Gavin and Stacey Star to join Doctor Who?

This is from The Daily Star need I say anymore! Joanna Page who starred in the BBC hit comedy Gavin and Stacey will be appearing in Doctor Who as a "long-lost relative of the Time Lord in two episodes". So who's the realtive? The article goes on to say "Like Freema Agyeman, who initially landed a role as a scientist before becoming the Doctor’s assistant, bosses hope Joanna, 32, will have a “big future” in the show." Well it could be true but I'm rather sceptical. They're very quick to get the Gavin and Stacey stars as James Corden who also starred in it is in the Series 5 episode The Lodger! Anyway we will find out soon enough if this is just another load of tabloid nonsense.

New Series 5 episode titles

Two new titles from Series 5 have been released and its about time! Episode 10  is titled Vincent and the Doctor and Episode 11 written by Gareth Roberts is titled The Lodger. So there you go.....

The Series 5 story Arc: The Vampires of Venice

 Less information than last week about the Cracks and The Pandorica but The Vampires Of Venice did give us some things to think about. Here is what we found out: ( See my last post about all we know so far here)

1. Rosanna tells The Doctor why they came to Earth and mentions the Cracks and the silence. Here is the dialogue when The doctor confronts Rosanna:

 Doctor: “Why are you here?”
Rosanna: “We ran from the silence.”
Doctor: “The silence?”
Rosanna: “There were cracks. Some were tiny, some were as big as the sky. Through some we saw worlds and people. And through others we saw silence…and the end of all things. We fled to an ocean like ours and the crack snap shut behind us. Saturnyne was lost.”

2. The Doctor turns off the Saturnyians Device and looks up to the sky were the rain has stopped.But look at the cloud. Is it a crack? Rosanna said some were as big as the sky...

3.Near the end Venice is bustling with activity but before entering the TARDIS  The Doctor notices everything has gone silent.The people who were around have vanished!

4.The Doctor walks into the TARDIS regardless and the camera zooms into the TARDIS keyhole. Is the keyhole a crack? Or a symbol of something else?

The Series 5 Story arc: What we know so far....

 Every series of New Who has had a story arc of some kind and this one is no different. Series 1 had Bad Wolf, Series Two had Torchwood, Series Three had Mr saxon and Series Four had The Darkness/Ood Prophecy. Series Five's Arc has been puzzling Whovians across the world heres a episode by episode account of what we know so far....

Episode One-The Eleventh Hour

1.The First Crack is seen on Young Amy Ponds wall  and on the other side is a Atraxi Jail.

2.A shadowy figure sweeps past when The Doctor leaves Young Amy Pond and the camera goes back into the house. (Not shown in this pic although I will try and find one)

3.The Pandorica is mentioned by Prisoner Zero "The Pandorica will open. Silence will fall."

 4.There are no ducks in the duck pond in the village of Leadworth.

5.A crack appears on the TARDIS monitor screen.


Episode Two-The Beast Below

 1.Another crack can be seen at the end of the story, on the side of Starship UK.

Episode Three- Victory of the Daleks

1.A crack is seen on a wall in the Cabinet War rooms 1941 after the TARDIS dematerializes.

 2.Amy does not remember the Daleks from the previous invasion over London or the Medusa Cascade incident which seems strange to The Doctor.


 Episode Four- The Time Of Angels

 1.Amy is targeted by The Angel which may have something to do with the theme of the cracks following her and the Angel gets into her eye which may have a other affects later on.

 Episode Five- Flesh and Stone

 1. There is another crack in the wall on the Byzantium ship. After investigating, The Doctor concludes that these  are cracks is the end of the universe. We learn the crack will erase everything from time so that it never existed in the first place. The Doctor speculates that this is why nobody remembered the Cyber-King in Victorian London  and explains why Amy has forgotten about the Daleks.

 2.There appears to be two doctors one from the present and one from the future. There is a scene where the Doctor without his Jacket leaves a blinded Amy in the woods. Seconds later the Doctor suddenly reappears and speaks to Amy , but this time he has his tweed jacket on, even though the Angels took it. So could this be a Doctor from the future? Here is the dialogue when The Doctor reappears:

Doctor: “Amy, I need you to start trusting me. It’s important.”

Amy: “But you don’t always tell me the truth.”

Doctor: “If I always told you the truth, I wouldn’t need you to trust me.”

Amy: “Doctor, the crack in my wall. How can it be here?”

Doctor: “I don’t know yet but I’m working it out…Remember what I told you when you were seven?”

Amy: “What did you tell me?”

Doctor: “No. That’s not the point…You have to remember…” 

3.The date 26/06/2010 is when “the date of the explosion where the crack begins”. At the end of the episode, Amy’s alarm clock changes over to reveal it is the same day of her wedding.S aturday 26th June 2010 is the broadcast date of the last episode of Series 5 if there is not a gap because of Eurovision.

4.River Song has been to jail for killing a man "A very good man…the best man i’ve ever known.” Is this the Doctor?

Anything else you have spotted let me know dont be shy! I will continue to do this kind of post for the remainder of the series after every episode now so if you have missed something it will be on here. Its all very exciting!

Bit late I know! With all this Fanfic ive been falling behind anyway new titles are Cold Blood which is Episode 9 and Vincent and the Doctor which is episode 10. Cold Blood  is the second part of a two part story the first titled The Hungry Earth which was revealed the other day. Cold Blood is written by Chris Chibnall and Vincent and The Doctor is by Richard Curtis.

How many lives does a Timelord have?

 Its a question we have all wanted to know the answer too and we might just get one this series.It was thought to be 12 lives but we dont actually know for sure.

Speaking to Sci fi site Newsarama Moffats says:

 “It’s been addressed in a very, very cheeky way by an old friend of mine and I’m not going to tell you any more about that, wait and see.”

Also Matt Smith had this to say about the series Arc:

Smith told the crowd it’s seen in the very first episode. “Albeit, not in the most conventional form. You’re going to have to think about it and find out what it is, but it’s in there,” he said. “And that’s the one, that’s what takes us through the whole series and my god, it’s bad.”

Lets hope this isnt all the same waffle Russel T Davies gave us during his era hyping it up and  turning out to be not that good in the end. Im sure it will be brilliant!  Thanks to Whoviannet for alerting me to this :) The whole interview thingy is here.

Doctor Who Series 5 Coming up!

The Radio Times Episode Guide!

1. The Eleventh Hour

Quote: “Who da man?”

Geronimo! A brand new Doctor crashing to Earth. New face, new body, new man. And he’s barely staggered out of the blue box, before he’s found himself in the middle of the Crisis That Just Won’t Stop! No time to rest and recover, no TARDIS, no screwdriver – just six billion human beings about to die and only one man to save them. But the new Doctor encounters more than danger – this is the day he meets Amy Pond. Can he persuade her to trust him, when he’s been letting her down all her life?

2. The Beast Below

Quote: “Nobody talk to me! Nobody human has anything to say to me today!”

The Doctor takes Amy to the far future, and Starship UK. The British people, adrift among the stars on a giant spaceship, in search of a new home. But there are secrets here, in the rusting corridors and clanging hallways. A masked figure, who knows the Doctor of old, begs his help, while Amy encounters the terrifying Smilers, and uncovers a secret so dreadful, no one can remember it…

3. Victory of the Daleks

Quote: “I wanted to know what their plan was. I was their plan!”

From the terrifying future of the United Kingdom to one of the darkest chapters of its past – World War Two. The Doctor and Amy find themselves in a top-secret cabinet war room deep beneath the London streets. And there, gliding among the nicotine walls and Bakelite telephones, the Daleks are hatching their deadliest scheme yet. Only one man can help the Doctor – who whose side is Winston Churchill on?

4 & 5. The Time of Angels & Flesh and Stone

Quote: “Is River Song your wife?”

A two-part story. A crashed spaceship, a shattered temple and a terrifying climb through the maze of the dead – River Song is back in the Doctor’s life, and she’s brought more trouble than ever he can handle. The last of the Weeping Angels is loose in the ruins of Alfava Metraxis, and the Doctor is recruited to track it down. “Don’t blink!” everyone tells Amy – but as Amy is about to discover, not blinking might just be the worst thing you can do…

6. Vampires in Venice

Quote: “You know what’s dangerous about you? Not that you ask people to take risks, but that you make them want to impress you!”

In Venice, even danger is beautiful. The House of Calvierri has the whole city under its protection, but something is very wrong. There are blood-drained corpses in the street, something lurks in the canal, and the Calvierri girls are the loveliest in town, except when you glance in the mirror…

7. Amy’s Choice

Quote: “I know who you are. There’s only one person in the universe who hates me as much as you do.”

It’s been five long years since Amy travelled in the TARDIS with her mysterious Doctor – and when he shows up again, on the eve of the birth of her first child, danger is not far behind him. Amy is faced with a heartbreaking choice that will change her life forever.

8 & 9. TBA

Quote: “While you’ve been drilling down… something else has been drilling up.”

In 2015, the most ambitious drilling project in history is under way. Dr Nasreen Chaudhry and her team have reached 21 kilometres into the Earth’s crust – but something is stirring far below. Amy Pond discovers there’s nowhere to run when you can’t even trust the ground at your feet.

10. TBA

Quote: “Art can wait, this is life and death. We need to talk to Vincent van Gogh!”

Terror lurks in the cornfields of Provence, but only a sad and lonely painter can see it. Amy Pond finds herself shoulder to shoulder with Vincent van Gogh, in a battle with a deadly alien – saving the world has never been so ginger! But can even the Doctor save Vincent?

11. TBA

Quote: “All I have to do is pass as an ordinary human being. What could possibly go wrong?”

The Doctor faces his greatest challenge yet – a flat share! People are disappearing on Aickman Road, and the Doctor must solve the mystery of a staircase that people wak up – but never down.

12 & 13. TBA

Quote: “There was a goblin. Or a trickster, or a warrier. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. Nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it – one day it would just drop out of the sky, and tear down your world.”

A message on the oldest cliff-face in the universe, a puzzle box opening from the inside and a love that lasts thousands of years… The fates are drawing close around the TARDIS – is this the day the Doctor falls?
