Synopsis: Geronimo! A brand new Doctor crashing to Earth. New face, new body, new man And he's barely staggered out of the blue box, before he's found himself in the middle of the Crisis That Just Won't Stop! No time to rest and recover, no TARDIS, no screwdriver - just six billion human beings about to die and only one man to save them.

A crashed spaceship, a shattered temple and a terrifying climb through the maze of the dead - River Song is back in the Doctor's life and she's brought more trouble than even he can handle. The last of the Weeping Angels is loose in the ruins of Alfava Metraxis, and the Doctor is recruited to track it down.

There are blood-drained corpses in the street, something lurks in the canal, and the Calvierri girls are the loveliest in town, except when you glance in the mirror...

Writer: Steven Moffat

Synopsis: A message on the oldest cliff-face in the universe, a puzzle box opening from the inside and a love that lasts thousands of years... The Fates are drawing close around the TARDIS - is this the day the Doctor falls?

Quote: "There was a goblin. Or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. Nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it - one day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world."

SPOILERS: New TARDIS Interior

The Radio Times have exclusively revealed some brilliant pictures of the brand new TARDIS interior. Only scroll down if you want to see them... these are fairly big spoilers, after all!

The issue is available to buy now at the price of £1.10.

DWM #420 Covers

The latest issue of DWM is out on Thursday 1st April and there are two covers for you to pick from, one featuring the 11th Doctor and the other featuring his new companion, Amy Pond. You can buy the issue for the usual price of £4.20 at all good newsagents.

Note: Picture Failure

As you've probably noticed, Blogger has decided to mess up and not show any pictures - it's done this at the worst time possible, what with brand new TARDIS pictures being revealed and the latest DWM covers... Hopefully the problem will be resolved soon and I hope it doesn't cause you too much trouble. If it takes too long, though, I might have to kill Blogger.

I'm joking of course...

New Pictures

Five new promotional images have been released for 'The Eleventh Hour' and you can see them below. I'm sorry for posting them so late, but it's better than nothing!

Not long now!

Karen Gillan Interview

Karen Gillan has recently been interviewed about Series Five and her upcoming role as Amy Pond, the Doctor's brand new assistant. In the past, it's clear to say that the relationship between the Doctor and his companion has always been interesting and she spoke a little about this:

"It’s fair to say she’s attracted to the Doctor, but I don’t think she’s in love with him. She’s not this love sick puppy following him around."

Despite this, in a recent trailer, the Doctor and Amy were seen to be kissing for a brief moment and she says, in response, "There is kissing, yes, but that will pan out as you watch the series."

Official Broadcasting Details!

The BBC have finally released the details about the Series Five starting date! The first episode, 'The Eleventh Hour,' starts at 6.25pm on Saturday 3rd April, and lasts for an hour. The synopsis is below:

The Doctor has regenerated into a brand new man, but danger strikes before he can even recover.

With the TARDIS wrecked, and the sonic screwdriver destroyed, the new Doctor has just 20 minutes to save the whole world – and only Amy Pond to help him.

It's so, so close now! Only 20 days to go! The countdowns can now commence...

Brand New Layout!

Well, here it is! The Oncoming Storm has undergone a regeneration and I hope you like the result! It's now completely ready for Series Five and there have been various additions here and there so please take a look around and leave some feedback - your thoughts are always appreciated!

Also, from now on there are going to be more posts, including a weekly fan video and fan fiction, so keep an eye out for those!

Oh Mother!

Seeing as it's Mother's Day tomorrow for everybody in the UK, I thought I'd do a special post involving the mothers of Doctor Who. Every companion comes with a mother and not all of them (well, hardly any of them actually!) always like the Doctor. Here are the three examples from the new series...

Jackie Tyler

The mother of Rose, Jackie Tyler certainly isn't one to be quiet... She loves a good old cup of tea and originally called the Doctor a 'strange man in her bedroom!' Despite her ditziness and loud-mouthed nature, Jackie is loveable and was a firm favourite with fans.

Francine Jones

Francine is Martha Jones' mother and she certainly didn't approve of the Doctor at first. She knew he was dangerous and eventually got involved with Harry Saxon (the Master) who warned her of the dangers... She also slapped the Doctor and was imprisoned on the Master's ship.

Sylvia Noble

Donna's mother was Sylvia Noble and she was seen as a bit of a nagger, constantly hassling Donna to get a job. She didn't really approve when her daughter started travelling with the Doctor but did show her heroic side when she eventually saved her father Wilf by smashing a car windscreen with a hammer!

So there are the mothers, but who is your favourite? Do you even have a favourite? Please feel free to share your views as they're greatly appreciated.

- The site regeneration is tomorrow afternoon, so be sure to come back for that!

Rumours: The Doctor becomes a Lodger? (SPOILERS)

According to the Daily Star, episode eleven of the new series will be called 'The Lodger' and has been written by Gareth Roberts. They say that the Doctor sets the co-ordinates in the TARDIS to go into the future and the ship somehow ends up leaving him behind with Amy Pond travelling on her own!

In the mean time, the Doctor has to wait on Earth and ends up being a lodger of James Corden's character's flat. He ends up playing football with him, drinking in the pub and many other normal activities (filming pictures seem to confirm this.)

A programme insider has said, "“It’s going to be the funniest episode of the new series."

These are all rumours at the moment and hasn't been confirmed but the source is here. It's best not to believe in it all until it's shown on TV!

Behind the Scenes at SFX

The brand new 3D cover of SFX Magazine featuring the Doctor and Amy is out today and now the official website has released ten exclusive pictures of what happened during the photoshoot. To view them click here and thanks to Whovian Net for this news!

4 days until the blog regeneration...

New Look Coming Soon...

I've had this particular template for a looong time and it seems as though most other Bloggers seem to use it too (in some shape or form...) so I've decided to completely makeover the website with a brand new look, especially in time for Series Five. I've already picked the template and, with some help from Rob (of UDW), I'm working on adding everything.

The new look should be up by the end of the week, so please keep a look out for that!

The Doctor and Amy on Tour

Doctor Who Online have revealed that Matt Smith and Karen Gillan will be touring the UK before the start of the new series as a way of promotion and allowing fans to meet the new TARDIS crew. Each location will be showing an exclusive premiere of the first episode of Series Five, 'The Eleventh Hour.' These are the dates:

- March 29th in Belfast
- March 30th in Inverness/Sunderland in the afternoon
- March 31st in Salford/Northampton in the afternoon

After the tour from April 1st to 3rd, the BBC will hold events at selected BBC Big Screens across the UK for fans in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Plymouth and Swansea.

Sounds exciting!
