News of the Whoniverse

It’s 6 December, and that means there’s only nineteen days left until Christmas. Also, nineteen days left until Voyage of the Damned. I’m getting a little bit impatient. Good thing that I have the Doctor Who advent calendar to keep me entertained. Here is what they’ve given us so far:

Day 1: A video greeting from the stars of the Christmas Special.
Day 2: Short Story: The Frozen by Rupert Laight
Day 3: WhoSpy pictures from the filming of the new Christmas Special.
Day 4: A Companions Quiz
Day 5: Printable Christmas Cards with pictures from Voyage of the Damned.
Day 6: Will be up in a few more hours.

Speaking of Voyage of the Damned, did you know that it will be 71 minutes long? That’s 11 minutes longer than last time. It will also be followed by a one hour Doctor Who Confidential. Further, all sorts of extra content will be launched on the official site after the Christmas episode airs. I’m really bad at waiting for things I really want. This is killing me.

DVD Update: According to TVShowsOnDVD.com, there have been some changes to the planned Doctor Who DVD releases. The Complete Davros Collection and Remembrance of the Daleks are off of the schedule. The new schedule looks like this: 4 March, 2008 - Destiny of the Daleks and Planet of Evil & 1 April 2008 - The Time Warrior and Timelash. These are all Region 1 releases.

Billie Piper’s Shadow in the North is also going to be playing during the Christmas Season. It doesn’t seem to have its own website yet, but for a bit more information go here. The first book in the series, and thus the first movie, is The Ruby in the Smoke. Both books are by Philip Pullman.

And finally, just for fun, the Hubblesite has holiday cards that you can print out. My favorite is the one with a picture of Mars, and the words “peace to all.” For those of you playing at home, Mars was the God of War. In any case, I like the picture, and I would like to wish you Peace on Mars.
