Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Title Revealed!



Posted by Ewan Cassidy

The BBC revealed the episode name of the 50th anniversary special, "The Day Of The Doctor!"

The poster revealed shows David Tennant, Matt Smith and Jon Hurt on the poster, although not much more was revealed.

In an article by the BBC, a picture of the Daleks was shown, announcing that they will be in the special. (Kinda obvious, but yay!)  The BBC also revealed that Billie Piper, however, will make a guest appearance.

The name of the actor playing William Hartnell will be David Bradley, and BBC4 will soon be playing William's first adventure (no date announced).

Familiar Faces, Double Identities


Posted by Allison Rose

Peter Capaldi isn't the first actor (or Doctor, for that matter,) who has had previous roles in Doctor Who:

1) Karen Gillan
Like Peter Capaldi, Karen Gillan played one of the eery, red-robed soothsayers in Series Four's episode, "The Fires of Pompeii."  Whovians know her better as Amy Pond from Series Five to Seven.

2) Colin Baker
The actor who so colorfully (pun intended) portrayed the Sixth Doctor in classic Who first appeared as another Time Lord, Commander Maxil, in a Fifth Doctor story arc, "The Arc of Infinity," which, ironically, did not contain an infinite amount of episodes, although fans of the Fifth Doctor would have most likely enjoyed that quite thoroughly.

3) Freema Ageyman
We know her as the Tenth Doctor's companion, Martha Jones, but before that, she played a character who is revealed to be Martha's cousin, Adeola.  Adeola worked for Torchwood, an organization which Martha later worked for as well in its eponymous spin-off series.

4) Chipo Chung
Chan-- Chung played Chantho in two episodes of the finale arc of Series Two, "Utopia" and "The Sound of Drums," a blue-skinned insect-like alien who worked with Professor Y.A.N.A. (you can figure out what that stands for).  The actress returned in Series Four to play the fortune teller who forces Donna to explore a disastrous alternate timeline.

5) Eve Myles
She's Gwen in Torchwood, but she also played a character named Gwendolyn back in Series One of the rebooted series, in the episode "The Unquiet Dead."  There's plenty of speculation as to why Gwen and Gwendolyn look the same, such as Gwen traveling back in time under an assumed name....

6) Bernard Cribbins
Remember Donna's sweet old grandfather, Wilf?  He had the honor of being the Doctor's companion in The End of Time, when David Tennant (sniff) regenerated into Matt Smith, but this is not the first time the actor has played a Doctor's companion.


Check out this trailer for the 1960s movie, Dr. Who and the Daleks.



"It's a flying saucer!"  Oh, Donna would be so jealous!

Remembering Elisabeth Sladen

Posted by Ewan Cassidy


ACTORS TRIBUTE

Elizabeth Sladen (Sarah-Jane Smith)

  To many Whovians, Sarah-Jane Smith will remain in their hearts forever.


 Since 1973, Elisabeth Sladen has played the role of a life time right to her death in 2011.  Her character, Sarah-Jane, has done almost everything in Doctor Who. Since joining Jon Pertwee, the Third Doctor, Sarah-Jane has battled Daleks, fought The Loch Ness Monster, met a robot dog called K-9, and adopted an alien son named Luke.

Hello Readers, and welcome to our second issue of TARDIS Magazine!

"I'm bored!"
  So much happened last month, with the announcement of the 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi, and what I learned was a Whovian holiday, Daaaaalek Appreciation Day.  This month might seem a bit boring by comparison.

  But fear not, through rain, sleet, hail, and school (hopefully,) we'll keep you guys un-bored!

  (If you'd like to help us help you stay un-bored, though, feel free to stop by our group and apply for a job.  Our fashion columnist position has opened back up - if you're interested in continuing it, please contact us!)

  Oh dear, that sounded so gloomy.  I suppose having a picture of Sherlock up there didn't help matters much....  Well, look to the bright side - only two months to go now until our favorite BBC shows return!

Sincerely,
Allison
