[Yelreve]

For some reason I think it looks a lot more plasticy and fake to me :s

From the looks of things I think it's going to be a bit different from what we are use to, but I think it's time for a change.

James Corden to star in 'Doctor Who'?

James Corden has landed a role in Doctor Who, according to tabloid reports.

The Sun says that the Gavin & Stacey star was spotted on a train learning lines for the show while en route to the set in Cardiff.

A show insider is quoted as saying: "We normally keep our guest stars under wraps but you can't hide a bloke like James.

"And now he's not coming to Wales for Gavin & Stacey anymore, it's pretty obvious why he is here. James loves coming to Wales. And it gives him a chance to meet up with Ruth Jones, who co-wrote Gavin and Stacey with him and starred as Nessa."

The source added: "We're just delighted to have James on board. He is a great actor and he'll be a perfect fit for the new Doctor Who."

This morning, show officials refused to confirm or deny the story, telling DS: "We do not comment on casting or storyline speculation."

SFX194, on sale 10 March, is going to have a very special cover indeed ? a specially commissioned, eye-popping 3D image of Matt Smith as Doctor Who, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and a couple of Weeping Angels lurking about the place too. The animated gif here gives you an idea what to expect (just click on it to see what we mean), but you really need to see the real thing in all its glory when it hits the shelves in a couple of weeks' time.

The cover was created with the full association of the Doctor Who production team. SFX's art team popped down to Cardiff last month to conduct the exclusive photoshoot, to create an exciting image you'll see nowhere else. The issue also includes a massive nine-page feature on the new series of Doctor Who, including all-new interviews with Matt, Karen and Steve Moffat.

I must buy that.

We'd hoped that U.S. viewers would get the new series of Doctor Who within a day or so of the British airing, as happened with David Tennant's swansong. Alas, it's not to be. The Matt Smith episodes will air on BBC America starting April 17, or two weeks after the U.K.'s April 3 start date. We'll probably do what we did with Torchwood: "Children Of Earth", which had a similar delay ? a slight recap after the U.K. airing, followed by something more in-depth after the U.S. airing. But we'll see how it goes. The press release also includes a few spoilers:

Travelling both through time and space, the new series has the mysterious Doctor and Amy Pond together exploring sixteenth century Venice, France during the 1890s and the United Kingdom in the far future, now an entire nation floating in space. The first three episodes of the 13-episode series have been confirmed as The Eleventh Hour, written by Steven Moffat, The Beast Below, also by Moffat and Victory of the Daleks by Mark Gatiss.

More set reports, some of which Bluehinter mentioned in yesterday's comments. They're filming what's believed to be episode seven, in which a random gang of old people wander around a playground wielding walkers, umbrellas and various other things. Rory (Amy's fiance) is there, and some onlookers said Amy looks pregnant ? which could mean it's set in the future, or that it's some sort of alien pregnancy like what happened to Gwen on Torchwood. Another theory is that if it's true that one episode is called "The Lodger," that could refer to Amy's baby.

I don't mind the small delay. At least we don't have to wait a year or so like we did at one time.

Lots of athletic activity going on there.

[Rappy Veteran]

"The Lodger" and is based on a DW comic strip where the

TARDIS materializes on Earth, kicks out the Doctor and dematerializes with the companion still inside. The TARDIS is somehow shunted forward about a week, leaving the Doctor to stay with someone on Earth while he waits for it to catch up. During this time, he hangs out with James Corden and plays a game of football, among other things!

Hate to say it but i really dislike the new trailer, seems like a cross between grange hill and hollyoaks!

However i still can't wait for the series to start and some of the story lines sound awesome!
