So I heard an MMO is coming out about Dr. Who.


Huhwhat.

Apparently.
Quote:
BBC has confirmed it will be releasing a massively multiplayer online game based in the Doctor Who universe.

Doctor Who: Worlds in Time is being developed by Three Rings Design, a San Francisco based studio that has released a number of MMO and browser-based games in the past.

"Doctor Who: Worlds in Time will be a free-to-play multiplayer online game that invites players to save the universe by using their wits to solve time-bending puzzles and pulse-pounding challenges", said EVP of digital entertainment at BBC Worldwide Robert Nashak.

"Three Rings is the ideal team for this groundbreaking creative partnership. Not only are they visionaries in the online gaming space, they are lifelong Doctor Who fans with a passion for delivering the level of quality that our players will expect and deserve."


Three Rings CEO Daniel James has said the goal of the game is to stay true to the spirit of the popular franchise and create a fun, simple game at the same time.

"Three Rings is delighted and honored to have the opportunity to create an online game based on Doctor Who. Our goal with Words in Time is to capture the imaginative spirit and depth of the series, whilst being fun and easy to play for all ages." added James.

Craig Owens (the roommate in The Lodger) will have another appearance, it seems.
A line from his episode (which begins filming "in a week"):
"I work in a shop, now."

The news comes after a tweet was posted yesterday unofficially revealing that James Corden, the actor who plays Craig, would be coming back to Doctor Who: "They're filming Doctor Who with James Corden the whole 2nd week of March on my street. Just saying."

This could have something to do with the clip in the Series 6 preview which showed the spaceship from The Lodger (this one).

ALSO
Nicholas Courtney died a few days ago. He was the best character out of the old series, aside from the Doctor himself. Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. He reprised his role once or twice since the old series (such as in The Sarah Jane Adventures), and he was just awesome. He was 81 years old. RIP, guy with the longest character name ever.

Double post woooo.

SO, in The War Games, the Doctor used a white box to contact the Time Lords.
Image
In the preview for Series 6 (in a clip from Neil Gaiman's episode), the Doctor has another white box.
Image
Almost all the Time Lords are gone (I don't think Susan ever died. *shrug*) so instead of sending a message, he could be receiving a message from an old friend with a new face? It'd be amazing to have Susan show up.

Anyway, Gaiman's episode is #4, and
Quote:
according to DWM #427, the episode begins in void-space, with something or someone we have not seen since The War Games, and a knock on the TARDIS door. At the New Yorker Festival, Gaiman had revealed that at one point he takes up a plot point from The War Games.

Plot point being the white box?
Quote:
At the New Yorker Festival Gaiman revealed that the character Surrane Jones plays in the episode, Idris "...may very well be an old acquaintance of the doctor with a new face..."
This is further embellished in DWM #428 which reveals that although Idris is preparing for death as the story begins, she doesn't actually die. By the time the Doctor and friends meet her she's gone mad and ends up biting the Time Lord; and apparently there is a startling truth about Idris's new soul - even the Doctor doesn't believe her!

The 11th Doctor's face is priceless in that picture.

Apparently Mondasian cybermen will be back and named as such, with a new prop to boot.

The latest in the BBC Books range of Doctor Who novels following the adventures of the Eleventh Doctor and his companions are due for release on the 28th April 2011:
Quote:
Doctor Who: Dead of Winter (available for pre-order)
by James Goss

"The Dead are not alone. There is something in the mist and it talks to them."

In a remote clinic in 18th-century Italy, a lonely girl writes to her mother. She tells of pale English aristocrats and mysterious Russian nobles. She tells of intrigues and secrets, and strange faceless figures that rise from the sea. And she tells about the enigmatic Mrs Pond, who arrives with her husband and her physician.

What she doesn't tell her mother is the truth that everyone knows and no one says - that the only people who come here do so to die.

Quote:
Doctor Who: The Way Through the Woods (available for pre-order)
by Una McCormack

"As long as people have lived here, they've gone out of their way to avoid the woods..."

Two teenage girls disappear into an ancient wood, a foreboding and malevolent presence both now and in the past. The modern motorway bends to avoid it, as did the old Roman road. In 1917 the Doctor and Amy are desperate to find out what's happened to Rory, who's vanished too.

But something is waiting for them in the woods. Something that's been there for thousands of years. Something that is now waking up.

Quote:
Doctor Who: Hunter's Moon (available for pre-order)
by Paul Finch

"There's no end to the horror in this place - it's like Hell, and there are devils round every corner."

On Leisure Platform 9 gamblers and villains mix with socialites and celebrities. It's a place where you won't want to win the wrong game.

With Rory kidnapped by a brutal crime lord, the Doctor and Amy infiltrate a deadly contest where fugitives become the hunted. But how long before they realise the Doctor isn't a vicious mercenary and discover what Amy is up to? It's a game that can only end in death, and time for everyone is running out.


In addition, the 12th May will see a new book released dedicated to the Doctor's greatest foe:
Quote:
The Dalek Handbook (available for pre-order)
by Steve Tribe and James Goss

Daleks!

The Dalek Handbook is your complete guide to the Doctor's greatest enemies. It explores the Daleks' origins on the planet Skaro, how a Time Lord intervention altered the course of Dalek history, and how they emerged to wage war on Thals, Mechonoids, Draconians and humans. It also reveals the secrets of Dalek design, the development of their iconic look and sound, and their enduring appeal on and off the screen.

With artwork and photographs from six decades of Doctor Who, The Dalek Handbook is the ultimate celebration of all things Dalek.

Exterminate!





Also another actor has died.
Michael Gough was best known to Doctor Who fans for his role as The Celestial Toymaker alongside the first Doctor, William Hartnell. He later appeared with fifth Doctor Peter Davison when he played the Doctor's old friend Hedin, in the 1982 story 'Arc of Infinity'.
He was 94 or 95 when he died - he was born in Kuala Lumpa in either 1916 or 1915, he never knew which. Despite the uncertainty about his year of birth, he holds the honour of being one of the longest-lived actors to have appeared in Doctor Who. His career was extraordinary. Between 1947 and 2000, he recorded at least one film per year, often more, in addition to a busy TV and stage career, which included tours with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Michael Gough's unstoppable film career began in the forties, with 'Androcles and the Lion', but it was his role as Nicholai in 'Anna Karenina' that set in motion a prolific and distinguished movie career. By the early sixties he was well-known to TV viewers through such series as 'The Adventures of Robin Hood', 'The Count of Monte Christo', 'The Saint', ITV's 'Play of the Week' and many more.

After appearing in the title role of the 1965 Doctor Who story 'The Celestial Toymaker', Gough started to achieve a cult status among horror film fans, appearing in several notable productions from Hammer and Amicus, while continuing to be a regular face on British TV, with roles in 'The Avengers', 'Orlando', 'The Champions' and 'Theatre 625', to name just a few. Throughout the seventies, he continued making several movies and TV series each year. Among the many classic series he appeared in during that decade are 'Colditz', 'The Protectors', 'Crown Court' and 'Blake's 7'. His career continued into the eighties with 'Brideshead Revisited,' 'Smiley's People' and a second appearance in Doctor Who - this time with the fifth Doctor, Peter Davison.

After a further decade of TV and film appearances, Gough found new adoration among a new generation of film-goers as Batman's butler, Alfred, in the new films in that franchise which began in 1989. His relentless work-rate continued during the 90s and into the 2000s, and he established a long friendship with director Tim Burton, appearing in 'Sleepy Hollow' (as Notary Hardenbrook), 'Corpse Bride' (voice of Elder Gutknecht, the falling apart skeleton with the magic) and, in 2010, 'Alice in Wonderland' (voice of the Dodo).

Michael Gough leaves his wife Henrietta, his daughter Emma and sons Simon and Jasper.
His grandchildren Samuel and Daisy are also actors.

With Hartnell as teh Toymaker.
As the Toymaker, in color.
As the Doctor's friend and member of the Time Lord High Council, Hedin.



Screenings for the opening two-part story of Series Six of Doctor Who are now being arranged, and invitations have revealed the titles of those episodes to be The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon.

Those titles remind me of the 11th Doctor book I bought, "Apollo 23".
