This is going to be full of big spoilers, so ( into spoiler space ... )
Another Doctor Who Nu Who anniversary rewatch for us tonight, David Tennant’s very personal episode of Doctor Who Confidential from 2007. Only available for UK folks on the iPlayer seemingly until this Sunday.
Remembering The Detectorists
Dec. 24th, 2024 12:11 amAn absolutely delightful short programme aired earlier tonight, with Mackenzie Crook looking back at his TV series The Detectorists. For UK folks it’s on the iPlayer.
Doctor Who Magazine and upcoming episodes
May. 23rd, 2024 08:54 pmI’m a very lax reader of Doctor Who Magazine now, though I keep getting it in digital form on my iPad. I’m just too very ill now to read it exhaustively each month. However with today’s new issue I have dived in fast to read the previous of the upcoming episode numbers 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. It’s fair to say that 4, 6 and 7 are the ones I’m most excited about, after last weekend’s “Boom”. I won’t go into detail of what these next episodes are about except to put brief summary words in spoiler space ( mild spoilers ).
Episodes 7 and 8 are airing together in some UK cinemas late on Friday 21st June, shortly before the 8th episode goes up on the iPlayer at midnight, and before the BBC1 broadcast on Saturday night. However screening coverage outside the central belt of Scotland is very limited. I’m in Dundee and the nearest to me is in Dunfermline, 50/60 miles away. Closest after that is Edinburgh, then places like Glasgow and Aberdeen. To be fair I’m too ill to go to the cinema now, and it’s also too risky for me infection wise. But this isn’t great coverage. Though we are getting it on the iPlayer and BBC1. So I can’t really complain.

iPlayer Who
Nov. 1st, 2023 09:27 amDelighted to see Classic era Doctor Who (1963-1996) added to the iPlayer today. Though it's UK only. And unsurprisingly the very first story of all (!) is missing, due to obstructing actions by a rights holder. So glad I bought a DVD boxset of that very recently for that very reason ... There are also Tales of the TARDIS new episodes, reuniting old Doctors and their companions, looking back on old stories. And much more. All for Who's 60th anniversary this year. And of course we have new Who due very soon.
