Doctor Who Christmas Adventure Set 2010

A high-quality image of the previously announced Amy Pond kissogram action figure has been released online, showing it as part of the ‘Christmas Adventure Set’ along with the Eleventh Doctor and his new TARDIS.

The figure of the Doctor included in this set has a light brown shirt, with a slightly altered tweed jacket. Amy Pond is wearing her kissogram policewoman outfit as seen in ‘The Eleventh Hour’, which was made into a figure due to high demand.

The Christmas Adventure Set 2010 is now available to pre-order from the official Forbidden Planet website at the price of £26.99, and is expected to arrive at their warehouse on 20th December 2010.

To get into the festive spirit, this blog has had a minor makeover with a slightly altered Christmas-themed banner, and lots of falling snow! The direction of the snow can be controlled by moving your mouse from left to right across the screen.

There is also a link on the side toolbar which takes you to the exclusive Christmas Advent Calendar 2010.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Doctor Who Game 'The Mazes of Time' News

It has been announced that a brand new Doctor Who game will be released for Apple’s iPhone, iPod and iPad for Christmas, with mobile games designer Tag Games unveiling ‘The Mazes of Time’.

The game will allow the player to take on the role of either the Eleventh Doctor or Amy Pond, and play action puzzles where the time travellers race to save a family that has been attacked by a rogue Dalek. The story is written by Oli Smith, who was also responsible for the recent Nintendo games ‘Evacuation Earth’ and ‘Return to Earth’.

The Head of Games Technology, Robert Henning, said: “Doctor Who is the UK's number one science fiction property, and I think it is in the BBC's top three for worldwide sales, so it is great to bring it to Dundee. Since we were established we have never done a game for ordinary retail — it has always been digital distribution. The digital model allows us to talk directly to our customers, so it is quite different from the traditional games model. We can get feedback from our customers and change and adapt things.”

Doctor Who Winter Projects Coming Soon

Today is exactly one month before the start of winter, and so it feels appropriate to reveal some information about the upcoming winter projects on this blog. These special projects are intended to enhance your enjoyment of the Doctor Who world, as well as celebrate Christmas which is getting ever closer.

The first project is an online advent calendar which has been created exclusively with TheDoctorWhoTimes, who also worked with me on the Sarah Jane’s Monster Hunt week in October. This new project will have its own web address, and will be available to access via a link on this blog. A promotional trailer for this advent calendar project is available to view below.

The other project which I will be working on over winter is a script for Burkey’s brand new Doctor Who series, which will be released in the New Year.

The Tom Baker Calendar 2011 Revealed

It has been revealed that there will be a brand new Tom Baker calendar for 2011, which features photos of the legendary man for all twelve months of the year. The calendars are also personally signed by Tom Baker himself, making it an even more special buy.

These calendars are printed on high quality paper, and are 29.5 cm wide by 42.5 cm high. They are now on sale for £15 each and are available to buy either directly from The Stamp Centre in London, by phone on 020 7836 2341, or online at scificollector.co.uk

The details of this radio special are currently unknown, but the full interview with Fearne Cotton is now available to view via BBC iPlayer.

Autumn Projects Coming Soon to Blink

With the start of a new season, and the Summer special projects of ‘Patient Pluto’ and ‘Blast from the Past’ complete, the attention now turns to the Autumn projects, which will be released over the upcoming months. Prepare yourself for plenty of thrills and scares, and always expect the unexpected!

In October there will be an exclusive two-part story over the Halloween weekend, entitled ‘Whispers in the Attic Room’, which features the Doctor trying to solve the mystery of Widow’s Hall, and the nightmare that lights within. The short horror story will see Doctor Who go in a new and intriguing direction, and is guaranteed to send shivers down your spine…

The second planned Autumn project is in December, and will take the shape of a fun and engaging advent calendar, similar to that seen on the Official Doctor Who site every Christmas. This project will include all the latest photos and news about the 2010 Christmas Special, as well as plenty of games and videos created by Blink to enhance the festive spirit…
