Eleventh Hour clip

I'm very happy with Matt Smith's performance as the Doctor..

More BBC Promotion for #11

It really is nice to see that BBC America is putting together some nice things for the 11th Doctor launch on BBC America in a little over two weeks.

All of Time and Space...Follow Me

I'm very excited by the BBC America trailer... looks excellent. It's different from the previous era of Doctor Who -- but still very much recognizably Doctor Who. Should be great!

Series Fnarg trailer

Looks like everything is well in hand.

New Doctor Who Trailer

Kind of obviously designed for 3D!

Doctor Who success on BBC America

According to the Doctor Who News page The End of Time Part 2 set another record for BBC America, with about 1.47 million viewers across the three showings.

We've also seen The End of Time do well on iTunes, with both parts being in the top ten for the last day or two.

Even more promising than all of this is seeing that they're promoting the future of Doctor Who as well -- with the new series trailer prominently displayed promising new Doctor Who for us this spring, with the pages already getting updated with the new look.

I'll miss David Tennant as the Doctor -- but, well, Geronimo!

The Beginning

Our first look at the start of the next era of Doctor Who.

Closing the Window

I'm impressed about how quick Torchwood:Children of Earth is showing up on iTunes. And considering that it is showing up the day after it airs on BBC America -- which is only a couple of weeks after it aired in the UK -- I hope that this trend continues with the rest of the David Tennant specials and the new Matt Smith episodes in 2010.

Speaking of Matt Smith, my favorite collection of pictures from the first public days of shooting are at blogtorwho. There is something magical about seeing the show renew itself yet again....

And I'm really interested to hear what comes out of San Diego Comic C0n this weekend; as this will probably be the biggest promotional appearance Doctor Who has ever had in the US.

Today's Disturbing Matt Smith Revelation

Ok. I'm somewhat adjusted for an actor playing the Doctor being younger than me, and well, just about everyone I know. I trust that Steven Moffat knows what he's doing.

But then in the latest Doctor Who Magazine, they point out that not only is Matt Smith "younger" than DWM, but they give enough information for me to determine that the issue of DWM that was out when he was born was probably the first issue of DWM I ever got...
