The Library Has Been Breached: Doctor Who Legacy’s Weekly Roll-Outs Commence!

Philip Bates is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

An exciting new chapter has been unveiled for Doctor Who: Legacy, the ever-popular game that launched just after Doctor Who‘s 50th anniversary!

Chapter 4 begins the final confrontation between the Master (plus his Toclafane), and the Doctor, a storyline that started in the Chapter 2 Epilogue, in March 2014, with the release of John Simm as the troublesome Time Lord. Since then, fans have battled his various incarnations as the Master tried to utilise the chaos unleashed by the Sontarans and Zygons in previous games – in the hope of bending time to his will!

The newest levels launched last night, but it’s just the start of Tiny Rebel Games’ and Seed Studio’s bigger plan: weekly content! Or in their own words:

“From here, our plan is to release story levels weekly (approximately 4 per week).  Our effort to replicate the experience of television with a weekly addition of story to look forward to.  Over the next couple of months you’ll see the battle for reality continue – as the web of time collapses around them, ripped apart by the paradoxes being created throughout time, the Doctors have vanished.

Starting [on 22nd April], and continuing for the next 2 weeks, Professor River Song (in the Doctor slot) will be leading our heroes as they make their way through the Library, as they search for Alison Docherty’s lost journal which they hope will give them the information they need to defeat the Master’s Toclafane army.”

You’ll remember Professor Docherty from Last of the Time Lord, in which she helped but ultimately betrayed Martha Jones. Jones fortunately forgave her, as the Master was holding her son as hostage.

Chapter 4 also adds further popular characters to Legacy including Donna Noble, River Song (obviously), Polly Wright, Jackson Lake (The Next Doctor), and Madame de Pompadour (The Girl in the Fireplace) – as well as more unannounced classic companions!

Expanding to include Big Finish, Titan Comics, and even George Mann’s War Doctor novel, Engines of War, Legacy shows no sign of slowing down. And that’s something everyone at K Towers is very thankful for!

Titan Comics’ Eleventh Doctor #4 – Reviewed!

Philip Bates is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

It’s hard to gauge The Eleventh Doctor#04. It’s a slightly uneven issue, but it’ll likely slot into place in a wider context.

The mysteries are all set up well, but this doesn’t feel like the first part of a new adventure. Instead, it’s got elements of a finale laced throughout – only four issues in. We revisit August Hurt, who we last met two issues ago, SERVEYOUInc once more are involved, and Alice Obiefune appears to want to go home.

It’s all a bit soon. Co-conspirators, Al Ewing and Rob Williams may only have a set number of issues in which to tell their tale, but nonetheless, we’re only at #4. I’d like another normal Monster of the Week story, without SERVEYOUInc’s involvement, before we’re even contemplating Alice’s last trip in the TARDIS.

Of course it’s a red herring, yet I can’t help but recall the announcements that Christopher Eccleston would be leaving Doctor Who, and after only debuting the previous week. Similarly, Alice feels like she’s only just joined the TARDIS, but unlike the Ninth Doctor, I’m struggling to invest in her character. She’s not had enough chance to breathe, to run, to save and be saved. To show herself.

The thing is, I do care about her; I do get her reasoning. The flashback scenes to when she was a child talking to her Mum perfectly emphasise this.

Maybe, then, this isn’t the finale (and I know it isn’t but you get my point); maybe this is the stop-gap. This is Amy Pond taking the Doctor back to her house to tell him she’s getting married in the morning.

The character development might not be your typical Who fare, but the plot, so far anyway, isn’t anything out of the ordinary. Not that I’m complaining. Whodunnit? toys with interesting notions, drawing some thoughts on comatose colonists. This is a murder mystery before the murder: Hart may think the patients are dead, describing them as vegetables, but the Doctor proves him wrong. In his words: “Imagine a hard drive. You move all your files off it, every single one, and suddenly your computer doesn’t work anymore. Nothing is wrong with the hardware. Just the information. Put it all back, and you’re fine.” (This issue is full of lovely lines; we already knew Al Ewing’s a big talent though, so it should come as no surprise.)

Putting new perspectives on things and forcing you to ask difficult questions is what Doctor Who does. And then there’s paranoia, hidden agendas, scheming, the military immediately being suspicious of the Doctor, and the TARDIS landing in the wrong place. Yep, this is typical Who.

And that’s just what this comic needs right now.

Indeed, it’s Doctor Who, but not quite as we know it. Because, I’m afraid to say, the art lets the solid storytelling down. No, that’s not fair. Boo Cook is a great artist. He is. I’ve seen him sketch out some Elephantmen work at a comic con, and he’s good. And his pages in Whodunnit? are good too. Sadly, however, his Eleventh Doctor doesn’t look like that bow-tie-wearing alien. He has the elements of the Time Lord – tweed, braces, floppy hair; the “cool gear”, as the Doctor described it – and as such, you recognise him. But his face is wrong. So too his mannerisms, his hands, the way he handles the sonic screwdriver. He doesn’t have a range of expressions either. Angry, sad, happy: there doesn’t seem to be much middle ground.

New companion, Jones, who the Doctor picked up last issue, fares better. Admittedly, he keeps pretty much the same dreamily dim look on his face throughout, but that’s what he’s meant to be. It works. He’s not supposed to be as animated as the Doctor.

Matt Smith’s Doctor is surprisingly hard to capture though: his gestures seem huge, but there are so many smaller details, hidden layers, that are a challenge to comic artists. And no one at Titan has correctly depicted him as yet.

Cook’s art is consistent, though, and the final page is awesome. In fact – minor spoiler alert – it’s the coolest monster design of the series. And from what I gather, we’ll be seeing a lot more of ARC…

The Eleventh Doctor #04 may be an uneven comic, but I’m certain this will all smooth itself out, given time. And time is Doctor Who‘s speciality.

Lethbridge-Stewart: The Schizoid Earth Cover Art Revealed

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Candy Jar Books has released the cover for Lethbridge-Stewart: The Schizoid Earth by David A McIntee due to be released in June.McIntee has written novels for Star Trek, Final Destination and Space: 1999 and over fifteen books and audio dramas for Doctor Who since 1993, including the Brigadier-centric novel, The Face of the Enemy.

So, what is The Schizoid Earth all about?

Lethbridge-Stewart was supposed to be in the mountains of the east. Things didn’t quite go according to plan.

On the eve of war, something appeared in the sky; a presence that blotted out the moon. Now it has returned, and no battle plan can survive first contact with this enemy.

Plagued by nightmares of being trapped in a past that never happened, Lethbridge-Stewart must unravel the mystery of a man ten years out of his time; a man who cannot possibly still exist. Why do the ghosts of fallen soldiers still fight long-forgotten battles against living men? What is the secret of the rural English town of Deepdene? Lethbridge-Stewart has good reason to doubt his own sanity, but is he suffering illness or injury, or is something more sinister going on?

David says: “To be honest it (the series) is something I’m amazed hasn’t been done before – it’s just such a natural and obvious thing. The form it’s taking is also cool because it has the flexibility to move between styles and genres – thriller, SF, horror, etc – while maintaining a definite identity. As for the Brig himself, he’s one of those characters where the casting was so perfect that it just made the character so memorable, and who (usually) feels so right.”

The cover art is by Nathan Hudson, who works for Cosgrove Hall as a background artist. Cosgrove Hall is the animation company who produced the animated episodes for the DVD release of the 1969 Doctor Who adventure The Invasion, which featured Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and the first appearance of UNIT. Nathan has worked previously with Candy Jar Books as the cover artist for the runaway time travel hit Tommy Parker: Destiny Will Find You and the acclaimed See You in September.

The Schizoid Earth also features an exclusive foreword written by Amanda Haisman, daughter of Lethbridge-Stewart creator Mervyn Haisman, in which she publically talks about her father and the legend he created for Doctor Who. You can order The Schizoid Earth now, direct from Candy Jar Books for just £8.99, or get all four books in the series for £35.

Rubbertoe Replicas: The History of the Time War Plaque

Philip Bates is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Rubbertoe Replicas are responsible for some pretty darn cool stuff, and their Doctor Who collection has just had an interesting, unexpected addition: the plaque from The History of the Time War, a book that appeared in Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS (2013)!

Clara discovers the book resting on its own special plinth in the TARDIS’ extensive library – and in one tiny corner, it even states the Doctor’s real name. Fortunately, she forgot it when time was rewritten, thanks to a Big Friendly Button.

Rubbertoe’s plaque is made from polyurethane resin filled with brass powder, and measures 171 x 100 x 5mm. It was created as a true-to-life replica from the original CAD files, meaning you get some beautiful Gallifreyan, topped off with a couple of Seals of Rassilon. It doesn’t come with the book – that would take quite some, uhm, time to write – but you can choose whether to have it backed with double-sided sticky tape (so you can stick it to a book of your own design) or black felt, so you can use it as a *shudder* coaster or, more likely, just for decoration.

It costs just £26.99 plus VAT and p&p, but it also depends on the backing you’re after. We’re not quite sure whether you’ll be able to get them at Forbidden Planet, but many of their other items are; it might be worth checking at your local branch.

Other products from Rubbertoe include the ‘Siege Mode’ TARDIS from Flatline, Gallifreyan coasters, and River Song’s Squareness Gun (from Forest of the Dead). Matt Smith is My Doctor, so I’m personally very happy with the TARDIS Type 40 plaque, a replica of the sign found on the Eleventh Doctor’s first console.

And if this is the sort of thing you’re interested in, check out our Associate Editor, Brian’s impressive prop collection. Of Rubbertoe’s Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor’s sonic screwdriver, he said, “It’s safe to say that the 9 year old me would be ecstatic right now and I can say that with 100% certainty because I don’t think I ever grew up enough to feel any differently today.”

Doctor Who In Upcoming LEGO Dimensions Toys-to-Life Game?

Philip Bates is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Lego! It’s big. Well, I mean, obviously it’s small initially, but those bricks are conquering the world. Lego is immensely popular and most people don’t even realise it. Add games and a hit movie to the mix and the Lego empire is building. God help anyone who treads on it.

But why should you care? This is a Doctor Who site! You care about Time Lords. Fair enough. Lego cares about Doctor Who too. That’s why they’re working on Doctor Who sets, perfect for Whovians young and old – and middle-aged, and ancient!

Earlier this month, the bright people behind Lego announced Lego Dimensions, a game to rival Skylanders and Disney Infinity, which, in case you didn’t know, combine physical action figure (ish) things with video games. Lego Dimensions is a huge starter’s pack (with varying RRPs depending on the console) with further expansion packs available, combining much-loved franchises like Lord of the Rings, DC Comics, Back to the Future, and – well, you can probably guess another.

It looks as if Doctor Who will feature in Lego Dimensions!

With details few and far between, there’s only a trailer and an image of the starter pack. Family GamerTV has taken a close look and figured out a tonne of figures from the first four waves. And nestled alongside Homer Simpsons, Chell from Portal, and the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz, they think, is the Doctor!

Lego Dimensions will likely launch on 29th September for Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PS3. Creative director, Jon Burton said:

“Now for the first time in a video game, Lego fans can play in the virtual world and in the real world – combining everything without restrictions. Imagine putting LEGO Gollum from The Lord of the Rings behind the wheel of the LEGO Delorean in New Ninjago City – the creative play is endless.”

The starter pack is expected to retail at $99.99 (£67), and will further include a Toy Pad, Batmobile vehicle, and enough bricks to build a gateway (part of the toys-to-life game).

I’m pretty sure the Doctor could outmaneuver everyone from the other franchises. Apart from Bart Simpson. Let’s not go mental here.

Moffat Undermined? Leaked Emails Prove Doctor Who Movie Plans

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Remember last year when Sony Pictures was hacked and several movies leaked? Well, it seems that among the emails leaked was communication between BBC boss Danny Cohen and a contact at Sony, concerning the future of Doctor Who and the possible development of a movie…

These leaked emails have now been uploaded to a searchable database on Wikileaks, with founder Julian Assange noting that the messages ‘show the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation’ in his argument that they should be in the public domain.

In January 2014, an email from Andrea Wong, president of International Production for Sony, to the company’s chief executive Michael Lynton, outlined the proposal for a Doctor Who movie, following communication from Director of BBC Television, Danny Cohen.

“He (Cohen) said that while there has been tremendous interest (and pressure from BBCWW) (BBC Worldwide) to do a Dr Who film, the show runners feel very clear that they don’t want to do one at this moment. That said, over the course of the coming months, the show running team is coming up with an 8 year timeline for the brand – laying out all that will happen with it.

“He says that a film will certainly be a part of that timeline. So the answer is that a film won’t happen in the next year to 18 months, but it is expected that it will happen after that within the 8 year horizon.’”

Naturally, Lynton was encouraged by this, observing that “Sounds like we need to meet with the show runners.”

What happens next, however, reveals resistance from the production team at BBC Wales. A later email from Wong says: “Spoke to Danny and he doesn’t think it makes sense right now and actually might hurt our cause.

“The creative team on the show have been having the movie conversation with BBC Worldwide in recent weeks and are very hot under the collar that their position on it is not being listened to or accepted.”

We can assume that the production team’s position is along the lines of that outlined by Moffat recently. Incidentally, you can read the emails right here.

What do you think? Would a Sony Pictures-produced Doctor Who movie interest you, or should the show remain on TV, a medium whose stock is rising as shows like Game of Thrones prove how cinematic the erstwhile small screen can really be?

Exclusive Interview: Tenth Doctor Comic Writer, Nick Abadzis!

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Titan Comics have been taking the Tenth Doctor on new adventures for almost a year now, so we caught up with scriptwriter Nick Abadzis to find out how he feels about this milestone, and what’s in store for the David Tennant-resembling version of our favourite Time Lord in Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor.

K: The series is gathering pace towards the 12th issue mark. Do you have any plans for a celebratory issue?

NICK: We publish fifteen issues a year, so #15 is the big finale. In terms of it being a celebration – I’m not sure that it will be for the Doctor, Gabby and their friends! But it’ll certainly be something memorable, you can count on that.

K: You must have been working on the series for over a year, from script to page. How has this time with the Tenth Doctor changed your attitude towards him?

NICK: Yes, #14 and #15 (which I’m writing now) mark almost the end of a year and half of working on these Doctor Who comics and I still feel like I’m only just getting started. Still got a lot of ideas to play out. I’ve got to know the Tenth Doctor better, but I’m not sure my attitude to him has changed exactly – I probably like him even more than I did before.

Writing him is a mixture of intentions and feelings – it’s a privilege to write Doctor Who, a childhood dream come true, and it’s also a reason to delve into what you hope are the very best parts of yourself and bring these to the characterisation. Equally, the Doctor’s no angel, not exactly, so you bring all the mysterious aspects and hints of darkness to it too. It’s all wrapped up in what I hope is a good, Tennant-like delivery. Part of that “performance” is dependent on Elena’s Casagrande’s fine artwork, of course, so it’s a collaboration.

K: What scope do you have for taking the Doctor on new adventures and in new directions? Are you tied to the tone of the TV show?

NICK: Yes and no. We want to recapture some of the essential spirit of the Tenth Doctor’s era, certainly – I think that’s important. It’s a beloved period of the show, so it does set a standard and you take that as a starting point. But we can riff on that, go in all sorts of unexpected directions, and we’ve got a certain latitude to do that. You have to respect what’s gone before, absolutely, but you want to keep things interesting and unexpected for the reader – we want them to have as much fun as we all do, working on this.

K: Set shortly after the events of The Stolen Earth/ Journey’s End, the comic has paired the Time Lord with a new companion, Gabby Gonzalez.  Where do you start from when creating a new companion? How do you make her sufficiently different, yet interesting?

NICK: I strive to make all the characters I write quirky but credible. A lot of what drives Doctor Who these days (on TV and all spin-off media) is good, involving characterisation – that’s always what appeals to me whether it’s TV, movies, comics or books. It’s about whether you, the reader, care about the characters. So I attempt to imbue a companion with something that will make him or her appealing, yet credible as a travelling companion of the Doctor’s. It’s not just picking a set of characteristics though; it’s about making a character come alive with the words you give them, making their behaviour recognisable, believable.

K: Which is best, creating a new companion, or a new enemy?

NICK: It’s a different set of requirements. Companions have to work long-term; they’re in every adventure along with the Doctor so they have to be fully-fleshed out.

A new enemy has to be believable too – their motivations, their physical and mental traits, their reasons for doing what they do. But you can of course, get a bit more fantastical – this is Doctor Who, after all. As long as they’re threatening , every enemy can have very different motivations from each other – some might believe that what they’re doing is right and have quite a complex morality, some might just be straightforwadly evil, some might be driven by revenge or some other emotion. So, slightly different disciplines, but both elements that it’s necessary to get right and weave together with all the others to create good Doctor Who.

And The Tenth Doctor series is certainly good Doctor Who! Thanks very much, Nick.

Revolutions of Terror, a graphic novel collecting together the first five issues, is out now. The Tenth Doctor  #9 is out now, written by Robbie Morrison, but Abadzis picks up the reins again with next month’s Free Comic Book Day Doctor Who comic, available from 2nd May at participating stores.

Find Out More About the Doctor Who College Course

Jonathan Appleton is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

“No talking at the back!”

Ah, school days, eh? Whether the memory of your time in the education system fills you with a warm nostalgic glow or makes you break out in a feverish sweat, we all remember those days of horrendous uniforms, inedible dinners and teachers chucking chalk at you when you weren’t listening (okay, it was a while since I was at school, I admit…).

But a lucky group of fans have recently re-entered the world of life-enhancing learning with the first ever (probably) college course based on Doctor Who! Michael Herbert is the man in charge for the eleven-week programme at Stockport’s Aquinas College, where the syllabus includes watching classic episodes and discussing how the show was made. And best of all, you don’t even have to write any essays…

“It’s not too academic, it’s more a gentle study really,” says Michael, who is clearly my kind of teacher. “There’s no exams, there’s no certificate, it’s a course to follow for pleasure to help people learn more about it.”

Not that there’s any time for slacking, mind you. There are twelve Doctors to get through in eleven weeks, which means Colin Baker and Paul McGann get ‘slightly less attention’. Hmmm, sounds like there won’t be time to get into the Big Finish audios, everyone…

Things have already got underway in Stockport, with a modest-but-promising turnout of four students for the first week (think of it as a solid base to build on, Michael) although it sounds like there’s a couple of smarty-pants among them:

“It went well, they all knew a lot. Some of them knew about as much as me, but that’s OK, I was able to look into it in perhaps more depth. I was hoping perhaps people who didn’t know that much would come along – new-Whoers – but that’s OK. There was one young man who started watching with Matt Smith. Everyone has done their homework already, they all know the episodes inside out.”

Michael is clearly a man who knows his stuff when it comes to Doctor Who, having written the intriguing-sounding Doctor Who and the Communist pamphlet on classic series writer Malcolm Hulke and was good enough to chat to our podKasters recently. He’s hoping a bit of media attention will prompt more students to come on board for week two (the Patrick Troughton years, presumably?) so if you’re in the area get yourself along!
