The Beast Below - Thoughts

Sorry for this being late - I couldn't get online last night. Anyway, The Beast Below has made its debut and it hascertainly divided Doctor Who fans. Some loved it, some hated it. But what did you think of the episode? Did you love the Smilers and the space whale, or did you think it was all a little complicated?

The episode managed 6.7 million viewers in total, which is a slight dip, but this is hopefully because of the sunny weather and the football on the other channels.

Doctor Who Companion - The Specials

The cover for the latest Doctor Who Magazine Companion has been revealed and this time it's for the 2010 Specials. It will be available from Thursday 15th April and will give exclusive details and pictures from David Tennant's final episodes.

New Doctor Who Game

The BBC has announced that there will be a free episodic Doctor Who game for the PC and Mac titled 'Doctor Who: The Adventure Games.' It will feature the current 11th Doctor and Amy Pond in four unique adventures. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan will actually voice their characters and the episodes will be written by Phil Ford and James Moran.

Steven Moffat, the show's current headrunner, said, "Children don’t just watch Doctor Who - they join in. They make up games, invent their monsters, create their own stories. Now, there’s something else - now they can be the Doctor in brand new episodes."

The first episode, available for free on the BBC website, will be released in June. More information will follow.

Thanks to TARDIS-Base for this!

Episode Two Teasers

Digital Spy have released ten teasers for episode two, 'The Beast Below:'

1. It's set more than a millennium into the future, at a time when the Earth has been abandoned and the UK is a floating spaceship known as Starship Britain.

2. That apparently makes Amelia Amy... oooh, 1306 years old.

3. The Smilers are creatures that live in arcade machine boxes, similar to the Zoltar fortune teller from BIG. Except you should try to avoid interacting with these.

4. Amy is presented with three options, Matrix-style. She chooses the second, then the third.

5. "Protestors and citizens of limited ***** are *** ** *** *****."

6. There's an homage to Katy Brand's "f***ing Queen". But this one is merely "the bloody Queen".

7. Amy: "You look *****." The Doctor: "No, you look **** ****."

8. Amy wears her nightie throughout the episode - and it gets wet.

9. He may appear to be fun and kooky, but this Doctor can get angry. REALLY angry.

10. Episode two directly segues into episode three when The Doctor gets a call from an old pal.
