SFX 21 TEASERS FOR THE WEDDING OF RIVER SONG
26 September, 2011 by Conor Doctor Who , Series 6
Check out SFX.co.uk’s exciting 21 teasers for The Wedding of River Song below!
1 First, a heads-up. We didn’t get an office preview of this one because, at Steven Moffat’s request, no previews were sent out. Instead, I had to go to the show’s London PR office for a private screening. But one thing’s for sure – if we had had a preview version in our office, I would have watched the whole thing over again straight away. Sadly, I was a little too embarrassed to ask the PR guys if I could do that there and then. Now I wish I’d gone, “Sod professionalism…”
2 The reason I’d want to watch it again straight away is not because it’s massively complicated and you need to rewatch it to make sense of it. In fact, it’s a surprisingly simple tale, though told in a clever way. No, I wanted to watch it again because a) it’s so rich with detail and b) it’s enormous fun.
3 There is technobabble, but that’s largely a red herring
4 The teaser looks like it was more expensive than the rest of the “back six” put together. It’s a visual and conceptual delight
5 It does answer a lot of questions, but some old ones (from Matt Smith’s first series) are still left open, and some new ones are posed
6 There are many, many glorious special effects sequences
7 The denouement is bound to cause some debate. If you like the episode, you’ll be able to rationalise it, but if you don’t you’ll be going, “But hang on, in that episode…?” But that’s Doctor Who fandom
8 You’ll discover a whole new meaning to the phrase “Live Chess” that has nothing to do with Harry Potter
9 The Doctor wonders if he could be the fifth member of something
10 Wi-fi comes in handy
11 There’s the return of an old look for the Doctor
12 There are some unexpected (truly unexpected) returning characters
13 There’s a moving tribute to an old friend
14 The Doctor offers and eye for an eye patch
15 A big revelation may remind you of Little Britain
16 There are some peculiar postmen
17 Somebody’s portrait looks nothing like them
18 The episode title may not be as much of a red herring as you might think. But then again…
19 Bow ties are not just cool, they’re useful on occasion
20 It’s a bit of a gamechanger
21 The eye patch is explained.
The finale airs this Saturday at 7.10pm on BBC One!

FINALE TEASERS: CHARLES DICKENS IS BACK!
21 September, 2011 by Conor Doctor Who , Series 6
Simon Callow will be taking on the role of Charles Dickens in this years Doctor Who finale, for the first time since 2005 when he appeared alongside the 9th Doctor and Rose! This time however, he will only have a short cameo at the start of “The Wedding of River Song”, where we will see him being interviewed on a modern showing of BBC Breakfast, as it seems time has been scattered.
The Radio Times revealed this tantalising info in a new preview for the finale. Read more from it below!
We have Minis suspended by air balloons, pterodactyls attacking school kids, a train emerging Magritte-like from London’s Gherkin building and Charles Dickens (Simon Callow) discussing A Christmas Carol with Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams on BBC Breakfast. Add to that Winston Churchill hailed as Caesar in present-day London and the Doctor shambling about like a bearded apostle. And all this in the first few minutes.
“Something’s happened to time,” spots Winnie. It’s as if “all of history is happening at once”. The time is two minutes past five and the date is 22 April; so it has been for as long as anyone can remember. Can the Lord of Time sort things out, or did he cause the problem in the first place?
The Wedding of River Song necessarily leads us back to the events of The Impossible Astronaut and the Doctor’s demise at Lake Silencio in Utah, but this shocking moment acts as a pivot, not a dead end, for Moffat’s finale and a barrage of bewildering and bizarre imagery that spools forth.
Is it satisfying after so much anticipation? Well, that will be a matter for you. Loose ends are tied up and, more importantly, the series and its heroes are repositioned in line with Moffat’s vision. Sorry to be so cryptic.
A few things to look out for: pyramids, fixed points in time, “hell in high heels”, “the man who dies again and again”, a phone call with tear-jerking news, an unusual use for a bow tie, a plethora of eye-patches (surely inspired by the late Nicholas Courtney’s favourite anecdote) and a lapse in grammar when River talks of “theories about you and I”.
There’s also an answer of sorts to “the oldest question in the universe”. It’s something the Doctor has been running from his whole life. Come on, you all know what it is… I guessed weeks ago.

SFX CLOSING TIME 21 TEASERS
19 September, 2011 by Conor Doctor Who , Series 6
Check out some spoiler free teasers for Closing Time from SFX.co.uk below:
1 A slight and frothy episode with a bit of pathos and foreshadowing
2 And when we say slight, we mean slight – the SF plot is virtually non-existent and, unlike its sorta prequel (“The Lodger”), “Closing Time” doesn’t really have a charming, personal tale to tell. There are sweet moments, but no real story
3 Instead it’s more about looking for “telling” parallels and “pertinent” metaphors
4 Clearly the intention is to have some fun between the intensity of previous two episodes and the finale. It is very funny and witty, with some splendid Matt Smith moments but at the expense of virtually all else – there is no sense of threat at all, the monsters are comedy stooges and Craig – so great last time – is a little irritating here
5 However, the foreshadowing does give the episode some gravitas and the final scenes perk things up magnificently
6 There are lots of little “Oooooh” moments as unexpected elements click into place
7 Two people (and one of them’s not Craig) have very surprising career changes
8 There is a potential replacement for K9
9 Stormageddon
10 Freeze frame on a newspaper for some very amusing headlines
11 An enemy from the other side gets a mention
12 The Doctor repeats a line first uttered by Patrick Troughton
13 The resolution to the main plot is very cheesy, and even an attempt to de-cheese it doesn’t really work
14 The Doctor appears to have developed another new power which then mysteriously deserts him again when it would be useful
15 The Doctor is here to help, and has a badge to prove it
16 There’s a wonderful moment with the Doctor and someone his complete opposite under the stars
17 There’s the return of a familiar song
18 There’s the return of a familiar song
19 18 was not a mistake. Maybe it’s a double bluff
20 The Doctor has a smashing moment
21 Somebody’s confused between partners and companions
