Tardis and Shrek

I had an amazing time in London, and brought back a boatload of photos. I haven’t had a chance to process them for posting quite yet, but wanted to share just a few tonight. The first one is the Tardis console I am most familiar with, used by the 4th through 6th Doctor, if I am remembering right. This was just one of a collection of exhibits tied into the Doctor Who Experience, which was pretty much the reason I made the trip in the first place. The second is a snap of a candy store right around the corner from where I was staying. I did not take the picture because this is the last stop on the official Harry Potter tour of London (although it is), but because they had a wonderful poster in the window advertising Shrek, The Musical made entirely out of jelly beans.

Primeval Season 5

BBC America has announced that it will be carrying Primeval Season 5 beginning November 12th. I am very glad to hear it, but as someone who just spent the last week or 2 in the UK, I seriously want to know when we will be getting either Misfits or Car Wars over here. The new season of Misfits rolls out on October 30th in the UK (I was watching season two reruns), while the Driving Wars premiere episode just happened this past Wednesday, but those are two programs I would love to be watching on a regular basis. It looks like I may be able to buy episodes on iTunes for Misfits at least, but not so much for Car Wars.

Tardis Halloween

If you are looking for something unique to do this Halloween, you might want to consider the Doctor Who Experience Halloween weekender. Kids dressed up as Who characters get in free (one costumed child for each fully paid adult, I believe), always a plus. On Friday the 28th of October they have the Walk like a monster class, in which Ailsa Berk (choreographer for Doctor Who) will be showing you how it’s done. Word is both a Cyberman and a Scarecrow will be there helping her demonstrate the proper technique. On Saturday the 29th there will be face painters and live monsters entering the experience, visitors will have a chance to be made up like Doctor Who monsters. And on Sunday the 30th the Cybermen and Scarecrows return for the Monster Meet and Greet. Happy Halloween, Whovians!

More Who Muzak

Doctor Who, that is; this is TROCK, also known as Time Lord Rock. Have a taste of the home-made future, or perhaps another evolution of the Filk music we have been creating since the 1930s. While some of the execution is basic,
