The Crimson Horror: Tomorrow at 6.30pm.

BBC - Doctor Who - Fri, 05/03/2013 - 6:53am

The Doctor and Clara face The Crimson Horror on BBC One at 6.30pm, tomorrow - Saturday, 4 May.

It’s a brilliant episode written by stalwart Mark Gatiss, so expect plenty of action, chills, humour and a wonderful sense of the macabre. Screen legend Dame Diana Rigg plays the sinister Mrs Gillyflower and her real-life daughter, Rachael Stirling, is Ada. And if that’s not enough the adventure sees the return of the Paternoster Gang with Strax, Madame Vastra and Jenny all embroiled in the mysterious goings-on in Sweetville... As Matt Smith commented, ‘It’s nice having the Doctor and his gang back!’

The Crimson Horror is set during the Victorian era and we soon discover there’s something very odd about Mrs Gillyflower’s Sweetville mill, with its beautiful people and the perfectly clean streets that lead to it.  There’s something even stranger about the bodies being found dead in the area – they’re all bright red and waxy! When the Doctor and Clara go missing, it’s up to the Time Lord’s old friends, Vastra, Jenny and Strax, to rescue them before they also fall victim to the Crimson Horror!

Straight after the adventure finishes you’ll find the latest behind the scenes video featuring Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman that looks at the making of the episode – right here on the site. We’ll also have a range of new galleries, The Crimson Quiz, a fact file on the story plus the ‘Next Time’ trail for Nightmare in Silver.

But if you can’t wait for all that, check out our clips section where you’ll find an introduction to The Crimson Horror featuring Matt Smith and Dan Starkey plus two great preview clips and a trailer.

Brian Minchin confirmed as New Executive Producer of Doctor Who

BBC - Doctor Who - Tue, 04/30/2013 - 7:01am

BBC Cymru Wales has announced that Brian Minchin is to be the new Executive Producer of Doctor Who, alongside showrunner Steven Moffat.

Brian Minchin is an Executive Producer in BBC Wales drama, currently working on The Game, a new Cold War spy thriller from Toby Whithouse for BBC One, and Wizards Vs Aliens, Russell T Davies’ hit show for CBBC. He has also worked as BBC Executive Producer on Dirk Gently and Being Human.

Brian produced the RTS award-winning and BAFTA nominated series The Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as the UK sections of Torchwood: Miracle Day and was Assistant Producer on Torchwood: Children of Earth.

Brian, who grew up in Aberystwyth, joined the department in Cardiff in 2005 as a Script Editor working on BBC One Wales drama Belonging, before moving on to network dramas Doctor Who and Torchwood in the same role.

Brian says: “I'm thrilled and excited to be joining Steven Moffat on a show that has meant so much to me over the years. I've watched in awe as Steven has taken Doctor Who to wild and imaginative places and I can't wait to get started on many more adventures with the Doctor.”

Faith Penhale, Head of Drama Wales, says: “I've no doubt Doctor Who will enjoy a very exciting time with Brian at the helm working alongside Steven. Since joining BBC Wales in 2005, he’s proved he has a fantastic eye for story and a sharp awareness of what makes a drama like Doctor Who unmissable."

Steven Moffat, Lead Writer and Executive Producer, adds: "When I first took over Doctor Who, Brian was there as script editor, and in the most difficult time of a new Doctor and a new era, was completely brilliant. We lost him to producing The Sarah Jane Adventures at the end of our first run. Rising talent keeps rising, is how I comforted myself back then - but now I am beyond happy that Brian has risen all the way back to Doctor Who, in his new role of Executive Producer. I look forward to getting hopelessly lost in space and time with him."

Would You Trust Clara?

BBC - Doctor Who - Tue, 04/30/2013 - 5:16am

On Saturday we confirmed that the mystery of Clara Oswald will at last be solved in the series finale, The Name of the Doctor. ‘All I can say,’ Jenna-Louise Coleman told us,  ‘is that Clara hasn’t just met the Doctor three times before…’

But for now, the questions remain. How can Clara have died twice and yet still be alive and apparently unaware of her own impossibility and why has the TARDIS been so wary of her? Even the Doctor has admitted to his new companion, ‘I look at you every single day and I don’t understand a thing about you…’  

The Time Lord seems to have accepted she’s not, in his own words, a trick or a trap, beaming with relief as he exclaimed during Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS, ‘You’re just Clara!’

But if you were in the Doctor’s boots would you be quite so sure about ‘the impossible girl’? With all the mystery surrounding her, our question to is simple… If you were the Doctor, would you trust Clara?

Matt and Jenna on the Truth about Clara, the Finale and More!

BBC - Doctor Who - Sat, 04/27/2013 - 1:05pm

The current series has already given us some terrifying new monsters, familiar foes and even a journey to the centre of the TARDIS. But now Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman reflect on what adventures are in store and what they were like to create…

Next week’s episode is The Crimson Horror, written by Mark Gatiss. It sees the return of Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax and features Dame Diana Rigg and her daughter, Rachael Stirling.  It’s the first time the pair has worked together on screen and they play two Victorian ladies who share a dark secret…

‘I loved working with Diana Rigg,’ Jenna reveals. ‘ I loved the way she operated and carried herself… It was great to sit back and watch how mother and daughter worked and their dynamic together.’ Matt agrees, adding, ‘It was an intriguing and creative experience watching mother and daughter work together… Dame Diana has had such an illustrious career and Rachael is a great actress.’

The following week the Doctor becomes embroiled in a Nightmare in Silver. The episode is written by Neil Gaiman and features new look Cybermen. Matt’s not giving much away but he does tell us, ‘I think they’ll surprise a few people…’ Neil Gaiman has confirmed his brief was to make the Cybermen scary again so we look forward to their return with a degree of excited trepidation!

The finale has the intriguing title, The Name of the Doctor, and Jenna lights up as she discusses it. ‘The finale story is such a fantastic idea; it’s epic and huge and filled with drama. It was really exciting to sit down and read the script,’ she enthuses.  ‘There are little bits and pieces which Steven planted a couple of years ago.  It’s just really clever and a crucial moment in the Doctor’s life that you get to explore with the best baddies!  I really think they are going to become another Moffat classic!’

Matt agrees about the ‘baddies’, a brand new enemy known as  the Whisper Men. ‘They’re truly terrifying!’ he tells us, before dropping a couple of hints about what else we can expect from the adventure.  ‘With the 50th this is going to be by far the biggest year in the history of the show.  And the finale is just the start.  It focuses on a pivotal moment in the Doctor’s life and the life of his companion…’

We can at last confirm that the finale will also solve the mystery around ‘the impossible girl’. Having remained tight-lipped about Clara, is Jenna looking forward to being able to talk about her character’s enigma? ‘I am, I can’t wait!’ she admits. ‘All I can say is that Clara hasn’t just met the Doctor three times before…’

Matt nods, but won’t be drawn into saying anything more about the finale. We press him and he finally relents. ‘It’s a complete game changer,’ he concedes with a smile, ‘…and it all starts now!’

Check out images for The Crimson Horror, Nightmare in Silver and The Name of the Doctor and don’t forget, the first of these adventures, The Crimson Horror, is on BBC One this Saturday - 4 May at 6.30pm.

Steven Moffat on the Finale, New Monsters and More!

BBC - Doctor Who - Fri, 04/26/2013 - 6:01pm

We’re halfway through the current run of 8 episodes of Doctor Who and still have the 50th anniversary and much more to look forward to! So what better time to catch up with the show’s  lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat, to ask him about what we can expect from the future…

Question: Opening up the final part of this series we get to explore the Doctor’s time travelling machine in Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS, but what surprises can we expect?

Steven Moffat: We’ve already revealed that the Doctor has a swimming pool and the TARDIS has a problem with Time Zombies, but there’s much, much more than that.  We guarantee there will be surprises, but you’ll have to watch to find out exactly where we’ll be going as we finally explore beyond the console room.  

Q: Why did you decide to introduce creepy new monsters, The Whisper Men, in the last episode?  What was your inspiration for them?

SM: The great dilemma is that Doctor Who is never more like Doctor Who when it is introducing a new monster, but equally when it’s reviving a foe from the classic era.  Having brought back two of the classics, the Ice Warriors and the Cybermen, this year we wanted a brand new monster to create chills in the finale.  And the thought of stylish whispering almost faceless creatures was an idea that firstly scared me and that I thought would work well in an episode that looks forward and back.

Q: We know that the Cybermen return with an updated design, why did you decide to change them?

SM: One of the things that the Cybermen historically like to do before involving themselves in a new military campaign is run up a new outfit. Throughout the classic series they always changed their appearance and we’ve been very consistent with them.  I thought it was time that they went back to their tailor and had a re-model!

Q: How was it having mother and daughter Dame Diana Rigg and Rachael Stirling on set for The Crimson Horror?

SM: It’s obviously a great honour to have either of those actors on the show, but to have them acting together for the very first time on anything is quite extraordinary.  Only Doctor Who can do this and possibly only when Mark Gatiss is behind it.

Q: What can you tell us about the finale?

SM: It’s full of surprises and questions that have never been answered in the history of Who, including the Doctors greatest secret. We’re not pretending, we’re not kidding, it’s actually going to happen.  The episode is called The Name of the Doctor and involves our hero in a conflict that is very, very personal to him.  Usually he’s saving other people, but this time he might be the one who needs to be saved.  We’ll also find out what makes his new companion so impossible and there’s a surprise that no one has got right so far, and one that will change the course of Who forever!
