Doctor Who – The Eleventh Hour Is Coming!
The Eleventh Hour, the debut story to feature Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor and Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, is heading to our screens soon. The first story of the eleventh Doctor’s era sees the Doctor crash landing on Earth with the TARDIS in ruins, his sonic screwdriver destroyed, and twenty minutes to save the planet from a terrible doom! It’s business as usual, then!
This episode of Doctor Who is being premiered across the country at a series of special events featuring a Doctor Who bus that is taking Matt Smith and Karen Gillan around the country to show it in cities that don’t get as many big events as some of the bigger places in the country.
I think this is a very cool idea indeed, and is sure to help the eleventh Doctor gain some strong new fans. This new series will also see a brand new TARDIS interior, new titles, new music, and the return of the Daleks, the Weeping Angels and even classic bad guys the Silurians!
I personally am really excited about the new series of Doctor Who, the era of the eleventh Doctor, and the era of Steven Moffatt in the driving seat for this chapter in the Doctor Who saga. Clips and early reports suggest a Patrick Troughton/Tom Baker hybrid with a modern edge, which sounds pretty much perfect to me.
The eleventh Doctor is here, and while it will be a rather different show to the one that David Tennant fronted, but it will certainly, totally and utterly be Doctor Who. Long live the eleventh Doctor!
