With The End of Time approaching, the BBC has released yet another promo "trailer" for it. Time will end this Christmas. Happy Holidays.

A belated Happy Birthday to Nicholas Courtney who turned 80 on the 16th of December. Nicholas Courtney has been connected to the Doctor Who series going back to when William Hartnell was the Doctor. He is best known for his role as Brigadier Sir Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart. Aside from appearing in two episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures last year (Enemy of the Bane parts 1 and 2), he has yet to appear in the series since its return in 2005, although there have been some references. 

A special birthday wish and thank you goes out to Nicholas Courtney for the years of enjoyment he has brought to our screens throughout time and space.

Here is another behind-the-scenes Doctor Who video from BBC America with David Tennant discussing the TARDIS.

Doctor Who: Podshock Correspondent, Joshua Lou Friedman with British Golden Globe nominee, Carey Mulligan (Sally Sparrow) on Thursday night (10th of December) at the 'An Education' gala in Los Angeles. Mulligan has just been nominated for a Golden Globe for her work in An Eduction, which are traditionally seen as a pathway to the Oscars. Doctor Who fans may recall her (with longer hair) in the 'Doctor-lite' story, Blink playing Sally Sparrow.

"My last incarnation… oh, I was never happy with that one. It had a sort of feckless "charm" which simply wasn't me!"

Doctor Who: Podshock - Episode 172 EXTRA Edition
Running Time: 1:44:51

We review all 10 Doctor's eras of Doctor Who in this Deca-Doctor Special of Doctor Who: Podshock. As we approach the new 11th Doctor era, we review where we came from with the previous 10. Included are interviews we conducted over the years with various actors to play the Doctor (including Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann), some of which have never been featured on Doctor Who: Podshock before.

David Tennant is featured here in one of the extras included in the Doctor Who: Complete Specials box sets coming out in 2010 (February 2 in the US) on DVD and Blu-ray.

To make up for having to miss out on going to meet the man himself at Chicago TARDIS, I settled instead for the pleasure of listening to the recent Big Finish 8^th Doctor audio – “The Company of Friends”. And a real delight it was too (more details on that below!). While listening to it, I marveled at the breadth of “friends” (or companions) that the 8^th Doctor has accumulated, across a wide range of mediums. In fact, all told, it is possible that the 8^th Doctor may have had more companions (15, by my rough count) than any other incarnation! This is all the more astonishing given the brevity of his television appearances – about 50-55 minutes of a 90-minute TV movie.

The End of Time is coming… faster than you can imagine. Here is the latest "trailer" promo video for Doctor Who: The End of Time coming to the BBC on Christmas Day and to BBC America on Boxing Day with part 1 of 2 of the last David Tennant as the 10th Doctor specials.
