It’s only a few weeks now until the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who arrives on our screens (and our 3D cinema screens, too). Although we know very little about it in terms of plot, we do know Steven Moffat’s written it and it will feature Matt Smith, David Tennant, Jenna Louise Coleman, Billie Piper, John Hurt and, of course, our Joanna Page.
And here they all are talking about it. Well, apart from Hurt and Pipes. Apologies to everyone who doesn’t live in these fair isles if it turns out that these are only viewable in the UK.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
