Starface McCoy would be an excellent hipster band name.

It's the asthmatic wheezing in the original that I love the most. Also loving how in that video the Peter Howells and Dominic Glynn arrangements (second Tom clip, for Season 18 and second Colin, for Season 23) function as Westlife style key changes.

Gosh, that McGann one was so jarringly awful that it made Murray Gold sound good. (Unless it was Murray Gold, obv. Failing to find out on the interwebs. I'm sure there isn't a Doctor Who FACT that is not on the internet 1000x over and it's just my searching skills lacking, though.)

John Debney - Original Music. but not clear whether that includes the title

Next season of Dr Who to be split in two for big cliffhanger.

Well done BBC and Stephen Moffatt, good tactics for getting me excited.

Heavens, that's bigger than I thought it would be.

I think the fez shop pulled a prank on you...

The fez worn in The Big Bang appears to be lacking a tassel, which is often associated with the hat.

(Could be considered spoilery):

whaaaaaaa???

ok this is bullshit if true

(not surprised though)

I could probably talk about this at length tbh.

wow, I thought I was beyond this but reading that made me go allhttp://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG

meh, only bothered if the show turns to shit after moffat and smith quit

Dan, with no Matrix this is always what I had assumed would happen. (not going into the whole thing further so I don't get accused of spoilering.

hmm...

that is kind of a valid point maybe...? It would help if I remembered exactly how The Matrix tied into oh crap we can't keep talking about this can we

I don't think it's at all spoilery tbh

wow, I thought I was beyond this but reading that made me go all

I for one amhttp://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPGing my damn eyes at this news big time. Probably because it's an RTD script.

This cat would make an awesome twelfth Doctor, btw.

I kinda thought the 12 regenerations thing was gone w/ the Matrix, too...? Or, I figured it had been "reset" in the last season finale, as the Doctor is a newly regenerated creation out of Pond's memory

Doctor Who Live show currently on a 25-date, nine-city tour)

what? WHAT?!

guy i know is doing the sound. he doesn't know doctor who at all and is mightily confused by what goes on.

but says it is awesome.

Dan, with no Matrix this is always what I had assumed would happen. (not going into the whole thing further so I don't get accused of spoilering.

Ditto. And if not, they'd just say, 'With all the other Time Lords gone, all the regenration energy of Gallifrey ended up in the Doctor, so he'll last forever,' and quietly move along.

Meh, this doesn't bother me at all. It was inevitable that the rule of 12 would be done away with, and I'd rather the main show wasn't clogged up with nerdy retconning.

And it's not as though other characters in the past weren't doing this. The Master has been given a new set of regenerations once or twice, plus was completely resurrected by the Time Lords. But I will try to stop being a nerd and explaining this.

Though the 13th Doctor searching for a way to extend his regenerations could've been quite a cool overarching plot for a season.

Enh, not bothered by this. We all knew it was coming.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if the show is as tired as it was in the late 80s by the time they reach no 13.

I mean it's realistically going to be another 4-6 seasons before they reach that point, if not more.

Fie on that – another three years of Smith, then seven years of someone even better, and we’ll ONLY be as tired as the start of Davison!

OK, good point, put it to bed then.

Matt Smith is in this week's Sarah Jane Adventures:

Enjoyed that--also featured return of Jo Grant, and right at the end a nice little summary of what several other ex-companions are up to.

wait, really? The return of Jo?

And her Chilean-born grandson, Santiago.
