Doctor Who News Oct. 16 2011

Although the 2011 Spike Scream Awards will not be broadcast until October 18th at 9/8c PM on Spike TV, I have learn that Matt Smith has won the Best Science Fiction Actor award. Not an easy task with competition like Daniel Craig (Cowboys & Aliens), Chris Evans (Captain America: The First Avenger), Harrison Ford (Cowboys & Aliens), and Jake Gyllenhaal (Source Code).


Doctor Who lost the Best TV Show to Game of Thrones, and Karen Gillan lost out to Milla Jehovah (Resident Evil: Afterlife) for Best Science Fiction Actress.


In further Doctor Who related news… I have to admit that I am behind once again. The final series of The Sarah Jane Adventures (series 5) started on October 3rd. The six episodes making up the fifth series were all filmed before the sad death of much-loved actress Elisabeth Sladen earlier this year. The series stars Elisabeth Sladen, Tommy Knight, Daniel Anthony, Anjli Mohindra, and Sinead Michael. I will do my best to get caught up on the series, and get some reviews up.


Now for the best news… Filming of the Doctor Who Christmas special is nearing its end, and if my sources are correct, will be airing in 69 days. Matt Smith will be joined by Claire Skinner, Bill Bailey, Arabella Weir, and Alexander Armstrong in what is being called an emotional festive special, packed full of Christmas thrills and chills.


The special is set during World War II… Madge Arwell and her two children are evacuated to an old house in Dorset, where the caretaker is a mysterious young man in a bow tie, and a big blue parcel is waiting for them under the tree. They are about to enter a magical new world, and learn that a Time Lord never forgets his depts.


I for one am counting down the days already…
