With the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials just around the corner, all eyes were on the BBC’s annual Children In Need TV fundraiser when it was announced we’d be getting a special scene featuring the first proper look at David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor, alongside comedian Mawaan Rizwan.
Written by showrunner Russell T Davies, the scene promised the Doctor will uncover “an age old mystery involving one of his oldest foes”, and – as Rizwan’s uniform suggested in the preview photo – it was the Daleks.
Except, as we quickly discovered, they weren’t called the Daleks yet! Watch the clip below:
There was one particular detail in the five-minute scene which made Whovians lose their minds, as an iconic character returned:
Julian Bleach Is Back As Davros!
Bleach played Davros, creator of the Daleks, back in both 2008 and 2015, and he returned in humanoid form to witness his...

A few years before directing Dracula and Freaks, Tod Browning made a silent horror film titled London After Midnight. Starring Lon Chaney as “The Hypnotist,” the 65-minute film was distributed by MGM in December of 1927; though audiences saw it upon release, it’s likely that everyone who did is no longer with us. Sadly, the last known copy was destroyed in the infamous MGM vault fire of 1967, which tragically resulted in the loss of many classic films.
We may never lay eyes on Tod Browning’s London After Midnight, but those who’ve been salivating to experience it may be excited to hear that a full-cast audio drama is on the way.
Scripted Audio Drama producers Lance Roger Axt, Jack Bowman and Kenton Hall have meticulously adapted the original screenplay by Waldemar Young and Tod Browning as an immersive Dolby Atmos aural experience, with the recording taking place over two...

Which picture do you most strongly associate with Vincent Van Gogh? For me it's actually The Starry Night, but for most people it's Sunflowers - or at least, one version of Sunflowers. There were originally 12 of them, painted in two series, but one was lost during the bombing of Japan in the Second World War. This film visits the survivors in galleries around the world and tells the story of how they came about.
Part of the Exhibition On Screen series, this is a documentary very much focused on the art itself. We've all heard the dramatic details of the artist's life before, and although it's necessary to touch on them here, most of the biographical detail supplied is limited to the specific period when the paintings were made, and to the interactions with Gauguin which contributed to Van Gogh's approach. Director David Bickerstaff is concerned that because most of.

"A revealing exhibition of triumph and tragedy." Exhibition On Screen has unveiled an official trailer for their latest art documentary offering, titled simply Sunflowers. The Exhibition On Screen series is about taking us closer into the art world and sharing new details with everyone watching these films in cinemas, without having to go a museum or gallery. This time they focus on the Sunflowers paitnings by the iconic Vincent Van Gogh. Director David Bickerstaff explains: "This cinematic journey brought the sunflowers series into sharper focus for me and revealed a new insight to the tragic circumstances that followed. [...] Drama, struggle and a passion for life can be seen in every dash of paint in the Sunflower paintings. In my opinion, each one shows an honesty and a virtuosity that speaks to the enduring power of an extraordinary artist, who lived an extraordinary life." It features five of the famous Arles Sunflowers from collections in London,...

The creation of a theatrical smash is tracked in Making War Horse.
Making War Horse is a 50-minute documentary film that tells the story of how Michael Morpurgo’s acclaimed children’s novel War Horse was transformed into one of the most popular and acclaimed productions in the history of England’s National Theatre.

Directed by David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky (Half Life: A Journey to Chernobyl), the 2009 documentary tracks War Horse from its early development in the National Theatre Studio and follows how the Handspring Puppet Company created the ground-breaking techniques that brought a stylized horse to life on the stage.
