Well, what a finish to Ten’s Era. I must say I really enjoyed it.

Don’t forget also that Army of Guests 4 tickets are now on sale at http://www.glasgowwho.co.uk/aog4.html so get buying if you want to be part of our first 2 day convention!
Oh, one more thing.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, today`s the day we `ve all been waiting for!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/misc/galleries/matt_and_karen_01

Not only do we get our first look at the 11the Doctor in costume, we also learn that Karen Gillan`s Character is called Amy Pond, there are some desert fatigues in the costume truck behind the two actors [possible future UNIT involvement?] and filming starts on Series Five TODAY!

Well, dunno about you lot but I discovered all this just about tennish in my local library [my own PC is on the blink] and rushed over to the Forum to post on my discovery - only to find that Uncle Alan had beaten me to it!

I dunno about the new look, a bit Troughton, a bit McCoy TV Movie.

But then I`m full of [hopefully unfounded] misgivings about Series Five so let`s just wait and see…

Taking a break from contacting everyone [all 168 of `em!] on OG who lists their location as Scotland, I popped across to Eye Of Horus, as you do. But only really for advance DVD reviews, the rest of the site is pretty dull and a bit hard to navigate to my mind..

And what do I find but a review for the upcoming 3-disc release of The War Games! Hooray! [in best RTD voice] I`ve pre-ordered mine from Play.com for £12.99!

Now I dunno about you lot, but I`m really looking forward to this release and not just for the usual canonicity reasons. I genuinely like it and even at ten episodes it doesn`t drag at all. OK, I must agree with Alan and admit that you could  watch episodes 1,2,9 & 10 and not really miss out on anything but the journey wouldn`t be nearly half as much fun!

Funny thing is, I`d been watching TWG for several eps before I realised that the bloke playing the War Chief was Mr Meeker from Rentaghost! Why does that actor recognition thing [see DWM 403 for details] only work one way - ie spotting actors from Who in other things and not actors from other things in Who?

Weird. Anyway, it`s a pretty good review and helpful if you`re swithering about whether to get this or Delta And The Bananamen with your pocket money. But if you like hunting for Easter Eggs, be warned that their content is described, though not their actual location on the three discs.

I don`t know about you, but I`m kinda ambivalent about spoilers.

Part of me wants to enjoy the episodes free of prior knowledge, the other part of me wants to know everything it can. I suppose it`s the actor in me, wanting a backstage pass.

Anyway, as far as David`s Final Story is concerned I really made an effort this time to stay spoiler-free and was doing quite well up until the point where RTD himself told us that Bernard Cribbins was in it.

I mean, the very man who warns us continually to avoid spoilers in DWM, goes and drops a huge one himself, without any prompting. I suppose he was so excited he couldn`t help himself, poor love.

Anyway, after that I gave up and now I don`t give a Bandril`s Bum about spoilers. It`s the same information, just a bit early that`s all.

So linked to below is something I found about five minutes ago [10.30am].

Now I don`t know what other people`s position is on spoilers [Barry, maybe we could clear that up?] so I don`t want to ruin anybody`s Christmas unless, like me, they`ve given up trying. For that reason, I`ve posted this here on the Blog instead of the Forum, on the assumption that less people will read it!

So, below is a link to a Spoiler for DT`s last story.

If you want to see it, click on it.

You have been warned!

Are you sure? Ok, here it is:

And remember, I did warn you!
