Friday, January 30, 2009

At Last!

The monster for the upcoming special, Planet of The Dead has been revealed. The monster is called 'The Tritovore' which is apparently supposed to be really really scary! Here is an extract from the article at the Mirror Website:
"Everyone remembers the Daleks and the Cyberman, but not a lot else if they're honest.
"The Tritovore will change that. They are disgusting and will last long in the memory."
What really gets me though is the fact that Russell T. Davies, the show's head writer said that he is going to use the creatures in three other special shows.
How Exciting! You can read the full article here. No pictures have been released but they will be up as soon as they come out!

Planet of The Dead - Possible Delay

Sunday, January 25, 2009

The forthcoming special for Doctor Who, Planet of The Dead, could possible be delayed. During filming there was a double-decker bus that was being shipped to Dubai for some filming. Although it was badly damaged and the BBC are finding it very hard to find a replacement. This means now that Russell T. Davies who is writing the episode will have to rewrite parts of the episode, which means that the much awaited special could be delayed to Late Spring rather then Easter.

This makes me sad because if it was at Easter Time it was probably going to be on my Birthday :( . Ah Well, Thats Life.

Quick Notice:
You may Have noticed recently that I said I would be taking time off Blogger, well that's been changed, although there will still probably not be that much updates as I will busy with School Stuff.
