Doctor Who - Peter Capaldi Graces This Weeks TV Guide Cover

Peter Capaldi is all the rage this week as he is now the cover boy for this weeks TV Guide which is the US equivalent of the Radio Times.  This is pretty cool as back in the day when I first started watching Doctor Who would not even be featured at all.

The Avengers on Blu-Ray - No, not them, the TV series!!

Emma Peel will make her debut on Blu-ray on November 11 in the US.  Season 5 of the 1967 TV series, The Avengers will be out on Blu-ray and digital copy.  What happened to season 1-4 you ask - Well, the first 3 seasons were shot on video and may not benefit that much from a Blu-ray set and season 4, with the debut of Peel (played by Diana Rigg) is in B&W.  So season 5 is the first in color and film.

Meanwhile there are plans to release season 4 on Blu-ray in the Uk and France among other countries.

Doctor Who - Peter Capaldi Talks About Series 8


The second interview released by the BBC is with the 12th Doctor himself Peter Capaldi. Here he talks about being the Doctor, fan reaction and what advice a former Doctor gave him.

Can you describe your emotions on the first day when you stepped on set as the Doctor?

I was frightened and excited. My first proper day was stepping out of the TARDIS into a brand new world, which was exactly what was happening to me. Of course being inside the TARDIS you’re just inside a big box really. It’s not bigger on the inside, it’s just a prop and you’re in there with Jenna and a prop man who you’ve never met before. It was all a bit cozy. But it is frightening because you have to take on the challenge of this role, but at the same time it’s exhilarating because you are getting to step out the TARDIS as Doctor Who, and that’s an iconic role and a great position to be in.

How are you feeling ahead of the new series starting?

Apprehensive, excited, and keen.

What have fans got to look forward to this series?

Doctor Who - Jenna Coleman Talks About Series 8


The BBC have released two interviews for the return of Doctor Who this Saturday.  The first one is with Jenna Coleman who talks about The new Doctor, working with Peter Capaldi and what is in store for Clara.


How is Clara feeling about having a new Doctor? 

For Clara it unbalances her and throws everything up in the air. She has gone from feeling safe - in moments of danger the Doctor would catch her - and thinking she had it all sussed, then suddenly this new guy has come along who she can’t quite access in the same way. He’s removed, he’s not as patient, and he’s much more alien and enigmatic. It’s really hard for her. Her best friend is a changed person, and it is a very difficult for her to accept that and move forward.


What is Clara’s relationship like with the Doctor?
