If you aren’t familiar with the Eighth Doctor, the one before Christopher Eccleston, you can listen to a brand
episode that aired on BBC7 this past Sunday starring Paul McGann.
Here is a quick sample: Link
The Time Lord has plenty to deal with as an intruder appears in the TARDIS and the Daleks prepare to blight a damaged world.
(two-parter)
Written by Steve Lyons, directed by Nicholas Briggs
With Paul McGann (the Doctor), Sheridan Smith (Lucie Miller), Katarina Olssen (Headhunter), Anita Dobson (Eileen Klint), Kenneth Cranham (Tom Cardwell), Hayley Atwell (Asha/Martez), Gerry O’Toole (Lowell), Nicholas Briggs (Daleks)
31 December 2006 and 7 January 2006
(BTW the first 5 minutes might sound a little bit familiar to the big fans…)
So, I’m getting excited because I know that in just 7 days, not only is it Christmas but also the new Dr. Who Chrismas special is airing.
I’ve done a little research on the new series tonight and came up with some videos. Now I am HORRIBLE about spoilers. I almost never read the blurbs on book covers and dust jackets because invariably they reveal too much. So, I’ve watched 10 seconds of each new spoiler and closed the window.
Perhaps you aren’t so hung up on things and can enjoy these… I’ll come back for them on Boxing day…
