Don’t forget that the new series of Doctor Who starts up this Saturday with “Asylum of the Daleks”. The Doctor, Amy and Rory are back, and this time they’re headed to a place that even regular Daleks fear. For those in the US, Doctor Who starts up on BBC America on Saturday at 9pm/8c. Helping get us back into the timey-wimey mood, BBC has been posting a series of fun shorts, called Pond Life, focusing on Mr. and Mrs. Pond since we last saw them.
- Pond Life – Part 1 – Voice mail from the Doctor
- Pond Life – Part 2 – A late night visitor
- Pond Life – Part 3 – A new houseguest
- Pond Life – Part 4 – Living with the houseguest
- Pond Life – Part 5 – Things take a turn
What does writer and producer Stephen Moffat have to say about writing his first Dalek episode? RadioTimes has his episode guide.
Also celebrating the start of series 7, Nerdist Channel has a few programs related for their Doctor Who-eekend: For wacky fun, the Doctor Who cast and crew takes on Chris Hardwick, Wil Wheaton and more in Chris Hardwick’s All Star Celebrity Bowling on Friday (preview here – “Bowling is cool”). On Saturday, check out the Doctor Who Premiere Q&A at 10pm/9c, with Chris Hardwick talking with Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Executive Producer Caroline Skinner after the premiere.
EDIT: BBC America just put up a new Her Universe Doctor Who shirt for sale, combining the logo and the Amy Pond introduction. Go check it out / buy it!
I’m not sure what is sadder from the previews- the Doctor carrying a limp Amy or Rory appearing to walk away from Amy & her declaration of they needing her raggedy doctor.
The only thing missing in all the previews is River. I can’t imagine saying goodbye to the Ponds without River involved! And the Ood butler was hilarious.
Pond Life 5 was definitely sad.
Outside of torchwood, they’ve not killed a companion in the new series. I could understand if they did, but wasn’t Donna noble sad enough? Not getting to raise their daughter?
Oh Ponds!
