It’s odd that when you throw your mind back into the annuls of Doctor Who mythology and memories, certain monsters or characters or settings stand out more than others. Your Krynoids, Count Scarlionis and Arcs in space all sit embedded in the Doctor Who consciousness. And then there’s a race such as the Exxilons. A one-off creation from the late days of the Third Doctor’s tenure in the TARDIS. Whilst the city of the Exxilons was indeed an impressive one, its people were not that distinguishable from other civilisations created for the show. Although fun was had when the Doctor and the Daleks visited the impressive City of the Exxilons, a return exploration of its people was not needed.

Enter the first story for the new run of Fourth Doctor Adventures, The Exxilons. It should fall flat in its stride; it should be a tale that arouses no interest as it serves as a sequel that was not required. Yet somehow, rather wonderfully, writer Nicholas Briggs has crafted a simple enough tale to keep the listener engaged. Add in the usual fun and games being had by Baker and Jameson as well as a rather over-the-top but wonderfully digestible guest performance by Hugh Ross and you’ve got in your hands, an enjoyable and easy start to this years’ run of Fourth Doctor tales.

The ingredients do not bode well for our intrepid TARDIS team: the synopsis contains (on a personal level anyway) some of the staple ingredients for a Doctor Who setting that don’t do enough to pull the listener in. An uninspiring planet, two tribes at one another’s throats on the brink of all-out war and the Doctor, Leela and K9 stuck in the middle desperately trying to mediate the situation. Once again, this should be one of stories that fails to ignite a spark in the listener and yet there’s something about the whole fifty minutes, some charm and wit and sparkle that keeps one engaged until the very end. Maybe it’s the spot-on incidental music by Alistair Lock which is, quite frankly, scarily true to its 1970s source material. Maybe its shimmering, waif-like chime of the electronic bells that goes hand in hand with the City of the Exxilons that helps to bring a smile to the listeners face as the story speeds by. Whatever it is, it works.

Is this an essential purchase? Probably not, but it’s a strong and interesting start to a brand new series of Fourth Doctor stories. It doesn’t pretend to be overly clever, it doesn’t try to twist in time and put pay to the future by interfering with the past. Instead it’s honest, fun, straightforward and steady – exactly how you want to start the year off to get new and old listeners on board.

The Exxilons is available on CD or via download from Big Finish now.

News from Denmark: Lego Doctor Who Set Chosen!

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.

The lady above is Signe. She works for Lego, and she has news about two upcoming Lego Ideas kits, one of which might just have something to do with Doctor Who…

As we hinted earlier this week, the Lego review team has been looking favourably at a couple of fan submissions, and along with a new Wall-E kit (designed by one of the animators from the popular Pixar movie), a “Doctor Who & Companions” set has been approved!

This was designed by Andrew Clarke, who submitted the set, with an out-folding TARDIS, through the Cuusoo project system in 2014…

Beyond that excellent demonstration, a review of the submission will reveal ideas like packaging two Doctors, one older and one more recent (the same for companions), a Weeping Angel, a Cyberman and a Dalek (pending licence) as well as K9 and – rather excellent, we should add – a TARDIS sound block!

We’d like to say well done to Andrew, and a big thank you to the Lego reviewers for giving fans what we have wanted for a very, VERY long time.

So, when is the Lego Doctor Who video game coming out?

Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill at Walker Stalker Con

Rebecca Crockett 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.

Did you know there was a mini Doctor Who reunion this past weekend in San Francisco? Well, there was! At an event titled “Night Of The Doctor” connected to the Walker Stalker convention, Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill sat down for a q&a session.

Topics covered included what  they are working on now (as well as appearing on British TV in the second series of Broadchurch, Darvill is in a play, Gillan will be in a western with John Travolta, and Smith will be seen in Terminator Genisys as well as Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies), what the best part of being on Doctor Who was (Karen said it was running from monsters and aliens on spaceships), who would survive the longest in a zombie apocalypse (Matt very quickly answers Me!) and what their first day on set was like.

Also, something about cheeses…

The video is a bit long and the sound isn’t the best at certain points but it’s worth a listen. It’s great to see the three of them together again, still laughing with each other and joking around, especially since they haven’t been together like this in some time. If you’d like a specific moment to skip to, head to around the 21:00 mark to hear the trio’s version of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Karen also documented the day with some tweets. Apparently she and Matt shared a plane ride to San Francisco.

This, Eccleston haters, is going to screw up your worldview so much that I doubt you’ll even be able to sleep tonight. You’ll be conflicted; you’ll realise finally that actually, you know nothing, and have understood less, about why Christopher Eccleston left Doctor Who, and his feelings about fans.

All you have to do is hit play above, and see how the actor quite happily helped out some fans he only just met to spring a surprise wedding proposal.

THIS is a nice guy. THIS is a fellow who took time out of his own personal, social time with his partner to help out some Doctor Who fans. THIS is the Doctor.

We ain’t gonna tell you how you should feel about this. You tell us…

Learning To Code With the Doctor, a Dalek and Your Tablet

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.

The BBC’s free Doctor Who game which aims to give young gamers a taste of coding skills alongside their enjoyment of time travelling action has launched on iOS and Android.

The Doctor and the Dalek, in which the Twelfth Doctor forms an unholy alliance with one of Skaro’s dreaded motorised killers to serve the greater good by destroying weapons of mass destruction, can now be enjoyed by iPad, Android and Amazon tablet owners. The game, which features the voice of Peter Capaldi, has had four new levels added to mark the launch.

As we reported back in October, The Doctor and the Dalek is firmly aimed at a young audience and ties in with the computing curriculum, with downloadable resources available for teachers to supplement lessons. We imagine there will be some Who-savvy IT teachers out there who think they must have died and gone to heaven…

The release on in tablet form is apparently in response to public demand, as BBC Doctor Who Interactive’s Jo Pearce explained:

“The overriding request was for a tablet version. The new levels with our updated resources from BBC Learning allow children to take their skills a little further… and help the Doctor save the universe.”

It seems the game is restricted to UK users, and for now at least there is no version for mobiles ‘due to the screen size needed for programming your Dalek’.

Have you had a go at The Doctor and the Dalek yet? Let us know what you think!

Another Chance To Grab the Day of Doctor Who Collectible Artwork!

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.

Around 12 months ago, you may have seen mention here or elsewhere on the web of “The Day of Doctor Who”, the fifth anniversary story of our favourite TV show, commemorated with the superb artwork you can see above by Vworp Vworp! designer Colin Brockhurst.

This quirky collection, which features an ‘imaginary’Radio Times cover for November 23-29 and an ‘autographed’ BBC picture of Peter Cushing, is probably the most original example of Doctor Who merchandise ever.

Mostly, you’ve probably guessed, because it’s all completely and utterly fake!

Issued by Brockhurst as a limited run, Colin has been in touch over the weekend to tell us that he has had another run produced, available to order via his website for £19.99 plus shipping (worldwide postage available).

It is very difficult to pick a highlight but the fake telesnaps, complete with reproduction John Cura envelope, will have you pining for this anniversary special that somehow never happened, although you’ll have no trouble convining non-fans that it actually did. After all, who could doubt an adventure where the First Doctor flirted with Queen Elizabeth I, the Second Doctor met not one but two Colonel Lethbridge-Stewarts, and the original ‘War Doctor’ came to their aid to face the dreaded Daleks and Chameleons.

Now, we don’t know if Colin will issue a third run (and no profit is made here, any extra is ploughed into future projects), so don’t miss this chance to order your “Day of Doctor Who” memorabilia!

Fantastic: The Genesis of the TARDIS Console Room & Interior

Nick May 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.

“I often felt they didn’t really pursue the cosmically funny aspect of the TARDIS being bigger on the inside than on the outside… It would be amazing to go into the TARDIS and for the assistant to say ‘My God Doctor, look there are thousands of sheep there’… Why isn’t a world shown, instead of waving it away with some facetious, smart arsed remark?”

Tom Baker, DWM 180, 1991

Possibly the greatest unsung hero of Doctor Who in either of its tenures is the TARDIS set. This article aims to pay tribute to the groundbreaking work of Peter Brachacki in giving form to that still-breathtaking moment when Barbara and Ian force their way past the Doctor to rescue Susan from inside…

…inside what? It isn’t a police box. Today, the word ‘TARDIS’ has come to describe something deceptively large, even to non-fans. Back in 1963, the first sight of the glowing, ultra-modern control room was so unexpected that they had to repeat the first episode so people could get their heads round it.

The modern TARDIS set is a huge industrial beast with massive stanchions, inspection covers and split levels, its instrumentation a cobbled-together mass of what works from a plethora of ages and worlds as the Doctor struggles to keep it working. The early 1960s set had that same feeling of space and eclecticism; the vast control room with its roundels and occasional Perspex walls glowing with light, dotted with antique chairs, Ormolu clocks and old wooden chests. True, the large hexagonal thing that originally hung down from the ceiling may nearly have crushed a couple of people, but it looked great while it lasted. The Daleks, The Edge of Destruction and The Web Planet all took us off into the corridors and, in the case of the latter, the side rooms and alcoves that had sprung up just off the main control room (an early take on the re-skinning mentioned in Time Crash?) and remind us that ‘the Ship’ (as it was then) is somewhere that people live.

As the decade wore on, the TARDIS became less pivotal to the stories and, by the Troughton era, was literally a vehicle to put the Doctor and friends in the middle of the action. Almost symbolically, the TARDIS interior shrinks to cover these more basic requirements- think of The Moonbase or The Seeds of Death, where the crew gather round the console, look at the screen and then go outside. There are exceptions though – Tomb of the Cybermen treats us to a moodily filmed, echoing TARDIS that almost presages the modern era. The Mind Robber shows us the Power Room, and The War Games Episode Ten allows us a final glimpse of the original console room set in all its scale.

The early Seventies saw the Third Doctor exiled to Earth and shacked up with UNIT, unable to use the TARDIS. In many of the early Pertwee stories, the console is set out in the Doctor’s lab, up to Day of the Daleks, creating a kind of ‘substitute’ TARDIS for the Earthbound Doctor.

When the TARDIS gets to feature in the Third Doctor years, it’s back on a scale akin to the original set. Colony in Space and The Three Doctors both sport a sizeable console room, but the eclectic mix of ephemera is missing, replaced by more gadgetry, due in no small part to Jon Pertwee’s love of tech.

Between these two, though, is the strange ‘soup bowl’ design created by Tim Gleeson for The Time Monster. It’s very much of its time, a kitsch creation from the decade the taste forgot. It’s a triumph of form over function, without a scanner and no obvious access to the rest of the ship. Perhaps the Doctor had got used to the stylistic excesses of the early Seventies and redesigned it accordingly. What if he’d gone further? A paisley TARDIS – imagine that…

Bidmead’s notion of being able to reconfigure the TARDIS and actually delete rooms is the forerunner of some of the ideas in the modern series.

The Tom Baker era sees the TARDIS interior being downsized once more. While the ship does feature regularly in his stories, more so than in the Third Doctor’s tenure, the general feeling is that it’s just kind of ‘there’ for the majority of the mid-to-late Seventies.

That said, change was afoot in Season Fourteen when the Doctor and Sarah Jane uncover the secondary control room in The Masque of Mandragora. A radical departure from the traditional ‘look’ of the TARDIS, with stained-glass roundels and wooden panels surrounding a plinth with the bureau-style console, the new design perfectly suits the gothic tone of the Hinchcliffe/Holmes stories. However, it wasn’t universally loved and by The Invisible Enemy, it’s back to the ‘main’ control room again, and the ship beyond is forgotten. Well, nearly: for then there was The Invasion of Time…

Having rattled off four episodes in short order to fill a hole in the production schedule, producer Graham Williams and script editor Anthony Read hit a creative brick wall. They plumped for a shock appearance by the Sontarans and two episodes of running around the TARDIS. We get to see the sick bay, the swimming pool and an engine room disguised as an art gallery (debatably the fags, coffee and lack of sleep may have kicked in at this point), with the corridors of a disused mental hospital filling in for the depths of the TARDIS. It’s a creative response to some practical problems in the production that possibly lost something in the execution. With a bit more planning, it’s something I’d love to see tried again in the future, just not written by Steve Thompson.

It’s not until Season Eighteen that the TARDIS again becomes of more interest to the production team. For ‘interest’, read ‘fixation’. Script editor and writer Christopher H Bidmead’s love of maths and physics was never going to make for interesting telly, but the notion of being able to reconfigure the TARDIS and actually delete rooms is the forerunner of some of the ideas in the modern series.

Who in the Eighties had a ‘back to basics’ feel, with a larger regular cast and direct continuity between stories for the first time since the Sixties. There’s also more notion of the TARDIS as somewhere people live between adventures. We see the companions’ living quarters and more functional spaces like the Cloister and Zero Rooms. These last two serve to remind us that the Doctor isn’t human and that the TARDIS wasn’t designed specifically for him. The Cloister Room isn’t obviously in keeping with the Doctor’s needs, but it could suit someone.

The Eighties interior is very much a product of its time. There’s a lot of wicker and chrome in people’s bedrooms and a BBC Micro or two built into the console. It’s the most consistent incarnation of the TARDIS, though, staying largely unchanged from The Five Doctors right the way through to The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. Sadly, the writing was on the wall for the show at that point and the set was scrapped, save for a single wall-flat sparingly lit behind Sylvester McCoy at the start of Battlefield, when it was clear that it wasn’t just the show’s props destined for the scrap heap.

Let’s not forget the two attempts to revive the show between 1989 and 2005. Arguably the best part of either of them was seeing the TARDIS. It was the TV Movie’s sole redeeming feature (apart from Paul McGann himself), a huge towering mansion-like space built round a central console that was suspended from the ceiling! How exciting was that? The Heath Robinson-esque use of brass and old technology was totally in keeping with the pseudo-Edwardian vibe associated with the Doctor. The bats were a bit silly, though.

2003’s Scream of the Shalka only shows the TARDIS very sparingly. What we do see is intriguing- the twin spiral staircases around the console are a nice touch, as is the lift. They create a notion of places off-screen, not just through doors but also on other levels. After all, now there’s this huge console that goes all the way up to the ceiling, how else are you going to fix it? Like Shalka as a whole, it’s visually diverting if nothing else.

A couple of years later, fortunately, we got the series ‘proper’ back. I remember approaching the new TARDIS design with some apprehension after Russell T Davies’ description of it as ‘more organic’ and ‘like a VW camper van’. Fortunately, it looked like neither, though the orange glow took some getting used to. The space, and idea of further space beyond, from the two false starts had been preserved, combined with some of the gloom of the secondary control room. The design feels like a nod to the idea of the Doctor being the last of the Time Lords, making do and mending as he travels the universe to get over his experiences in the Time War.

The real life ‘make do and mend’ culture caused by the financial crash of 2007/8 doesn’t appear to extend to the Doctor. In the era of austerity, he’s had not one but two upgrades to the TARDIS, with the latest being the closest to merging the designs of the classic and modern eras. The TARDIS is once again a futuristic ship hidden inside a battered old police box. There are walkways and gantries leading off- and under- the console room, which is recessed to under the level of the doors. The blue light gives off a coldness that hints at technology but also underscores the Twelfth Doctor’s distance from humanity. This isn’t necessarily meant to be a welcoming space. It’s his space – and you’re standing in it.

So what next? As fans, we’ve all secretly waited for that phone call to say that, owing to a freak accident having rendered the world’s proper actors incapable of doing so, we’ve been chosen to be the next Doctor. We all know what costume we’d wear, but what would your TARDIS be like? Jon Pertwee wanted gadgets. Tom Baker would’ve liked several hundred head of sheep and a cathedral town to put some boots in. Personally, I’d like a contoured Art Deco effort with lots of veneered panels, bookshelves and the odd sculpture, surrounding a Fritz Lang-inspired steampunk console. Oh, and a couple of old-style cage lifts. It’s never going to happen, but as long as we have writers with strong ideas working alongside designers with vision, the TARDIS interior will continue to be one of the jewels in the series’ crown.

Feel free to share your TARDIS interior redesign ideas…

This Saturday: The History Collection Authors Book Signing!

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.

Heard about Doctor Who: The History Collection? It’s another group of republished books from the Doctor Who range of original novels that began back in 1991 when Virgin Books had the licence.

Following the UK success of the TV Movie starring Paul McGann in 1996, the range moved to BBC Books where it has continued ever since. This Saturday, 7th February at 1pm, David Bishop, James Goss, Justin Richards and Paul Cornell will be attending the legendary Forbidden Planet Megastore on London’s Shaftesbury Avenue where they will be signing copies of Amorality Tale, Dead of Winter, Shadow in the Glass and, of course, Human Nature (the original Seventh Doctor novel, not the Tenth Doctor two parter).

The synopses are below. If you’re unable to attend, signed copies can be ordered using the corresponding links.

In David Bishop’s Amorality Tale , the Third Doctor and his companion Sarah Jane Smith land in 1950’s London. When gangster Tommy Ramsey is released from prison, he is determined to retake control of his East End territory. But new arrivals threaten his grip on illegal activity in the area. An evangelical minister is persuading people to seek redemption for their sins. A new gang is claiming the streets. And a watch mender called Smith is leading a revolt against the Ramsey Mob’s protection racket. When Tommy strikes back at his enemies, a far more terrifying threat is revealed.

Dead of Winter features the Eleventh Doctor in an Eighteenth Century Italian adventure. In a remote clinic in 18th century Italy, a lonely girl writes to her mother. She tells of pale English aristocrats and mysterious Russian nobles. She tells of intrigues and secrets, and strange faceless figures that rise up from the sea. And she tells about the enigmatic Mrs Pond, who arrives with her husband and her trusted physician.

In Justin Richards’ Shadow in the Glass , the Sixth Doctor is on an adventure set partly in Second World War. When a squadron of RAF Hurricanes shoots down an unidentified aircraft over Turelhampton, the village is immediately evacuated. But why is the village still guarded by troops in 2001? When a television documentary crew break through the cordon looking for a story, they find they’ve recorded more than they’d bargained for.

Paul Cornell’s Human Nature  is an adventure set in Britain on the eve of the First World War, featuring the Seventh Doctor as played by Sylvester McCoy. This book was the basis for the Tenth Doctor television story Human Nature / The Family of Blood starring David Tennant. Hulton College in Norfolk is a school dedicated to producing military officers. With the First World War about to start, the boys of the school will soon be on the front line. But no one expects a war – not even Dr John Smith, the college’s new housemaster…

While Forbidden Planet can’t promise you the actual TARDIS, a critical mass of Who-writing talent that is sure to conjure the imagery and characters from all through the series’ long years is their quite reasonable alternative. Find out more by visiting the event webpage.

New Doctor Who LEGO Rumours Surface!

Barry Rice 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.

The new month brings with it yet another new Doctor Who LEGO rumour.

Several Who-themed proposals have made it to the review phase over the years but all were eventually rejected by LEGO. Two new Doctor Who designs are currently in the review phase on the LEGO Ideas website, and the company announced at the beginning of the year that the results of that review will be shared soon.

LEGO fan site The Brick Fan is reporting on a new rumour, started by a trusted source on the Eurobricks LEGO forum. Details were scant, with the source stating only that he “heard of a rumour about the good Doctor.” Confessing that he couldn’t say much more, he did reveal that it’s “something involving all 13.”

Neither of the two proposed sets currently under consideration feature all 13 incarnations of the Doctor, instead choosing to focus on only one or two Doctors and their Companions. Of course, LEGO is certainly free to tinker with the original concept and make changes that are more commercially viable. I think it’s safe to say that Doctor Who fans (myself included) would be much more excited by the idea of having every regeneration represented.

Even more curious is how LEGO would package such a collection. Considering this is coming from the LEGO Ideas website, the obvious answer would be a box set containing all 13 mini-fig Doctors (and hopefully a TARDIS). Depending on how much freedom they’re given with the license, though, it could make more sense to sell each Doctor individually — either blind-boxed or packaged in “mini-sets,” with each Doctor paired with a Companion (or in the case of the War Doctor, perhaps a Dalek).

For now, this is all rumour, so keep those LEGO salt shakers handy. We should know soon enough when LEGO finally announce their 2014 review results.
