Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock Set For May 23rd on Psn
16 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
By Jeffrey Matulef
Tracking Doctor Who through space and time is a sticky wicket alright, but by jove, I think we've got it! Thanks to the PlayStation Blog, we've deduced his arrival in Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock to earth, Wed, May 23rd. Its method of transport; digitally via PlayStation Network on PS3, with Ps Vita, PC, and Mac versions on the way. There will also be a retail release exclusive to the UK on May 25th.
Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock is a 2D puzzle/platformer starring Matt Smith and Alex Kingston reprising their roles as Doctor Who and Rivers Song respectively. The game will feature optional co-op as the pair make their way through four periods of London ranging from Elizabethan, Victorian, present day, and the future. Intriguingly, what you do in one time period will affect subsequent ones. As Grandpa Simpson once said, "If you ever travel back in time, »

Steven Moffat On The Ponds' Exit & What's Next For 'Doctor Who'
3 May 2012 9:38 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Spoilers! River Song hates them, but even "Doctor Who" head honcho Steven Moffat can't resist them now and then.
I recently interviewed Moffat to discuss his other show, "Sherlock," and how that show's star does (and does not) resemble the Doctor. At the end, I snuck in a couple of questions about the upcoming season of "Doctor Who," which is expected to arrive in the fall (though no date has been set by the network).
Some facts have leaked out about the upcoming season of the BBC America drama, but Moffat offered HuffPost TV a bit of a spoiler as well (well, it's only a spoiler if you haven't read much about the next season of "Doctor Who").
So let's step into the Tardis, shall we?
You're heading into the 50th anniversary season of "Doctor Who" in 2013. Do you feel a special burden or a special pressure or intensity? Is »

Upstairs Downstairs is axed, but did it really have to die?
23 April 2012 5:30 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The BBC revival of the 1970s period drama only lasted for two series after losing out in the ratings to Downton Abbey – I always said killing that monkey was a mistake
Four weeks after the last episode of the second series, the BBC has quietly announced that it won't be recommissioning Upstairs Downstairs. The revival of the 1970s period drama in December 2010 was initially a success, drawing 7.5 million viewers for its Boxing Day debut. The finale of the second series, however, could only muster around 4.5 million viewers the night it was broadcast. Not good enough for a Sunday night period drama on BBC1, and six million viewers fewer than Upstairs' ITV rival Downton Abbey.
There was not exactly a huge clamour by viewers to keep Upstairs Downstairs, despite an impassioned campaign here on the Guardian's series blog and on the Radio Times and BBC websites. People who loved Upstairs loved it very much. »

Doctor Who thing of the day: Matt Smith and... Alex Kingston’s driving double?

Geoffrey De Voe sent me this pic he snapped in New York the other night, of what appears to be Matt Smith with -- I hope -- Alex Kingston’s double for extremely long shots: [image] Click over to De Voe’s Twitter for a larger image. And get the full glory of the insanity. Spaceballs joke launching in 3... 2... 1... (If you stumble across a cool Doctor Who thing, feel free to email me with a link.) »

Spoilers! New Location Pics from a Dreaded Upcoming Episode of Doctor Who

We’re presuming that the title is enough to keep the major spoilerphobes away, so if you’re reading this you already know what Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat recently announced, and that we posted with spoiler warnings – that the Ponds are leaving, that their last episode will be episode 5, that the Weeping Angels will be in the episode, and that at least some of it will take place in New York.
Last week we showed you photos from a location shoot that included those scary scary statues. This week, the location is a little further off-set. Yes, The Ponds and The Doctor are in New York! And here are some sweet pics that are sure to start a fashion trend:

'Doctor Who' to welcome back previous character?

A casting call for the final episode of Amy Pond and Rory Williams on Doctor Who has revealed the appearance of an important character. According to Zap2it, River Song will be part of the departure episode of the characters played by Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, who took on the roles of companions to Matt Smith's Doctor in 2010. Makers of the long-running sci-fi show have confirmed that the episode, which will be the fifth episode in the upcoming series, will feature the return of The Weeping Angels. Alex Kingston will purportedly reprise her (more) »

'Doctor Who': River Song will appear in Amy and Rory's final episode
11 April 2012 6:46 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Spoilers, sweetie! Anyone who has missed "Doctor Who" since it ended it's last season is going to be thrilled with this news. Before our TV's made sad faces and the season ended, we saw River Song (Alex Kingston) finally marry her Doctor (Matt Smith) and reveal herself to her daughter Amy (Karen Gillan) and her husband Rory (Arthur Darvill).
The upcoming season will be the last for Amy and Rory before the new companion, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman enters the scene. They'll be departing in episode 5, Season 7, and are currently in New York filming the final moments. We got you some leaked pictures, if you want to see them in action.
We know there will be Weeping Angels, arguably the scariest of the "Doctor Who" villains. Now we know that River Song will be there to say goodbye to her daughter in 1940's NYC. Creator Steven Moffat said in a statement, »

Liam Neeson Vs. Ralph Fiennes
28 March 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
It’s been a couple years since they battled on screen in what became a huge blockbuster, 2010's "Clash of the Titans." Now, real-life friends Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are reprising their roles as Greek gods in "Wrath of the Titans." Neeson plays Zeus, king of the gods; Fiennes is Hades, his brother and god of the underworld.
These two acting giants first matched wits (and handsomeness) in "Schindler’s List," which scored them a ream of awards nominations and established both as leading men to be reckoned with.
Both were born citizens of the British Empire. Each has taken a different path in film stardom of late, with Neeson known for his recent man-on-a-mission roles and Fiennes renowned for his villainous turn as Lord Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" series.
You might think the 6'4" Neeson would come out on top in a matchup with the 6-foot Fiennes. »

HuffPost TV sat down with "Doctor Who" stars Matt Smith and Karen Gillan at the "Doctor Who" Convention in Cardiff, Wales on March 24 and 25 to talk about all things Whovian.
Smith chatted about his future as the Eleventh Doctor, the timing and manner of Amy and Rory's departure and what he would like to do next. Plus, find out what the cast's nickname is for "Doctor Who" showrunner Steven Moffat.
The stars weighed in on the Doctor's new companion, Jenna-Louise Coleman, and Smith threw down the gauntlet to "Who" wannabe, Helen Mirren. Read on for all of the scoop below.
Karen, do you have anything on a bucket list for Amy? Is there anything you want her to do before she leaves the Tardis?
Gillan: I don't know. I kind of, I know how I want her to go, and I actually know how she goes now ...
Really? Can you tell me? »

Upstairs Downstairs: episode six
25 March 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The series finale was complex, classy and brilliantly executed – one of the best costume drama episodes for many a year

Viv Groskop's episode five blog
Upon my word. I don't know what to say. I don't want it to end! The last 10 minutes of this episode may well be one of the best things seen in costume drama for many a year. Possibly ever. We had Lady Persie's last Sobranie, blood on the tiles of the hall of 165 Eaton Place, the chilling radio clip announcing "This country is at war with Germany." The runup to this episode's extraordinary climax was complex, classy and brilliantly executed. Downton who?
"Perfect untouchable Eaton Place. Where nothing happens and everyone's safe."
Oh the irony. I loved the lingering scene of debauchery at the »

Hallam's wrestling with his conscience, not to mention Lady Persie, in the latest ups and downs at Eaton Place
Spoiler Alert: This blog is for people watching Upstairs Downstairs on BBC1. Don't read on if you haven't seen episode five
Viv Groskop's episode four blog
Mr Pritchard's gone to the movies! Hallam has lost his shoe! Actually Hallam's lost more than that. He appears to have completely lost his mind and is now no longer just flirting with Persie and having the odd rub-up against a door. No, he's having a full-scale affair in a hotel.
And Lady Agnes has, understandably, upped sticks to Buckinghamshire. "Do you know, it might even be for the best," simpers the conniving Lady Persie in her beautifully clipped tones. But all of a sudden Hallam's recovered his sense of propriety and knocking off his wife's flighty sister is no longer such a brilliant idea after all. »

Top 10 Doctor Who Companions
14 March 2012 8:59 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Ah, the Doctor’s companions. No matter who they are, they exist to allow the Doctor to have someone to exposit to and keep him company on his adventures. There’s been about forty of them, mostly attractive women, and they’ve been everything from a Scots highlander to a 51st century time traveler, to a Time Lady, to a robot dog.
Now before we get into this list we have to define what makes for a companion. There’s several possible definitions, but I’ll be adopting the incredibly subjective definition of “they’re a companion because I say they are”. I have the vague guideline that they have to have stared in more than one story, and not get written out in their second story. Traveling with the Doctor in the Tardis is a nice bonus, but not required. Thus I include potential top 10 companions like the Brigadier, »

Upstairs Downstairs: episode three

The hectic pace cranks up even more, with Aunt Blanche embroiled in a steamy affair – but no mention of the war

Viv Groskop's episode two blog
Instead of asking ourselves what on earth went on in this week's episode, it would be much quicker to summarise what didn't happen. Just when you thought the series might take an upswing towards sensible, it headed into manic plot overdrive, giving us more back story and crazed exposition than a drawerful of Aunt Blanche's Sapphic correspondence.
So Aunt Blanche (Alex Kingston) turned out to be a lesbian. Who knew? Surely anyone who recognises the period drama shorthand which has been telegraphed from the first episode. All the signs were there: inquiring mind, no makeup, Virginia Woolf-type clothes, comfortable shoes...
And lo, here »

Viv Groskop's episode one blog
Boy, do they like to hop about the place in the space of an hour, like the Duke of Kent (Blake Ritson) doing the Lambeth walk fuelled on dirty martinis. Lawks a-lummy. It was all here and then some. Including a guest appearance by the kitchen sink for the oyster scene.
We had asbestos mines, moonshine and motion pictures. We had wilted florentines, consolatory rock cakes, macaroons destined to save the day and even an oblique reference to the sister with Down's syndrome in her sanatorium. Oh, and a mention of a nudist camp thrown in for good measure. Not forgetting Kristallnacht, Kindertransport and the Kennedys. Including JFK vomiting in the servants' loo. »
