Viewers would prefer Ewan McGregor over Matt Smith as next Doctor Who
23 December 2009 3:47 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
When David Tennant hands over the keys to the Tardis on New Year's Day it will be the end of the most popular incarnation of Doctor Who of all time.
But there's bad news for new Doctor Matt Smith. In a poll of British TV viewers, more than 21 per cent of respondents put Ewan McGregor as their first choice to take over as the new Time Lord, with Matt Smith coming sixth.
Research commissioned by leading comparison site Gocompare.com reveals that of the 10 Doctors we've seen so far David Tennant is easily the most popular, with over 45 per cent naming him as their favourite.
Tom Baker, who played the Doctor from 1974 to 1981 in his trademark hat and long woolly scarf, was second with nearly 20 per cent of the votes, and Jon Pertwee's 'dandy' Doctor was third with just over 10 per cent. Tom Baker was the most popular Doctor among 36-to-40-year-olds. »

'Doctor Who's hammiest ever villains
24 October 2009 11:00 PM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Doctor Who is more about entertainment than social realism and the show has relied on a procession of baddies to raise the hackles of the audience. Not always do we end up scuttling behind the sofa though, as on occasions certain over-the-top performances have provoked cringes and guffaws instead. In the wake of Elisabeth Sladen’s hamtastic turn as the Androvax-possessed Sarah Jane, we look at some other 'interesting' depictions of villainy in the Whoniverse over the years... Soldeed Graham Crowden’s performance in the 1979 story ‘The Horns Of Nimon’ is the purest piece of unadulterated ham in Who history. Theatrical is not the word. Stomping around the corridors of a spaceship with a wild-eyed glare and scowl, he delivered some shocking dialogue in the most overly enunciated pantomime-esque style possible. "You are all doomed. Dooooomed!!" (more) »

#Sdcc: Doctor Who, David Tennant and 'The End Of Time'
26 July 2009 11:51 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
In one of the most anticipated panels of the day, writer/executive producer Russell T Davies, David Tennant, director Euros Lyn, and executive producer Julie Gardner (not pictured) discuss their creative process and experiences working on Doctor Who, television's longest-running science fiction series, along with a few tips and teases about what's to come in the (sob) short time left.
While there was healthy applause for Davies, Lyn and Gardner at the beginning of the panel, the crowd went wild for the entrance of Tennant, wearing a glittering Stormtrooper T-shirt and jeans. He was a bit mock-taken aback-- "they told us nobody knows Doctor Who in America."
Pretty quickly they went stright into the trailer for Tennant's finale on the show, "The End of Time" airing Christmas 2009, featuring the return of Donna Noble, her grandpa, and the Master. After showing of the trailer, Tennant said it went by too fast »

New Image and Set Video of the Next ‘Doctor Who’
21 July 2009 11:30 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Not many people are ready for David Tennant, the current Doctor Who, to leave the show and pass the baton to youngster Matt Smith, but people have to embrace change, and with it comes a new picture of Smith and a fun new set video. One of the big changes is the new look of The Doctor: a tweed jacket, bow tie, rolled up trousers and black boots, which seems a bit timely for a character that is supposed to be thousands of years old.
Alongside Smith is Karen Gillan, who will be playing the 11th doctors traveling companion. With Gillan only 21 and Smith 26, there is a lot of harsh feelings that the new doctor/companion relationship will be more like Twilight rather than the series that has been airing on and off since the 50s. Check out the set video from BBC News after the jump.

Sigourney Weaver's Ripley named top woman in sci-fi
8 June 2009 2:28 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Sigourney Weaver'S iconic character Ellen Ripley from the Alien film series has been named the top female in science fiction.
She topped a list of The 25 Women Who Shook Sci-Fi compiled by Totalscifionline.com, with Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Buffy Summers, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, in second place, and Battlestar Galactica's Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) third.
From the comic book world, the list features the movie portrayals of Storm and Catwoman and Lynda Carter's iconic 70s TV version of Wonder Woman.
Ripley first appeared in Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), emerging as the sole survivor of the Nostromo's encounter with an acid-blooded xenomorph. The character was originally written as a male role before 20th Century Fox executive Alan Ladd Jr suggested they change the gender to make the protagonist stand out.
Matt McAllister, editor of Totalscifionline.com said: "Ripley is one of cinema's seminal characters. She is strong, »
