Doctor Who The End Of Time, Part Two
Friday 1st January 6.40-7.55pm BBC1

Den of the Geek also have a cast list, but Den of the Geek isn't always the world's most accurate source, so aside from those we definitely know, take them with a big grain of salt. Spoilering for length.

Lachele Carl (Trinity Wells)

Karl Collins, Claire Bloom, Lawry Lewin, Sinead Keenan and Barry Howard (from Hi-De-Hi!) are all listed too, but in unnamed parts.

Next, there is a promotional image for The End of Time.

Finally, a Croation (I believe news) site have some more pictures of Doctor Who's filming. Little gallery can be accessed here, with article for anyone who understands the language or feels like translating, though I suspect it doesn't tell us anything new.

[DamnCoffee]

Not too keen on the promotional image. It'll grow on me, I guess.

Thanks for the cast list and promotional images.

Arf! Happy Christmas!

HAHAHA!

OH MY GOD!

Any chance you could get us a download link, so I can Youtube it?

Speaking of Christmas....

[Tybre]

The first of the indents that are Special Project 3 is up:



And also just some musings I found interesting, which I'll summarize here and expand a bit with some of my own thoughts:

Actors like Bernard Cribbins said they weren't allowed to see the final pages of the script, about 3 pages. The thing people sometimes say is 1 page = 1 minute of screentime (not always necessarily true, but I think in certain cases it holds well enough). So there's 3-5 minutes (maybe more) that David Tennant has almost certainly seen the script for, and quite possibly Matt Smith has seen as well. Regeneration doesn't take 3-5 minutes. Even that long babble of going backwards through his lives Mharkin posted wouldn't take 3-5 minutes, even if he were in dire agony and stopping every now and again. It just wouldn't work with that great of pauses, at least I think. So, what could be happening in the last handful of minutes that's so super-dee-duper top secret only RTD and Euros Lyn definitely know, and Tennant and Smith almost certainly know (but then there's no way of knowing for certain until New Year's Day)?

[DamnCoffee]

Well....

Spoiler

I have a feeling now, that in the final scene, he will go back to 2005, and see Rose. This will be Rose before she met NINE, so I think he will say something to her, possibly have a conversation and walk off from her, collapse in the snow and regenerate alone.

More Croatia on set pictures.

With just months to go before the new Doctor takes over the mantle from David Tennant, there were more clues as to what fans can expect in the upcoming series.

New Time Lord Matt Smith and his beautiful assistant Amy Pond – played by Karen Gillian – were pictured this week on location in Croatia.

And judging by the period costume of the extras, the new episode looks to be set several centuries ago.

There was also a new face joining the duo – Birmingham-born Little Dorrit actor Arthur Darvill, who plays a character called Rory.

Producers are doing their best to keep plot lines and character details under wraps, but there's been speculation Rory is Amy's boyfriend.

There are also reports the scriptwriters are following the current Twilight trend and including vampires in the storyline.

[marktmurphy]

Don't forget the new trailer featuring new Masterpowers!

[DamnCoffee]

Thanks for this! I love the shot of The Doctor running through the snow!

[Tybre]

One thing I noticed after opening it in the larger player: When the Master is being all Herman Schultz, just before he raises up his hands, like when the power's still building up, his hands and half of his face and neck turn all skeleton-y. So yeah. More fun going on there it looks like. Also, looks like I was beaten to the chase.

Oh, and DW Wiki have got this:

The two Doctor Who Confidential titles revealed are:
Lords and Masters
Allons-y

Cool trailer there! Thanks for posting, Tyber!

Here's my latest. I hope you enjoy.

I think the Harkness might enjoy this:

Personally I'll stick with the reconstruction, but hey. You guys dig it, you guys dig it.

I like it; it's more alive than a bunch of photos.

[DamnCoffee]

This is rather interesting...

[DamnCoffee]

Just seen new footage from The End Of Time, I had to make a trailer...

Meh, I prefer seeing the stills over on the ReconMission account (which has the whole of TTP btw). But hey, whatevsies. You take your animation and I'll take the few surviving images of what's actual going on, and at the end of the day we shall both have enjoyed a fine Doctor's fine finale. in media res edit: Nevermind. Blog has it, I just didn't open it up until a few moments ago and started adding the rest of the Christmas Indents.

And damn Mharkin that trailer's great. Where'd you get those other clips, if I may ask? Love to see the actual trailer/TV spot that shows the Master saying "My name is the Master" and all the other clips I've not seen. And it seems like we sort of know what the Immortality Gate is now.

And they've finally announced a price for that DVD eh? Been waiting on that news since a bit before WoM aired when the announcement first went of them lumping all of 09's specials into one set.

And now, more Christmas Indents!

The new trailer I asked about above is as follows:



And here we have still more pictures of Croatia.

Finally, I present to you A Doctor Who tabletop RPG. One which I am totally buying at some point, because I love me some TTRPGs. Used to play D&D at camp, my friends and I.

[DamnCoffee]

Thanks for posting!

I'm really in the Christmas spirit, so I present to you my second Doctor Who Christmas trailer, Voyage of the Damned.

[Mr. Blofeld]

No response to my post, Mharkin? Also, have they explained yet why the Master's got a blonde rinse for this episode?

[Tybre]

Seems like a side effect of revival, along with Skeletor and Herman Schultz. Leastways that's the impression I get from interviews Simm has given and the trailers.

A blonde Bond yes, but a blonde Master? No.
Bloody travesty.

[Mr. Blofeld]

This is... bizarre, to say the least:

[danslittlefinger]

Yes. Rather. Like this.


On a bizarre same token, I often wonder is it DA-lek or da-LEK (as Hartnell was adverse to saying).

[DamnCoffee]

Digital Spy have released 10 new promo shots for The End Of Time. It looks like the guy standing behind Sylvia wasn't Captain Jack after all.

Is it sad that I'm excited by the return of the reindeer headbands?

Ooh, and the Master is collar-less in one of those shots. So either he gets out of it (more likely) or he has it slapped on him at some point. Would be kind of lolsome if the Doctor put it on him, unlikely as that is.

[DamnCoffee]

I've just had a thought, if the Doctor did do that, then maybe it's revenge. You know, since he made the Doctor sleep in a tent during the Season 3 finale. If you look at the shot when the Doctor crawls out of his tent in 'The Sound of Drums', you can see a bowl on the floor, that clearly reads 'DOG'.

I was reading through the radio times last night, and there was an exclusive End Of Time preview and something came to my attention. I'll put it in spoilers, 'cause this is major...

Spoiler

'There we a lot of 'last' scenes for us all' explains Davies. 'The last day with poor old Wilf, Donnas final words, the last day on the TARDIS, the last day David used his sonic screwdriver... you name it! There was a lot of emotion on set. The most awful moment came with the four knocks...'

Now, the last day with poor old Wilf? Why is he 'poor'? does something really bad happen? Donnas final words? Why final words, it's pretty obvious that she won't return, so why didn't he say final scene? My guess is that she dies, and says something really emotional before she does.

I have the feeling that both Wilf and Donna will die. Man, End of Time will be BRILLIANT.

I can see Wilf, sadly, dying given that he's the companion for the final stories but I doubt RTD is killing Donna.
