David Tennant’s reign as the current Doctor Who is about to end and Matt Smith’s Doctor will take his place. By coincidence or not, there’s a new iPhone app called Dr Who which is the ebook of The Pocket Essential Dr Who by Mark Campbell. You can pick it up at the App Store for $3.99.

Who is Who? A Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey with two hearts and 13 lives? A folk hero who entertained and enthralled through dark winter evenings in front of the TV? A rebellious iconoclast who toppled corrupt dictatorships and freed the oppressed? Or a bumbling weirdo who for 26 years fought rubber monsters and homicidal dustbins? The answer: all of the above and a lot more besides. The essential companion to every era of Who, packed with facts, figures, opinion, cross-referencing, essays and, of course, lunatic time-travellers in silly scarves.

                          

Thanks to my friends at Sci-Fi Party Line for posting this on Twitter and bringing to my attention. It’s the first look at the new Doctor Who animated set of episodes called “Dreamland” with David Tennant playing The Doctor. He’s my favorite and I’ll be sad when he goes. Not sure if I’ll like Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor.

                          

Last week I was on a podcast about the new movie Zombieland. You can listen to the main podcast here from Sci-Fi Party Line, which is all about Zombieland, and then you can listen to the Sci-Fi After Party podcast here where we talked further about other shows like Stargate Universe, Doctor Who, and Fringe. Thanks to Cat and Eric for having me on and I look forward to joining you again!

                          

Thanks to my friend @FancyFembot/@SciFiPartyLine for this info… The new logo for the new Doctor Who.

Also, over at SciFi Wire, they have a post on which Doctor Who logo is cooler. I never got into the older series, but watched all of them with the logo used for Doctor #9 (Christopher Eccleston) & Doctor #10 (David Tennant). So I prefer that one.

I’m not sure if I want to see a new Doctor (Matt Smith – #11). I really live David Tennant as The Doctor. I really, really do. I will miss him. I’ll enjoy the last few episodes with him.
