Is Nintendo developing a Doctor Who game for their Wii console? We think yes, The Sun reports that BBC Worldwide have secured a multi-million (10 Million pounds to be precise) contract with Nintendo to develope a Doctor Who game for their two main consoles, the Wii and DS.
The game is said to be in the early stages of production and will feature Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor with monsters and villians such as Cybermen, Daleks and Silurians. A BBC insider has said “This has been in the pipeline for years. We’re delighted to have finally nailed down a deal. We went with Nintendo as they have huge appeal for families and Doctor Who is very much a family brand.” and “The Wii console is key for us as it’s something families play together.”
The Inside added “BBC Worldwide, which licenses BBC shows, has been trying to find some way of doing it. But you can’t have Doctor Who blowing things to bits with a laser gun. That would massively change the nature of the show”.
Also The Sun talked to 10th Doctor David Tennat about the issues involved with it being kept from coming out before now was the treatment of the Doctor’s charater. Tennant said that “The video game was quite actively developed, but it’s difficult to nail as the Doctor doesn’t blow things up. He’s not Batman, who goes around smacking people in the head.”
It has been said that the production will be kept close under BBC supervision in the key production stages from becoming to violent.
The BBC Press Office have announced that Doctor Who Spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures is being re-commissioned for another two series. It has been said that series four will begin production at the end of this month (aparently on the 29th), both series will consist of twelve episodes around twenty-five minutes long. Doctor Who and Torchwood Script-writer Brian Minchin will take over as producer, who will be working with co-producer Phil Ford, with Russel T Davies and Doctor Who producer Nikki Wilson as executive producers. Writers will include Phil Ford, Joseph Lidster, Rupert Laight, Gareth Roberts and the series will be script-edited by Gareth Russell.
Cast will include all three main characters, Tommy Knight (Luke), Daniel Anthony (Clyde) and Anjli Mohindra (Rani), as well as main character Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith. There has been no mention of K9 returning, so stay sharp for more.
WARNING: The following contains potential spoilers, although the following does not reveal any proper info just some dialouge. Please don’t read if you don’t want spoilers.
Thanks to the good ol’ internet, even more spoilers are being leaked from production of series 5. The latest being an extract from suposably the sixth episode entitled “Vampires in Venace”. From what we gathered from the S5 trailer there seems to be an episode revolded around vampires, and yes the location seems most likely venice.
Here is a excpert from episode Sixth episode entitled Vampires In Venice written by Toby Whithouse:
THE DOCTOR (CONT’D)
I want Rory to see it too. So I’m sending you somewhere. Together.
AMY
What, like a date?
THE DOCTOR
Anywhere you want, any time you want. One condition: it has to be amazing. The Moulin Rouge in 1890! The first Olympic games! Think of it as a wedding present. Because frankly it’s either this or tokens.
AMY
What do you think Rory?
Rory says nothing. Still hunched against his pillar. The Doctor smiles understandingly. He knows what this is about.
THE DOCTOR
It’s a lot to take in, isn’t it. Tiny box, huge room inside: what’s that about? Let me explain…
Give us your thoughts on this, thank you to Life, Doctor Who and Combom for the image and cheers to Blogter Who for the excpert.
With everybody attention firmly fixed on the next series of Doctor Who, we happened to hear from a little bird that the scariest Dr Who monsters by far are returning for another round at trying to capture the TARDIS.
Yes, the Weeping Angels are back, and as the latest trailer reveals they don’t come in peace. You have to admit with a spine chilling episode such as Blink under his belt, Executive Producer Moffat has to know what he’s doing and with the return of the Weeping Angels it only confirms my faith in him. I was recently asked by a friend what my favourite episode of Dr Who was, and I answered straight away as Blink, plainly becuase it was the scariest episode since…well forever. Regardless of the main veiwers being children as young a 5, Moffat brang forth a geniune and utterly amazing episode that changed the course of Dr Who forever and as the new series looms I can only wait in anticipation as further details appear.
The BBC has commissioned a 3D trailer for cinemas to boost the new series. The trailer featuring Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor and is assistant Amy Pond (Karen Gillian) will be screened reportedly before Alice In Wonderland hits the screen this year.
The converted trailer will be broadcasted on BBC One this weekend (only for our UK readers), who knows whether it will work or not. I personally think it’s a great road to head down, Doctor Who is meant to be the next best thing to getting a time machine – so what better to do then launch it into the new decade by the Doctor hitting us in the face with the force of 3D.
NOTE: Just a reminder for all you non UK readers that this (sadly) does not apply to you and you will have to wait for quiet some time. But for all the UK readers, this trailer will hit the screens soon so be ready when it does.
