Doctor Who British science fiction TV series 1963 British TV series or programme The series is a significant part of popular culture in Britain[1][2][3] and elsewhere; it has gained a cult following. It has influenced generations of British television professionals, many of whom grew up watching the series.[4] Fans of the series are sometimes referred to as Whovians. The series is listed in Guinness World Records as the longest-running science-fiction television series in the world,[5] as well as the "most successful" science-fiction series of all time, based on its overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, and iTunes traffic.[6] Premise History —Philip Hinchcliffe, producer of Doctor Who from 1974 to 1977, on why the "classic series" eventually fell behind other science fiction in production values and reputation, leading to its cancellation[14] Licensed media such as novels and audio plays provided new stories, but as a television programme, Doctor Who remained dormant until 2003.

David Tennant Prior to playing the Doctor, Tennant also portrayed several characters in various Big Finish Audio Adventures. Biography Edit Before Doctor Who Edit David grew up in Ralston, Renfrewshire, where his father was the local minister, and later Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Moving to London in the early 1990s, Tennant lodged with comic actress and writer Arabella Weir, with whom he became close friends and later godfather to one of her children. Doctor Who He has also parodied the Doctor on several occasions, such as in a Comic Relief skit with future companion Catherine Tate, a Dead Ringers skit in which he portrayed a "regenerated" Tony Blair, and as the Doctor himself in the final episode of Extras. In January 2006, Tennant took a one-day break from shooting Doctor Who to play Richard Hoggart in a dramatisation of the 1960 Lady Chatterley's Lover obscenity trial. After Doctor Who
The Ultimate Guide to 2012's Science Fiction and Fantasy TV Misfits is certainly edgier than any America superhero show on now or before. The kids have killed what 4 people so far? A few that didn't even need to be killed either so they're aren't really even heros just idiots with super powers. So it would make sense to want to make an American version just that for it get aired on anything other than cable in America they'd have to tone it down so much that it would lose the edge that made it unique. So I agree with you making an American version is dumb but for different reasons. I'd argue that Life on Mars at least had exactly the problem you're describing - the show was very culturally specific and was destroyed by the translation. I've always thought of Misfits as "the British version of Heroes," but there's nothing specifically British about the characters and situation (super-powered disaffected teenagers could be anywhere). I agree, I think it'll fail. People still tune in for House, so, Americans can like assholes.
Doctor Who review: 'Heaven Sent' is a mind-bending masterpiece "Let me be brave," whispered a doomed Clara Oswald last week. She could take a tip from BBC One - it requires balls to air one of Doctor Who's most experimental, risky and downright odd episodes to date on a Saturday evening in the wake of gushy glitter-fest Strictly Come Dancing. 'Heaven Sent' is an adventure so deliberately dark and obtuse that it's practically begging for a divided reaction. What's known in 'the industry' as a single-hander, it features no (major) speaking parts other than Peter Capaldi's Time Lord. But writer Steven Moffat cleverly subverts the expectation that this'll be a low-budget escapade, with a surplus of Capaldi awkwardly expressing his inner thoughts aloud. Early on, he's tough-talking the unseen presence that's brought him to this "killer puzzle box" in the middle of a vast ocean. There's the impossibly quick thinking that allows him to escape certain death. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below TARDIS Scanner: - So the Doctor is the Hybrid.

They’re on the whiteboards around Dan Harmon’s office, on sheets tacked to his walls, on a notepad on the floor of his car. Harmon, 38, is the creator of Community, a sitcom about a group of community-college study buddies and the most giddily experimental show on network TV. 1. Harmon calls his circles embryos—they contain all the elements needed for a satisfying story—and he uses them to map out nearly every turn on Community, from throwaway gags to entire seasons. Harmon tells me this over dinner on a midsummer night in Hollywood. Harmon has dedicated the past three years to Community, the story of a fast-talking lawyer named Jeff Winger (played by Joel McHale) who is disbarred and forced to slum it in a community college. Not that Harmon seems to be enjoying any of this.

The Future of the Paternoster Gang David Selby ponders where things could head next for the trio. Series Eight, it seems, will see changes to most of the show’s status quo: the Doctor has lost his title as the Last of the Time Lords and has taken on a newer, more capricious incarnation, changing his dynamic with the companion; the Siege of Trenzalore is over and the Silence would appear to be a thing of the past, and even smaller changes, such as a redly-lit, bookshelf-filled TARDIS console room only represent the greater shifts in the show as a whole. Yet moving onto a new era, the show-runner has decided to keep the Paternoster Gang: a broad label referring to the characters of Madame Vastra, the ‘Great Detective’ of Victorian London, her human wife, Jenny Flint and their unconventional butler, Sontaran Commander Strax. At present, there is abundant potential in the Paternoster Gang. The Great Detective “You realise Doctor Doyle is almost certainly basing his fantastical tales on your own exploits?

Director David Fincher Takes On The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo | Magazine Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.Photo: Merrick Morton A few months ago, David Fincher was having a problem with his new movie. This in itself wasn’t especially surprising, as Fincher’s productions seem to attract crises of the cosmic-joke variety, be they midshoot injuries (Se7en), last-minute casting switcheroos (Panic Room), or on-the-fly script rewrites (Alien3). Despite the director’s meticulous planning—he can spend years preparing for a film—something usually goes awry. But this latest battle was unique. For much of the past year, Fincher has been filming The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, his roughly $100 million adaptation of the macabre Swedish mystery that centers on a punk-hacker heroine with distinctive skin art. When Fincher began planning the reshoot, he learned that the property had been sold to one of the guys in ABBA. The mass murder and hate-sex in Dragon Tattoo is proof that your mom has been reading some weird stuff lately.
