a British television docudrama commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the science fiction series Doctor Who, which tells the story of its creation.

The deus ex machina trope has been explored and adapted more times in science fiction media that we could count. When Doctor Who writer Robert Holmes developed the Nestene Consciousness for “Spearhead from Space”, he paired the concept of a non-corporeal sentient being with the god-in-the-machine premise in the form of the Autons, and the Whovian world would never be the same. Not left to rest on his laurels, however, Holmes was by no means finished, and in the next appearance […]

In this weeks episode Phil and Paul return to the written word with a look at the Target novelisation of The Time Meddler.  So prepare for Viking hordes, mysterious Monks, Lord Flashheart and the Doctors quest to become and alcoholic.  Amongst all this though they make comparisions to the televised version and find that the author manages to shock Phil!

And in the news this week the sad passing of legendary Doctor Who director Christopher Barry, a pointless poll, some news of Philip Hinchcliffe's contribution to Big Finish and in Omega's Tat Corner some quality mintage and some not so quality action figures.

This week we follow the adventures of Sally Sparrow as she uncovers the mystery of the weeping angels. And with a little help from an easter egg hunter and the Doctor, she might just have what it takes.

Synopsis This title was released in February 2017. It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until March 31st 2017, and on general sale after this date. The TARDIS has landed in a war zone. The Doctor, Romana and K9 find themselves traipsing through an inhospitable battlefield. Strange lights flicker in the sky, and stranger creatures lurk in the darkness. When rescued from an attack by a Sontaran tank, the time-travellers discover they're facing a far more dangerous foe than the battle-hungry clones. This terrifying fight has been going on longer than anyone can remember... and shows no signs of stopping. With the TARDIS missing and their luck running thin, the Doctor and his friends' only hope of survival is to uncover the truth about what is happening on this planet. If they can discover the secret of the eternal battle they might just survive... but it might just mean the end of them all. Written By: Cavan Scott and Mark Wright Directed By: Nicholas Briggs Cast Tom Baker (The Doctor), Lalla Ward (Romana), John Leeson (K9), Dan Starkey (Field Major Lenk/Sergeant Major Stom), Jane Slavin (Captain Nina Albiston/Sycon Computer), John Banks (Brennan/Trooper Varn) Producer David Richardson Script Editor John Dorney

Here it is folks, we've finally got round to reviewing the 50th Anniversary spectacular, The Day of The Doctor.  So what did Paul and Phil reckon to this multi Doctor story?  During their discussion they touch on the dangling Zygon plot thread, the necessity of an extra Doctor, the fan reaction to "Rose" and who is Tom Baker?

And in the news this week it's stats!!  And Michael Grade is still a stubborn old sod.

Toni and Joe take a look back at the Second Doctor and rank his companions and his serials. Shrek tears up the charts.

279 days until The 51th Anniversary!

And in the news this week the sad passing of legendary Doctor Who director Christopher Barry, a pointless poll, some news of Philip Hinchcliffe's contribution to Big Finish and in Omega's Tat Corner some quality mintage and some not so quality action figures.
