Matt Smith makes a Child's Dream Come True

A YOUNG boy from Northampton who spent last Christmas in hospital fighting cancer has had his dream of meeting Doctor Who come true, thanks to the Chronicle & Echo and the star of the hit show.

Alfe Game was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma when he was just five and spent Christmas 2009 at Northampton General Hospital.
The seven-year-old, from Duston, went into remission from the illness in July and has since dedicated hours of his time to helping children in a similar position to him, including collecting toys for presents for children spending Christmas at NGH and designing Christmas cards to be sold to fund presents for two friends who have relapsed with leukaemia.
To say ‘thank you’ to Alfe for his hard work in the community, the Chron arranged for Doctor Who fan Alfe to have a surprise Christmas Eve visit from the 11th Doctor himself, Northampton-born Matt Smith.
After recovering from the initial excitement of seeing the former Northampton School for Boys pupil on his doorstep, Alfe and the Time Lord sat down to discuss such urgent matters as their favourite episode, their favourite Doctor Who monster and what they wanted for Christmas.
 
Wearing his prized Doctor Who watch and Dalek t-shirt, Alfe then showed Matt his collection of Doctor Who memorabilia, including a life-sized cardboard cut-out of him with assistant Amy Pond, played by Karen Gillan, before the pair exchanged Christmas presents.
Alfe said: “Meeting Doctor Who was fantastic. When I heard I was going to meet him I was so excited I was crying inside and when I saw him on my doorstep I was so happy. I’ve got what I wanted for Christmas. This has been the best Christmas yet.
“It was my dream to meet Doctor Who and though the fact it’s Christmas Day tomorrow is very exciting it won’t be able to match today.”
Speaking to the Chronicle & Echo after his visit Matt Smith said: “My mum mentioned this to me and as I was going to be around in Northampton I thought why not? It was my pleasure to do it. I’m really pleased we came. Alfe was lovely and they’re such a nice family.
“We talked a lot about Doctor Who and what he wanted for Christmas, and then he showed me his presents, but we were just hanging out really.
“It’s nice to see how inspired children are by Doctor Who and how much of a difference it can make sometimes, when you hear about them meeting in hospital, talking about it and bonding over it.
“This has been a wonderful experience.”

A Christmas Carol Review

Well, Christmas is over, (kinda,) and we all tuned in to Come Fly With Me, sorry Doctor Who. And, it was very good...

CASTING: They couldn't of got it better. Micheal Gambon was just spellbindingly brilliant! He gave me goosebumps, and both the roles he played were ace. Young Kazran was amazing. "Young Lawrence" as Matt Smith calls him played the role brilliantly. Adult Kazran, (Danny Horn,) also stood out. He played a nervous Young Adult amazingly. Katherine Jenkins was also brilliant for a first acting role. From the Kiss to the Singing, it was just wow! Smith, Gillan and Darvill also portrayed their roles amazingly. All in all 5/5 for casting.

STORY- The whole concept was SO christmasy, and the way A Christmas Carol was incorperated very well, and Moffat thrilled us all with some amazing stuff. It made us laugh and made us cry. 5/5 for Story.

Production- Wow. The sets were ace. The music was ace. The costumes were ace. The camera work was ace. The editing was ace. Need I go on? 5/5

OVERALL- The best Christmas Special yet. 10/10

EDIT- Many thanks to TARDIS Newsroom for advertising, without my asking, the latest issue. Check out the blog, it rocks! http://tardisnewsroom.blogspot.com/

SFX Doctor Who Special

REMINDER- Doctor Who Clip, 8pm-9pm, BBC ONE, Children in Need ;D
Here's the rundown of the SFX Doctor Who Special out November 30th...
EXCLUSIVE CAST INTERVIEWS
We speak to Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill about series five, the Christmas special, and how their characters have developed.

100 THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT WHOA bumper-sized feature which runs down just a few of the gazillion reasons why we adore this series with a passion bordering on insanity. And if you’re thinking this’ll be some dreary roll call of the bleedin’ obvious, think again…
MY LIFE AS A DALEK
Voice of the Daleks Nick Briggs and Dalek operator Barnaby Edwards spill the beans on what it’s like bringing the series’ greatest monsters to life.

RTD VS MOFFAT
Who’s the best producer – Russell T Davies or Steven Moffat? That’s the big question when it comes to the modern-day series. There’s only way to decide, of course… fiiiiiiiiight! Oh alright, a reasoned debate on the matter…

COSTUME DESIGNS
Series five costume designer Ray Holman talks us through some of his work, with drawings for the likes of the Eleventh Doctor and a Silurian warrior, and a smattering of behind-the-scenes photos.

AUTHORS ON WHOA trio of opinion pieces penned by a triumvirate of SF & fantasy titans. Discworld overlord Sir Terry Pratchett, Elric creator Michael Moorcock and hard SF boffin Stephen Baxter share their memories of Who, and try to put their finger on the series’ ineffable magic.
KATY MANNING
As Jo Grant, who travelled alongside the Third Doctor, she was one of the series’ best-loved companions; now she’s earned a legion of new fans thanks to her appearance on The Sarah Jane Adventures. Katy Manning talks to us about Jon Pertwee, Matt Smith and those naughty photos of her and a Dalek…
THE FIENDISHLY DIFFICULT DOCTOR WHO PICTURE PUZZLEA double-page brainteaser within which are hidden – in cryptic pictorial form – the titles of a whopping 65 Doctor Who stories – both from the old series and the noughties revival. So, that dragon breathing fire (see left) is “Dragonfire”, to give you just one example! Guaranteed to delight/infuriate you for hours!
SPECIAL EFFECTS
Visual effects experts Mat Irvine and Mike Tucker are in a unique position to discuss Who’s effects, having worked on both the classic series and the new show. Their candid discussion of the challenges they faced is accompanied by lashings of behind-the-scenes images (including some fascinating sketches for the original Davros).

THE LEADWORTH CHRONICLEAll the news that’s fit to print (and some that isn’t…) from Amy and Rory’s local rag!
THE MISSING EPISODES
Sadly, 108 instalments of the classic series are missing, presumed lost forever, thanks to BBC’s junking policy of the ’60s and ’70s. Richard Molesworth, author of new book
Wiped! Doctor Who’s Missing Episodes, tells the full story of how so many episodes came to be destroyed – and how many were later recovered.
THE MINUTES OF THE PANDORICA ALLIANCE
Even evil alien alliances have to have the occasional planning meeting. This transcript of one such session, found crumpled up in a bin in an office in Didcot, provides a fascinating insight into how their over-complicated scheme came about…

WHO’S 25 SILLIEST MOMENTS
From the “robot double” that looks nothing like William Hartnell to that burping Auton wheelie bin, via Ingrid Pitt kung-fu kicking a reptilian pantomime horse… a complete rundown of the series’ daftest bits. 


WHO CRAFTING
Showcasing the creativity of some of the people who make their own Doctor Who dolls, toys and costumes.

ARTHUR “DIES DAILY” DARVILL VS MURDEROUS MOFFAT
In this old-school cartoon (which somehow dropped back in time to a ’70s comic), the showrunner thinks up ever-more diabolical ways in which to bump off the actor who plays Rory.

MARATHON FANWriter and comedian Toby Hadoke (creator of the brilliant Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf) recently rewatched (or listened to) every episode of the series, in a year-long marathon. He shares what he learnt from the experience.
THE ELEVENTH DOCTOR COMIC
American comic publishers
IDW kick off a new Eleventh Doctor range in January. We talk to writer Tony Lee about his plans, and exclusively reveal character designs for the series.

WHO SNOGLINESWho’s kissed who in the Whoniverse? Back in the day, you could answer that with one word. Nowadays, the answer is rather more complicated…
IN-DEPTH REVIEWSBack by popular demand: our mindboggingly geeky 26-page episode guide sees us analyse every episode of series five in forensic detail – minute by minute, second by second. It’s the next best thing to having an SFX commentary track on the DVDs!
20 USEFUL THINGS WE LEARNED…
What life lessons can be gleaned from the Eleventh Doctor’s first run of adventures? Quite a few, it turns out…

SERIES SIX PICS
A selection of snazzy paparazzi shots from the filming of the latest series.

It's a Secret...


Lukes gone, and we're entering the Vault of Secrets this week in the Sarah-Jane Adventures. Excited? Meh...
This episode dosen't look brilliant at all, purley because it's got a few references to Dreamland which was utter ****.
However, i'll still review it on the Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday, THE LATEST ISSUE OF REVERSE THE POLARITY! Yay!
Then I'm on my hols, which means I will miss the 3rd episode (WITH THE BLOODY DOCTOR!)

Beautiful Nightmares...

Sorry it's late :(
So, it's time for another review, YAY! After Monday's episode, it seemed this story had all the dark elements and children's elements required, but will part two live up to this?
Well being perfectly honest with you, Yes and No. Here's why...
YES- The acting was superb. Tommy's peformance was heart breakingly brilliant, making it an even bigger shame he is leaving. Julian's was also amazing. The "moving on" theme explored in this first episode gives people at home who may be going through this a sense that it may not be easy, and gives a small insight to the younger viewers that life isn't spoon fed allways...
NO- The defeat of the Nightmare Man. It was TOO cheesy; cheesier than the people who do the inbetween bits, and they are cheesey, but kids will like it, but I didn't. It was TOO "Power Rangery," which ruined it a fair bit.


HOWEVER: this episode was generally brilliant. The whole aspect of moving on was cleverly tied into a very clever plot, depsite a few downsides as mentioned. It's a shame to see Luke and K9 go, but they are coming back.

The little relatonship with K9 and Mr Smith was cute. It made me laugh a fair bit, and you could tell that they loved each other all along. Or is that just me...

OVERALL: a pretty decent episode, despite various downsides...



NEXT WEEK-

Androvax, Dread, and BURPS!

Sidenote- Next week the reviews will be out on Monday and Tuesday, followed by Issue Three of Reverse the Polarity out on the Wednesday. More news soon...

The Sarah-Jane Adventures Series Four: The Nightmare Man Part One

 Sarah-Jane's Back, in the darkest story ever...

We're back at Bannerman Road for the next six weeks, in six brand new two part stories, with the opening story, some what darker than ever before.
Reverse the Polarity after each episode will bring you a review of the new story each week, with an indepth analysis of the new adventures...

So, lets begin...



Goo. Yep, it's  the return of The Sarah-Jane Adventures...
"Today's Story in a Nutshell"
The story opens a year before the "big day," with a nice appearence of the Slitheen. The appearnce of the Slitheen made the story feel suitable for children, until five minutes later when the Nightmare's truely begin...
Luke's having nightmares, which is odd as he can't have them. But these aren't just the bad dream, the Nightmare Man (Julian Bleech,) is feeding of Luke's nigtmares to enter the real world to send the Earth into one great big Nightmare. There's a fair bit of emotion, as Luke's going to University. The heartfelt scenes with Luke, (Tommy Knight,) and Sarah-Jane, (Elizabeth Sladen,) are beautiful, which make the episode heartfelt for the older fans, I jerked a tear!
But Luke's fighting these nightmares, and he can't stop them...
END OF EPISODE!!!

The Review
This episode was VERY dark, too dark for children's TV. The plot however, was amazing. The magical world of Sarah-Jane was captured very quickly, with a dose of darkness. And the casting, was AMAZING. Julian's acting was just, spooky, he's good at that!

Tommy's Peformance was also mind blowingly amazing. He captured so much emotion in the episode. It's a shame to see him go, :'(.

OVERALL: An absolutley brilliant opening, but too dark for Children's TV.
9/10

NEXT TIME...

 

Review for Part Two Available Tomorrow
News Roundup Coming Wednesday

GOING STATESIDE!


The BBC have announced that Doctor Who is heading stateside for the first two episodes of the season.
Here's the press release... 

The BBC announced today that season six of Doctor Who, which delivered record ratings for BBC AMERICA earlier this year, will open with a spectacular two-parter set in the U.S. and penned by 'Who supremo' Steven Moffat.

In the special two-parter co-produced with BBC AMERICA, key scenes will be filmed in Utah for a story set in the late '60s in which the Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah - right to the Oval Office itself.

Production on episodes one and two of the new season starts in Cardiff this month and Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill will then travel to America in mid November to shoot pivotal scenes. They will also be joined by Alex Kingston who reprises her role as River Song.

Showrunner and lead writer, Steven Moffat, said: "The Doctor has visited every weird and wonderful planet you can imagine, so he was bound get round to America eventually! And of course every Doctor Who fan will be jumping up and down and saying he's been in America before. But not for real, not on location - and not with a story like this one! Oh, you wait!"

Piers Wenger, Head of Drama BBC Wales and Executive Producer, added: "Steven's scripts generally inspire us to go that extra mile - this time we're going that extra four thousand. Thanks to our friends at BBC AMERICA and to the continuing ambition of our lead writer and production team, the first two episodes of Matt Smith's second season as the Doctor are going global and look set to become Doctor Who's most action-packed and ambitious season opener yet".

A mini teaser has also been released, which can be viewed bellow...

Exciting news ay! Speculate your thoughts bellow...

The Nightmare's Only Just Beginning...

"Luke, fear my ALGEBRA!"
Yes fellow Whovians, Sarah-Jane and her gang in the Attic from Ealing are back, in what reviews and teasers suggests to be a very dark episode...

Tomorrow sees the first part of "The Nightmare Man" on the CBBC channel at 5:15pm, with the second part airing on Tuesday at the same time, with repeats on the BBC One Chanel on Thursday and Friday at 4:35pm, but if this is a kids show, why are older whovians getting so excited?

I'm 14, and love the Sarah-Jane Adventures for many reasons...
1. It's been in my life since the first episode.
2. It's a Doctor Who Spin Off with an old companion.
3. The Supporting cast are brilliant!

But surely your thinking, I would have grown out of it, but no. In fact, I wasn't looking forward to the season until the trailers and plots, which COMPLETLY changed my mind. This season sees Matt Smith make an appearence, alongside Katy Manning, surely that's a decent reason to watch?

Anyway, back to the Nightmare Man. Here's the Programme Information...
Ep 1 The Nightmare Man, Part 1 by Joseph Lidster
Luke faces life-changing events, and Bannerman Road will never be the same again. But when Sarah Jane's son has his first nightmare, he's haunted by a dark figure from his dreams. A strange entity is reaching out to our world, with terrible consequences for the whole human race.
Ep 2 The Nightmare Man, Part 2 by Joseph Lidster
With Luke, Clyde and Rani trapped in a bizarre dreamscape, Sarah Jane must fight alone! As the Nightmare Man grows stronger, only K-9 might hold the key. But can Luke summon the courage to face his adult life before the whole world is trapped in an endless nightmare?
The Nightmare Man is played by Julian Bleech, who played the Ghost Maker and Davros in Torchwood/Doctor Who, and previews show that his general scaryness remains strong. OVERALL, I'm looking forward to the new season, and the blog will follow it all the way, with previews and reviews. We're expaning the blog to be even bigger, with more updates, YAY!


Meanwhile, an update on Issue Three: It will be out in no more than two weeks, with some cool features :)

Whoovervile!

Morning or evening all!
I thought i'd post a post here telling you about what interviews we have planned for the next few issues...
September's Issue was originally going to see an interview with Sophie Aldred, however, due to time problems, we did not have the time. HOWEVER: JOHN LEESON, (voice of K9,) WILL TAKE HER PLACE IN ISSUE TWO!
John talks about Classic Who, the Return to Who, the SJA, (with some very good news, kind of,) and the season K9.

And there's more to look forward to!
Issue Two will be out later this month...

Doctor in TWO!

Yeah sorry about the terrible pun, I'm not in a punish mood today.
The beeb have announced that Matt Smith's second season of Doctor WHo will be split in half, half airing in the Spring, half in the Autumn.
The Lord and Moffster quotes: "The split series is hugely exciting because viewers will be treated to two premieres, two finales and more event episodes. For the kids it will never be more than a few months to the next Doctor Who! Easter, Autumn, Christmas!!"

Also in the magical press release, there was this paragraph: "The split transmission is the result of a request from Steven Moffat to write a new Doctor Who story arc which involves a big plot twist in the middle of the series. By splitting the series Moffat plans to give viewers one of the most exciting Doctor Who cliffhangers and plot twists ever, leaving them waiting, on the edge of their seats, until the autumn to find out what happens."

This, in my thoughts, is good news as next year will be packed with Who, but will it be too packed?
Here's how I see 2011...
April-May: Doctor Who Season "Six"
August/September: Torchwood S4
Late September-October: Doctor Who Season "Seven"
October/November-December: SJA S5
December: Doctor Who Christmas Special

This also means more merchendise: (figures etc.) So on the whole, YAY!

Meanwhile, Sherlock has officialy been re-comissioned for a Second Season of three ninty minute episodes in Autumn 2011! EVEN BETTER NEWS!

Also, if your a member of the Sherlocking forum, (if not CLICK HERE to go,) I am currently looking for submissions for a HUGE Sherlock volume, with the working title of "221b Baker Street: Volume One."

The new adventure game is also out. "TARDIS" is your opurtunity to explore the Doctor's Time Machine. However, from what I have read, (currently on holiday, and my laptop does not support the Adventure Games," it's very easy. Download it now from www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho.


And finnaly, I leave you with these AWSOME Simpsons Doctor Who charhcters from Springfield Punx which even caught the attention of the SUN! (Well, It's not that hard...)
His site is here, this will take you to all the posts labeled Doctor Who.

Next Stop: Whoovervile...

"I'd Be Lost without my Blogger..."

So we've had very good reviews of the first issue of Reverse the Polarity! The second issue will be out in September, and a preview will be out very soon, with some exciting news involving podcasts and e-books...

Many Who fans will know that head writer Steven Moffat alongside Mark Gattis, (Regular writer and Actor in DOCTOR WHO,) recently wrote the extremely popular modern adaptaion of Sherlock. And it made me think, "Apart from Sherlocking.org, what sites or blogs are there, and is there a fanzine?" So it made me think even more, and I have decided that I may produce a one off Sherlock fanzine called: 221b Baker Street.

What do you all think? It may be worth it... I'll see what the folks over at GallifreyBase think...
So yeah, if you like the sound of it, It may go ahead! Meanwhile, look out for more regular updates to this blog, with news and more! Yay!!!
Live long and Prosper
