OK - I know this was probably shown over in the UK back in February, but it just showed up on BBC America this week - Matt Smith's drive around the Top Gear Track in their Reasonably Priced Car. I won't tell you where he came out on the list of the other 2 new series Doctors (Tennant and Eccleston) or Billie Piper - you'll just have to see. So for those of you in the UK and US who didn't see it - here is Matt Smith's trip around the Top Gear track.
If you want to re-live the others - here are the links to Christopher Elccleston's, David Tenant's and Billie Piper's drives:
Even though we are making our way through the loooooong hiatus between Seasons 6 and 7 - there's still Doctor Who News out there to be had and Marc Boxen, along with Nonamei Scribe bring it to you in their latest installment of Who News!
They've got some tidbits on the upcoming Season, a BBC report on a real life sonis screwdriver, some snippets from a Docotr Who Monthly interview with Setven Moffat and more Daleks than you can shake a gun stick at.
The gentleman who played the The Doctor's roommate and soccer pal and Stormageddon's father, James Corden, has been nominated for a slew of awards this stage season for his role in the comedy "One Man - Two Guvnors".
He has been nominated as "Best Actor in a Play" (as opposed to musicals - they have their own categories) for all of the big ones and some of the lesser known awards, the Tony, The Drama Desk Award (which covers Broadway, Off Broadway and off-off Broadway - I think those have to have at least a New York Zip Code), the Outer Critics Circle (publisher of Playbill) and the Drama League (support a variety of stage related projects in New York).
He's up against men who have played Truman Capote (Hoffman), Darth Vader's voice (Jones), Dracula (Langella) and The Trinity Killer (Lithgow) - a dangrous bunch to be sure.
Against that crowd it would be hard from our "Craig" to win, but you neevr know, I'm pulling for him :-)
If you have the money, can wade through all of the rules and happen to be hanging around Edinburgh, Scotland near the end of May (closing time for bids is 12:00 Noon May 31st) - one of them can be yours - here's more information from the Radio Times:
Also, Matt Smith (along with Michelle Dockery of Downton Abbey) will be doing some voice work for Disney Jr's "A Poem Is . . ." series - more on that here:
Mark Warner's back with his latest edition of Who News, hosted by Nonamei Scribe. It features news about the Dr Who "The Eternity Clock" game, some video of the Who crew in New York City's iconic Central Park and a David Tennant commercial for Virgin Atlantic's On Demand service for the telly. There's even a mention of Karen's Gillian's Twitter addy - but don't you all go bothering her :-) Use the link - or just watch below.
We have some Doctor Who and Doctor Who related News for you - and a new Tardis Adventure from our resident video genius Marc Warner.
First up - the Doctor, Amy and Rory have hit the US in a big way, filming in New York City this week and my favorite chick bloggers (aside from me) - the Geeky Girls Love Sci-Fi blog have caught some images and some slightly spoilery material. Both pics - above and below - are from their site located at
If you don't currently visit the Geeky Girls for all of your Sci-Fi news it's time you did :)
On a personal note - I am soooooo mad that I didn't know the Dr Who Crew would be a mere 90 miles away this week. I could have been up in Manhattan and in Central Park squeeing like all the other geeky girls - it's just a 2 hour train ride away. Oh well - maybe one day Mr Moffat and crew will write a story about how the Doctor and Ben Franklin hung out and how The Doctor helped start the American Revolution and they will come and film in Philadelphia :-)
The Girls also have information on Eve Miles and her desire to join the cast of "Sherlock" - I'm not sure about you but I would love to see Eve as a foil for Sherlock and Watson (Moriarty's sister maybe???) As someone who loved both seasons of "Sherlock" here in the US - I would love to see Eve take on the boys from Baker Street.
Here's an example - The Doctor and Amy on one of Central Park's iconic bridges:
Please give our friends over at SFX a look and some love and thanks to them for their cool pics :)
THE HANGOVER
Now onto news about our own Marc Warner and the beginning of his video series "The Tardis Adventures" wherein he plays a Time Lord. His first episode is up and entitled "The Hangover" and can be watched right here:
Enjoy
More news to come - if you have any news or events that you'd like to share on this blog - drop me an in-world SL IM and I'll be glad to ut it up for you
Marc Warner is back with the Who News Report - with Nonamei Scribe - and they bring us the latest Dr Who News - the Trailer for Season 7 from the Dr Who Convention in Cardiff - word on the 1st 5 episodes of Season 7 up to the Christmas Special and there's mention of the new companion - Jenna-Louise Coleman. I am going to go out on (what I think) is a very short limb and predict that the new companion is a fellow Galifreyan - could be a Time Lady - maybe not - but she has been promised to be VERY different - what do you think???
Anyway - please have a look at Marc's hard work - you'll like it :)
