Doctor Who Filming Row

The fifth series of Doctor Who is currently being filmed Llandaff's Cathedral Green, and the owner of a local bookstore on the high street, Pete Hall, is objecting to the filming saying:

“We received a letter from the location manager late last week informing us that they are setting up and filming on the village green for an entire week and will be restricting parking between 8am and 7pm at night. “When I read it my heart sank. “As a small shop fighting for our very existence due to the difficult economic climate, the thought of all those outdoor vehicles blocking our already choked traffic system and frightening our customers away is too much to bear. “Traders here do their very best to create a friendly and comfortable atmosphere to entice the public to brave the traffic problems in the area and visit us, so this feels like the last straw.”

“It is our 30th anniversary in the book trade soon but sadly I cannot see us celebrating 31 years next year. “I suggest that the next time the BBC makes a decision to produce a drama in a busy city area like this, they should spare a thought for self-employed and stressed shopkeepers who are working hard to serve our customers and stay in business.”

In response, a BBC spokesperson said: “We regularly film on location around Wales and take great care to ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum. “We realise that filming sometimes causes inconvenience for people locally and we very much appreciate the support we get when we are on location.”

I completely understand what this bloke is saying, but does he not realise that he's lucky enough to have the greatest show in the world filmed on his own doorstep? If anything, the bookshop would certainly benefit from the filming in both the short and long term!

Quote Of The Day - Davros

"There you are mistaken, Doctor. I am known as the Great Healer. A somewhat flippant title, perhaps, but not without foundation. I have conquered the diseases that brought their victims here. In every way, I have complied with the wishes of those who came in anticipation of one day being returned to life."
- Davros, Revelation of the Daleks.

Quote Of The Day - Ninth Doctor

"And I bet you're fussing and moaning now, typical. But hold on, and just listen a bit more. The TARDIS can never return from here. Emergency Programme One means I'm facing an enemy that should never get their hands on this machine. So this is what you should do: let the TARDIS die. Just let this old box gather dust, no-one can open it, no-one will even notice it. Let it become a strange little thing standing on a street corner. And over the years, the world will move on, and the box will be buried. And if you wanna remember me, then you can do one thing. That's all, one thing. Have a good life. Do that for me, Rose. Have a fantastic life."

Elisabeth Sladen Interview

Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane) has been interviewed by SFX for an upcoming interview on the third series of the Sarah Jane Adventures, and a preview has been published on the SFX website. It can be read below;

Episodes one and two
“Prisoner Of The Judoon” by Phil Ford.
“I love one and two, because I’m evil Sarah Jane, and I absolutely relished it – it’s great! I said to Phil Ford, ‘Why did you think I could do that?’ and he said, ‘It’s something you did or said last year’, so I thought ‘Oh… They do listen!”

Episodes three and four
“The Mad Woman In The Attic” by Joseph Lidster
“Three and four my husband [Brian Miller] is in, which is brilliant. That was in the rain on Barry Island. If you’ve ever been on Barry Island, with or without rain, you would remember it. I got a chest infection on Barry Island! You look at it and you don’t see the terrible weather we had - it was a nightmare for poor Alice [Troughton, the director], it really was. And for the lighting guy. And of course this year we’re in HD for the first time. It’s a different kind of look and it looks so expensive – it’s wonderful, I’m so thrilled with it.”

Episodes five and six
“The Wedding Of Sarah Jane Smith” by Gareth Roberts
“A great story. It’s by my lovely Gareth – he’s lovely because he knows Sarah so well, he knows Doctor Who so well. He puts little things in sometimes, where I look up from a read-through and maybe only he and I and Russell and someone else will spot them! It’s really nice to have those little moments.”

Episodes seven and eight
“The Eternity Trap” by Phil Ford
“The haunted house one is incredibly scary - I mean I even screech in it when something happens! Danny [Anthony, who plays Clyde] went to the loo and he wouldn’t look in the mirror - when he came back out from washing his hands, he flew out!”

Issue 190 of SFX is on sale from Wednesday 18th November and the full interview with Elisabeth Sladen can be read in there - buy it!

Investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith, one-time companion to The Doctor, is back for a third series of alien-busting adventures, from creator Russell T Davies, which also features a special appearance from The Doctor himself, David Tennant, who stars in two episodes. Sarah Jane is accompanied by her adopted son, Luke, his streetwise pal, Clyde Langer, their schoolmate, Rani, who lives opposite and has aspirations to become a journalist like Sarah Jane, and their Xylok super computer in the attic, Mr Smith. Sarah Jane's robot dog, K-9, also joins the gang on their adventures.

In the first of this two-part adventure, Sarah Jane and the gang face the most dangerous day of their lives, as the rhino-like Judoon return. When prisoner Androvax the Destroyer crash-lands on Earth, a Veil is set free and starts to turn Earth's technology against itself. And his next intended victim is Sarah Jane. The series also features an extraterrestrial girl who can make people play games against their will; a living painting; the inhabitants of a supposedly haunted house; and monsters who want to infect Earth with a strangely aggressive weed. Finally, there is a chance for Sarah Jane to find personal happiness with someone who could be the perfect person to complete her family. A brand-new website accompanies the third series, complete with a trailer maker, monster hunt, video diaries from the cast, web games and exclusive behind-the-scenes videos.

Quote Of The Day - Charles Dickens

"I've always railed against the fantasist. Oh, I loved an illusion as much as the next man, revelled in them. But that's exactly what they were. Illusions. The real world is something else. I dedicated myself to that, injustices, the great social causes. I hoped that I was a force for good. Now, you tell me that the real world is a realm of spectres and jack-o-lanterns. In which case, have I wasted my brief span here, Doctor? Has it all been for nothing?"

Quote Of The Day - Gwen Cooper

"There's something I always meant to ask Jack. Back in the old days. I wanted to know about that Doctor of his. The man who appears out of nowhere and saves the world except sometimes he doesn't. All those times in history and there was no sign of him. I wanted to know why not. But I don't need to ask anymore. I know the answer now. Sometimes the Doctor must look at this planet, and turn away in shame. I'm recording this in case anyone ever finds it, so you can see. You can see how the world ended."

Doctor Who Series 1 - 4 Box Set Cover & Details

Series 1: Christopher Eccleston's Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave. An alien and a loner (it's difficult keeping up with friends when your day job involves flitting through time and space), his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world's in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That's why he needs new assistant Rose.

Rose (Billie Piper) is a shop-girl from the present day. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose are soulmates. They understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time, encountering new adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination. She starts out as an innocent, unfettered by worldly concerns. But she ends up an adventurer who, by the end of the series, can never go home again...

Series 2: The complete second series featuring David Tennant as the tenth 'regenerated' Doctor Who. In 'The Christmas Invasion' Christmas trees and seasonal Santa Claus impersonators begin wreaking havoc on the residents of London. Meanwhile the TARDIS lands on Earth with a new Doctor aboard. The Doctor is not yet fully recovered from regeneration. An invasion of the planet threatens mankind and there's only the Prime Minister to battle it out.

Series 3: The third series of Doctor Who is full of new thrills, new laughs, new heartbreak and some terrifying new monsters. From the moment the Doctor walks into the life of medical student Martha Jones he changes it forever.

Series 4: David Tennant is back in his role as the Doctor in the fourth series of the hit sci-fi show! Award-winning comedienne Catherine Tate returns as the Doctor's new companion, reviving her role as Donna Noble. Also on hand to help the Doctor are some familiar faces as he has the New Dalek Empire to stop!

David Tennant - Dream Headteacher

In a survey carried out by the National College for the Leadership of Schools and Children's Services to find out who would be 9 - 11 year olds favourite teacher and the results show that at number one is everyone's favourite timelord, David Tennant! He beat off competition from Barack Obama, JK Rowling, Cheryl Cole, David Beckham, Will Smith, Michelle Obama, Alan Sugar, Lewis Hamilton, Alan Shearer, Jamie Oliver, Rebecca Adlington, Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham and Jamie Redknapp.

The National College's chief executive, Steve Munby, said: "Being a head is a tough but extremely rewarding job, but you don't need to be a Time Lord to make a difference to children's lives. "I'm not surprised to see David Tennant at the top of the list, alongside positive feedback about their own heads, who are obviously role models in their own right."

Once again David Tennant's popularity is proved, and how much we'll miss him when he's gone!
