Series Fnarg – check that, Series Five – premiere news was the order of the day as the UK, US and Australia have all announced details about their respective launches while Canada sits in the background taking notes. From the bus to the cinema to conventions to the web, all the bases are covered as the BBC prepares to launch the new series of Doctor Who. Thankfully the banter gets broken up by the usual raft of fictitious awards and fictitious polls otherwise we could go on and on about global distribution of Doctor Who… and really, who needs that?

A post-Gally funk has set in for the Three Who Rule, but they soldiered on regardless, bringing you the news of the week and the irreverence you know and tolerate. Not that there was much news of course, but this week is only a precursor to the inevitable flood of pre-Fnarg promotion and pimpery sure to come, not to mention the premiere of an entirely new era of Doctor Who in mere weeks. Soon, my pretties, soon.

Anyway, listen for yourselves!

spacebadgeBy now we’ve all seen David Tennant morph into Matt Smith, and been offered a tantalizing glimpse of the 11th Doctor as he hurtles towards the Earth in a burning TARDIS. But we really have no idea what to expect from the new series, even factoring in spoiler reports and leaked pictures of new and returning monsters. Speculation is not only our only course of action, it’s also loads of fun, so let’s begin.

The most crucial element in any new series of Doctor Who is of course the Doctor himself. With Matt Smith, the audience has been handed a huge unknown, both in terms of his previous work and how he’ll portray the iconic character. All we really know is what we’ve seen in the final minute of “The End of Time Part Two,” and that’s barely anything to go on.
