Lost in Translation: MTV’s Skins v the USA

As with Being Human and Coupling, Skins is just another British import our American-television industry has butchered, skinned (no pun intended) and watered-down into fizzled-blah. Yes, I know fizzled-blah isn’t a term, but it works.

The premiere of the US version was Monday January 17, 2011 on MTV and was met with no shortage of critics, naysayers and fans.

Much of which is still vastly apparent a week later, as the Parents Television Council continues to push [Read more...]

{Rules of PR no.38 } EGO: Be Careful What You Wish For #doctorwho #branding

The Doctor has returned to the TARDIS with some alien looking Aliens, a ginger and an appetite for custard.

In December 2009, I wrote Time Lord Victorious to 11th Doctor Who: Is Tennant Smart or Foolish? with curiosity looming high above me in Gallifrey proportions.

It’s been nearly four months and David Tennant [Read more...]

Countdown to the 11th DOCTOR WHOgasm [videos] #pr #advertising

via the BBC. Regeneration from 10th to 11th.

I’m.am.obsessed.
(Possibly on Harry Potter levels, but we’ll leave that up for debate)

I think we’ve realized this somewhere along the space and time continuum a few years back, that I really love this thing called Doctor Who and guess what Pink guys and dolls? Season 11 is coming! *yay!*

Okay, unless you’re a sci-fi fan, have some sort of anger towards David Tennant because you think he’s an idiot for leaving, pay attention to all things Barty Crouch Jr., and/or watch BBC America, I do not, by any stretch of the imagination, believe that this post is for you. :)

Matt Smith’s Doctor Who

So onwards to the TARDIS and the Season 5, 11th Doctor Clips:- [Read more...]

{ADbitious} BBC Releases NEW Doctor Who Logo, Plus Clip of Regeneration

via the BBC, episode "Journey's End"

Well, my little Whovians, you won’t be seeing double anytime soon because if you missed it the first time around (like I did), the BBC has come out with a new logo to usher in the era of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor.

Everyone knows the orange & black Doctor Who logo. It looks like this science fiction, all seeing eye, reminiscent of Sauron from Lord of the Rings. It’s also synonymous with the 10th Doctor.

Well, with the exit of David Tennant (have I told you how foolish I think David is? grr), Steve Moffat and the folks in the art department of the BBC have decided to really stay true to “out with the old and in with the new.”

Doctor Who & Torchwood: the Mini-Musical… sort of

via Oh No They Didn't!

via Oh No They Didn't!

Okay, this is just silly, endearing and rather cute. It will probably have no value to anyone unless they are a Doctor Who, David Tennant, John Barrowman, Torchwood or Proclaimers fan… or unless they just find this sort of stuff amusing.

If you are a Doctor Who fan, like I am, and you were a little sad and rather put into a foul mood because you think David Tennant is foolish for leaving the TARDIS, then umm this is for you :) [Read more...]

Goodbye Tennant, Hello Smith: Preview 11th Doctor Who

via the BBC. Regeneration from 10th to 11th.

Well folks, we’ve reached the end… the “End of Time” that is and the Doctor has officially left the TARDIS.

While, our friends across the pond witnessed David Tennant officially exit, the longest-running science-fiction television show in history, on New Years Day. The rest of us, in the US of A, don’t get to see Matt Smith regenerate to the 11th Doctor until tonight, January 2 at 8:00 p.m. on BBC America.

The BBC released stats stating that 10.4 million people watched Tennant’s exit as the Time Lord Victorious on New Year’s Day. According to their overnight stats, at the climax of the show 10.8 million were sitting down to view Matt Smith take the reigns of the Tardis.

whoa.

In sonic light of all of this, the BBC has finally released the preview for the new series of Doctor Who [Read more...]

Time Lord Victorious to 11th Doctor Who: Is Tennant Smart or Foolish?

**Updated – January 3, 2010 5:06 p.m. ET at end.**

“I’m really proud of what we’ve done. It’s difficult to step away from that. But at the same time, well, better to whilst I’m still loving it, better to leave them wanting more.”  – David Tennant (source)

The Doctor has left the TARDIS.

While, David Tennant’s definitive role as the Time Lord victorious on the BBC’s Doctor Who as the 10th regeneration was “impossibly fortunate,” is his departure from the show at the height of his (and its) popularity incredibly smart or worthy of getting him thrown out of the TARDIS forever?
