Doctor Who related Tweets

@gnilwoce : Morning all, and now 9 days until we're fighting uncle Bob for the best chair to watch the Dr Who special :-)

@xiaodown : Watching Dr. Who Christmas specials during the Christmas season genuinely makes me happy

@ChadSavage : Talking about Santa Claus earlier, we decided that he's a Time Lord like Dr. Who. I mean, seriously - it explains everything.


@quotergal : They just put a few old Christmas Dr. Who eps on @bbcamerica - whipping through 'em like they're peanuts. Please sir, I want some more.

@makadajohnson : "Your full of s**t" will remain in my mind as the best thing i have seen on telly in 2010 unless the Dr Who christmas special is about me.

@riamichelle : So. Dr. Who Christmas special looks like it's going to be bad...ugh can I just have good Dr. Who again. Please.

Happy Birthday Nicholas Courtney - forever "The Brigadier" from Doctor Who

Happy Birthday Nicholas Courtney

forever "Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart"

 Five Rounds of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow!" ... Rapid! 

In tribute to one of the great actors and characters to ever appear in the Doctor Who TV series, here are a few words by and about Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart to celebrate Nicholas Courtney's 81st birthday today ...

"Nicholas Courtney, a man as important to Doctor Who as the Sonic Screwdriver."

David Maddox on SFSite.com (2001)

"I think I established him early on. I tried to get, in the scripts, the humour out of the man. Not that I played him for laughs, I didn't, but the fact that he got so many things wrong sometimes, like imagining that some planet was chroba - I wrote that line myself, actually. I wanted to get the humour in."

Nicholas Courtney on DenOfGeek.com (2008)

"Well, when I was established, they used to let me write the odd funny line, delivered seriously of course. In The Three Doctors, when Unit HQ ended up on a sandy alien planet, I said, 'No, I'm pretty sure that's Cromer.' ... 'Chap with wings, five rounds rapid' wasn't one of mine, sadly."
Nicholas Courtney on RadioTimes.com (2008)

The Silurians (1970) - "The Brigadier is seriously scary as the efficient trained killer he's paid to be. When we think about how they down-graded him later, reaching Colonel Blimp level in the Sylvester years, it makes us want to kick someone."
Androzani.com

"Lethbridge-Stewart, head of the Army's killing aliens division with a staff of around half a dozen, a pristine moustache and a forever-befuddled grasp on the Doctor's space-time antics."

TVCream.co.uk

"Fiercely patriotic, the Brigadier never encountered an alien that he didn't attempt to shoot or blow up."

BBC.co.uk/DoctorWho

"I loved the UNIT of the seventies with the Brigadier, Mike Yates, and Sergeant Benton, but they were always a little too family to be believable as a military organisation, especially a top-secret one."

Carl Malmstrom on PageFillers.com (1997)

"The Brig's a great character and he's still going strong. When I look back on my career, I think I might have done more classical work, but I jolly well don't mind. A friend who's done a lot of that said, 'Yes, but look, you're rich.' Which is kind of true. I've done OK because of all the royalties from sales of Doctor Who abroad. They've helped my pension enormously. Thanks to the DVDs and Big Finish, the Brig's still alive. Whether he's kicking or not, I don't know."
Nicholas Courtney on RadioTimes.com (2008)

DOCTOR WHO on TWITTER - Part One

DOCTOR WHO on TWITTER

After a random dip into the Twittersphere here is a selection of our favourite Doctor Who related Tweets on Twitter from the last few days (along with our comments) ... which all just goes to prove how much people are talking and Tweeting about the Doctor.

Not surprising that the Xmas Special gets a good mention ... also great to see a number of Tweets from outside the UK proving that Who is a universal family.

And speaking of family ... please note that some of the following Tweets use "adult" language.

Dr WHO TWEETS

@jsie : Just had a dream I was watching a Doctor Who film made for the American market. It was rubbish. :/

That may not have been a bad dream, it may have been the 1996 movie ... ?

----------------------------------------------

@IvyWolf : I think I just got infected with Dr. Who obsession :D

Join the club and don't forget to get your booster shot.

----------------------------------------------

@Esabuddha : Samantha Who? Doctor Who?

Oooh! Christina Applegate for the next Who Companion?

----------------------------------------------

@rizqkramadhani : successfully seducing my brother into watching Doctor Who. LOL

Hmmmm! Not too sure about this one. Who may be one big happy family but this is taking it too far.

Dr Who - Wit and Wisdom of Russell T. Davies - Part One: The Pre-Dawn of Doctor Who the New Series.

THE WIT and WISDOM of
RUSSELL T. DAVIES

Part One: The Pre-Dawn of Doctor Who the New Series (2003-05)

On the 'Doctor Who' TV show -

"It's the best idea ever invented in the history of the world!"

Russell T. Davies on BBC Wales Today (2004)

In 2003, the BBC finally announced that Doctor Who would return to our TV screens. Almost as important a question as the identity of the actor who would follow in the new Doctor's time-travelling tracks after a 16 year hiatus, was which creative talent would be entrusted to oversee and spearhead this much-awaited revival.

As we know now, this proved to be Russell T. Davies [right]. An inspired choice as it turned out, but one the BBC never really had much doubt about, as Mal Young - Head of BBC Drama - confidently announced back in 2003, "We're thrilled to have a writer of Russell's calibre to take us on this journey."

And some journey it was. On the road to resurrection, Russell was to prove more than a mere pencil-pusher ... he was an envelope pusher. As executive producer / show-runner, he was the undoubted guiding light that brought a sadly faded icon back to our screens.

Much has been made of Russell's legacy after the fact of the show's global success, but what were his thoughts before the New Series was unleashed? The following dozen quotations make interesting reading in understanding his creative mindset before he knew what he had (re-)created ...

2003

"I want to make the Doctor the best character ever. He should be so fascinating he's radioactive. He's funny, clever, wild and fast. Your best friend times 500."

"None of us is talking about a reboot, it's the same old Doctor Who. I want the Doctor, at least one companion, whose name is probably Rose Tyler. I want the TARDIS, I want it to look like a Police Box, and I want them to fly through the universe and all its history, facing death and danger and braving it out with a fast and funny fighting spirit. That's Doctor Who, isn't it?"

in Doctor Who Magazine

2004

"I have a philosophy - I can do what I want. If we can think of the perfect story for him to fall in love then he will. The purists may be up in arms, but there are more things to worry about in life. There is no pure Doctor Who. He is 41 years old - it is the only way to do it, to change."

Doctor Who - A to Z of Quotations about Dr Who from The Quotable Doctor Who quotes book series

An A to Z of
THE QUOTABLE
DOCTOR WHO

To celebrate the publication of the First Volume in The Quotable Doctor Who quotes series by Blue Eyed Books, co-authors Colin M Jarman and Catherine A Davies have selected a personal A to Z of Quotations about the world's favourite time-travelling TV show.

These quotes cover the Doctor himself, actors who have played the Time Lord, companions, enemies and monsters and other stuff associated with the ever-expanding Whoniverse.

"Karen Gillan, as sidekick Amy, was a fine foil ... Gillan, to use the X Factor argot, 110 per cent nailed it. Ballsy, bewildered, aghast and simultaneously delighted, she only let the sisterhood down by gambolling around in a skirt the size of a placemat."

Benji Wilson in The Daily Telegraph (2010)

"Doctor Who's main sidekick for the better part of a decade, the Brigadier had an upper lip so stiff, it even had a thick moustache as an extra stiffener."

Charlie Jane Anders on io9.com (2010)

"Everyone’s second favourite bad guys, the Cybermen."

James Whittingham on Kasterborous.com (2010)

"Why do the master race Daleks [in Victory of the Daleks] look like cut-price Mac Book Pros crossed with embarrassing sex toys?"

Adam Mason on Alltern8.com (2010)

"Ah, yes, the Doctor. He's Christopher Eccleston, of course, casting as inspired as making Vincent D'Onofrio a cop."

Damien Love in The Sunday Herald (2005)

"I like meeting the fans. They come up and say, 'I wasn't alive when you were doing it.' "

Frazer Hines

"Mark Gatiss, [as Prof Lazarus in The Lazarus Experiment] who has been patiently waiting for the call since he was six, doesn’t squander his chance to chew the scenery in the way that only Doctor Who villains can."

Mark Wright on TheStage.co.uk (2007)

New cover designs unveiled for The Quotable Doctor Who quotes book series Volumes Two and Three.

On the day that Blue Eyed Books officially publish the First volume of their Quotable Doctor Who series of quotes books, they have also revealed the next two cover designs for Volume Two (to be published in Spring 2011) and Volume Three (to be published in Autumn 2011).

Volume Two covers the Doctor's Enemies, Monsters and Other Characters, and
Volume Three covers the Classic Who Episode Guide from 1963 to 1989.

Both new designs follow the same winning formula as the original - an artistic impression of a TARDIS outline with superimposed faces of the subjects featured in the books themselves.

While Volume Three reprises the eight Classic Who Doctors from Volume One, the second volume features a dozen faces representing enemies, monsters and other characters. How many of the 12 half-faces can you recognise? 

The cover design for Volume Four will be released at a later date. Once Blue Eyed Books have agreed on a suitable colour scheme.
