Doctor Who has been turned into a cartoon featuring David Tennant in a special animated adventure. The six-part series, titled Dreamland, will premiere on the Doctor Who website and via the BBC Red Button service in the autumn, before being broadcast on BBC Two as part of CBBC.

Ah, that means nothing, still reserving judgment.

Sounded a bit like young Malcolm McDowell at the end.

Richard Curtis to write episode of Doctor Who
― Alba, Tuesday, 8 September 2009 10:32 (fourteen years ago) link
The prospect of that weird whispery voiced hipster acting out the script is v. depressing. Not that I should be judging on some weird out of context sound clip, but still.

The mere suggestion of Doctor Who meets Blackadder makes me want to kill.

new logo
― modescalator (blueski), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 11:35 (fourteen years ago) link
New logo is great IMO, way better than the old one.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 6 October 2009 11:40 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah think its good that they put the Who underneath the Doctor again, TARDIS motif also fitting. still too much lens flare tho.
― modescalator (blueski), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 11:42 (fourteen years ago) link
link please?

I like it! The lens flare is giving me flashbacks of the Star Trek movie though.
― The ever dapper nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 12:21 (fourteen years ago) link
It's good, got a bit of a 60s vibe.
― chap, Tuesday, 6 October 2009 12:26 (fourteen years ago) link
So much better than the somewhat cheap looking current one.
― Mornington Crescent (Ed), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 12:31 (fourteen years ago) link
funny, other people saying 90s, 80s, 70s... xp
― modescalator (blueski), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 12:31 (fourteen years ago) link
It's truly a time-travelling logo.
― this must be what FAIL is really like (ledge), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 12:38 (fourteen years ago) link
It is so much nicer than the old one, which reminded me of the logo for some early 90s rave artist.
― The ever dapper nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 12:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Thinking about it, new logo probably also means a new version of the theme song.
― James Mitchell, Tuesday, 6 October 2009 16:45 (fourteen years ago) link
Like, durr, obvious, right?
hope so, latest version so shit
― modescalator (blueski), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 16:46 (fourteen years ago) link
I realize it's too close to the end of the year to create a 2009 thread anyway, but how has this 2008 thread gone on for so long?
I'll go against the trend and say I'm not really liking the new logo, it feels too deliberately retro, when DW's logo has always been trying to look futuristic (and hence constantly dating itself).
― Nhex, Tuesday, 6 October 2009 17:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Why oh why didn't they take the opportunity to fire Murray Gold? His music is so overbearing.
― The ever dapper nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 6 October 2009 17:37 (fourteen years ago) link
OTM, but it worked with the overbearing emo of RTD. I hope the new retro logo hints that Moffat is returning to form, esp. with the idea of 11 being Hartnellesque, the 'old man in young body' approach that Davison never really pulled off.
New season of Sarah Jane Adventures starts on the 15th, and yes I'm enough of a Who-stan to watch goddamn Sarah Jane. it pushes the same sci-fi cheezola buttons as my Tomorrow People box-sets.

The new logo kinda reminds me of

thanks for the reminder herb, I was wondering when that was going to start actually. also with you on being enough of a who-stan...

So the tenth doctor is going to kick it in my favorite tie (the one he also wore in The Girl in the Fireplace)? :(
― The ever dapper nicolars (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 14:28 (fourteen years ago) link
It has a white question mark on a blue field? (sorry but could be homage to prev dr)
― edward everett horton hears a who (suzy), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 14:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Seems to be wearing Tennant's clothes in the pics with the new companion as well, so presumably the Moffatt/Smith era begins straight after the regeneration?
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 14:37 (fourteen years ago) link
that would make sense. it's unlikely you'd see more of Matt Smith in RTD's final episode than you saw of Tennant in The Parting Of The Ways.
― modescalator (blueski), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 14:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Can I make my "RTD is furiously scribbbling with his crayons" joke now?

I've probably posted this guy before, but there are new clips up:

was a DT and K9 cameo in Sarah Jane Adventures this afternoon (2nd part tomorrow)

xpost: Great stuff - the dandified early 70's look of Jon Pertwee and Roger Delgado makes an amazingly perfect fit with the Japanese concept of "Elegant Gothic" style.
― Soukesian, Thursday, 29 October 2009 21:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Moffat is writing six of the 13 episodes.
Also "I always liked the Tardis from the Peter Cushing [Dr Who] movies, and wanted to make it more like that".
Sounds like they might be doing the RTD finale part 1 on Xmas Day and part 2 on New Year's Day.
― modescalator (blueski), Friday, 30 October 2009 15:44 (fourteen years ago) link
did we see the thing yesterday when he revealed (on gmtv?) that the special will be mid-november?
― koogs, Friday, 30 October 2009 16:05 (fourteen years ago) link
Good thing in my book.
― Matt DC, Friday, 30 October 2009 16:08 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, it's not like he's a first draft writer.
― Otter madness (Nicole), Friday, 30 October 2009 16:10 (fourteen years ago) link
Watched those two SJA eps this morning. Tennant at his worst, he just seems to be trapped in a loop of the same five or six mannerisms over and over agan. Really can't wait for this regeneration.
― JimD, Saturday, 31 October 2009 15:02 (fourteen years ago) link
I wish I could suggest ban Matt Smith.
