Dolls in Doctor Who!

ARRRGGGHHH! Honestly, If there are two things I am scared of, it's Clowns and Dolls (really anything with a creepy smile and 'starey' eyes) I was terrified of Oddbob in 'The Day of the Clown' and the same goes for the joker in 'Dark Night' I also know that in series 4 of 'The Sarah Jane Adventures' that the nightmare man will be terrifying. Now they have to put friggin dolls? I'm gonna Die!

But don't get me wrong, I love the though, and I love episodes that genuinely scare me. So(If these pictures aren't fake) I am excited

Take a look at them!:







Creepy huh? (or is it just me!)

YAY!

IM BACK! And I don't want to say why I was gone, but I am back. And fine and dandy so don't worry about me!

AM SO SORRY for all I have missed. Will catch up on it over time (I haven't really been checking on Doc Who news much) But yeah!

I know how annoying it must have been for you guys! I mean, I used to follow a blog and they shut down without telling anyone, and I ended up checking for updates every day for a year untill they acctually posted the site was getting no more updates :(

So, I hope none of you have been checking every day!

I will be posting various updates to catch up so.. Some news you all probably know. But... Here we go!

Ahh! It's good to be back!

Sorry!

I am SO sorry for the lack of posts since Monday, For me, Tuesday was the start of term for a teacher, (yes, that is what I do, - Head of English and Drama-) And over the first days of term we have had more after school staff meetings than I can count! Sometimes I have got home at half past nine, so It was just enough time to make myself some tea, and then bed, for I have to get up at quarter to six each morn!

So sorry. As everyone settles down in the new term I hope staff meetings decrease as I find them rather tedious and I still have stuff to mark and a family to take care of!

So, I hope you guys aren't angry with me for my recent drop in posts. (I used to do four or five a day) maybe it's because The series is over now, There's not much to write about now anyway. BUT I do have my rather delayed Guess Who 3 and 4 to post!

Thanks guys!

Series 6 to be 7 Episodes long.

The next series of Doctor Who has been confirmed to be split into two . One in Autumn/Winter that is 7 episodes long. And then an Xmas Special, then another series starting around Easter.

If you ask me, this is the most stupid idea I have ever heard and I hate it! I mean, REALLY hate it. 7 episodes per series will be stupid as the time will fly by. In my opinion, 13 episodes fly by anyway so this is a downer. Second. This change still hasn't resolved the low ratings issue. Yes, we will have Doctor Who when it's dark. But we will also have it in light around summer. Second. Doctor Who will be around more with only three months in-between each episode. This means people will be less excited when a premier comes around and will take to recording the episode instead.

Now, from what I've read, the only reason the BBC are doing this is so children will be happy because there will be less time to wait after a series has finished. No doubt that this decision was made after about 10 complaints to the BBC concerning this issue.

Another thing, Doctor Who has always been competing with the rubbish that is Britain's Got Talent. And now they are also going to have to compete with the X Factor (which, I have to say, I am actually enjoying)

DVDs and other media will get alot more confusing.

The only way I could feel better is by having series 6 split into two.. So that each part it still series 6. Having two series in a year would just feel rushed.

Anyway, thats my long rant about this issue. Tell me your thoughts in the Cbox, do you agree with me or don't you?

Banner Competition Results!

Right, I think it's obvious who won the competition, from what you can see above this post, so I would like to congratulate Blink, who won. But honestly. This was no easy competition.

The other four entries (not as much as I was hoping for, but still a healthy amount) were just as good and I would like to give my congrats, as I would never be able to create such amazing banners!

I would like to note that because I was so impressed with another banner I have awarded it second place. This goes to burkeys banner:

Blink won over you because your banner was a tad small for the space. Perhaps if you could make a bigger version, then I could use your banner sometime in the future

Here are the other amazing entries:

Thanks SOOOOO much to all who entered. And If I missed any entries, then I guess you'll have to tell me and I'll have to judge all over again


and joetoonz, I wasn't sure if your 'entry' was an actual entry or not! so tell me!

TARDIS out now!

The third doctor who adventure game is available for download now. I have just finished playing it. I'm not gonna do a full review, but, here is what I thought:

a little disappointing. It felt really short. I mean REALLY short. And, I was brimming with excitement on the thought of exploring the TARDIS, but, alas. Two lousy rooms? The console room was a joy to explore though, and yet it got frustrating as it's quite hard to adjust the camera when walking round the console. The drawing room wasn't good. It could have been a great design. They could have made it look TARDIS-Y, but they didn't. The only good thing about this room was the collection of doctor who items around the room(i.e. liz tens mask)

But the main thing that annoyed me was the fact that the entity was such a lousy villain. The whole threat it was causing was resolved in 2 minutes flat. Stupid.


That said. Cut scenes were top notch and the writing was too! Graphics fantastic and the final adventure games looks set to be bloody fantastic. (if the cliffhanger was to do with the final game)

The worst adventure game yet, but, still good and I think you should download it purely on the aspect of exploring the TARDIS console room!

6.5/10
