The Eleventh Doctor

New companion, named Amy Pond, looks like she's wearing a Snuggly. The new look for the Doc looks like a cross between 50's Cambridge professor or 50's traveling salesman. I'm sure it'll grow on me. You can see a bit of the new TARDIS look as well.

Easier to pronounce than Agyeman...

....but a better companion? Karen Gillan will be the 11th Doctor's companion for the new season. You may not recognize her (as she was in make-up) from her role as a Sister in the Sisterhood in the episode "The Fires of Pompeii". I'm a bit wary because it seems that Who headliners are getting younger and younger... I'll hold my opinion until I see her and Smith next year in season 5.

Stephen Hawking "Very Ill"

My thoughts and prayers go out to Prof. Stephen Hawking. He is one of the most brilliant minds the world has seen and one of my personal heroes. Here's a link to the full story.

Planet of the Dead is upon us!

Here are some stills from "Planet of the Dead". Easter is only a week away!

And here's the synopsis...

When a London bus takes a detour to an alien world, the Doctor must join forces with the extraordinary Lady Christina, in this one-off seasonal special. But the mysterious planet holds terrifying secrets, hidden in the sand. And time is running out, as the deadly Swarm gets closer.

Planet Of The Dead features David Tennant as the Doctor, Michelle Ryan as Lady Christina and Lee Evans as Malcolm and is written by Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts.

Apologies

My deepest apologies to the....let's count em up....one person who reads my blog. School is keeping me very busy. When things liven up on the SarahWhoWood front, I'll be sure to drop a line. CHEERS! -Jay

Torchwood Update

The new TW trailer will be shown at the NY Comicon next month. This is what RTD has to say about it....

"Torchwood face their toughest battle to date in this new series," says Russell T Davies. "This latest threat causes global shockwaves and the team has to fight with everything they've got to survive. Viewers are in for a real treat."

Is The Doctor in for a Wildthyme?

Not the actual bus spotted during filming of "Planet of the Dead" (I didn't want to use a production photo without permission)... Does anyone remember Iris Wildthyme? Look her up. God I hope it's not her. On second thought, tho.... It could be fun. Very far-fetched, yet interesting. Actress Katy Manning (former 3rd Doc companion Jo Grant) is pictured here portraying her in audio & book adventures.
