American Home for Classic Doctor Who
Not too long after the Horror Channel started showing the classics in the UK, a network in the US makes a similar deal!
Tennant The Last Of The Time Lords?
Moffat told a crowd at a convention that the BBC was thinking about cancelling the show when Tennant left.
Have you checked this out yet? It’s pretty amazing!
And finally, I got a nice email from amazon that gave me some hope about the R1 discontinued stories!
That’s what made the news last week!
Have you had a chance to check out the amazing fan made trailer for Series 8? It’s so well done that it fooled some into thinking it was official!
The dedication of Who fans never ceases to amaze! Until we get a better trailer from the BBC, you know, one that actually features more than a silhouette, this will suffice!
So, what did you miss this past week? Not a whole heck of a lot, but you can stay on top of the news by following @troughtonsmydoc
It may not have been a big week last week, but stay tuned over the coming weeks as we have a couple more interviews lined up!
The New Doctor Lands In August
Yes, the biggest news coming last week was the release of the new teaser trailer!
Staying on the topic of Series 8, there were some new photos that leaked to facebook last week!
It was 18 years ago that Jon Pertwee passed away and Andrew Boland takes a look at the third doctor, remembering why he was so awesome!
So there you go. Not a whole lot happened last week, but now we have something to look forward to… August!
What a pleasant surprise it was to get home today and see that there was a teaser trailer for Series 8 on YouTube! Have you seen it yet? No, yes? Either way, here it is for you !
Alright, let’s microanalyze the who trailer… Um, Capaldi was in it, maybe and there were sparks from the console… Okay, so there wasn’t too much there to really get you excited, except maybe the date. The new Doctor lands this August. Start counting down the days!
Some new photos have recently turned up from the filming of Series 8. None of them are super spoilery, but if you haven’t heard the latest casting news, then you might want to avoid them.
The photos also feature some sexy orange space suits that we’ve seen a few times over the past five years.
I love this photo, it’s a classic pose. I can’t wait to see what they’re looking at!
We also have some behind the scenes photos…
So, how much longer do we have to wait before we get official confirmation about the premiere date? At least then we can start counting the days until Capaldi gets his first full episode!

Your Monday Morning News Round Up is a little late today, but it’s a holiday in Canada and we are taking advantage of it. Here’s a collection of what made the news last week. Follow us on twitter @troughtonsmydoc to get all the news as it happens!
The RT released a YouTube video last week showing some of the restoration work being done on Enemy Of The World and Web Of Fear. Worth noting is that the video was shot before the omnirumour even broke in June last year.
Peter Capaldi was on the Cover of Radio Times this week and Steven Moffatt had an interview inside as well.
With an older Doctor in charge of the tardis, have we come full circle towards a more Hartnell-ish dynamic?
Doctor Who Dark Journey- New Preview
There’s a new clip online from the fan produced Doctor Who audio Dark Journey. The teaser has a few quotable clips, so be sure to check it out.
Matt and Karen Calgary Interview
If you were unable to attend the Calgary Comic Expo earlier this month, you can still see their panel thanks to this YouTube video!
Finally we have a help wanted add for TIMD. We are looking for someone who follows news for the new series and would be interested in contributing small write ups as it happens.
Den of Geek had an interesting article up about Series 8. There are some minor spoilers in here, so please look away if you want everything to be a surprise.
There was some casting news previously, notably that there would be a new ‘companion’ in Danny Pink, a teacher at Coal Hill School. Whether he is a real companion traveling with the Doctor in the tardis remains to be seen. Also joining the cast is a younger girl, who will play his sister, a pupil at the school. Don’t forget Clara was a teacher there as well.
Let me just get my checklist out… Okay, Ian? Check. Barbara? Check. Susan? Check. Older Doctor? Check. It looks like they may be setting things up to mirror the original crew of the tardis. What does this mean for series 8? Are they going to battle cave men and try to start fire? Meet Marco Polo again? Unlikely, but a possible return to that original dynamic is exciting and intriguing!
It’s been a long wait since it was announced that Peter Capaldi would take over the role of the Doctor last fall. Though we still have MONTHS to go before Series 8 starts up, here’s a little something to pass the time.
Peter Capaldi is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Radio Times, which is out now. Not only that, but Steven Moffat gives an interview and talks about Day Of The Doctor and what he looks for in a new Doctor.
“When you choose a Doctor, you want somebody who is utterly compelling, attractive in a very odd way. None of the Doctors are conventionally attractive, but they’re all arresting. Handsome men don’t quite suit. Matt Smith’s a young, good-looking bloke from one angle but is actually the strangest looking man from another. You need that oddity…”

Interview with Rob Lloyd, host of The Science of Doctor Who
Andrew had a chance to sit down with Rob and talk about all things Who!
Can’t wait for Capaldi’s first regular appearance? Neither can Andrew, that’s why he dove into Peter’s other big show, having a marathon viewing!
The Quest is the quest, as they said in Underworld. And the Doctor Who Missing Episodes Group on Facebook is on a quest to reach 1000 members. Did they make it yet?
We had a couple of Polls this week, both of them related to the omnirumour. First up, did the article in DWM a couple weeks ago change your mind about anything? And more recently, do you think a kickstarter fund would be a viable option that fans could use to help get possible missing episodes returned faster? If you haven’t voted in one or both of those polls, please, go ahead, make your voice heard!
Missing Episodes: Season 3 part 2
On the topic of missing episodes, Andrew looked at the latter half of season three, from The Feast of Stephen right through to the War Machines.
