Doctor Who has been nominated in the Best Family Drama category in the TV Choice Awards – and if you want to show your support, voting is open now.
And the show is going to need help because it’s up against a number of TV heavy-hitters: Doc Martin, the much-loved ITV drama starring Martin Clunes (Snakedance); Casualty; and Call the Midwife. Doctor Who is certainly in good company!
Last year,
Got it Covered – this year’s Children in Need album – has gone to number one, but not quite in the way the BBC wanted.
The album is a collection of covers recorded especially for Children in Need. Thirteenth Doctor, Jodie Whittaker performs Yellow by Coldplay while Tenth Doctor, David Tennant delivers a version of the Proclaimers’ Sunshine on Leith. Also onboard is the Doctor’s wife herself –…
We’ve had The Five Doctors, Dimensions in Time, Dead Ringers Meets Doctor Who, the Pudsey Cutaway, Time Crash, and The Great Detective. Now, the Doctor has lent her vocal talents to Children in Need, singing the Coldplay standard, Yellow.
Jodie Whittaker’s contribution to Got It Covered is not the only link the album has to Doctor Who. Tenth Doctor, David Tennant has delivered a version of the…
Since the late 1960s, Doctor Who has a small presence in the music world. We’ve had Who’s Dr. Who?, I’m Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek, Doctor in Distress, even the pop song, Doctorin’ the TARDIS. And now it seems, Doctor Who has returned to the world of music once more, this time to aid Children in Need.
It’s recently been announced that BBC One and BBC Children In Need are launching…
Jodie Whittaker has confirmed that she demanded pay equal to that of her male predecessors – and gave an honest answer why she had taken that step (other than, you know, it being wrong not to receive equal pay). Speaking backstage at the National Television Awards, Whittaker said: “I don’t imagine you’re going to meet a woman this evening who is unenthusiastic about the prospect of equal pay.”…
Man, Doctor Who sure does attract a lot of acting talent. So much talent in fact that this year’s National Television Awards best Drama Performance category is chock-a-block with former Doctors and companions. There are (deep breath) three Doctors – Peter Capaldi’s departing Twelfth, Jodie Whittaker’s incoming Thirteenth and David Tennant’s former Tenth – two companions – Pearl Mackie’s outgoing…
The casting of Jodie Whittaker as the next Doctor continues to resonate with the announcement that she’s topped the Radio Times TV 100 list. Chosen by a panel of leading lights in the TV industry (including outgoing showrunner, Steven Moffat), the list celebrates the ‘hottest talents on television today’ in the words of the magazine or, as they put it a little more colourfully, “Which stars do…
The longlist for the National Television Awards has been announced, and while it’s mostly a tad disappointing, we can find a TARDIS-load of familiar names nominated for Drama Performance. The NTAs is an annual ceremony with winners voted for by the public; there are a range of categories, including Comedy, Challenge Show, and Factual Entertainment. Now, you’d expect Doctor Who to be in the Drama…
