Why are we waiting?

 So we have Doctor Who back on our screens and Sarah Jane and the gang will be back for at least two series of The Sarah Jane Adventures but why are we waiting for confirmation on Torchwood? Last year in July Torchwood Children of Earth was shown over five consecutive nights on BBC One to good reviews and high viewing figures peaking at 6.2 milion viewers! Since then we havent herad anything about the new series only a few whispers here and there.  John Barrowman claimed that he knows nothing about the future of  Torchwood.In a  interview with Digital Spy, the singer-actor said that he would love to do another series, but is unsure if it will go ahead.A ray of hope comes from  Russell T. Davies saying that a fourth series of  Torchwood is in the works and is hoping to get started on the new run in January 2010. That was RTD speaking last year and we still havent heard anything from the BBC officialy. So the future of Torchwood looks unsure lets hope its not the last we've seen of Jack, Ianto (oh no hes dead), Toshiko (oh and her), Owen (him too) and Gwen.

The Eleventh Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver

The Doctor has had many sonic screwdrivers of different designs throughout his life, and this latest one was created from within the TARDIS console itself after the previous one was destroyed during a confrontation with Prisoner Zero in the village of Leadworth. This new sonic is larger, with a luminous green light but continues to be an essential part of the Doctor’s equipment as he explores the universe. This faithful copy of the Doctor’s trusty Sonic Device has spring loaded extending action. Pressing the button on the side of the handle activates the LED and Sound FX which operates in CLOSED mode. Flip open the cap at the end of the Screwdriver to reveal an additional button that activates the light and sound effects when it is in full extension OPEN mode. Available now!

When he returns to her life after twelve years, he’s still wearing the same battered clothes but, shortly before facing down the Atraxi, he selects for himself a new outfit, ‘borrowed’ from various lockers at the local hospital.

The Eleventh Hour Review ***** (Five stars)

Best Bit: Amy Ponds legs! Oh best bit of the episode.. ah.....FISH CUSTARD!
Worst Bit: I liked it all really i genuinely cant think of anything!
Best Character: Prisoner Zero for me he looked so slimy yet kind of cute. 
Line Of The Episode: The Doctor: Amy Pond, there's something you better understand about me, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. I am definitely a madman with a box!

Last night we got our first new adventure in months and was it worth the wait? Well simply yes it was. Fun, exciting, spooky and sleek are all words that i would use to describe that brilliat debut for Matt Smith our Eleventh Doctor. The story to start was back to classic Who the Doctor saving the world and joining forces with peole he has met. Last years specials focused on David Tennants departure and had a bleak tone to the episodes but now thats over its about time we had some fun. The monsters were pretty good the Face tendril and Atraxi. The effects didnt look as good as they usually do and disguising them as humans always cuts the budget but who cares they were new and exciting like every thing else! Of course the arc begins in this episode "silence will fall" a bit like the darkness in Series 4 when it meant Davros and The Daleks coming back. Now onto the performances and Matt and Karen.... Fantastic! Matt excelled in the role playing a scene for  laughs if needed or a sense of fear if needed and his mad attitude is reminicent of our previous Doctor turned up a 100! Ive almost forgotten about the new titles and guess what i love them too! The music isnt as dynamic as it used to be but it will grow on me im sure. At the end we get a look at the new Tardis which will take us to the far future and back in time  and  a look at Amy's wedding dress! So a Doctor Who wedding it cant be worse than a Torchwood one! I dont think by far this is the best episode of the series i think there is better to come! Until next week ummm i need a catchphrase! Ill think of one by next week tra.

The Eleventh Hour Tonight

 So as if you needed reminding the new series starts tonight! Im so glad i can stop going on about how close it is because its actually here! Im also kind of glad those trailers wont be on anymore.

3. Un plug the phone and ignore the door! (Ok dont unplug the phone unless you parents approve!)

4. Make sure your sofa is ready for you to leap behind! This is a Moffat story you have been warned.
