EARTH DOESN’T EXPLODE, UN SEC GEN THANKS TORCHWOOD
\n<\/strong>No? Well, maybe in six months, given it’s off-line for the moment. It’s bound to happen.
\nGood old Torchwood Cardiff.<\/p>\n

MCGANN NOT RETURNING
\n<\/strong>Everybody get back to your work. Sigh.<\/p>\n

COME BACK, RETURN OF THE CYBERMEN<\/em>!
\n<\/strong>Spoilers for Christmas. Or not. Obviously it was a big dilemma for RTD regarding whether to finsh the over-length Journey’s End<\/em> on the now de rigeur ‘what-what-what’ spot and undermine the fanw<\/span> sadness with a teaser for the next ka-rayzey yuletide romp. So a trailer, without the story title proper was made. Now we know the title, have an idea of what the story’s likely to be based on<\/span> about, and we’ve even got a picture of the removed scene. But are we any happier? Eh? I ask you.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

OH GREAT, NOW HE’LL GET TO DO THAT ALONS-Y THING ALL OVER AGAIN…
\n<\/strong>Is Russell T Ovey, aka Midshipman Frame in the frame to play the Doctor? A clue: no.
\nStill, sells newspapers, right guys?<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEAVE SYLVESTER ALONE!<\/strong>I
\nIt must be a very slow day in the Tolkien sandpit when they all start talking about a ten year old story added to a year-old even and make an insta-theory. Add to that speculation based on twenty-year old photos (ooh – he does look like Ian Holm! In Ghostlight<\/em>) and you get the same sort of high hoping that gave us all McGann conniptions last month? Will the next Hobbit<\/em> movie have a Syl-bo as its lead? A clue… no.<\/p>\n

TARDIS MONEYBANK BAFFLES BLOGGER

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The TARDIS Moneybank is sheer genius fun. I’d have loved one when I were a kid but microchips were still the size of houses back then, and I’ve had never have filled the money box with the cash I had. Eee we were poor.<\/p>\n

Anyway, for all the Martha-rasping, top-lamp flashing, cash-injecting Vwoorp-vwoorp action you can muster, this’ll do. And it’s to scale with those knock-off figures you got from the warehouse – at last, a home for Space Pig and Chip! but there are problems with bits of it, and I’m not just talking about how the sample of the Doctor sounds like he’s saying the machine stands for ‘Time And Relative Dimensions In Spayn’ (the wag) like this…<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rose? She’s in there too?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You think I’m going to bit the top of my money box? What, am I trying to get in to find Rose or something? I give up!<\/p>\n

AND FINALLY…
\n<\/strong>Some people thought ‘Handlebars’ was a doff too far, apparently. Davies Master Plan? Phssh. What would Brian Boitano do<\/a>? (hat tip: Dave)<\/p>\n
