With the full title Every Doctor Who Story 1963 to Now – A Babelcolour Tribute, this is a wonderful little video. And while any given show generally gets around 5 seconds of video, he really did manage to cover at least all the surviving stories, and gave the name and number of the ones that didn’t survive. Also included were various spinoffs, Children In Need specials, movies, parodies, games, and animations. There are a number of other Who tributes on the site you should check out; since I particularly like the Sarah Jane tribute, I am including that one as well.
One of the more interesting Anime’s for the new winter season, LAGRANGE -The Flower of Rin-ne from Viz Media. Here is a taste to get you started…
It is almost x-mas, and as all Doctor Who fans know, that means it is time for the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Entitled The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe, this one takes place in 1941 Dorset, where the widow has fled bringing her two children to avoid the bombing in London.
Happening tomorrow on x-mas eve at 9PM eastern on BBC America we have The Nerdist: Year In Review, hosted by Chris Hardwick. I am not quite sure how Chris became the definitive American nerd for BBC America, but we could be represented by a much less able spokes-geek and I for one am satisfied. The program includes guests Nathan Fillion and Will Wheaton talking about Firefly, a review of Neil Gaimon’s favorite Doctor Who moments, as well as David Tennant and Simon Pegg. Including the results of a two way competition for the Nerd of the Year Award, where you submit a video with your vote embedded in it. What makes it two way is the fact that three of the best videos (best as defined by a combined criteria of most convincing argument and overall geekery) will be featured on BBC America before the special airs.
Dave TV has announced that it has signed off on producing season 10 of Red Dwarf, which in fact the Red Dwarf web site has also posted. This is not the total shock and surprise that it could be since Craig Charles (Dave Lister) sort of leaked the information a few months ago at a con. Here is the video Dave is running as evidence that this really is happening.
In season two of Steven Moffat’s Sherlock Holmes it looks like Lara Pulver get’s to play Irene Adler. There are no trailers yet, but word is the new season starts on New Years Day, and the folks at Blogtor Who have some good promo pics posted. Of course, the Robert Downey Jr. movie Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows hits the big screen next Wednesday as well. And I assume everyone has been listening to BBC Radio 4 Extra over the past month, as they have played every Sherlock Holmes story ever written as radio plays. This is a great time to be a Holmes fan.
