The Doctors... In Order

So I am going to try and put each Doctor in some kind of order from least favorite to favorite and give decent reasons why I feel this way.

Some will probably be joint on a spot, mainly because I don't really dislike any Doctor... I dislike stories and whole eras but not the actual Doctor themselves.

So in some sort of order...

Doctor Who Figurine Collection Issue 1

This morning I woke up to this....

What is it you ask? Well it is the Doctor Who Figurine Collection of course!

I subscribed last week (or the weekend before technically) and I'm a little behind as everyone got Issue's 2 and 3 last week and my Issue 1 has only just got here, but that isn't anything to worry about! 

So what is in the figurine collection?

Well Issue 1 has a Eleventh Doctor Figure, the magazine gives an explanation on the scene that they used to create the model (the Stonehenge speech), the Eleventh Doctors costume and how it came about as well as a two page spread on the year 1963.

So opinions?

I think the magazine and figure are worth the money, my Doctor kind of has hair problems which I am going to get in touch with the magazine about (the roots of his hair and the ends of it are painted flesh coloured) but other than that it is a BEAUTIFUL figure with a wonderful magazine.

Even though it is worth the money I do think the magazine is a tad of a let down, just not enough real info in there, a whole lot about the tweed but only flashes of a brilliant magazine in there.

By far my favourite bit is the double spread on 1963 full of wonderful bits of information about what was happening in '63 as well as what was going on in the Who world in '63. 

The mention of Iron Man was all I needed to get over excited!

The model itself came in a nice box, on the back of the box it seems to have the number of where the figure is in the collection and the nice photo of Matt at the bottom. Yes I'll probably keep the boxes as well as the figures as I just think it adds infinitely to the series! 

Very well thought out packaging indeed!

 The model also has its name on the base of the figure... Why I'm telling you this I don't know but thought it would be of interest!

Altogether it is great, I also get "free gifts" for signing up to the subscription though I didn't go for the premium subscription which was £1 and gave you 7 Daleks over the course of a few months, the only Dalek I was interested in within the collection was the Oswin Dalek, from the looks of it we will be getting PLENTY of Daleks and Cybermen in the months to come, the only downside of what looks to be quite a wonderful collection.

And now I know you'll want to see a close up of the figure itself right?

I really like it! As I said the hair line has been..... fleshed but it is a nice looking model all the same. It is only the hair line that annoys me the rest of the figure is actually very beautiful and well worth the money spent on it. 

And yeah that is Issue 1! I will probably have a similar blog about each and every one of the issues as I think it is worth looking at if you are a Doctor Who fan. 

Why Matt Smith DESERVES Christmas...

What? What does this mysterious title mean?!

Well what I mean by it is simple.

A lot of people who are fed up of Matt's time want him gone in the 50th. A few people who aren't fed up of him want him gone in the 50th.

They aren't being nasty about it (well one or two are) but they are determined they want that last crucial episode before we have to wait half a year or so for another be the 12th Doctors and not the 11th Doctors.

Personally?

Well you all know I love Matt but that isn't really the reason I want him to leave at Christmas.

Lets face it the 50th is an unknown BUT we DO know that DAVID TENNANT (one of the most iconic Doctors) is back and JOHN HURT (one of the greatest actors around) is in it. We know it is a blockbuster, we know it is going to be grand. And wouldn't a regeneration top it off?

No.

David Tennant WAS a popular Doctor who got TWO episodes to say goodbye in, even Christopher Eccleston didn't need to share his goodbye episode. Matt is a well loved Doctor and his fans deserve not to have his regeneration lopped onto the end of a action packed 90 minute (hopefully) episode full of David Tennant, Rose Tyler and John Hurt.

Now will I be angry if he regenerates in the 50th or at the beginning of Christmas?

Not really, I'm as excited as anyone to see what Capaldi will bring.

I'll be upset, a little disappointed and even more not ready to say goodbye to Matt. But I wouldn't go and burn down headquarters or throw away any Doctor Who merch I own.

I guess my real gripe is people so EAGER and forgetting what it is like to lose a Doctor. Maybe you didn't know your fav in the classic series was leaving, we know that Matt is and we don't want him to share his big goodbye with other people.

That might be selfish of us but to be honest.... We are allowed to be selfish. And we are allowed to be upset to see the end of our Doctor being shared with an assembled cast (so far announced, could be more) that will overshadow his departure.

Though I am torn.

It could be a great ending.........

We'll see what happens!

Tune in Sunday...

So the announcement of who will play the 12th Doctor is coming on Sunday evening!

I will be here to blog my opinion of whoever gets the role, as you can probably guess.

What am I looking for?

Someone who just makes the Doctor... the Doctor. Whoever it is in reality whether male/female or whatever will be alright as long as they play the character as the character. So if it is a "stunt" casting choice and the writers start writing it as such then I hope the actor at least doesn't play up to it.

Excited!

But also mighty upset that this is the moment where Matt leaving is so real!

Goodbye Doctor....

So it has officially been announced that Matt Smith is leaving as the Eleventh Doctor, the Twelfth Doctor won't be announced yet so we have months of speculation ahead.

What can I say about Matt as the Doctor?

In my line up of Doctors he's probably joint second with Patrick Troughton.

He has had my two favorite companions (Amy & Rory) and some of my all time favorite episodes (Vincent & the Doctor, The Girl Who Waited, The God Complex...) and met some of the most amazing people (Canton Everett Delawere III.)

As with all Doctors he was unique in his ways. Boy did I love his ways! His love of bow ties and strange hats, the importance of jammy dodgers...

Matt has been a totally wonderful Doctor just like all the Doctors that came before him. Even though some people like certain Doctors and dislike others they are always the Doctor.

Words probably can't be found to explain how sad this news makes me. I can't explain how much his Doctor has meant to me.

Thank you Matt, thank you for being a wonderful Doctor and good luck with your career. Whovians will always be grateful!

Doctor Who : The Name of the Doctor

Series 7 Finale

So who is Clara? What is the Doctors secret?

The episode is a lead in for the 50th anniversary story (coming to us Novermber 23rd) but with so many questions, so much to get through, what is the name of the Doctor?

***SPOILERS***

Let me introduce you to my fandom : Doctor Who

So the second of my blogs about my fandoms is another one you are all probably sick of hearing about. The wonderful mysterious world of Doctor Who.

The story of The Doctor has spread over TV, books and audio series and the history of the show is deep and confusing.

If you haven't traveled with the Doctor yet let me explain...

Doctor Who : Nightmare in Silver

This week Clara has been blackmailed into taking the two kids she's looking after on an adventure with the Doctor.

I'm sure this Neil Gaiman penned adventure will go well for them...

***SPOILER****

Doctor Who : Crimson Horror

Last week Clara had a tiny tour of the inside of the TARDIS, she also found out the "mystery" surrounding her and then..... Everything was restarted and she can't remember it.

What'll happen this week when they go back to Victorian England?

***SPOILER***

Doctor Who : Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS

Last week the Doctor helped save a test time traveler from a pocket universe whilst at the same time bringing two lovers together.... Or is that four lovers?

Not only that but the Doctor found out that the TARDIS and Clara doesn't get on....

What will happen this week when Clara gets to know the TARDIS a bit too personally?

***SPOILERS***

The British Uprising

So I was asked today about my view on the "take over" by British stars.

In other words Benendict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith and at times James McAvoy... Amongst a few others.

To be honest in my view it is very easy.

They are normal, down to earth, friendly, handsome, well spoken men. Add to that when they do get massive they are actually really shocked to think that they'd have fans as devoted and in love with them as we all are.

PLUS possibly the biggest plus is that they are all BRILLIANT actors. And I say that as someone who has only ever seen one thing with David Tennant in that I liked!

What isn't there to like?

Personally. Well I don't like Tennant much myself and am indifferent to McAvoy, I'd also exclude Matt because even though I like him his boom in America is purely for Doctor Who and even though I've seen a few bits here in the UK (on the BBC) that he has been in I don't know whether he'll "burst" into this scene like the others have.

So Benedict and Tom...

***DISCLAIMER : That is the major part of the blog all done and dusted up there ^__^ what happens down here V--V is basically me telling you why I personally think Benedict and Tom are wonderful making it worldwide. There isn't much more from what I said about all of them but I'm a huge fan of both Benedict and Tom***
